“Leah took wonderful care of our dog. We were nervous having never used Rover or having a dog sitter before. Leah is professional, kind and caring. She sent several updates with photos. She is also thorough and reaches out with any questions that come up. The best part was coming home to a very happy and loved dog. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our pup while we were away. Would highly recommend.”

“Bonnie was an incredible pet sitter. She communicated with us throughout our vacation and took exceptional care of our dog, cats and home. We will definitely be booking her again. It can be a challenge to find a person who cares for your animals the way you do, Bonnie is a gift!”

“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“Left last minute for a sea cruise, and Monica was available and ready to help watch Champ, so truly grateful for her dedication. Monica is a good sitter and loves being around animals very much. Very good with small senior dogs which was exactly what I was looking for! Got every other day check-ins with Champ with photos when the boat was island docked. Timing and coordination went well with pick ups and drops offs too. Champ came home, happy, healthy and refreshed! Monica is a very sweet, hard working sitter, Super chill, kind, grateful and cares with her whole heart. Definitely recommend and would use her services again. Thanks for watching My old boy, Champ!”

About: Over 2 years working at Puddleby on the Hill boarding kennel Lifelong dog and cat owner Experience with puppies, senior pets, and high-energy dogs Comfortable with large and small breeds Familiar with administering oral medications Experience handling multiple dogs safely Strong understanding of pet routines and behavior I'm a teacher, so my summers are very flexible and ideal for pet care. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I enjoy being active outdoors. During the school year, I'm generally available evenings, weekends, and school vacations. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. In a client's home, I do my best to keep pets on their normal schedule and make sure they have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and affection. During walks, I stay alert to the environment, use secure leash handling, and prioritize your pet's safety at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Abigail watched my two pups for the first time and was able to win over my skiddish dog who typically takes a while to warm up to people. She was prompt with replies and even walked the dogs!”

“I had to go out of town for a few days and needed a boarding kennel for my 70lb lab. My kennel that I have used previously closed down operations so I needed to find someplace new. I couldn't find any place I liked so I started searching online for someone to care for my dog at their home. That is how I discovered Rover. I found Charles on Rover and rather than keeping my dog at his home he offered to come stay at my home. Which for me was the best possible outcome. It worked out great. Charles was very respectful of my home and my dog liked him. If I have to board my dog again, Charles will be my first choice. I highly recommend him.”

“Amanda did such a great job taking care of our 3 rescue pitties! We have one puppy and two seniors, each with their own unique traits and needs. Amanda did a phenomenal job at accommodating their needs and keeping them comfy at home while we were away. We appreciate her attentiveness to detail and her communication skills. We will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her for taking care of your babies!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have been helping family and friends care for their pets for years. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, baths, and lots of attention and affection. Spending time with dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, so I follow care instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I am a law student at UNH with classes in the morning and late afternoon. I am free mid-days and in the evenings, and am free every weekend. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions and keep a calm, clean environment. During walks, I stay alert and use secure leashing at all times. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep doors, gates, and food stored safely. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!”
“Sidne is an absolute gem! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in taking care of our home and pets. She made sure to meet with us beforehand to get to know our animals, which really put us at ease. During our time away, Sidne sent daily updates with pictures of our pets, which we absolutely loved. It was clear that our pets were not just being looked after, but truly cared for. Sidne also kept our house spotless, took care of packages, and made sure everything was in order when we returned. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and thoughtful. We couldn't be happier with her service and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Jazmin was fantastic. She took great care of our house and made sure our two senior dogs were well cared for and loved for the week. We came home to happy dogs and a well-kept home. Highly recommend, and will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

“Andrea did a house sit for our 2 cats for 3 nights after a quick meet & greet. I could tell right away from the meet & greet that she knew her way around cats and that my cats felt at ease around her. She was so great and we felt relaxed and at ease on vacation knowing she was with them. She was able to give our 14 year old cat her medicine, which is not the easiest thing, without issue. She followed all the instructions and sent us some really great pics of our kitties. We will definitely be re-booking and as frequent travelers having a trusted long-term sitter that gets to know our house and cats is very important to us so we are beyond happy to have met Andrea!”

“Heidi watched our 5 dogs while we were out of the country and I can’t rave enough! I was super anxious, but Heidi put my mind at ease and was always very communicative. Heidi is a true animal person and it shows. 5 stars from both my pups and I! We will definitely be using Heidi again for all future trips.”


About: Our family has been taking care of our own dogs as well as others for over 20 years. We are a loving family with a large private yard. And...Petey and Moxie love to play with other dogs! About this sitter: I have been working with dogs in various aspects of the pet care industry since I was a teenager. My primary focus is on Obedience Training and I specialize in providing personal professional care for your beloved pets. We treat them like family because after all they are family. Why I love dog sitting I grew up surrounded by the love of pets, we had dogs, cats, horses and a variety of other small pets.

My love for dogs is a core part of what makes me who I am. Meet my pets Petey, Moxie & Lola About my yard I have a large grassy yard and for now I have a 16 x 16 foot dog yard for fresh air and potty breaks but that will be added on to as soon as the yard is dry enough to add more fencing. My dog yard and the future space will have 6ft fences which are necessary to provide the best security for all dogs. My experience administering medication Yes. I can administer any medications your dog may need including injections.
“Zachary was very responsive and was flexible working with me to nail down a schedule that worked for both our availability. I so appreciated his help watching Winnie when my flight was significantly delayed - he was happy to come back and I was so grateful that she was cared for when I couldn’t get home on time. He cleaned up before leaving and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend Zachary to take care of your dog. Winnie seemed very happy with the care he provided. Thanks!”

“Heidi had great communication throughout our trip with both daily texts and photos of our fur babies. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our dog and cat for a whole week but Heidi took great care of them and the consistent updates kept my mind at ease!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Chichester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 712 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chichester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chichester walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chichester maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Chichester choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
