“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 ☺️”
“Kerry was quick to reply to my initial message, keen to get to know Daisy before I went away, and communicative while I was away. I was sent daily photos, and feel that Daisy was really looked after while I was away. I will definitely book her next time I go away.”
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!!
“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!”
“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!!”
“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 ❤️”
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.
“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!”
“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.”

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.

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.

James was a perfect cat sitter sending us loads of updates and pictures. Many of which made me laugh a lot and added to the general happiness of my holiday! It was really good to know that the cats were getting on well without us there, especially as we had recently moved house. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
5 stars, Kerry was brilliant. Kerry did daily drop-in visits for our cat Columbo while we were away and made the whole thing completely stress-free. We received photos and an update every day, which was lovely and helped us feel more relaxed. Columbo was in great spirits when we got home, clearly well fed and well looked after. Reliable, friendly and obviously loves cats. Extremely happy and would highly recommend.
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!!
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
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.

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.

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.

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.
