“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!”
“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!”
“As always, Sally is so easy to work with when it comes to arranging care for Reggie. Quick prompt responses, arrives promptly and ensures that Reggie has a great time during a drop in. Professional and will of course book up again if she has the availability. Thankyou Sally!”
“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”
“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 😊”
“We are so glad that we found Chelsea! Jasper loves her and she was kind enough to pop in for a meet and greet before the booking was confirmed. She provided photos and information about her visit with Jasper via the Rover app so we had the peace of mind that everything went well. We will rebook for another drop in visit without hesitation. Thank you Chelsea!”
“Ellie it's brilliant sitter, kept me posting all the time and play with my little chihuahua, my boy was very happy, she also bought him his pallets as I was running out of the time before my holiday. Definitely recommend and will use her service again. Thanks a lot”
“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: 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!
About: I grew up with family pets and now I have my own furry family. I absolutely adore dogs and cats. I have 2 cats of my own. I live with my children in elson. I love long walks, in all weathers and I take pride in looking after animals. My children are at school/nursery during the week, except the baby who is with me 24/7. I have dogs that I walk on a regular basis once or twice a week depending on their booking. I am open to being flexible but I do need to work it round my schedule with childcare etc. We have a secure big garden with high fences and a secure gate. Access to the garden is easy as we have a sliding door.
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 currently have my own American Bulldog and at 50kg she's very strong on the lead and often not very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of experience in looking after dogs of all sizes and dealing with challenging behaviours. Dogs have been a part of my family ever since I was a child, I always treat them as that. I am friendly and reliable and will always put your dog first, i will also keep you updated on what they get up to while your away . Thanks for looking hope to meet you and your dog soon . I'm currently working between 8am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday but I'm available every evening and overnight plus weekends if your local mid day drop ins can be available to I'm only available to look after your pet at your own house as my dog doesn't tolerate other animals unfortunately I believe dogs are most comfortable in there own environment anyway if I'm honest.
“Terri is lovely, nothing is too much trouble, Yogi my 11 week old puppy is not good with being left on his own yet. I contacted Terri on the off chance she would be available to come and sit with Yogi at short notice and she was. As soon as Yogi met Terri he'd found another new friend. I would 100% recommend Terri as a home sitter for anyone's pets and look forward to many more reunions with Yogi”

About: For my years experiences workin within welfare I understand the importance of patience, care and affection. I believe this is the foundation that all animals need thrive I run my own gardening and equine maintenance business, meaning I can be flexible to work around yours and your pets needs providing the best care possible.

Kerry was very engaging before providing services, coming over to meet our cats beforehand. She looked after Anakin and Ahsoka wonderfully keeping us up to date with each visit and tending to their needs. Can highly recommend and will hopefully look to use her services again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fareham on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 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 716 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Fareham. About 94% 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.
