“Rhea sat with our gentle giant labrador for the day. Rhea met Yogi prior to the stay and was just such a lovely lady with a gentle nature that i knew straight away Yogi would like her and be safe whilst we enjoyed a whole day out which does not happen often! Yogi was completely relaxed when we returned and Rhea had taken Yogi out for a walk and followed his feeding regime. Yogi has arthritis and we don't tend to leave him for long so it was lovely to have the opportunity of a day out and we will be planning another one shortly :)”
“Both Michelle & Phil are fantastic sitters. They not only looked after our pets with kindness & love but looked after our home with such care that it was tidier than how we left it. I cannot recommend them enough. Two very lovely people. You know when your dog is missing them once you are back. X”
“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.”
“Keighley is an absolute superstar sitter! She took such good care of our labrador Poppy and cat Indy while we were away for two nights, and she managed Poppy's bounciness expertly. Keighley arrived right on time and took onboard all our instructions, and is a complete natural with both dogs and cats...both our furballs loved her and settled really quickly with her. We were kept regularly updated on how they were doing, and received lots of fantastic photos. She also took great care of our home and left it immaculate, even leaving a little gift bag of treats for the pups which was a lovely touch. We will definitely be using Keighley as a sitter again as know that our pups and our home will be in really safe hands. We 100% recommend her 🙂”
“Megan is an absolute dog whisperer and a brilliant house sitter. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Our dogs don’t always take to people too quickly but they absolutely adored Megan and were a little disappointed when we came home. She treated them like they were her own and would send funny updates and pictures during the stay. She got to know their quirks and made sure they were loved and entertained - even ensuring they stayed cool and calm in the extreme heat we’ve been having. Megan also left the house absolutely spotless (despite my incredibly moulty dogs) and very kindly did the laundry. Thank you Megan!”
About: I have moved to Portsmouth from NZ and here for my husband's job. Unfortunately, we had to leave our dog Remy in NZ with family. He is a 5 year old schnauzer. I love animals, I'm reliable, friendly and great with small/medium sized dogs. Happy to help with regular walks or the occasional extra hand and dog sitting. As I work part-time, I make sure I’m not working on days I care for a dog, so they receive lots of attention and companionship. Your dog will join me for morning and evening walks. If I need to pop out for groceries or errands, your dog will be safely left in their crate. At night, they’ll sleep in their crate in my room, so they won’t be alone overnight — and I’ll be right nearby. I provide attentive and responsible pet care in my apartment. Dogs are always kept on a lead during walks, and I take them out for morning and evening walks to ensure they get enough exercise and fresh air. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I miss having a dog around, I’ll happily soak up all the tail wags, walks, and puppy love your dog has to offer.
“Sam was amazing with Hunter, the daily pictures and updates on walks and snuggles showed that. So glad we have found Sam, will definitely recommend and will book again to look after Hunter”
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 lots of free time in the weekdays and weekends, one of us can always be at home, and we have time for loads of 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 range of walks nearby, grassy woods and beach. The gates to the garden are padlocked, and the house is alarmed and camera monitored.
“A very punctual and pleasant chap. The dogs took to him immediately and spent a relaxed evening with Daniel... cuddling on the sofa according to photo evidence!!! We hope to book Daniel again next year should we revisit this area.”
About: I work in aviation and have lived all over the UK and now settled in Southsea. I am a keen mountaineer, climber & surfer, and enjoy travelling around the UK & Europe for climbing adventures. My wife & I have 2 cats of my own (moggy sisters) who love to entertain us as much as we like to entertain them.
About: Hi, I'm Kimberley! I've lived with cats ever since I was born which means I've grown up knowing how to care for them. I work as part of a civil service and my schedule is fairly flexible. I also have a valid DBS. My cat is called Eva and she's a 13 year old sassy tortie! I've had her since she was rescued as a kitten and my mum has her brother. In my spare time I love reading, crafts and journalling! I work full-time so my availability is mostly weekends when I am available to spend all day with your pet or drop-in visits on weekdays. Let me know what your pet needs and I can make it work! E.g. if your pet needs a certain amount of exercise, or sticking to a set routine, that's not a problem.
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
About: I have had dogs around me since I was a child. I have experience with small dogs as well as larger dogs. I have the most experience with larger dogs such as Border Collies, Labradors and Foxhounds. I am currently self employed, working as a security guard. I have a lot of notice when it comes to security shifts so can always prioritise work with your animals. My cats are indoor cats. So I have various cat trees and toys that they play with on a daily basis. I am comfortable with giving flea treatments as well as rewarding them with treats.
“Gypsie was great again, her communication is exceptional and her care towards our puppy is amazing we thoroughly recommend her 💯 We can't wait for our Athena to be sat again by her 🐕🦺🐾”
“Carole has been amazing with our pup Elsa She took great care of Elsa when we were not there and sent us plenty of updates She is a very responsible pet sitter who understands your pup's needs Very well. Must recommend for your pup.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and miss having my own, so I absolutely love looking after other people’s pets. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and even rabbits—mostly for friends, family, and my own over the years. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding time, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to help however I can. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I’m also happy to offer overnight care or stay at your home if needed. Weekends are fully open, and I’m more than happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. Just let me know what works best for you. I always treat pets with the same love and care I’d give my own. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, or house rules you provide, and I make sure they feel calm, cared for, and never alone. I’m tidy, respectful, and keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands.

Rhea helped us last minute after a pre-arranged sitter cancelled 2 days before. She couldn’t have been more helpful and focused on ensuring the dogs felt comfortable. She sent regular updates and photos. The dogs were really happy. It was lovely to go away and know my dogs were happy and well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend Rhea.
Chloe was an absolute star. She kept in touch with us, checking best course of action when our dog wouldn’t eat and suggested tricks failed, but also just generally to let us know all was well and send the odd photo or two. On our return the house was lovely and tidy and it was obvious that the animals had been well loved. This was our second time of using Chloe and we will use her again, work permitting.

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 Gosport 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 Gosport 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.
