About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)
About: I have taken care of family animals my entire life & recently rescued my current dog three years ago. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am happy to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good match :) I WFH several times a week so I can be available on different days / times! When I work from home I am able to do multiple walks / drop in visits a day In / from your home I will provide long walks in nearby parks / the sidewalk, play catch, and explore. If you have a fenced in yard or common area and prefer your doggo play there, that’s great as well
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets as well as friends and neighbors, for over 20 years. We have a warm and caring home that is ready to welcome your pet. We give all our animals lots of love and attention. I understand accidents happen, however I care for only fully house trained pets. I am at home full time and I am available to take your pets outside on walks and offer lots of play and cuddles throughout the day. Your pet will be loved and well looked after while in my care. I am also able to provide any medications or attend to any dietary needs. I have a large back yard with lots of space and grass for your pet to enjoy. I live on a quiet neighborhood, perfect for nice walks. Your pet will have full access to our clean, smoke free house, and frequent walks and play time. I care for all pets with lots of love and attention.
“Kim was a great sitter for my special needs cat. She gave him the care and attention he needed and made sure I was updated on whether he’d gone to the bathroom. I also appreciate her willingness to care for him over the holidays - it was a huge help since we could not be home with him!”
About: I am currently in training to become a certified dog trainer. I am able to offer basic and puppy training at this time. I have around 18 years of pet care experience. I have cared for dogs and cats in the past, including elderly and ill pets. I can administer any necessary medications, both oral and injectable. I have also worked for a prominent doggy day care that has locations across the country. I have an acre of fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and get out all of their energy, so you can rest assured they'll be having the time of their life here! I work from home, so I am available whenever you need. I love to spend time with dogs and can be there when you can't!
“She is absolutely amazing. Always kept me updated and asked questions if needed to know anything. She is very thorough and took care of my dog and he was her own. 100% recommend if you want you fur baby to be loved while you are gone.”
“Alisa was such a good pet sitter! Trustworthy, kind and absolutely perfect for the job. I couldn’t be happier to find someone not only last minute but also great communication and passion for animals! Thank you Alisa!!”
“Jennifer was excellent, especially when it came to meeting my 12 year-old fear reactive Australian Sheppard. We took the meet and greet slow to make sure everyone was comfortable. It worked because their first check-in visit went very well.”
“Elisandro did a great job and made friends with Willow. Willow was well groomed when I got back. This is evidence he was very much at ease and well taken care of. Thank you Elisandro!!!”
About: I have taken care of almost all breeds. I have fostered and dog sat labs, pitbulls, mixed terriers, doodles, Bernese mountain dog, you name it! I have provided senior care to some, and the puppy stage. I am currently in school, so pet care fits very well into my weekly routine! I work part-time as well, just two-three days a week. I am well equipped to keep your dog how you would have them. If you crate them, I will! If you leave them roaming, I will! However you normally take care of your pet, I will always make them comfortable and do the same.
“We hired Kalyna for a home visit just to meet her and have her spend a little time getting to know our dog. Everything went great, and we hired her for a home visit next weekend. We look forward to working with her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.
“Grace is phenomenal!! She took amazing care of my dog Belle and is super responsible! Update pictures and videos throughout the day and always arrived on time for feedings and walks. I'm so happy with my first experience using Rover. I'm so happy Belle was looked after with such great care!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sussex stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Sussex 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sussex with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
