“Gentle James is perfect for puppy care. He's also not judgemental if you need dog care for ill health and we were moved by his willingness to jump in at short notice and support the family during a difficult time.”
“Honestly I can’t thank Victoria enough for looking after our Billie whilst we went camping. He was so happy and content when I got home. Victoria has excellent communication and she gave me everyday updates and photos of my sweet boy. Thank you ever so much, and I will be sure to book again on our next adventure ❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had various animals dogs, cats, spiders and snakes all my life, (now a bee keeper), they’re were all very much loved and well cared for, my best friends I’m now retired so I have plenty of time for dog walking, I recently lost my Labrador, I think this will keep me nicely motivated I will look after your pet in your home, they will be safe and loved, and any instructions will be followed to suit their routine
“Couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. I felt totally comfortable leaving Fairy with her, and Fairy clearly loved her too. So caring and reliable , I’d absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Jenni”
About: Hello! I’m Amelie and I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling big, strong breeds as well as smaller dogs too. Daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general care are just part of my normal routine back home and when I’m looking after friends and family dogs. I’m currently at university and i really miss being around dogs day-to-day, which is a big reason as to why I love dog care! I am flexible with timings and extremely reliable, also open to weekly arrangements. I have also volunteered/worked with a puppy training school class twice a week for one summer, where I helped support basic training, socialisation, and good behaviour. This gave me experience working with dogs of different personalities and energy levels.
“Tamsin has been wonderful with Pitchu. She even managed to get my old girl eat out a few treat off her hand and she let her stroke her, which is amazing as she is super shy. Tamsin follows all the instructions you leave her and is super easy going. I would recommend Tamsin anytime and will certainly rebook her. Thanks Tamsin, you’ve been great 😊”
“Hannah was amazing! We asked her to check in on our cats whilst away and she went above and beyond our expectations! She truly cares about animals and always keeps you (the Owner) in the loop. I can not recommend Hannah enough to anyone looking for animal sitting/care. Thanks you Hannah!”
“Megan was fantastic with my 3 furbabies. 2 of them had been unwell before we went away and she was great at communicating how they were and even went out of her way to get some ham to try and encourage them to eat something. 100% recommend and will be rebooking :)”
About: I was born into the house of an animal hoarder, so chances are I've looked after your kind of pet before. You name it I've probably picked up its poop. I've pet sat many times over the years and my clients (and their pets) are all returning customers. I've looked after pets with complex needs, from skin conditions, tooth problems (or no teeth at all) to joint pain or behavioural problems, I can handle it. Only thing is by the time you're back, I will love your pets just as much as you! Depending on the pet's needs, I can come by before and after work (I work 0700-1600) but, if necessary, I can take time off work to stay full time. For these bookings I will require 2 weeks notice. My approach to pet sitting is, if they're naughty or hyper, keep them engaged with play or exercise so they don't make their own fun. Otherwise I tend not to leave the house for too long so I can attend to them when needed. If the pet needs medication, I set alarms for myself. I have a background in social work so I'm pretty hot on medication timings and can update the owner if I have concerns about health decline. All I ask on this is clear instructions. I also tend to clean the house before the owner returns, the last thing people want to do after travelling home is spend all day cleaning so I will make sure that's done to a high standard for you.
About: After recently loosing our beloved family Labrador a few months ago at the ripe old age of 15 our family is missing some little furry companions in the house and whilst we’re not quite ready to get another fur baby we would love to welcome others to join our family for a shortwhile My partner and I have both grown up with dogs and owned our own, we are a family of 4 with 2 young children (4 & 6) who are both use to dogs and cats I work part time but can work from home when sitting or the dog can come to work with us I work part time but can work from home when sitting or the dog can come to work with us - weekends the family are all home We have a fenced garden which is grassed and paved - our house has a large downstairs which is mostly hard floor - plenty of room for a crate if needed
“Hannah has been amazing taking care of our two cats. She has made sure they are happy and stayed a while to give them some company and cuddles. Loved receiving the photos, it really helps to see that happy and being so well looked after. Thank you!”
About: I have always owned dogs, specifically Border collies, Labradors and Boradors which have been beautiful, well-behaved dogs to be around and work with. I currently have a 6 month old Borador puppy called Cody who is also very well behaved and very friendly with children and other dogs of all sizes. I am very active, love the outdoors, and adore taking dogs on lots of different adventures! Despite having a puppy at the moment. I have cared for dogs of all ages and needs and am use to managing different behaviours, temperaments, personalities and needs. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I can work around what you need and when you need it. I currently have a well-trained Borador puppy called Cody who is crate trained and use to a routine. We take him on 3 walks a day. Cody also comes on runs with me as he is very good off lead. However, he is a high energy dog who needs this. I am aware that other dogs do not need this much exercise and can tailor the exercise amount for your dog. We treat the dogs in our home like our family however we are able to keep up with boundaries and training you have set in place.
“Maria was amazing, the dogs loved her and had a great time. It was lovely to be able to leave them for the day knowing they would be well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Maria, we will be in touch when we are next in the area xxx”
About: I have been entrusted many times to take care of pets, including overnight stays and dog walks. I have experience in bathing and washing dogs, and I have taken care of a range of animals, from cats and dogs to bunnies and fish. Growing up with pets myself, I understand the importance of animals in people’s lives and will go out of my way to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I have a part time job as a barista and am currently studying physics at university, so I will have plenty of time throughout the week to take care of any pets. I ensure that I am always in the same room as the pet, never leaving my sight and ensuring they are safe at all times. I keep all food and treats out of reach and sight so they can’t have any access to them. I never get bored of animals so I am completely happy to stay with them at all times. I triple check every door is locked before I leave, additionally I check their food and water multiple times. I always research the type of animal I’m taking care of so I know what they can eat, how much I should be playing with them or taking them out for.

This is my first time using a sitter and Sarah immediately made me feel at ease. She came to visit the cats before we left and you can tell how much she loves what she does. She kept us updated while we were away and I felt very confident that they were in very good hands, I would not hesitate to use Sarah again and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a cat sitter😀
We had a fantastic experience with Hana while we were away for the week. She provided daily drop in visits for our two rescue cats, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave them. Our cats are usually quite shy around new people, but they took to Hana instantly, which says so much about her calm and kind nature. It was such a relief knowing they were comfortable and happy in her care. Hana did an excellent job not only looking after the cats but also keeping their space spotless, everything was immaculate when we returned. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates, which showed the cats enjoying pets and treats and clearly feeling relaxed and content. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hana to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Havant pet parents with similar pet households.

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 Havant 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.

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.
