“Hilary was brilliant with our puppy - he clearly had a great time with her on the home visits. Reliable, experienced and very good at keeping in touch before, during and after the booked sessions. Thank you Hilary!”
“Daniel was brilliant looking after our beautiful bengal, Freddie. He’s often a bit stressed when we get back from a trip but this time he seemed remarkably calm and happy. The pictures and videos every single visit were something we looked forward to and it was such a relief to know that he was being looked after so well back at home whilst we were away. We will always come back to Daniel for cat sitting - something I suspect Freddie will be very pleased about!”
“A definite recommend! Rebecca Y walked into the house for the meet and greet and my dog immediately felt safe in her presence. Rebecca took excellent care of my pooch when I was away from home and I feel so much peace of mind being able to leave her in Rebecca's care when I need to!”
“I couldn't be any happier! Eliza left detailed report cards and my cat looked very happy from the photos! She was careful and understanding with all my requests! Will book again with her without a doubt!”
“It gives us such peace of mind to know that Pedro will be absolutely fine with Caroline visiting him when we have to leave him alone. She inspires confidence and Pedro is very comfortable with her.”
“Eirian was very friendly, professional and she listened to every instructions I gave her for my dog Pixel. He is reactive to the doorbell, can be agressive when I receive guests and she was great. We did some exercises with the doorbell, I invited her in the house a few times and Pixel’s reactivity really improved.”
“Molly took excellent care of our cat Fudge, visiting twice a day when we were on holiday. She clearly made a real effort to get to know him, going above and beyond what was expected to make sure he was happy and well looked after. We are very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Molly to come back again - Fudge will be looking forward to it! ?”
“Was nervous leaving willow for the 1st time. We felt it better to keep in in his own familiar surroundings. We found Rover and contacted Natalie, who answered promptly and arranged to pop around to meet Willow. Natalie was punctual and I could tell instantly that she’d be great and Willow would be in safe hands. Natalie popped in 2x daily as agreed and I received daily updates. I could not have been happier with her. We had no WiFi signal and my messages to her were always undelivered. I didn’t panic (as would have been my usual behaviour in this instance) as I received and read daily updates (with photos) . Willow was completely at ease with Natalie and looked as though he didn’t miss us at all 🤷♀️ We had a 9 hour drive home from our holiday which incurred regular half hourly outbursts by me wondering if the cat was going to hate us for leaving him😵💫 We arrived home, I left my partner to unpack all the car and went straight indoors to see Willow, who was lounging, but got up to ask for dinner. It was as though we had never been away. I could not recommend her highly enough and 5* are not enough 🐈😊”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and got a puppy a year ago so I have recent experience with young dogs too :). I have also worked with horses for 5+years and i’m studying a zoology degree at uni. Animals and especially dogs give me great happiness in my life and im hoping to reconnect with them as i miss my doggo at home! My schedule is currently very free and flexible, the only time off limits is Mondays until 12pm. Other than this, i’m available anytime during the week needed. I would care for any dog as my own, I love to play and be energetic but can also chill out with them if needed! I love to go on walks and am passionate about nature, one of my favorite hobbies is going on dog walks. I am good at knowing what dogs need and love making them feel cared for.
About: Ive had experience of caring for most types of animals in my life. I am a massive animal lover and enjoy looking after all types of animal. If there is an animal about, thats where you will find me! I have 2 pet boy bunnies of my own who I adore and there are 3 dogs and a hamster in the wider family. I am a nurse by profession and from as young as 11, have enjoyed looking after other people's pets. I would often have a pet come and stay or be off to feed an animal. I am unable to have pets stay in my house other than a hamster/mouse/rat/gerbil. I am more than willing to do dog walking and pet pop ins. I offer a bespoke service tailored to the needs of you and your pet. I also have experience of looking after older pets with medical requirements such as medicines they may need. I pride myself on attention to detail and being reliable. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I am also happy to do plant watering, fish feeding, and other little jobs that you require whilst away. Please note, I am unable to do Mon, Tues and Fridays due to my work. However, if you require a pop in or dog walk on these days I could do 6 am and or after 6pm. Thank you for reading. Bev I work 3 days a week as a nurse. However, I am more than happy and able to do pop ins pre and post shift on those days. The other 4 days of the week I can be available any time. Regardless of the day, your pet will get my time and attention. I am not able to have most pets in my house due to the bunnies. I could look after a hamster/gerbil/rat for example. I am highly respectful of people's homes and property and would maintain the utmost security and care of your property if I was doing pop ins for you.
