About: I have grown up around many animals all my life. I am very compassionate to care for them and to meet their needs. Since moving out of the family home, I have my own cat, Benji, who is very energetic, mischievous, I adore coming home to seeing him. During my time living in my family home, I had numerous cats and 1 dog, who was a puppy when we brought him, he is a dalmadoodle. I enjoyed training him with my parents. I am a swimming teacher working predominantly with babies and toddlers between the hours of 10-12 and 3:30-5, and have a lot of time during the day to play with your animals, give them walks and give them the best life. I will care for pets in their home by being there for them when they would like to play, go for a walk or go to the toilet and food times! I will care for them like they are my own pet.
“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.”
“Absolutely love Molly, timely and really friendly. My two poms love her. Having one quite older dog and one younger dog it was important to find someone who understood there needs and Molly was very good with this. Will most definitely be rebooking 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.”
“Laura did an amazing job with Missy!! Would defo recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their furr babies, she was so friendly and lovely when I met her :) great service! Was so lovely looking at the photos of her playing :)”
“Eliza was fantastic looking after Lily while we were away. She was reliable, caring and kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Lily was happy, relaxed and well looked after when we returned. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you so much, Eliza”
“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!”
“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.”
“We had to abandon our cat for the weekend to visit our son. We didn’t have a single concern after arranging for Natalie to pop in 2x per day. She fed Willow, changed his litter and played with him Willow was so chilled when we got home, he’d had dinner and didn’t even come downstairs to greet us 😳”
About: Hi, I’m Daniel — a compassionate and reliable pet sitter based in Southampton. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats and small pets, and they’ve always been a huge source of joy for me. There’s something special about being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I’ve looked after pets for friends, family and colleagues, including dogs, cats and rabbits. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs a good walk, a nervous pet who needs patience, or a senior animal who needs a gentler approach, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m naturally calm, attentive and caring, but also playful when the situation calls for it. I genuinely love what I do, and nothing beats seeing a pet relaxed, happy and thriving in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work from home most of the week, which gives me good flexibility during the day. I’m typically available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends, and I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks or check-ins to make sure pets get consistent care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I can also adapt to different routines, whether that’s morning visits, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise keeping their routine and environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, from feeding and walks to any specific behaviours or needs, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean and tidy, and ensure doors, gates and any safety measures are properly managed at all times. I stay attentive to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m always prepared to respond calmly if anything unexpected arises. I also keep owners updated regularly, so they can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have had dogs from when I was young and as an adult. Dogs I’ve had have been from puppies so have experience of very young dogs. I currently have a dog who is my little buddy. I am DBS checked and cleared. I’m self employed so I have some different days free each week where I can care for other pets and prepared to travel up to a distance of 10 miles I have a fenced garden with a very friendly dog who likes to meet other dogs and people. Dogs are allowed on furniture and bed
“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.”
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!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and have experienced caring for small dogs (dachounds) to large dogs (Boerboels). I enjoy running so if your dog enjoys going for walks/runs in the park I would be happy to bring them along with their favourite toy if they enjoy playing fetch! Walks take place in Stoke Park during daylight hours, and happy to bring treats and toys along if your pet requires this during their walks. Puppy training can also be provided if requested I can stay at home for longer periods of time if your dog gets anxious being left alone. I am also happy to help with medication administration (oral tablets/gels only). I have plenty of availability and happy to work around your pets requirements. I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, willing to be patient and provide extra support for pets with limited mobility. Please notify me of any requirements your pet needs, such as any dog treats they cannot have and if your pet reacts to loud noises / other dogs.

From tail-wagging adventures to cozy cuddle sessions, I've experienced it all. And I am experiencing it today with my own waggy Spaniel.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She was very flexible as we had some last minute changes of our plan, she sent lots of information and photos/videos of our cats so we knew how they were getting on, and even did more than we asked for (e.g. clearing up litter the cats had trailed!). Could recommend her more & we would like to use her for all future holidays 😊
Charlotte was fantastic from start to finish. Our cat loved her and she was great at communication sending us lots of photos and videos when she was pet sitting. Charlotte was coming round during a heat wave so made sure our cat had plenty of water to make sure our cat was going to be ok during the hot spell. Thanks again Charlotte 5 star
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. 🐈 😻
If you’re looking for a cat sitter, you don’t need to look any further - just go with Loz. It was our first time away, and when we got back they were both chilled and happy, which was such a relief. In every set of check-in photos, we could see they loved Loz, and it just made the trip so much easier knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Eastleigh on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 693 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Eastleigh. About 93% 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.
