“Michelle was so attentive and communicative as she looked after Theo. We received regular updates - all with Theo living his best life!! We felt safe leaving him in Michelle’s capable hands, and he seemed to absolutely love his time with her. Thanks so much Michelle”


“Cian was amazing with Holmes. He took time to meet Holmes (and me) prior to the sit giving Holmes time to get to know him and warm up quickly. He was a great communicator and sent updates and photos throughout the sit. I would highly recommend Cian.”

“Keighley recently looked after my two dogs for the day. We met before hand and they both took to her straight away. I also asked if she could take them to the local paddock which Keighley was happy to do. She updated me through the day and included photos which was lovely. Will definitely be booking Keighley again! Thank you for taking great care of my girls!”

“Michelle was the best dog sitter we could have hoped for. Our doggos loved her and were well looked after with lots of walkies, and our home was well kept. Our neighbours even commented on how lovely Michelle was! We got regular updates and photos of our dogs and she stuck to their routine. We would definitely recommend using Michelle and we're hoping to us her again for next May half term!”

“Caitlin was wonderful with Casper - you can tell she really loves dogs and as soon as she arrived there was a lovely bond between them. She’s also very personable, and I had no worries leaving Casper in her care! We’ll definitely be booking Caitlin again.”


About: I have had animals my whole life. I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times. All shapes and sizes from Rottweiler to sausage dogs. I have always been a caring loving person with my previous jobs being in childcare. I’ve looked after kittens from birth and supported my cat throughout end of life care. I’ve looked after a cat with diabetes that need daily insulin injected. I have been working at Chester’s dog walking company but have some free slots each week. I love walking dogs from all different background. I enjoy the pets visits providing stimulating play. I’m a mum of three Sen beautiful children and I fit my dog walking and pet sitting around them. My husband is flexible when I’m needed to do extra. I love my days with my dog and others at the beach park or woods. I also work at Chester’s dog walking with I love so much but I have few daily slots so can fill. I have a warm loving home with two cats my puppy and three rescued guinea pigs. I have a small but secure garden with lots of access to parks
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dog owner myself, so I truly understand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need. I have a beagle of my own and hands-on experience working on training skills such as leash manners, basic commands, and reinforcing positive behaviours. Beagles can be curious, stubborn, and scent-driven, so I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need calm, patient guidance and extra attention on walks. I’m a caring, reliable sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, routines, and personalities—whether that’s supporting training, providing gentle care, or simply making sure they feel safe and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule as I’m currently not working and have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dog and household, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and unrushed care. I enjoy having the time to focus on each pet’s needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, exercised, and well looked after. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or theirs. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, walk preferences, and any special needs, and I provide plenty of attention, patience, and reassurance. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, well exercised, and cared for—just as they would be at home. I do not take other pets in my own home.
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.
“Samantha was a star 🌟 , she was amazing and my westies loved her , had updates and pictures throughout the day , and came back to 2 tired out dogs . Will definitely book Samantha again x”

“Well what can I say? I knew the moment that I met Julie she would be the perfect sitter for Sonny. Julie went above and beyond to meet our needs and treated Sonny like her own. Whilst we were away, Julie provided lots of updates ( With endless walks, fun and snuggles, Sonny was incredibly spoilt!!) I cannot recommend Julie enough. Thank you so much”

About: I've had dogs in my life from our Pointer when I was a child to more recently my Labrador who is no longer with us. My partner has a Shih Tzu and we share looking after her as we live in separate houses. I work mornings from home and every afternoon walk along the seafront where I live, so why not walk with a dog? I'm also very close to Southsea Common and enjoy walking there as well. I can either pick up your dog or it can be dropped off depending on the time. I have a walled garden and a house with no carpet on the ground floor - which comes in handy for any accidents! I live on my own but could only house sit at weekends as I work every morning.
“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: Me and my partner Ben, 25 & 28 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 free time in the days and weekends, one of us can always be home, and we have so much free time for 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 walk nearby. The gates to the garden are padlocked, and the house is alarmed.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gosport is £36
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Gosport
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.
Laura was fantastic when she recently looked after our rescue dog Alma for the day at short notice. She gave us regular updates and photos, left our house clean and tidy, and Alma was happy and comfortable. Would fully recommend Laura and use her services again ☺️

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.
