“Clare is absolutely incredible. Hank loved staying with Clare and Jess, and he was so well looked after that he didn't even realised I'd left!! We will be using Clare regularly as Hank loves her so much.”
“Sally has excellent communication, she is very calm and kind which is what our dogs need. Sally came to meet the dogs before hand as one of our dogs can be difficult. They had a wonderful time with her and didn't even bother getting up to greet us. We have already booked other dates.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I was very happy with Kerry looking after my cat whilst I was away. She sent me pictures every day which was reassuring. I would be very happy for Kerry to look after Sookie again.”
“Flavia is a reliable and trustworthy pet carer. She is calm, confident, kind and playful. She clearly has a real passion for animals and our dog clearly adores her. Flavia has been so helpful to us and gives our dog some much needed attention and extra fun walkies.”
“Ashleigh was really great with Wotsit. She made sure that she knew all his likes and dislikes as well as coming round to meet him before we went away. She is a lovely woman and we will definitely ask her to look after him next time we go away.”
“Sophie has been very prompt and professional and accommodating for me and Reggie. I needed someone to check in on him last minute and Sophie was able and more than willing to help. I was kept informed and sent photos of the drop in. I have booked Sophie again to sit Reggie at the end of August and I know he will be in very good hands which is priceless for an owner. Thankyou Sophie!”
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.
About: I'm a dog magnet, they seem to gravitate to me. I love their company and feel a house is not a home without a dog sitting next to me on the sofa. We lost our elderly dog a month ago and he needed a lot of help as he had serious mobility issues. We have 3 cats who are very affectionate. All the animals get the best possible level of care, we give them everything they need to live a healthy and happy life. We live in a lovely house in a perfect location on a footpath opposite a forest.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I knew what a dog was. I have always dreamed of having my own dog and since bringing home my own pup, I just want to spend time with dogs, be it walking, spending time with, or a bit of training. I am confident with all breeds, behaviours, and energy levels. I love them all I’m currently working full time from home but due to its flexibility (and a long chat with boss man), I am able to commit to dog walks and drop ins during the day. I am fully flexible at weekends I have a fenced garden with a young German shepherd pup. He is crate trained and has plenty of garden space to run around. We do a lot of enrichment and training throughout the day to work his brain, making walks a bonus to burn off a little energy
About: I’m a nurse working bank shifts alongside my passion for animal care. I’ve owned reactive dogs for many years, so I understand the importance of calm handling, patience, routine and being constantly aware of surroundings while out walking. Early 5am quiet walks, off-the-beaten-track trails and avoiding stressful situations for dogs are something I’m very used to. We are a family home with children, so any dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable around children and a normal family environment. I offer gentle, reliable pet care with daily beach walks, peaceful hikes and a focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed and happy. No other animals in the home. We only have one boarding dog at a time unless dogs come from the same house hols. I will be sole care for the dog during its stay. 5:00am – Quiet early morning walk 6:00am – Breakfast and calm rest time 8:00am – Garden play, enrichment or sniff games 10:00am – Beach walk or quiet countryside hike 12:00pm – Rest and nap time in the home 2:00pm – Toilet break and gentle play 4:00pm – Short afternoon walk or enrichment activities 6:00pm – Dinner time 7:00pm – Family time, cuddles and settling for the evening 9:00pm – Final toilet break and bedtime Our home has a fully enclosed garden and is just a 5 minute walk from the beach, perfect for calm daily walks and outdoor time. We are a relaxed family home with children, so dogs staying with us would need to be comfortable in a family environment. Your dog would not be left alone for long periods and would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of company, care, exercise and quiet time to settle and relax.
“Ellie Mae was great. She made a special trip to come and meet me and Stanley my dog before her drop in session. Knowing that she was coming allowed me to relax about having to leave Stanley at home alone.”
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.
“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”

I am happy to accommodate for your dogs needs.

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
We’ve now used Sally twice to look after our cat Peaches while we’ve been away on holiday, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her more. She takes such amazing care of Peaches, always making sure to ask about her routines, favourite toys, and what she likes so she can provide the best care possible. It’s so clear how comfortable Peaches is with her, which gives us huge peace of mind when we’re away. Sally also sends the loveliest photos and updates during every check-in, which always makes us feel relaxed and happy while on holiday. Peaches absolutely adores her, and we’re so grateful to have found someone so caring, reliable, and thoughtful to look after her ❤️
Happily met dogs before. Took in what we said about them, their routine & needs. Dog sat in house for the day. Great communication throughout. Dogs were happy on the day. Routine followed. Done key arrangements as agreed. All great! And happy poochos! Thank you. Would use again.

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 Fareham 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 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.
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.
