“Kim was super helpful and friendly, plus she managed to befriend my cat Jackie who isn't usually a fan of strangers/humans in general! Was great to get daily pictures on the check-in visits. 5/5”
“Molly took excellent care of our cat Fudge, visiting twice a day when we were on holiday. She clearly made a real effort to get to know him, going above and beyond what was expected to make sure he was happy and well looked after. We are very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Molly to come back again - Fudge will be looking forward to it! ?”
About: Hi, I’m Daniel — a compassionate and reliable pet sitter based in Southampton. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats and small pets, and they’ve always been a huge source of joy for me. There’s something special about being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I’ve looked after pets for friends, family and colleagues, including dogs, cats and rabbits. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs a good walk, a nervous pet who needs patience, or a senior animal who needs a gentler approach, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m naturally calm, attentive and caring, but also playful when the situation calls for it. I genuinely love what I do, and nothing beats seeing a pet relaxed, happy and thriving in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work from home most of the week, which gives me good flexibility during the day. I’m typically available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends, and I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks or check-ins to make sure pets get consistent care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I can also adapt to different routines, whether that’s morning visits, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise keeping their routine and environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, from feeding and walks to any specific behaviours or needs, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean and tidy, and ensure doors, gates and any safety measures are properly managed at all times. I stay attentive to each pet’s behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m always prepared to respond calmly if anything unexpected arises. I also keep owners updated regularly, so they can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.
“Fantastic sitter, lovely person feel totally confident and happy leaving our special boy in her hands highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind compassionate understanding carer”
“Jasmine watched our two kitties for a week and did an amazing job, as we received daily updates with photos. I was so relieved to see they really liked and trusted her, as one of them is quite scared and usually doesn't come out for strangers. I could tell she did some cleaning, as well, which was greatly appreciated.”
“I was very happy with Kerry looking after my cat whilst I was away. She sent me pictures every day which was reassuring. I would be very happy for Kerry to look after Sookie again.”
“Hilary looked after our cat David, popping in regularly to feed and play with him. We've never had a cat sitter before, she was very reassuring on meeting her and kept us informed and updated during the week.”
About: Hi! I am 23, I am based in Hedge End with my partner and 2 girls (cats!) They are 2 years old and 10 years old. I have had cats since I was very young and cared for all ages. I strongly believe every animal deserves to be treated with respect and loved, if you have a different type of pet, I am happy to help with that too!
“Carol was great with the cats who are both rescues and can be quite timid. They really took to her and let her stroke them. She is reliable and trustworthy and took great care of them. She was lovely and came for a visit beforehand too to meet them. Great communication.”
About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 15. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets as if they were their own. Growing up, my family always had 2-3 dogs in the house, so I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including Vizslas, Spaniels, Dachshunds, Hounds, Poodles, Labradors, Great Danes, Bichons, and many mixed breeds, all with different temperaments and needs. I also grew up with 2 cats in the home, and I feel very comfortable caring for cats as well! I have experience caring for everything from brand new puppies to elderly dogs with sight and hearing difficulties, so I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort. I’m patient, attentive, and confident with dogs who may need extra reassurance, gentle handling, or a little more time to feel settled. As I’ve become an adult, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need pet sitting, dog walking, or general care. Dogs usually take to me very naturally, and I’m a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. In my early 20s, my aunt started her own dog boarding and walking business and mentored me, which gave me even more hands-on experience with professional pet care, routines, safety, and making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Whether you need walks, drop in visits, or sitting, I’ll care for your pet with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my priority. I live in Otterbourne (10 min from the center of Winchester), where there are lots of walking trails and pet friendly spaces. I also have a large garden behind my flat! For the first time in a long time, I don't currently have any pets of my own. I live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath flat with my husband (also a massive animal lover!). Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because I work around 20 hours per week remotely and set my own schedule. This means I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day, evenings, and weekends to give your pet the time, attention, and care they need. For boarding, I’ll be home often and able to spend plenty of time with your pet, whether that means taking them for walks, playing with them, keeping them company, or helping them feel comfortable and settled in a new environment. I know how important routine and reassurance can be, so I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. For dog walking, drop-in visits, and check-ins, I’m also very flexible and happy to come to your home at a time that works best for you and your pet. I would love to build a trusting relationship with your pet over time, so they feel happy, comfortable, and excited to see me whenever I visit. In my home, I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm and welcoming environment. My flat is very spacious, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a large sitting room, an office, and a kitchen, so there is plenty of room for your pet to relax, play, and settle in comfortably. I only allow 1 pet for care at a time so I can make sure they get the appropriate attentiveness and care they need. I also have a large garden outside, which is great for supervised fresh air, playtime, and toilet breaks, as well as lots of lovely walking trails and pathways around Otterbourne for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I also have a car, so if you are happy for me to do so, I can take your dog to nearby parks or open spaces for a change of scenery and extra exercise. I will always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any specific instructions you provide. In a pet owner’s home, I will be respectful of both your pet and your space. I’ll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, receives plenty of attention, and feels safe and secure while you are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, litter care, clean-ups, check-ins, and regular updates so you can feel reassured that your pet is in good hands.
“Jane has been fantastic with our 7 month old puppy, Merlin. She has been very understanding and attentive of Merlin's needs and behaviours as an adolescent puppy and looked after him really well. She was very knowledgable and experienced. She took time to listen to us about Merlin’s care and has followed what we said. Merlin was very happy and I would definitely recommend Jane for any pet care as she has done a great job with Merlin, thank you Jane ☺️”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for a wide range of breeds, from Labradors and German Shepherds to Mastiffs, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Staffie crosses. I have owned both male and female dogs and have experience managing multiple dogs at once, including caring for three female dogs together, balancing their individual needs, routines, and personalities while ensuring a calm and structured environment. I currently have a male French Bulldog puppy, Bugs, with my partner. Together, we have enjoyed plenty of adventures such as beaches, woodlands, and botanical gardens, while also focusing on training, including basic commands, potty training, and crate training. I am more than happy to support your dog or puppy with training routines to keep things consistent. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds over 50kg. Because of this, I am confident in reading dog behaviour and body language, allowing me to tailor care to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I always prioritise a stress free environment and can choose quieter walking routes if your dog prefers to avoid social interactions. I also have experience administering medication, including caring for my own dog during gastroenteritis, so I am comfortable supporting dogs with additional care needs. I have access to my own car, which allows me to be flexible for transport, emergencies, or last minute bookings when available. Please let me know about your dog’s temperament, any reactivity to other dogs, or any special requirements during booking. I am happy to accommodate and ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently work part time, usually Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me flexibility throughout the rest of the week. I am available for walks and drop ins around five days a week and can often accommodate different times. I always aim to be as flexible as possible, so please feel free to message me to discuss your needs and I will do my best to accomodate this (can possibly swap days at work if I am able to). Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large garden that is fenced at the back and sides, and I always supervise dogs closely when outside. I currently have a young puppy at home, so I am very mindful of creating a calm and controlled environment, with careful introductions depending on your pets temperament. I am experienced in reading pet behaviour and will always ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. For dogs: I can provide crate support if needed and will follow your dog’s routine closely to keep them relaxed and well cared for.

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.

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
