“James is really understanding to our puppies and families needs. I've been impressed with his willingness to accommodate changes in arrangements. Sweep hadn't seen him for two weeks and was so excited to see James today ☺️”
“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: I have years of experience, from growing up with family pets to having my own dog (seen in the photo). Due to this, I know what is important and required when looking after your beloved pets. I have looked after others pets before (over nights, walks and drop ins) as well as leaving my own dog with walkers and sitters. I will ensure I ask all of the relevant questions about your pet and get to know them before embarking on day care/ walks or drop ins. If you would like your dog to have company and a play companion, I can also bring my own friendly spaniel (Podrick) on walks. Of course, this is optional to you and your pups needs. I will make sure to take lots of photos and videos to send to you along the way. I know what it’s like missing your furry friend! I am in between jobs at the moment and have a free summer so my routine can be very flexible for your pets. With enough notice, I am happy to help. If you require drop in visits and home stays, I will make sure to ask all the relevant questions so that your pet has a high standard of care. I will respect your home and space. I know what it is like having drop in visits due to having had them for my own dog. You can be assured that your home will be respected.
“Harry responded quickly and met Rhino before hand. He was great with my very excitable puppy, photos during visit and good communication before, during and afterwards. Would book Harry again.”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and I have always had a huge love for them. Growing up, we had a lovely rescue Collie x Whippet from when I was 9 years old, which gave me early experience with rescue dogs and the understanding of different temperaments. She had diabetes, and eventually turned blind. I helped out with giving insulin and support. I also fostered a very sweet rescue Pomeranian (mixed breed) for 4 years who was nervous, reactive and possessive when she first came to me. Through patience, consistency and building trust, I made huge progress with her, including her confidence around men and children especially, and we created an incredibly close bond together. I am a naturally calm, gentle and nurturing person, however I am firm when necessary as I believe dogs thrive with clear boundaries, patience and kindness. I’m confident around a variety of personalities and happy with lead walks, off-lead walks (where safe and recall is appropriate), forest walks, road walks and field walks. I also drive a 7 seater and I'm happy for dogs to be in my car. As a mum to two young children aged 4 and 1, safety is extremely important to me. My youngest will be with me in a pram during walks, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable and trustworthy around children and prams. I’m experienced and comfortable around other domestic and non-domestic animals. Your pet would be treated with genuine care, patience and attention as if they were my own 🐾❤️ I have a flexible routine as I am a stay at home mum and I am available for walks and drop-ins during school hours. I enjoy being outdoors daily and can often accommodate different schedules within those times. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would always care for them with patience, kindness and attention. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care. I’m comfortable with lead walks and off-lead walks where safe and approved by the owner. As I may have my youngest child in a pram with me, I only accept dogs which are friendly and comfortable around children and prams. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide company, playtime, feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks and plenty of fuss and reassurance. I will always treat your pet and home with genuine care and respect. I have worked as a domestic carer and cleaner in the past, and this experience has taught me how to be a trusted, respectful presence in a home, ensuring that you feel completely at ease and confident while I am there caring for your pet. Please note, I will have my 1 year old with me unless childcare can be prearranged, please feel free to reach out as this can be worked around.
“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”
“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! My name is Addie. I am a previous owner of a highly rated pet service business, now looking for some additional work on the side, in a field I enjoy. I am canine first aid trained, and understand the everyday needs for all types of animals. Thank you I have plenty of time for caring for pets between Monday - Fridays. Even when my schedule isn’t set in stone I can cater before and after work, and even some weekends. I always ensure an owners house is left in the exact way it was when I arrived. My best efforts go into keeping my work tidy and organised. When pets are in my own home, I always ensure everything is suitable and safe for them. My home is tidy and maintained and perfect for your loved pet.
About: I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities! From playful pups who need guidance and training, to older dogs who just want a slower pace and lots of comfort. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to stick to your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable at home. What makes me different is how much I genuinely care! I don’t just “watch” dogs, I spend quality time with them, making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and completely comfortable. As I’m self-employed as a personal trainer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my working hours around my pet’s needs, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise and care throughout the day. I also have flexibility during the week to accommodate appointments, walks and any other requirements. I care for pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own. I make sure they are fed according to their usual routine, have plenty of fresh water, exercise and attention, and feel comfortable and settled in their environment. When caring for a pet in their owner’s home, I respect their space and routines and make sure the home is kept clean and secure. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or requirements the owner provides.