About: Hello! I work from home quite a bit and I’m really missing the company of my dog. I thoroughly enjoy going on little adventures and like to get the steps in. I’ve had 13 years experience caring for my dog at home and most recently an Alsatian puppy. I’ve also had experience volunteering in an animal shelter! While I work part time my schedule is pretty flexible and I love nothing more than a break from the computer to get some fresh air. Keeping your pet happy and healthy is the top priority. I will play with them, walk them and keep them well fed and well rested. And of course give them loads of love!
“John was amazing with Thor. I am a “pet mum” full of requests and reminders , lists on the wall and especially i request a continues update. John gave me everything I requested and he was really caring and affectionate with Thor🥰 I was a little apprehensive about many things cause although Thor is not a Huge dog is anyway a dog of a certain size, I have nothing but good words about him and I will for sure book him again in the future.”
“Pablo was a great sitter for my cats over the Christmas period. He arrived at the agreed times and gave my cats all the care and attention they need. I had updates each visit, including photos and videos of the cats playing and purring away. This is the first time I have used Rover and would definitely use the service again! Pablo is highly recommended and I will definitely book him again if required.”

Would really recommend leaving your cat in the capable hands of Kirsty, I came back to a very happy cat that had been well cared for. The report card she gives is brilliant, includes an update and a photo each time, which put my mind at rest he was being well looked after.
We've had Hayley look after our gang twice now and she has won over 6/7, which is honestly amazing. Some of our cats came as rescues from very troubled starts in life and so when we go away, we have always warned the cat-sitters that they probably won't even see most of the cats as they hide away in our absence. But Hayley has sent us multiple photos of even one of our shyest softies coming to have a fuss from her. Everything was done to the letter with feeding, watering and litter clearing. Honestly, I don't think we'd want to use anybody else now, so we highly recommend Hayley. Xxx
Daniel was brilliant looking after our beautiful bengal, Freddie. He’s often a bit stressed when we get back from a trip but this time he seemed remarkably calm and happy. The pictures and videos every single visit were something we looked forward to and it was such a relief to know that he was being looked after so well back at home whilst we were away. We will always come back to Daniel for cat sitting - something I suspect Freddie will be very pleased about!
Sarah was fantastic and I’ll be using again. Sarah sent me lovely updates to see how my boys were getting on. She kept them well Fed and watered and also brought toys with her to keep them entertained. I loved the daily updates with photos which gave me peace of mind that they were being very well looked after. Thank you Sarah
Loz was amazing. Marley and Jasper were well looked after and the check-in helped me to be able to relax whilst away. I really appreciated the communication and also giving Marley his medication too. Really grateful and will definitely be rebooking with Loz in the future.
Eirian was happy to meet with us first so we could chat through things. She arrived on time. Once we were away, she looked after our cats so well while we were away and she even put our bin away for us, so it wasn’t so obvious we were away. Thank you Eirian.
How lucky we feel, to go away and leave our cat with Natalie. She is amazing, gives daily updates and Willow looks so chilled with her. She even put our wheels bin out on collection day. I do not think I’d come away if we couldn’t leave Willow in her hands. 🐈 😻
Pablo was a great sitter for my cats over the Christmas period. He arrived at the agreed times and gave my cats all the care and attention they need. I had updates each visit, including photos and videos of the cats playing and purring away. This is the first time I have used Rover and would definitely use the service again! Pablo is highly recommended and I will definitely book him again if required.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Eastleigh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Eastleigh on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 779 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Eastleigh. About 89% of Eastleigh sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
