“Monica was great! Zephyr is a 2.5 year old rescue that I have had for a year. In that time she has become a "one man dog" and leaving her for the first time I had concerns about her allowing a stranger to come into the house when I wasn't there. Monica's love for animals showed through and Zephyr fell in love with her almost immediately! Communication was outstanding and the house and Zephyr were in tip-top shape upon my return. Monica will definitely be "go to " sitter in the future. I highly recommend her!”
“Bonnie was amazing!!! We were in such a bind and reached out to her the night before a four day, three night trip. We would not have been able to go if it wasn’t for her. She stayed at our home and cared for our three animals. She treated our house and things with respect, sent us daily updates with pictures of the animals, and was reliable and communicative. She was professional, friendly, and the dogs and cat loved her immediately. I will not hesitate to use her services in the future. Thank you Bonnie!!!!”
About: I had a pet dog growing up, and I have frequently dog-sat for my parents. I now find myself under employed and looking to make some extra money while spending time with dogs! I'm currently working part-time, with the option to work from home, so I am extremely flexible. I live in downtown Concord within walking distance of 3 parks, so near constant access to the outdoors is a bonus! I live in an apartment that allows dogs of all sizes and breeds. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do live on the ground floor and have a lead attached to my deck for when I'm hanging out on the deck I also have a pet cat, so ant dog staying in the house would need to be cat savy.
About: I have experience working with dogs small-large and have taken ~2 years of dog training classes for my own dog. Experienced dog walker and now available for boarding. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a part‑time student with no outside employment, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each dog I care for. Whether your pet stays in my home or I come to yours, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m already active with my own dog, so incorporating additional walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I have a secure dog run in the yard for outdoor playtime and potty breaks, and I keep an extra crate available if a dog prefers or requires one. Dogs are welcome on the couch, and there are multiple dog beds throughout the house for cozy resting spots. My own dog is well‑trained and friendly with other social dogs, but I can easily separate pets into different areas of the home if that’s the best setup for their comfort. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I treat every pet with the same attention, love, and care I give my own.
About: Hello! I have taken care of my own, family, and friends' animals for over 15 years and those in the community going on five years. I've worked with most breeds and ages. Size does not matter whether your best friend is 5Ibs or 150Ibs! I have a flexible schedule and can work with you on times. Whether it's walking, visits and feeding or all of the above I'm happy to help. I have experience with senior dogs and their sometimes more complex needs, including medical. For all services I require a meet and greet first. For house sitting, I don't do over nights but can be there very early and/or late and happy to work from your home and give your dog(s) as much interaction and breaks they need. For daycare in my home, I require a meet and greet with my dogs, preferably on neutral ground such as a local park, or my yard if needed. Dogs are just like humans, sometimes they're best friends sometimes they aren't and my number one priority is the safety of all animals. Dogs need to be okay with kids. My children are very respectful and I've taught them from a young age how to interact with dogs and read their body language, and give them space. But I know not all dogs have had positive experiences with kids. Don't worry about size or puppy rambunctiousness- they are used to that! I have extra crates if needed or prefered. I don't do off leash, your dog may be great off leash and have awesome recall, but I'm a new person and your dog might be anxious or just not as focused with someone new. Again my priority is safety, after all this is your best friend and family member! I have ground tethers that give them a large range to free roam, explore and play. I also use 30ft leads for fun walks in woods or local hiking trails. Feel free to ask about cats too! I love cats and am first and foremost a crazy cat lady. I've sat for all ages and levels of feline pickiness. I've done meds, including injections for kitties too. I work from home and as a result have a flexible schedule. I take time out of my day regularily to walk, play and be with our dogs and yours, it's a great way for me to break up my day and get to know the great dogs in the community. When caring for your pets I take great care to be respectful of your space, only going where I need to for your animals. I make a point to clean any pet mess and ensure they are secure before leaving.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sonya provided while we were away! She took amazing care of our dog, giving him lots of love, attention, and exercise, and it was clear he was very comfortable and happy in her hands. Our home was spotless when we returned. Sonya kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is responsible, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime!”
About: Hi! I’m Sammy, and I would love to hang out with your pets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I raised everything from a guinea pig to a cat and two wonderful dogs, so I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals, they're family. I’ve been pet-sitting and walking dogs for over 9 years, starting in high school. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs a solid outdoor run, a leisurely neighborhood stroll, or a cat who just wants a cozy companion and mealtime company, I’m your person. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I take pride in giving every pet the exact mix of fun, care, and attention they need. I’m also happy to host your dog in my own home! Whether you need drop-in visits, a fun walk, or a cozy home away from home where your pup can relax and get constant love while you're away, I've got you covered. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands, and you can definitely expect plenty of photo updates along the way! I can’t wait to meet your furry (or squeaky!) best friends. I’m currently a law student with an extremely flexible schedule! My classes are spaced out so that I'm never gone for more than 4 hours at a time, giving me plenty of free time during the day and evening to devote to your pets. I am more than happy to host dogs in my own home, offering a safe, comfortable, and cozy spot where they can hang out and get constant love while you're away. I live in a pet-friendly duplex situated in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with low traffic, wide sidewalks, and great routes for peaceful daily walks. My home is clean, secure, and fully set up to give your pet a safe, cozy space to relax without hazards. Because I’m never away for long stretches, I am able to closely monitor visiting pets, keep a structured routine, and give them the attentive care they deserve.
“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”
“We loved having Sophia stay with our pups! We threw a bit of a scheduling curveball her way and she was so thorough in making sure she was there for our girls when they needed her. She kept me updated on all their activities and sent along pictures as well. Would 100% recommend Sophia and will use her again in the future!”
“Betsy provided great care for our girl! Communication before booking, during our meet & greet, and weekend away was excellent - and loved the photos of our girl throughout the time we were gone. Rita requires a little extra care, as she is in a wheelchair, and we were glad to have Betsy!”
About: I always had a family dog, but since getting my own dog, I've learned how train inside and outside of the house. I love doing activities based on the dogs breed. I have experience house sitting for two senior dogs. I also have experience doing drop-in visits. My current job allows me to accommodate dog visits and dog walks. There is no boarding at my home. I am accommodating, just reach out! I live in an apartment complex that is dog-friendly, and I do a lot of outings with my dog to different parks, trails, etc. The current care I provide for the two senior dogs I visit is feeding, letting them out in the backyard, and administering medicine.
“Andrea was great with our boys!! She shared photos regularly and was communicative about her timing and any questions upon arrival. We would love to have her sit for the boys again!”
“We were so happy with Kimberly! She stayed at our home for a week and took great care of our dog and cat. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica really helped me out of a bind. She offered to com to my home to meet Zoey at 9 pm the night before a trip when another sitter flaked out on me. She stayed at my home and everything was in place when I arrived home. Would definitely use her again!”
About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!
About: I am dependable, caring, considerate, and have great communication. I will treat your home and your fur baby with the utmost respect and care as I take pride in doing so. There should be no worries when I am caring for your baby! I am a stay at home mom with an extremely flexible schedule. I can work to you and your cat or dogs needs! I am available on short notice as well. When in a clients home, I treat it as I would want them to treat mine. I am quiet, respectful, follow all house rules, and stay in designated areas.
About: My experience spans from all age ranges dogs. I have spent time with young puppies still learning to sit and be comfortable on the leash to older dogs that need a little help with stairs. My schedule is pretty flexible but might change in the near future. I'm available anytime throughout the week and can work out a good schedule that's best for all parties involved. Whether if it's inside or out, I'll make sure your pets will be safe and secure at all times while you are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 693 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chichester. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