About: My Experience 🐾 I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, particularly dogs. I’ve had up to four dogs at a time and have been involved in caring for them from a young age. From around the age of 8, I was even involved in helping deliver and care for puppies, which gave me a real understanding of the responsibility and attention animals need. I currently have two Maine Coon cats of my own and have regularly walked dogs for many years. I’ve also had experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, ducks, rats and rabbits. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities and needs, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My experience has taught me to be patient, responsible and attentive, while making sure every pet receives the care, attention and affection they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I regularly make time for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s taking dogs for walks, checking in on cats, or popping in to feed and give pets some attention. I have a flexible routine, so I’m able to work around the needs of different pets and their owners. I’m happy to arrange regular walks or visits as well as one-off bookings, including during weekends or when owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for, while keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, feeding routine and any specific instructions from their owner. For visits to a pet owner’s home, I’m happy to feed pets, refresh their water, give them attention and playtime, let dogs out or take them for walks, and provide plenty of fuss and company. I’ll also keep their space clean and tidy and can send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own and always prioritise their safety, happiness and wellbeing.
“Anna saved our bacon at short notice, and, lucky for us, is a great sitter! She came in reliably twice a day, sent super cute updates (whilst checking that I didn't want left alone!), and spent proper time bonding with Maggie. Maggie has been stressed in the past when we've left her, but was grand this time round. We'll definitely use Anna again 😺”
“Excellent service as expected, brilliant sitter,went above and beyond, kept the cats engaged with treats and playtime. Would totally recommend Victoria to sit for your furry ones,thankyou.”
“First time I have used Teresa and she was excellent, she took really good care of my cat Rosie, fed her, played with her and left a clean and tidy litter tray. Would highly recommend her. It is so reassuring when away that you can relax and know your pets are being well looked after”
About: I have been a dog lover since a child. I have always grown up surrounded by dogs. I am super passionate about looking after dogs and ensuring they are cared for like humans. I can be flexible around your pet’s needs and am happy to adapt to their usual routine. Morning and evening feeds and walks are already part of my daily routine, and I’m more than happy to give your pets plenty of attention, cuddles and playtime throughout the day. 🐶💕 Having grown up with Teddy and caring for him for the past 9 years, I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, happy and comfortable. It’s really important to me to provide a safe, healthy and loving environment for your pets, treating them with the same care and attention I would want for Teddy. ❤️🐶
About: I've had dogs since I was 14. We had a out first dog, a westie called Bonnie who came on all of our camping trips and Sunday hikes. We gave her as much love and attention as we could throughout her life. Since then we have has different breeds of dogs within our family and have learnt so much about them overs the years, including basic training and learning their personality traits. I have recently quit my technical job in order to become a full time dogwalker/trainer and hope to be able to train shelter dogs in order to be rehomed. I am a full time self employed dog walker, currently accepting bookings mon-friday 8am - 6pm. I have my own car and can travel within 5 miles of Havant. I will try and stay local with dogs if I can. Or drive to a nearby forest/field to allow the dog, the exercise and enrichment they need. With home visits, I'll firstly greet the dog, check food and water levels and allow wee break straight away, whether its in a garden or an outside walk. If food is low, i will replace according to owner instructions. If water low or dirty, I'll clean the bowl and refill.
“Over all really good service, communication before the service was a tad hit and miss, but James certainly made up for it when we met him and with his great reports. He was very nice and the cat loved him! They seem to had a great time! Thanks James”
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 couple we both have years of experience with dogs, both in and outside of our own home. Holly has been a professional dog walker, handling up to 6 dogs a time of all varied sizes and breeds. Jasper has also joined Holly on these ventures from time to time outside of his full-time working from home role. We have experience having dogs for day-care and boarding over the past few years and love having that extra company in our home. We own our 6 year old show cocker spaniel Roscoe who loves some company from other dogs as he can play with them and show them some exciting walks in the local area. We live in a ground floor flat with a huge garden - it's a doggys paradise in there! We even have a paddling pool for them to swim in during the summer. We treat dogs like a part of the family and make sure they're always fussed with lots of cuddles, treats and playtime. We're not precious about where they decide to sit but our only rule is no dogs in the bed at night-time (Roscoe might get a bit jealous). We look forward to looking after your four-legged best friend. Holly works from home as a freelance Interior Designer and an active part-time dog walker. Jasper works from home full-time. There will always be someone home to look after your pet and give them attention. We have a fully fenced huge garden and no back-access gate, so fully secure at all times. We have our 6 year old cocker spaniel Roscoe to keep them company and show them the ropes. We are happy to have your dog crated if this is a preference and can provide the crates too.

My cats are always waiting for Vikki, they know and trust as do I , will be booking again soon . Regarding taking my payment when I book I don’t agree with especially if it is months before the booking so holding my money without the service being delivered maybe a deposit is a better idea ! this is not Vikki’s doing it is the new Rover platform plus an admin fee ! It’s getting very pricey
First time I have used Teresa and she was excellent, she took really good care of my cat Rosie, fed her, played with her and left a clean and tidy litter tray. Would highly recommend her. It is so reassuring when away that you can relax and know your pets are being well looked after
Bethany looked after our two cats whilst we were away. She spent time with our cats on each visit, giving them cuddles as well as feeding them/changing litter etc… Bethany also kept us updated with pics & messages, so we knew our furry friends were in great hands. We’re really happy and would 100% book Bethany again.
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 😊

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. 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 Havant 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.

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.

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.
