“Wonderful Experience with Julia F.! We recently had Julia care for our cat crew while we were away, and she was absolutely fantastic. She met with us beforehand so we could get acquainted, and it was clear right away that she genuinely loves animals and takes her work seriously. During our trip, Julia communicated consistently and sent lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by spending extra time with our cats, making sure they were not just cared for but also comforted and entertained. We came home to happy, relaxed cats — and that says it all. We highly recommend Julia and would absolutely book her again!”
“Susan is just want you hope for in someone caring for your pet. Very responsive and professionally responsible. She is thorough in understanding yours and your pet’s needs, and is considerate within the neighborhood. ~ and now the fun part! My pup, Greta took an instance likely to Susan’s warm nature! I think Greta thinks of her as her adventure buddy! Hook on the leash and she never looks back for me! A good long walk to help with the puppy energy! Greta comes back prancing and happy! I very much appreciate having found Susan on Rover, and will definitely be a repeat customer! Susan is awesome!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sam and would highly recommend her. She was always punctual, reliable, and professional. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates she sent during each visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very communicative and never hesitated to reach out if she had a question or needed clarification. Most importantly, our two Chihuahuas absolutely loved her. They took to her instantly, which is not always the case with new people, and it was clear they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, she is an excellent choice. We would gladly work with her again.”
“Veska took such great care with our 16 year old dachshund. She went above and beyond to walk and feed Sweetpea. We highly recommend the dog care service that Veska provides.”
“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.
“Xi was a very loving and gentle cat sitter for my 2 kitties during a recent extended trip. She managed insulin injections for my youngest sweetheart! Always a good communicator and very respectful! I would not hesitate to call for Xi again!”
“Daniel was awesome and my dog Dakota was excited to see him. He checked in with me and gave me updates on his stay with Dakota and was on time for everything. Will be booking next time I am away.”
About: Hi my name is Briana! I am the ultimate dog lover. I’ve always had a dog as my life doesn’t feel complete without one! I would love to help you with your pup! Whether it be a walk or a snuggle your pup needs I am the girl for you! I am very active and love being outdoors. I am looking to get in many walks and check ins. I am a full time nurse but only work three days a week so looking to walk dogs on my days off. I have experience with all types and sizes of dogs. I also have experience watching more than one dog at a time. I hope I get the pleasure to meet you and your pup soon!
“Liliana is an awesome sitter! She came through when I needed a last minute sitter to look after my three cats. She was extremely communicative while we were out and followed all instructions clearly which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call on Liliana when we need a sitter in the future.”
About: Unable to have pets of my own, I love taking care of others! I love cat sitting - although I am a dog lover from the start. I love learning each pet’s distinct personality, the ways they play, nonverbal messaging and patterns. I am comfortable giving medications - having had a cat that lived well into her 20s, as well as kitten care. I love dogs, especially walks, play time and petting! I am a vetted and trusted house sitter in Portsmouth. For cats, I typically do a morning feed and play time, lunch time check in for play, brushing or just presence and an evening hang out - food, litter box, play time and cuddle time. When I have time off I like to spend it with the animals. I can come to you and will treat your home better than my own - more like I am looking for a five-star airbnb review. I am quiet and mostly want to spend time with your pet and read.
“Cecelia was wonderful ! Amazing communication from start to finish. Took great care of our boy Myles . Definitely would recommend and will be using her services again.”
“Yujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and he’s been amazing. He’s very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. He’s truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while I’m working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the day—playing with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!”
About: I love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I am responsible, dependable, and will treat every pet like my own! I also have experience with dog sitting and walking. I love being active and outside. I also am at school missing my puppies at home so I will give your all of the attention, this is just as much for me as it is for them! I am currently in classes so I am working around that but can be very flexible on weekends and Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after 10 am! I have a huge fenced in backyard where I love to throw the ball and play with my pups. I also walk them around my neighborhood when I feel they need a change of scenery and some new smells!
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet sit for a number family members; cars, dogs, chickens, and a duck. Have taken care of my pets solo for extended periods of time. I am currently in school for Elementary Education. I have classes 3 times week, but 2 only have certain dates. I am not on campus for more than 2 hours each of these days. Can easily go from class to a job. Follow owners directions carefully, and make sure the pets have everything they need. Will follow directions explicitly. Company, food, water, walks, medication, and other requirements for said pets

James took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is shy and the other is very needy, and James was incredibly patient with both of them. He was also super communicative and sent regular updates throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind. It was a huge relief to know my cats were in such caring hands. We're so grateful and will definitely be booking James again!
This is the second time Erica cared for our two cats while we were on vacation. She is fabulous, dependable, kind and the cats love her. She gave our cat his medicine properly and did everything she said she would, arriving as expected each time. We trust Erica 100% and are thankful for her great care and trustworthiness!
We had a wonderful experience with Sam and would highly recommend her. She was always punctual, reliable, and professional. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates she sent during each visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very communicative and never hesitated to reach out if she had a question or needed clarification. Most importantly, our two Chihuahuas absolutely loved her. They took to her instantly, which is not always the case with new people, and it was clear they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, she is an excellent choice. We would gladly work with her again.
Julia watched our two Maine Coon brothers Marco & Polo for an extended 4 day weekend away. I could tell right away from our meet & greet that our boys took to her immediately and would be excited and happy to see her during her drop-ins. Our boys are friendly already, but even the more aloof and cautions brother, who generally takes a little time to warm up to new faces, treated her as family from day one. She provided check-in and out notifications and detailed status reports - including lots of pictures - of each visit. These are exactly what a caring pet parent wants to see, not only to know your babies are in good hands, but to take the edge off of missing them while you're away :) One of our boys takes medications, and they both need fiber & water added to their diet, so the feeding routine is slightly more complicated than is typical, and Julia had all of their needs met. She responds to any questions/comments immediately. I can't recommend Julia enough for your own babies, and any time we need services in the future, Julia will absolutely be the one we trust to keep our boys happy and healthy.
This was our first time using Rover and having someone come into our home to care for our dogs, and Andy made the whole experience so easy! One of our dogs can be a little tentative with new people, but he loved Andy immediately, which made us feel so comfortable. Andy took great care of both of them, and we’ll absolutely be using him again. Highly recommend!
Courtney was such a big help when we booked with her last minute for drop-ins all week with our two dogs. She made sure the visits were spaced out appropriately, gave the dogs plenty of time to get outside and carry on as normally as possible while we were gone! Will definitely be rebooking with Courtney in the future!
Stephanie is an amazing sitter! She watched our two cats for a little over a week, and did such a great job. We received text updates and photos every day, and even our bashful cat came out to see her and play, which is quite a compliment! She played with them daily and always made sure they had their "dinner" on time. We'll definitely use Stephanie again and really recommend her. Thank you!
I made a last minute booking request on a Saturday evening for an appointment on Sunday evening. Peter replied promptly and agreed to meet the next morning. Peter was on time and had a good rapport with my dog. We confirmed the appointment and on Sunday evening he sent us update detailjng how the visit went. We are very happy with their first Rover experience. Thank you, Peter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stratham is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,112 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stratham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stratham. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
