“Miranda was great, as usual! She always goes above and beyond if there’s even the slightest hiccup during a visit. We really appreciate having her check on our cats!”
“Lisa did a great job of caring for Lily while we were on vacation. She was recommended by our veterinarian, which gave us extra peace of mind. Plus, the girls loved getting photos of Lily each day!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life, whether my own or someone else's. I have experience also with chickens, horses, alpaca, chinchillas, and recently a bearded dragon. I believe pets are family members, equivalent to a child you birthed yourself, and should be treated as such. I will treat your pet as my own and respect your rules as the pet owner. I work a full time 8am to 4pm job. It is flexible where I can leave the office to check in on your pet briefly and return back to work. I do not work weekends. Longer walks or longer times together in general with your pet on weekends is to be expected. I live in an apartment right now with two cats. I would ask the owner for their own safety rules for their home and their pet. If a pet stayed in my apartment it would be kept inside have its own room/area away from my cats.
About: I have loved dogs my whole life! I grew up always having dogs and have recently got my own dog; a miniature dachshund named Moose. I am familiar/comfortable with dogs of all ages including puppies with all of the energy that need constant attention and elderly dogs that may need more care and some extra snuggles. I will love your dog like my own and follow care instructions very closely. I am also comfortable with light training for younger dogs as I am working on training with my own puppy. I am familiar with administering medication including oral pills, sprays, topicals, etc. I am a full-time business owner. This means my schedule is generally flexible when necessary, but on a weekly basis I usually work during the day and would be most available after work. Monday through Friday I am available before 6am and after 3pm. On weekends, I am flexible. In your home, I will always follow your established rules for your pet. I am comfortable using harness and leash, overseeing pets in a fenced in area, walking dogs, administering medications, feeding dogs, playing, training, etc.
“Madison took great care of our cat. Arrived at the agreed upon time, fed and played with him. She even cleaned up a little mess he made. Great experience. Will hire her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family's pets since I was young. Recently I have been pet sitting as many dogs and kitties as I can. I’m very adaptable and adore animals. I dance part time, on Monday’s 3-9, Tuesdays 7-9, and Thursdays 3-7. Other than that my time is completely flexible for pet sitting. I’m very tidy and will always leave the house better than I found it! I’m also good with cleaning up puppy/kitty accidents.
“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life- Dogs and cats mostly (and a hamster at one point). Ever since I was little I have always had the responsibility to take care of my own cats and dogs in my home, and time to time I would watch my neighbors and families pets for drop in visits or staying overnight in their home. I have lots of experience with dog walking as well, as I have two dogs of my own. I am responsible with feedings in the early morning, afternoon, and evening- as well as lots of play time :) I am a current college graduate and I am currently working part time in the afternoons until I find my full time job! I am able to stay In-Home or do Drop-In visits. I would be able to provide services early morning services, early afternoon, and evenings as well! I have a very flexible schedule and would make sure you feel the most comfortable with your pets care! I am completely comfortable with watching your fur baby in any environment. Wether that be in a fenced in yard, an open yard with a leash, staying in home or going to the park! I don’t mind crating if that’s needed as well. I have lots of experience with in home sitting ( with a meet and greet before hand) ☺️.
“Alexy and Christian were great sitters for our 3 cats. Followed instructions well and made sure they were fed properly (some have medicine mixed with their food) Plenty of pictures of the kitties and of what was taken care of were sent to us. Would gladly hire them again to cat sit!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sussex
Allison was an amazing sitter for our four cats — Stanley, Pebbles, Murphy, and Harley. Stanley is a full-time attention hog, but Allison made sure everyone got their cuddles and pets during each visit. She also flawlessly handled Stanley’s nightly oral medication (6/6 successful doses 👏), which is no small feat. All cats are on various different prescription foods, and she fed them perfectly, kept water bowls full, and made sure dry food was always available. We loved the detailed Rover report cards and all the photos — it was clear she spent the full hour with them, just as requested. I know we are coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and total peace of mind. She also brought all our packages into the house, which is a bonus.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sussex is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $19 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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 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.
