“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”
“Sarah was lovely with Drizzt! Communicative throughout the day with message updates, pictures and videos so I could have total peace of mind knowing my dog was in safe hands and having a lovely time. It was like Drizzt was staying with a family member. It's a no brainer for me, I'll definitely be booking again when needed. Highly recommended”
“Lexi immediately bonded with John who had a real rapport with her. He kindly arrived early to go over her routine and sent photos and updates throughout the day. Lexi settled really well and obviously had a great day. Would definitely book John again.”
“Kamila is honestly my go to when it comes to looking after Barley. Barley always has the BEST time with her and he is obsessed. She always puts the dogs needs first, plays with them, takes them out on exciting walks, teaches them new things and gives them so much love and belly rubs. Also not to mention, you always take the best photos 😊 Thank you for looking after Barley - couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Laura helped us out with a house sit for our springer spaniel ‘Barney’. We cannot recommend her enough. Laura made everything easy as we had not used Rover before. Barney was well looked after and we will be using Laura agin. Thanks Laura especially from Barney”
“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!”
“Hannah agreed to look after Milo at short notice, which was very much appreciated. Her communication throughout the booking process and his stay was fantastic. She even allowed us to be flexible with the drop-off and pick up times, which was so useful, due to changing travel plans. We would hesitate in using Hannah's sitting services again, or recommending her to others.”
“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.”
“Eirian house sitter our border Collie Jet for 6 days, excellent communication, sent photos of Jet, tidy and we will definitely re-book. And most importantly Jet loved Eririan.”
“Hilary has done a fantastic job of looking after our dog Simba once again this weekend. He has had so many lovely walks and Hilary has kept us updated with regular photos. Hilary is totally reliable and trustworthy and I would recommend her 100%.”
“Caroline looked after my elderly cat really well including managing her arthritis medication. Bella was happy with Caroline; the photos and text updates sent to me while away clearly evidenced Bella was contented. Caroline looked after our home fantastically, the place was lovely and clean when we walked back in, with spring daffodils really appreciated. I would highly recommend Caroline for your pet and house sitting and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks Caroline.”
“We were very lucky that Helen was available at short notice to stay with our mini dachsie for our overnight away. She communicated throughout and gave regular updates. Could not be happier with her service. Thank you so much, Helen!”
“We booked Molly to dog sit in our house over a wedding weekend for the first time. As I already knew our pup loves her, there was no hesitation there! Molly provided great pup-dates and left the house clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be rebooking - thanks Molly !”
“Jasmine and Nick are absolutely lovely.We were doing a test run with our sensitive Chihuahua Ponte so he gets used to them for their house sitting here for 2 days next week. I would highly recommend them ,they are very intuiative to the animals needs.They enjoyed cuddles with our cat Gulliver and let Ponte just chill and get used to them being around.”
“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.”
“Hayley was so good with our boys, she met them prior to looking after them, came on a walk with us to get to know them a little better. She also came an hour before we left for holiday so we could show her around the house and so that we could settle them with her, they warmed to her so quickly we were instantly at ease. She kept in contact with us throughout our holiday and shared updates and some fab pictures! Would highly recommend Hayley, she kept the house nice and clean and our two dogs were well looked after and very happy boys when we returned. Only complaint was she didn’t eat the Christmas chocolates I asked her to demolish before our return 😜 Would 100% book Hayley again. Thank you x”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Eastleigh
This was our first time using Kirsty to look after our 3 cats whilst we were away, including one cat that requires twice daily medication. And of course, looking after the house. Simply put, Kirsty was great! She quickly picked up on our cats' foibles, kept us up to date with plenty of messages and photos, and was eminently sensible and flexible. We are delighted to have found her, and have already booked her again.
Caroline looked after Humphrey and Jasper beautifully. It was exceptionally hot, so it was quite tricky getting them walked in the cooler hours of the day. She formed a routine with them and has left the house immaculate. If she had any questions or problems, she messaged me.
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.
This is the second time I've used Jasmine for an extended house sit, and I couldn't be happier. Jasmine goes above and beyond, treating your pups as you would—completely spoiled! She even organised a mini birthday party for Mabel, with a banner, balloons, and doggy cake. We returned to a very happy and relaxed pup, which is always a positive sign. Jasmine also left the house spotless. Highly recommend.
Abby house and dog sat for a week and was fantastic from start to finish. Communication before, during, and after were great. We felt incredibly comfortably reassured that our house and dogs were being well looked after. We would 100% recommend Abby and Sonny to others, and gladly welcome them back again as two lovely people.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eastleigh

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.
