“Keighley was great, very easy, comfortable and confident. Great with Ted and our rabbits. We all felt completely at ease with her immediately and she did a wonderful job looking after our pets and home.”
“Suzi seems to have had the best time with Sally. Both were happy when we arrived home after a night away. Suzi has a complex medication regime which Sally managed very well to keep Suzi healthy and happy. I would definitely use Sally again, she was great. Thank you Sally.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets from a very young age and have just recently lost my dog unexpectedly. I’m a friendly and reliable pet lover who really cares for dogs!!! I’m currently working full time from home but often like to go for a walk on my lunch break. I work flexi-time so my schedule is very flexible. I have to be in the office 2/3 times a week but I can do this whichever days suits me best. I have a large fenced back garden with lots of great walks around me. I don’t have a very busy lifestyle so lots of time for attention!!
About: I’ve taken care of a young cat aged 1 and a Rottweiler aged 11. Both at separate times and from a the shortest of 8 days. I have also owned my own pets including my cat aged 1 and a few German Shepard’s throughout childhood into adulthood. Currently unemployed meaning I am available fulltime to look after the pets that need to be cared for which is always a good thing for pet owners Nice big fenced off garden with currently no pets at the home. My cat stays with my ex gf mostly so the house is free of pets
“Aliya and Amir were the completely perfect sitters, they were communicative both before and during the sit. My dog is 'special' in so many ways and they understood and dealt easily with all his quirks. The house was left in a great condition. I wouldn't have even a moments hesitation in inviting them back. Thank you Aliya and Amir.”
“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 😊”
“Olivia was brilliant with Brandy (my very large Carpathian Shepherd) and made me feel very comfortable leaving her. Olivia kept me updated with pics and videos. Very happy and I'll definitely be booking again! 😊”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have several years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and relatives, especially when they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, walking dogs, playtime, basic grooming and keeping pets company. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands. I work from home 2–3 days a week which gives me good flexibility for weekday drop-in visits and walks. On office days, I’m generally available in the mornings and evenings and I’m also happy to take weekend bookings. I’ll always try to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and playtime routine wherever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any routines, feeding instructions and care requirements you provide and make sure doors, gates and windows are kept secure. During walks, dogs will be kept safely on lead unless you specifically tell me otherwise. I also understand that some animals need more space or time to settle so I’ll always introduce them to a new environment calmly and at their own pace.
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.
“Kerry was absolutely fabulous with Rosie. She updated me daily and kept in the know when she has taken her medicine. I came home to a very happy puppy who miss her adventures with Kerry! Will definitely book again and 100% recommend! Thank you! ☺️”
“Sacha was very happy with Lewis who looked after her and our house with no problems what so ever. Lewis is a great guy who’s approach to both Sacha and ourselves was relaxed and professional. We will definitely use him again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“We felt completely relaxed knowing our dog, Brew, was in good hands. Julie was easy to arrange with, communicated well before and during the stay, and was clearly very caring. Brew is already looking forward to having Julie come over again soon.”
“We had the pleasure of having Zuzanna take care of our three dogs over the weekend while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was friendly, professional, and clearly an animal lover. She took the time to get to know our dogs' personalities, their routines, and preferences, which made us feel at ease leaving them behind. Throughout the weekend, Zuzana sent us little updates, along with photos of our dogs enjoying their time. It was so comforting to know they were in such great hands. Our pups are a handful—one's a high-energy pup, another's a bit shy, and the third is a senior with some special needs—but she handled it all with ease and affection. The dogs were calm, happy, and healthy when we returned, which says it all. We truly appreciate how much attention was given to each of their unique needs We highly recommend Zuzanna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter! We’ll definitely be booking again for our future trips. Thank you again!”
“Booked Mea & John last minute for a few hours to look after the 3 pups. Very responsive and came over to meet the dogs beforehand. They loved Mea when she arrived and were happy to have her sit with them for the 4 hours. 2 of the pups are finicky and were absolutely fine with Mea on the night. Communication was great and I would happily use Mea again.”
About: For the past 10 years, I’ve been running a small dog rescue on my own land in Portugal, focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs. Working with volunteers and local charities, we built a cage-free setup where dogs lived as part of a stable social group rather than in kennels. At any given time there were usually around 10 dogs living together. I was the primary caretaker, so managing a group of dogs and keeping things steady was just part of everyday life. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, blind and deaf dogs, dogs with disabilities, dogs recovering from illness, and dogs who have been neglected. Behavioural issues are not a problem for me. My approach is calm, practical, and focused on reading each animal and responding to what they need in the moment. I am compassionate and gentle. As well as dogs, I’ve had cats and chickens my whole life, and I also have experience caring for horses, pigs, goats, and ducks. Animals have been at the centre of my life for many years, and I love caring for them. I’m currently in the UK for a few months while I prepare to get married and relocate back to Europe. I’m staying with friends during this time, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits easily into my routine at the moment, and I’m able to be fully present and reliable with bookings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, and any specific needs. I’m experienced in quickly settling into different homes and maintaining a calm, structured presence. I’m respectful of the space, keep everything secure and clean, and provide clear regular updates. With over 10 years of rescue experience, I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments, including dogs that need patience or close supervision.

“Megan looked after our rather anxious and reactive dog for 10 days during which she also house-sat for us and did a great job on this score, with all pots well watered etc.. Megan is calm, patient and confident with dogs and quickly built up a strong bond with him. Megan sent us regular updates including photos and it was obvious he was having a great time and being looked after by someone who really cared about his wellbeing. Both us and more importantly our dog would be very happy to use Megan again.”

Kerry was fantastic in looking after Archie, our 14 year old Cavalier King Charles who can be quite challenging at times and struggles with the heat! She kept us updated with messages and lovely photos which kept our minds at rest whilst away on a Cruise. She even watered our garden pots in the heatwave! I would thoroughly recommend Kerry and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future. Thank you very much.
Dan and Chance are like best pals and Dan is great sitting for him. Chance is always chilled and we can see how good care Dan has given him. I would not like anyone else to look after my boy Chance. I would never be worried when Chance is looked after by Dan 😊

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 Fareham 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 Fareham 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.
