“Mylo had such a lovely time with Georgina. He’s an older boy with separation anxiety so it was important to me to find the right person for him but Georgina clearly understood him straight away He had the best time and had settled quickly ! Will definitely rebook Thank you”
“Linda oozes calm and kindness which my dogs know in a person. Within minutes of her meeting the boys, Porky was on her knee and Zippy was asking for a stroke. I always let my boys feel their own way and they liked Linda immediately. I will definately be asking Linda again to care for my dogs.”
About: We had our Retriever/Collie mix breed for almost 18 years, from boisterous puppy to (very) senior retiree, so have experience across the life of a dog. Both Andy & CJ work from home full time (bar one day a week when CJ is in the office) with a large amount of flexibility. We have a big back garden with large deck and lots of grass (and nothing of value!). Dogs are allowed pretty much anywhere in the house, so they would be able to wander about, sleep in the office with us, or elsewhere for some R&R.
“If Carlsberg did Doggy Day Care this is what it would look like. Valentina has a genuine passion for dogs and a wonderful natural connection with them. She was fantastic with our little puppy and had extensive knowledge and experience. She asked lots of questions before taking her to maintain consistency and planned their days to include lots of play time, mental stimulation and socialisation. Valentina is highly trust-worthy and kind & has really added value to our little puppy's life. Highly, highly recommended!”
About: I used to have a dog in our family for 10 years. Our dog was our baby and part of the family. I then got married and moved away. I'm a mum of two (aged 7 and 9) who both love animals, we live near a large park and the South Downs so no problem to walk any dogs 🐕. My husband is also happy to join us on walks when he can. We have a small garden for play etc protected by a high secure fence. We will make sure your dog is happy in our house while you are away, we will also send you some pictures if your dog stays with us. While with us your pet/s will be part of our family, there are no restrictions. I have a small part time job, it's only a few nights a week and my husband takes over when I'm not there, so no issues at all. We have a secure fenced garden and take much care when opening the front door, your dogs happyness, safety, and security is paramount to us.
“Toula had such a good time spending the day with Inesa, and seemed to have a great bond with her dog Laska, wanting to give her lots of kisses! We were not sure how Toula would settle in an unfamiliar house, but we needn't have worried, she certainly made herself at home. Inesa has a calmness about her, therefore making our dog feel as ease. We would be more than happy for her to stay with Inesa and Laska again. Would highly recommend.”
“Absolutely lovely people and they sent photos and kept me up to date with everything through the day and went above and beyond for shadow. I will definitely want them to be part of shadows life for years to come. Thankyou”
“Lorraine was amazing, lots of communication and photos, the dogs were super settled and happy and I felt relaxed knowing they were with an experienced dog loving family.”
“Andrea was absolutely amazing with Alfie and Neyo! I had to make this booking at the very last minute, and she went above and beyond to look after my two boys. She took them on long walks, and they came home happy and completely exhausted! I can’t thank Andrea enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving and reliable to care for their pets.”
“Katherine communicated clearly and has a border collie that immediately made friends with my dog Bunyip, and apparently they just played together all day. He slept for about 13 hours once we got home so I'm sure he had a good time!”
About: A born animal lover, been around cats & dogs all my life, I am now 43 and have a cat but adore dogs more (love my cat obviously) but as a freeholder I am not allowed to have 1 long term in my building even though I own the flat and have a garden. I loving walking and taking your dog out will be a pleasure for me. I am very responsible and you can rely on there never being an issue and your furry friend getting the love, empathy and exercise it needs! I work from home and I have a cat, she is out most of the day and loves dogs but if your dog isn't a fan of cats then it won't work. I have a caring, clean and safe environment and will look after your dog like they are my own. Lots of walks and love would be standard! The only reason I don't have a dog is that even though I own my flat and have a garden, the freehold contract between the 3 flats made me sign when I bought that I would only have a cat. So I am doing this because it makes up for not having my own!
