“Massive thank you to Laura for taking care of Barley boy. She gave Barley lots of attention and left the house tidy and how we left it. She also listened to the instructions we left her as Barley has many quirks and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you! 🥰”
“Daniel was great and we'd really recommend him. Communication was easy right from the start and arrangements were straightforward. He kept us updated while away and did a great job looking after our old cat.”
“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 really is an animal lover. She looks after our three sphynx cats that need human company, as if course, they are house cats- and our crazy Jackapoo like they are her own. We know we can leave them all in very safe hands and go and have a rare day out together as she will stay well into the evening. She’s come early in the morning too to feed and walk so we can go away for a night or two now and not worry at all. Please do not hesitate to book Kamila (although she’s our best kept secret- don’t tell everyone, she’s amazing 😉)”
“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.”
“Sarah helped us out last minute, came in twice a day for a week and the cats adored her! She kept us updated each morning with messages and photos which was so lovely. Will definitely be using her services again if she’s available.”
“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 😊”
“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”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve grown up around them from a young age. I currently have my own miniature poodle, so I understand the importance of providing loving, reliable, and attentive care that makes every dog feel safe and happy. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific feeding and exercise routines, and adapting my care to meet each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience caring for reactive and anxious dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, positive environment where they can feel secure. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For added reassurance, I am trained in pet first aid, so I’m prepared to respond calmly and appropriately in the unlikely event of an emergency. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. I currently work Tuesday to Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm and Saturdays from 9:00am to 1:00pm. My work is flexible, and I can adjust my hours when needed to make sure your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. For friendly, non-reactive, and well-behaved dogs, I’m also able to bring them with me to work, where they’ll receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. This means your dog can enjoy company rather than being left at home. Outside of my working hours, your dog will be with me for walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and plenty of one-to-one care. I always do my best to maintain your dog’s usual routine, so they feel comfortable, happy, and settled while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep their day as normal as possible, from feeding and walks to medication and bedtime routines. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and reactive or anxious dogs, so I’m happy to adapt my approach to suit your pet’s individual needs. I take the time to build trust at their pace, using calm, positive interactions to help them feel secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own. I’ll keep your home clean and tidy, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and always put your pet’s safety first. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in safe hands. As a pet first aid trained sitter, I’m prepared to respond calmly in the unlikely event of an emergency, giving you extra peace of mind while your pet is in my care.
“Bethan was so great looking after my 10 month old husky. Communication and updates were provided as well as my house being respected. Would highly recommend and will happily have look after Luna again - thank you”
“Elena was such a blessing! We were let down by a sitter, and Elena arrived last minute, happy to take on the challenge. She was understanding, kept constant communication with us and took our dog out on so many adventures - He probably misses her more than he missed us on holiday! She even went the extra mile to ensure the house was left in a lovely condition when we returned. Elena listened to everything we asked and even fed our little fish on our behalf. She was easy going, friendly, transparent and knowledgeable when caring for our large german shephard X Doberman rescue. We will definitely be working with Elena again in the future! Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Hilary is extremely knowledgeable & personable & has great patience. I would highly recommend using Hilary for your pet sitting needs & walks. She clearly loves dogs of all sorts.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Once again Molly did a brilliant job looking after Chelsea. She regularly updated us with photos of our little girl. We came back to our happy little girl and our home was clean and tidy too. We will use Molly again!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Eastleigh
Daniel is an excellent sitter, exactly the kind of person you want watching over your pet and your home. He clearly loves and is knowledgeable about cats and connected with Ned right away. He was also very considerate in making sure our home was 100% ready for us before we returned. We will absolutely be booking with him again :)
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.
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.
