“I’ve used Victoria twice now to look after my Billie whilst me and the children go away and honestly I wouldn’t use anyone else now. The communication and photos are 10/10 and her and Teddie are just so lovely and kind ❤️”
“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.”
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
About: I've had dogs since i was 14. Since having Bonnie (a westie), I consider any dog under my roof to be considered nothing less than family. Treating every doggo Ive had with trust, safety love and most importantly patience. Dogs give unconditional love and all dog owners should reflect that without question, regardless of breed, size or age! I currently work mon-fri 9-5:30. I am looking for a Evening and weekend dog walk, but my end goal is to be full time dog walker/sitter/trainer. I live in a 3 bed house with a fully closed off back garden which my dog, Snoop has full safe roam of. Its grass and patio and plenty of space for him to play in.
About: I have 9 years experience within veterinary and studied animal management after school. I then volunteered at a dog groomers before moving into care roles. Whilst working within a veterinary team I have gained experience with a range of breeds, temperaments and sizes. I currently work full time with a view to going part time so that I can be available whenever needed for people's furry family members. I am happy to adapt to your pets routine and needs. If they have a routine I will do my absolute best to adhere to this.
“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 😊”
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.
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.
About: As a dog owner and previous cat owner myself, I know our pets are family to us. I would treat yours like my own. I'm in my 50s so have decades of experience with pets, including training. I work from home and have a large garden near Staunton country park and lots of green areas. I would need to meet you and your furry friend before taking the booking so you can inform me on your routine and requirements. I would only take one booking at a time so your pet gets 100% of my attention. I work full time from home and take the weekends off. I am self employed so I am flexible with timings for walks, feeding, toilet breaks, etc. I have a large enclosed garden that is bricked fence and safe. My Cocker Spaniel lives with me. He is very friendly, follows me or sits under my desk. I feed him twice a day and walk regularly. It would be helpful if your dog is dog friendly although I can possibly get a sitter for my dog if yours isn't.
“Maria was fantastic with our very nervous girls and actually managed to get our very fearful cat down for a fuss which is unheard of for any strangers in our house. We great updates with pictures which greatly put our mind at ease, we will definitely be using Maria again :)”
“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: I’ve had a dog in my life since the age of 7 and love dogs :) they bring me joy and happiness in my life. I have handled a border collie cross and black Labrador. I have also looked after two Romanian rescue dogs as well. I don’t mind what the weather would be, if you are happy I will walk your dog to the needs that is required. I am full time worker Monday- Friday and finish most days around 4pm but can also fit in to your schedule as and when you need me to. I am not time restricted at weekends. I will adapt to how you have your home set up to make it easier for your fur babies who will be well looked after and loved.
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: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life! I’ve grown up with two dogs, who I adore with all my heart. Friends have relied on me to care for their dog and cats whilst they have been away, and I have ensured I have looked after their pets with the upmost care! I have a lot of time to help support in you looking after your pets! I am very flexible in the hours I work and therefore can work evenings and weekends if needed. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, and ensure I keep the pet’s routine consistent, whilst also respecting the home. My priority is to ensure the animal feels safe and comfortable when being looked after, and so I give them lots of attention and care.
About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I’ve looked after: 2 Cockapoos – one from a puppy, and one with anxiety-related additional needs (my cockapoos are shared ownership with my ex partner, and if your dog is uncomfortable with other dogs I will always ensure that they are elsewhere!) 3 Syrian hamsters 3 cats – including kittens I’ve helped raise and settle into their new homes In addition to personal experience, I’m a keen researcher in my work from home day job—so you can trust that I’ll always take the time to properly understand and follow your pet’s individual needs and routines. I also have: Experience raising puppies/kittens and helping with early socialisation Regularly participated in dog training (obedience, sniffer work, and rally) to a "gold" standard A calm, patient, and kind approach—especially with nervous or high-energy pets Every animal deserves to be cared for in a way that suits them. I’ll work closely with you to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I’d love to meet your furry family—feel free to get in touch with any questions! All the best, Garth I work full time at a university, however my schedule is completely flexible and I am always able to work from home! I will be willing to work with you on an ad-hoc or regular basis - whatever is best for your companions I currently live in a house with a family friend and their family, which has an enclosed garden. In my space, there is ample room for their crate and food bowls, and I already have toys / Kong's here for their enjoyment! At your house, I am able to ensure your pets maintains their regular routine as much as possible and will fully adhere to your guidance as you'll know what's best for them.

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!

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.

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.
