“Cassie was wonderful! Lexi warmed up to her very quickly, and she is usually fairly skittish around people she doesn't know. She sent great pictures of her drop in visit, and the entire interaction was great. I highly recommend her!”
“Haley is great! So patient and caring. I can’t say enough good things. My dog is really tough with new people but she warmed up to Haley so fast! She’s also great with communication and working with my schedule. I appreciate that!!”
“Faustine did a great job taking care of our three kitties when we went away for a long weekend! I loved that she always let me know how much food they ate which I appreciated. She also played with our kitten during her visits which was great because he loves to play and get attention. Would definitely recommend Faustine and would certainly book again.”
About: A lifelong dog lover, I finally have the freedom to do what I love most: caring for dogs and making sure they have just as much fun as I do. I have 2 dogs so once they are cared for I’m yours and I’ll will be ready to care for yours !! I can’t wait to meet you and your pups b I walk my dogs twice a day I play with them I take care of them when they are sick !! Mostly I give them lots of belly rubs & snuggles
About: I love dogs. They're the best! I've cared for dogs of all sizes. From a Maltese to an English Sheepdog. All Different in their own special ways and loved them all. We currently have a 2 year old mixed breed from Louisiana named Beau, who loves to run, play, swim, hike and cuddle. He's a sweet boy. My schedule is very flexible and easy to adapt to you and your pet's needs. I have a 2 year old mixed lab and we love to hike in the woods and mountains or go for long walks in town. He has daycare twice a week to play and socialize with other dogs. I have a fenced in backyard at home and am very comfortable caring for your dog in your home the way you prefer. Please let me know if they have particular leashes, harnesses or treats they prefer when I visit. I'd love a quick meet and greet first to make sure your pup is happy with me.
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.
“Caroline was wonderful! She provided me with detailed updates and pics of my babies, she communicated well, and it was nice knowing that my girls were in good hands while I was off gallivanting. I would 100% recommend her and am already planning on booking her again next time I'm away. I came home to happy and well taken care of gatos. Thank you so much, Caroline! I truly appreciate how well you took care of my babies.”
About: I am currently work 8-5. I have a dog of my own and prioritize taking care of her. I will do the same for your fur babies! I can take your dog out for walks every day if wanted or needed. I can play all sorts of games with them if that’s what they like. I have always owned dogs so I’m extremely comfortable and knowledgeable about them. I’m flexible and with enough notice I can plan during the days. So if you require a set schedule for certain days I can definitely work with you on that. Let me know preferences and schedules and I will be sure to work with you all as needed! I have a very active dog of my own and I will prioritize her schedule during the day. I can do that for you too! Living in an apartment, I need to be diligent about the care for my dog and make sure she’s getting out for exercise throughout the day. Parks are near by which she loves to run around!
“Andrea is amazing. We have total peace of mind knowing that she is taking care of our pet. She goes above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable and well loved while we are gone!”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to reptiles. I've had them all. I currently look after a 17-year-old senior cat and a 13-year-old senior pit bull. I enjoy the outdoors, and making animals happy always brightens my day! Depends on the needs. If it’s walks, as many as needed. I love walking. Feedings anytime, as many as needed. Overnight stays, obviously only one a day. I care for my pets how anyone should—lots of love, well-fed, with toys, entertainment, and cuddles. My care will depend on the animal's comfortability and needs.
About: I am a trusted dog/cat sitter for a little over 8 years for friends and family. I also have my own pup named Bella who is 10 years old. I thrive to expand my knowledge, meet more furry friends and take on more responsibility as a dog/cat sitter. I work at a financial institution (9-5), which allow me to have mornings and afternoons free. I get up early, to get the day started, let animals out or go for walks, and fresh food or water. I don't have a lot of space in my own apartment to have many animals. I do frequent many trails that I take Bella to! I have large dog park and long walking trail not far from me. Totally up to preference, it is important for your animal to be as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a long walk, or playtime, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, so I make sure to provide updates, photos, and plenty of love while you're away. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel happy and safe. I’d love to meet your furry friend and help care for them however I can! I just graduated college a few weeks ago. I currently have full availability this summer, because my job does not start until the fall. Any time will work for me. I make sure my dog is well fed, hydrated, and goes out to exercise. We go on morning walks everyday and make sure they are healthy. I love to go in the yard to throw a frisbee.
“Emily is a fabulous sitter. I felt at ease during my trip knowing that Emily was coming by each day. Our cat Nelly warmed up to Emily immediately which we loved. Will book again ♥️”
“Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!”

Shana is an upstanding pet sitter. Being that I arrived home earlier than expected, therefore no longer requiring the last scheduled appointment, she insisted that my money be refunded. I cannot recommend her highly enough. As mentioned in my previous review, her services and communication are outstanding and both my "boys"/dogs were extremely happy!
Shana was an absolute angel, and I can't express how incredibly grateful I am that I chose her to take care of my two big Mastiffs while I was away. From the moment we met, I knew they were in great hands. Shana is the perfect combination of professional, kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond every single day, keeping me updated with thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures that brought a smile to my face and completely put my mind at ease. Leaving your pets behind is never easy, especially when they're such an important part of your family. But thanks to Shana, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing they were being loved and cared for as if they were her own. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and who genuinely loves animals, I cannot recommend Shana highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chichester is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,256 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chichester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chichester. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
