“From the moment Sarah messaged us about our booking to the moment she finished looking after Blu we couldn’t have faulted her. She did an excellent job and was respectful of our privacy. She gave us updates everyday with lovely videos and photos. We felt like our cat was in very good hands and we didn’t worry at all. Thank you so much Sarah, we’ll definitely be using you again!”
“A big thanks to Amy for providing regular updates and ensuring Odie was well cared for whilst we were away. He's nervous around strangers and we really appreciated how patient she was with him. Amy was friendly and helpful throughout her time as sitter. 5 star service!”
“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 😳”
“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.”
“Kim was super helpful and friendly, plus she managed to befriend my cat Jackie who isn't usually a fan of strangers/humans in general! Was great to get daily pictures on the check-in visits. 5/5”
“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!”
“Ellie was a star, providing cover at short notice to visit Pedro twice in one day. Pedro was very comfortable with her relaxed and confident manner, and gave us peace of mind to be able to leave Pedro all day. We are very grateful to her.”
“Helena has been amazing with our Arlo! He absolutely loves her and has the best time with her. It's so good to know our boy is being well looked after when we have to be away. Helena has also been flexible when we've had to change our schedule 🩷 It's hard to find a good sitter, but such a peace of mind when we do, very grateful!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Max Elena, Absolutely loved how she put more effort than we asked her to in taking care of our Dog Chadwick. Chadwick can be very anxious when we’re away but she was able to calm him down and updated us from time to time with messages and pictures. We felt very safe leaving him with Elena. Will definitely book again when we’re away, thank you very much Elena🫶”
“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!”
“Natasha was brilliant again, she kept me well updated and sent pictures. My cat Olten is happy in her care and always seems relaxed after Natasha has looked after him. Thank you again ☺️”
About: I have 2 female labradors in the house (5 years and her daughter 1 year). I have bred a litter and so am experienced looking after young puppies. I’m retired, so I’m in the house most of the day. My dogs get taken on safe enclosed walks an hour long each day. I have a big house/garden for the dogs to relax and play in. I’m up around 8am and go for an hours walk with the dogs around 9-10am Pottering around the garden during the day Afternoon walk with the dogs (hot weather depending, else it’s a walk after 9pm) I’m retired and so lots of time can be spent with the dogs. I have a large fenced garden and 2 lovely tempered female Labradors (5 and 1) I’ll treat your pet like my own and they will have full roaming of garden and house I have stair gates, if you prefer your dogs to stay downstairs
About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets growing up. I’m comfortable with understanding dog behaviour and I’ve volunteered for Greyhound Trust (1 year) and Dog’s Trust (1 year), and I also completed a dog behavioural course at Dog’s Trust. All three of the dogs (whippets and whippet crosses) my family have owned have been rescued and all dogs were house trained and taught tricks. I also have experience handling several different dog breeds and can provide tailored house sitting to fit your pet’s needs. I’ve just returned from 6 months of travelling and am currently looking for fulltime work so I have all the time to look after and play with your pets! I’m also available most days of the weeks so let me know when you want me to pop by! I can cater to your pet’s needs! If your pet needs long or short walks, enrichment toys, medication given at specific times (e.g tablets), or even a cuddle, just let me know your/their preferences and I’ll do what I can for your pet.
“It’s always tricky leaving our cat with strangers, as she doesn’t always take well to them. But our cat did with Kerry. The cat was well taken care off and the reports Kerry sent were well informed. Kerry will be first choice when we go away again!”
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Eastleigh is £12

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.
Sarah provided great company to our two little pups during her drop-in visit and provided us with plenty of details of how they got on, giving us peace of mind that the dogs were well looked-after on our day out 😊 She was also replied speedily to any messages and was proactive at organising key drop-off and all the special needs our older dog needed. Would recommend and would book her again!
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!
Ellie very kindly did a drop in visit for my puppy last minute. Communication before the visit was brilliant. Juniper clearly had a great time with Ellie and I came home to a very happy puppy. I had some lovely pictures and overview of what Ellie and Juniper got up to. Absolutely would recommend Ellie and I would have her come again in a heartbeat.
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. 🐈 😻

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.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Eastleigh pet parents with similar pet households.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