About: Hi, I'm Alex - a 32-year-old freelance producer who primarily works from home. For as long as I remember I've loved dogs. It's a running joke in my family that no one loves them more than me. Having grown up with Irish Setters and horses, I've been around dogs my entire life and consider them to be the purest form of joy I've yet experienced! Aside from this, I frequently look after friends and neighbours dogs and love taking them to local beaches and parks for walks, as well as my local co-working space, if suitable. I am also experienced in house sitting dogs and cats and love taking dogs on long walks in the countryside to keep them stimulated and tired at the end of the day. Having recently moved to Hove and bought a three bedroom house with a garden (fenced and very safe), I am keen to share my space and provide a safe and happy place for dog owners to send their dogs to when they need them looking after. I'm open to short or long stays and even day sittings in my house as well. Please do get in touch with any questions. Happy to provide photos of my home and garden, and of course for any dog to come round and meet me before staying so they get used to the smells and environment. I'm currently in a low period of freelance work and have much more spare time in the day for the next few months. I work remotely most of the time and occasionally work in a dog friendly co-work space called Platf9rm. I am able to work from home in my own house with a dog, but also take it for walks much more during the day. I like to be active and outdoors as much as I can and any dog I care for is also able to have free rein of my garden, which is walled and secure. I have a walled garden which is super safe and secure and it's a big enough space for any dog to run around, chill, or have a snooze in the sun. I have a desk in the living room space which opens up into the kitchen, so when working from home would always be around the dog. I love nothing more than watching TV and curling up with a dog. I'd be happy for the dog to join me on the sofa with a blanket.
About: I am a 29 year old artist, living in Hove with my boyfriend. We both love animals and believe our dogs are another family member. I have experience working with animals, having worked in the kennels at Dogs Trust in the past, and am volunteering there on a weekly basis now. I have completed the Introduction to Dog Behaviour course at Plumpton College, and hold a canine first aid qualification. Apart from taking care of my family dogs, I have been looking after dogs within my own home for 3 years now. One being a small terrier named Peggy. We have her overnight (2 days) each week. Peggy is very sweet, and sometimes can be reactive towards other dogs. We have been working with her on training for this. Additionally, we look after a friends puppy, who is learning to go to the toilet on the balcony, and settle down for nap times. I am currently available Monday-Friday for dog walking and drop ins. Please contact me for Saturday and Sunday availability as this changes week on week. For day care, please contact me as this will also change regularly! I am living in a flat block, with a small balcony. I will let the dog out on the Balcony regularly and whenever they wish (this will always be supervised). I can also take the dogs out for frequent toilet breaks, by taking them on lead downstairs and down the street. My flat is right next to the beach, meaning play time on the beach or the areas surrounding is always available to us. My boyfriend, David, works from home, so is also around to keep an eye! He is in my photos, he has fluffy brown hair. On house visits, I am able to keep you conpletely updated on goings on. I will always be respectful of your home, and leave it as I found it. I can let your pet out, come take them for walks, feed them, play with them, and more. I have a clean UK Drivers License and a car, so am able to drive to you or transport your furry friend if needed. Whether on walks, a house visit, or boarding, I am always able to give frequent 'pupdates' and send photos of them having a lovely time.
“Scout now hunts around Poets’ Corner searching for Verity’s house! Scout clearly loves her visits, and we’ve already booked several more Doggy Day Care slots in January. Thanks, Verity.”

About: I got my first dog when I was in primary school and have been taking good care of it until now. It is already 12 years old, so I have experience in looking after elderly dogs. In junior high school, I adopted a sick kitten and had the experience of feeding it milk and giving it injections. I have been adopting it until now and it is already five and a half years old. I currently have plenty of time, so I can be with your pets at any time and take care of them. The time frame is from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. I have a large open-air balcony which is convenient for my pets to play on, and there is a park right downstairs from my house. Besides, my home has soft carpets to protect pets with joint problems.
“Lisa very kindly took my two dogs for day care at short notice. She was very easy to communicate with and put me at ease. Lisa warmly welcomed Evie and Izzy, making the handover very easy. The girls had a lovely walk during the middle of day and I was sent photos and an update. They were both relaxed when I picked them up and were going between us with tails wagging. They were also very comfortable with her senior dog. I will definitely book again. Many thanks Lisa!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Adur commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
