About: Hi, I'm Catilyn! 👋🐾 I've been caring for pets for several years professionally, and nothing makes me happier than helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion, I'm happy to provide the care that helps them feel at ease. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, senior pets, and multi-pet households, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and keeping up with feeding schedules and daily routines. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout my visits. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. I look forward to providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pets! My availabilty is semi-open. I work full-time in the evenings, usually up to about 8 hours Thurs-Sun. I have quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to morning & afternoon drop-in visits/walks. I can often work with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work well for both them and their pets! I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Providing reliable, consistent care is important to me, and I always make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, or any special requests. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet has fresh food and water, and give them plenty of love and attention based on their personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe and cared for. You'll receive regular photo and video updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in good hands while you're away.

About: I grew up in a house of 3 dogs and have been pet sitting for more than 15 years. I am comfortable and familiar caring for pets of all sizes, needs, and personalities. Should you need more personalized care, I am happy to provide overnight stays in your home as well. I like to keep my clients up to date with check ins and photos throughout the day so they know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions! When booking a sitting request I always want to make sure that I can give your pet my full attention to accommodate their needs. I typically wake up early and am able to be home for the majority of the day, if not full time. I care for each pet as if it were my own. There will be no shortage of love and attention when they are with me.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I can remember. I have been in charge of feeding/walking to bathing and playing with animals. I always have 3 day weekends! This means you can go on your weekend getaway and I'll give your fur baby all the attention they need! I treat every animal as my own. I will never put them in a harmful situation.In my own home, I have ample space for them to run and play. In the clients home, I am respectful of their rules and will treat their pet as well as they do!

Heather was really wonderful. I have 2 dogs who couldn't be more different, a senior hound and a 5 yr old malinois. She did great with both of them. Heather was willing to go above and beyond with the care of the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years! I had dogs growing up and I have my own cat now. I also have my own turtle! I work full time but am able to let dogs out depending on distance throughout the day. I am more than willing to spend quality time with your animal! I am able to stay/visit at houses to support your pet. I am unable to bring cats or dogs into my house due to my cat being a solo cat (her preference).

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dependable dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on dog caretaking experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and care levels — from energetic pups to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and medication management. One thing that sets me apart is my flexibility while working remotely. I’m able to provide more consistent companionship and care throughout the day by working from your home when needed. Whether your dog needs potty breaks every few hours, lunchtime playtime, walks, medication administration, or simply someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I truly treat every pet as if they were my own family member. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry loved one, and I pride myself on being attentive, patient, reliable, and loving. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I have flexibility while working remotely. I’m able to provide more consistent companionship and care throughout the day by working from your home when needed. Monday through Friday I can work your pet’s schedule into my work day! On the weekends, I can be available whenever! I’m here to help as much as I can. My goal is to ensure your dog feels no different when I’m at a client’s home. The schedule, routines, and energy remain the same. I’m just a part time friend your dog can be excited to spend time with while their parents are away. I follow everything you need to ensure your dog is cared for and loved.

About: • I’ve had and cared for dogs my entire life (~25 years of experience) and cats for the past 10 years • Comfortable with all breeds and ages • Previous dog-walker for an animal shelter • 2 years experience as a veterinary assistant • Specialty: caring for high energy dogs / working breeds (ex: shepherds, malinois, and my own doberman!) • Other skills: animal behavior recognition, training, general first aid, senior and puppy pet care, medication administration/management I currently work part-time, so i have plenty of availability throughout the week, though my work schedule is different each week. Just let me know when you’d like help and we can work together to find what works! I am available for drop-ins. I am NOT available for overnight stays. I understand it can be a weird feeling having a new person come into your home (especially for your pet)! As a guest in your home, I am respectful and patient as your pet gets comfortable with me. I try my best to follow your pets lead, while also being a leader for them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in other people’s homes many times and prioritize the safety of their home. For example, making sure it’s locked up and left how I found it when i leave, making sure the collars and leashes are secure before walks, and ensuring pets don’t escape when i open the door haha!

About: I have had dogs and helped to care for them for my entire life. Including maintaining proper feeding schedule, walking and exercising dogs, playing with dogs, comforting dogs, etc… I frequently dogsit (including overnight stays) for my nephew puppy (Theo, mini bernedoodle), who is now 11 months old but have been helping with him since we was 2 months old. I will be getting my own mini dachshund puppy in August! :) I currently work full-time as a nanny. However, my schedule will be changing in August, as I will be opening my own coffee shop in September. With my current schedule, I would be available early mornings (before 7/8am usually) or evenings (after 4pm usually). I am wide open on weekends. In August, my schedule will remain the same, though I will also be wide open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In September, when the coffee shop opens I will be flexible Saturday-Monday and available after 2:30pm the rest of the week. 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, etc.

About: I’ve had the privilege to house sit, dog walk, and LOVE 💙, my friends and clients fur babies. I make sure all of their needs are taken care of. I’m currently working 4 AM to 1230 Monday through Thursday and Saturday, but as of April 16, I’ve decided the love and passion I have for caring for your babies excite me a lot more. I will be more available to accompany your needs while you’re away for work or on a vacation with your family, yet I have had many clients& their babies have no issues when I housesit/dog walk. I treat animals with love, care, and respect as if they were my own. I will follow your directions on how your fur baby likes to be cared for.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I was the pet caretaker in my family—handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Those early experiences sparked a love of caring for animals. For the past 4 years, I've been dog walking and pet sitting for a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or playing fetch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine. I am available in the morning and anytime after 3pm in the evenings. On the weekends I am available all day. My goal is to make pet care as convenient for both you and your animals! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am committed to providing a safe and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or accommodations, I am happy to make adjustments in my care routine to ensure they feel comfortable. I make sure every pet gets the walks, playtime, supervision, and companionship they need each day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Sussex on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,029 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sussex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sussex. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
