“Absolutely fantastic service, she was kind when first meeting Poppy who wasn’t to sure at first! From the pictures it looked like Poppy really warmed up to Jennifer and looks relaxed. Which is a complete relief to know someone was there for her while we went to a concert. Thank you so much Jennifer!!”
“Kerry was amazing, helped me out last minute when I needed someone to look in on my cat Bella. Bella took to her straight away and I received updates and photos each day. It was reassuring to know she was happy and cared for while we were away. I would have no hesitation rebooking or recommending Kerry to a friend.”
“Thank you so much to Sally for the pop in today, Winnie looked happy in the pictures and we appreciated that Sally stayed extra time with her as well which we weren’t expecting 😊”
“Keighley filled in for us as our usual sitter was away and did a fantastic job. She kept us up to date with every visit and Pippi seemed perfectly content! Keighley kept her food topped up and took care of the litter tray for us, even cleaning up after Pips had an accident. Thank you so much for sitting for us, would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had had the privilege of being both a cat and dog mum. I lived in Dubai for 10 years and this is where I had my first experience of taking in 3 rescue kittens, that I went onto adopt. Then my rescue desert dog, followed by many more. They all returned with me to the UK and lived long and happy lives. I’ve also been a dog walker and cat companion for the RSPCA. Whilst I don’t have my own pets at the moment, we have many in the family that I am called on to look after. I work for myself so am able to run my own diary and I’m able to fit any pet care services around my current responsibilities. Although I don’t currently offer pet boarding services in my own home. I have a fenced garden and internal doors that allow for the front door to be separated from the main living area.
About: I've grown up with cats and love spending time with dogs, and I have sat for owners of both cats and dogs. I love all animals and would be excited to look after all kinds of pets! I adapt well to the pet's needs and personality, allowing them to warm up to me naturally. I will be able to spend lots of time with your pet! I travel frequently to see my partner who lives overseas, so a regular work schedule doesn't suit my needs. That means the flexibility of pet sitting is right up my street, and is my main focus. Apart from a few hobbies, I will be spending all my time at home taking care of your fur baby! I like to learn your pet's routines and keep to them where I can to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet, so I will send messages about how the pets are getting on as frequently as you'd like. Daily pupdates are not too much to ask!
“Kirsty is absolutely amazing with my nervous dog, and very respectful and considerate. I messaged Kirsty first to explain about my dog to see if she is comfortable watching her, and she came for a couple of meet and greets to ensure that my dog is comfortable and happy before Kirsty watched her whilst I was out for the day. She was very attentive to everything I asked of her, and ensured to take notes to make sure that nothing got missed. I loved the photo updates Kirsty sent to me throughout the day and I am so pleased at how quickly my dog became comfortable around her, especially as she does usually take quite a bit of time to warm up to strangers. I am looking forward to asking Kirsty to watch my dog again so I can enjoy a stress free day out, knowing that my dog is in very safe hands!”
“Olivia was fabulous for our two little kitties. We just got back and it’s clear they’ve been very well looked after. Olivia’s communication was excellent! Would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals in my grandparents farm,where they had all sort of animals as dogs,cats,hens,rabbits and lambs!! I have a genuine love and respect for all animals so I decided to leave my old job and become a dog trainer. I have Level 3 dog trainer and now I'm studying Pet Dog Trainer Instructor Level 4. I've been walking all dogs breeds and puppies too for two years now and I use to have a quick bond with them. I'm starting my day around 9 am till 5 pm walking dogs at the moment,but I can always agreed with the client for the time that best suits them. I have a Level 2 pet first aid,so apart all the fun,feeding,walking,etc I'm qualified in case of an emergency. I can give them medication and I dealt even with seizures.
“Jane has been fantastic with our 7 month old puppy, Merlin. She has been very understanding and attentive of Merlin's needs and behaviours as an adolescent puppy and looked after him really well. She was very knowledgable and experienced. She took time to listen to us about Merlin’s care and has followed what we said. Merlin was very happy and I would definitely recommend Jane for any pet care as she has done a great job with Merlin, thank you Jane ☺️”
About: We really love getting to know all the new dogs we look after, and those we've come to know and become fond of after repeat care. We're reliable, and are at home all the time so have the time to look after dogs. We really love our own dogs having the chance to interact with other dogs, being able to play and have a doggy social life. Our own dogs are like children and treated with love and affection, they're a part of our family. We extend that same level of care to every dog in our care. Our Beagle is a wise and gentle companion who loves walks and snuggles and interacting with other dogs, while our Husky is a calm and shy sweetheart who adores affection and playtime's and has good character judgement like most dogs. We have a very spacious house with a lovely large fenced garden in a peaceful community backing onto the Windmill and woods, offering AMPLE space for play and exploration (garden doors constantly open for freedom to wander in and out, unless it's bad weather). Our usual haunts are either through the Windmill Woods, the nearest dog enclosure, or one of the country parks, but we do also have other routes we walk too so it doesn't become repetitive. We work from home during the week so have the time to look after dogs, and we like that our dogs get to meet and socialise with other dogs often. Dogs in our care are free to go outside in the garden whenever they need to and always have water, food and treats and walk breaks. We have a young child and older children so if your dog doesn't get on well with children due to nerves or past history, this won't be a setting for them in.
