“Marcella is just the best. This was a last minute booking due to a family situation and it was so reassuring to know Tig was safe while I was away. That feeling of trust and confidence is amazing. Thank you Marcella”
“Kamila is definitely our Labrador Poppy and cat Indy's new best buddy! She looked after them for 2 nights over new year and they had a great time, both Poppy and Indy were very well cared for. Kamila took on board all our instructions and left our home clean and tidy. We'd absolutely recommend Kamila if you need a sitter.”
“This was the first time Laura looked after my two girls and she came to meet them ahead of the actual day. Laura was very calm and confident with them both, Nellie is a very strong girl and Laura managed her on the lead really well. During the sitting Laura sent me some lovely pictures and a video of the girls playing. They were really calm and relaxed when I got home, they really took to Laura and had clearly had a fun day. I feel very confident leaving my girls in her care. Thank you.”
“We had a great experience with Hannah! Our 4-month-old puppy was so well cared for and clearly received lots of love, attention, and patience. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our puppy was happy and relaxed, and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommend—thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little one!”
“I can’t rate Olivia high enough. Having used a few sitters before Who were questionable at best I had almost given up going away again until we found Olivia . She looks after Pete so well and the property is always left clean and tidy. She has so much of patience to put up with his neediness and constant requirement for attention. She always keeps us up to date with photos and messages which really helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him for a break.”
“Charlotte did a tremendous job of looking after our 8 year old staffie Gunner for a weekend. She was attentive and clear in her communication with us. Due to the heat, she was happy to take him to a private dog field at 8am one morning to ensure he got his exercise (away from other dogs). I'd recommend her to anyone.”
“The dogs have a wonderful time with Hilary and her regular updates mean that I can travel feeling relaxed and unworried about them. I would recommend her unreservedly as a house and pet sitter and a lovely person to work with.”
“Amazing! First time Eirian looked after thomas and as soon as he met her Thomas took to her immediately (this sadly doesn’t happen every time) we came home to a calm and happy senior dog. Thank you Eirian we hope to see you again xxx”
“Lynne was fantastic, taking amazing care of our Labrador, bunnies and our house. Fantastic communication skills, reliable, proactive, I couldn’t have asked for more and I will certainly be in touch as soon as we need house sitting again.”
“What a treasure! The perfect dogsitter, every which way. Sensible, caring, responsible and with a lovely sense of humour, I'm thrilled we've found Kirsty. Thank you SO much.”
“Lovely easy going manner that put you at ease that she could handle all eventualities. Confident with the dogs and good communication skills. Would not hesitate to rebook with Holly.”
“Natasha was fantastic with my cat Olten, he can be temperamental but she was patient and he even sat on her knee. She sent me lots of updates and pictures and last minute did an extra night which was so helpful! She also left the house super clean. I would definitely book again 😊”
“Kerry was absolutely fabulous with Rosie. She updated me daily and kept in the know when she has taken her medicine. I came home to a very happy puppy who miss her adventures with Kerry! Will definitely book again and 100% recommend! Thank you! ☺️”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Eastleigh
We came back to a super happy puppy after our long weekend all thanks to Kirsty. She sent us regular updates and put our minds at ease from the get go so we knew he was in safe hands. Kirsty made everything super simple and left everything spotless - the perfect houseguest. We will definitely use Kirsty again!
Melissa looked after our puppy for an afternoon and long evening and I honestly can’t recommend Melissa enough! Our puppy is in the nippy chewing stage and Melissa was excellent at dealing with that, she took on board our instructions to deal with it and had such a calm attitude. Will definitely be using Melissa again.
Loz was calm, patient, and very understanding with both Jerry and Cuddles. They were a little nervous initially, but she handled them really well and they settled in quickly. It was lovely to receive updates, and both of them looked comfortable throughout their stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We’d be very happy to leave them with Loz again and would highly recommend her.
Kamila is a 5-star sitter. She takes good care of Biscuit, and I’m sure Biscuit loves her - I always get cute pictures of their cuddles. Kamila communicates well and when there was a health concern, Kamila sent updates and photos to reassure me about how Biscuit was doing. Highly recommend.
Dan did a really good job looking after my fur babies. He made every effort to make them feel comfortable and in a routine. I got videos and pictures every day and even TP licked his head- which she never does for new people! Lovely person, would definitely use him for my next trip!
Amber was an amazing sitter for our two spaniels. They went on some lovely walks and we were updated throughout the sit. She sat at our house and you could see she showed it the most respect. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amber enough and will most certainly use her services again in the future.
Milo stayed with Martin and his housemates, for 24hrs, at short notice. Martin was happy to squeeze in a quick meet and greet before the stay and even offered to drop Milo back to us, after his stay was finished. I received regular updates and Milo came back very happy.. Probably from all of the attention he was getting! I wouldn't hesitate in letting Martin look after Milo again and would recommend his services to anyone looking for care for their dog.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Eastleigh walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Eastleigh choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