About: Me and my partner Ben, 27 & 29 have both had pets our whole lives. We have loads of free time in the day and would love to look after your pets! I also have an enhanced DBS. We have free time in the days and weekends, one of us can always be home, and we have so much free time for walks and playing! We have a fenced off back garden with plenty of space, and shade. Lots of space indoors, nice and secure. And a lovely walk nearby. The gates to the garden are padlocked, and the house is alarmed.
“Anthony goes above and beyond to make sure Skybear is well cared for. Takes the stress out of being away because we know we are coming back to a happy dog. Can’t rate him high enough”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I owned a cat my whole life, and who I absolutely adored! I also have experience with dogs and small pets, I am willing to answer any questions, and I am comfortable with pets of any age! I am able to provide a range of services for your pets, be it taking energetic dogs on long, high energy walks with lots of play, or providing enriching home activities - whatever your pet may need! I am willing to aid in training for younger pets, although not a professional, I do have some experience, and am able to work with you to support your pet! I am currently working part time at a local pub, with an incredibly flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets! I am currently a student, with plenty of availability to care for your furry friends! You are more than welcome to ask my schedule whilst I am looking after your pets, and I am flexible and willing to meet your needs for the best care possible! I am typically available any day of the week, providing I have no prior commitments, as long as you are able to give me notice, I will be able to move things around to accomodate your schedule! In late September, I will be moving out of the area for University, however I will still have some availability throughout the year when I am back for holidays! I am fit and active, so able to take dogs on long walks if needed! I am fully DBS checked as I have previously worked with vulnerable children. I adore animals of all shapes and sizes, so I’m willing to meet your pets needs! I will always follow a pet and their owner's lead, and will never do anything that has not been previously agreed! (locations for dog walks, what food will be provided, how much time I will spend in your house etc.) I offer dog walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home, in which timings and activities can be agreed in advance!
“Ashleigh was great with Lola, came to meet us before we went away, was available at relatively short notice for us to go away and provided regular updates during visits. Recommend Ashleigh to look after any pet 😊”
About: I have looked after dogs and cats for 3 decades as my pets. I am passionate in keeping them safe, feeding, walking and playing with them. I am free on most days as I work set days as a part time Clinical Nurse Specialist in Cardiology. You can pre booked up to 3 days so I can accommodate you but if urgent, I can negotiate! I have a secured home and garden with fence so your pets are safe. I have a place to fit them in if you want overnight sitting. I can visit home for cat sitting as I drive a car.
About: Hi, I’m Emily — a part‑time Health Care Assistant and second‑year Nursing Apprentice based in Whiteley/Fareham. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have a 7‑month‑old Sprocker Spaniel, Reggie, who has given me plenty of hands‑on experience with puppy behaviour and routines. With two years’ experience as a Health Care Assistant and ongoing nursing training, I’m very comfortable with cleaning, hygiene, and handling any bodily fluids involved in caring for animals. I’m calm, organised, and friendly. I work from home Wednesday to Friday, so I’m consistently available for weekday house visits for both dogs and cats. Monday and Tuesday vary depending on my ward shifts, but I always have reliable mid‑week availability to provide feeding, fresh water, companionship, and check‑ins. During visits, I make sure dogs and cats feel calm and secure. I follow their usual routine, refresh water, manage feeding, and keep litter or toileting areas clean. With my healthcare background, I’m confident handling hygiene and maintaining a tidy environment. I always respect each pet’s boundaries and the owner’s home.
The median cost per Visit for cat sitting in Fareham is £13

Absolutely fantastic service, she was kind when first meeting Poppy who wasn’t to sure at first! From the pictures it looked like Poppy really warmed up to Jennifer and looks relaxed.

Keighley did a great job as always at looking after Pippi while we went away for a week. She made time in her busy set of bookings to come and feed and clean up after Pips for us and kept us updated with consistent communication and photos using the Rover card feature. Voiced her concerns around Pippi not eating as much as expected and afterwards was helpful in adjusting her feeding amounts and instructions without complaint. Reliable as always and much appreciated, thank you! X

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fareham on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 750 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Fareham. About 93% of Fareham 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.
