“Thank you so much to Lin for caring for my two dogs at home.over my birthday weekend. Lin sent me regular updates on Qali and Nala, took them for little walks and made sure they had treats and were settled, keeping them happy in my absence. Lin took such good care of them and I can highly recommend her if you need someone to care for your dogs. Thank you again Lin.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in the Welsh countryside in a family with six dogs, mostly Labradors and Alsatians, along with one absolutely crazy crossbreed called Cromwell. We never did quite work out what he was, and he was completely bonkers, but he was also very, very loved! As I got older, I also had the privilege of helping to care for guide dogs, which gave me experience with extremely well-trained working dogs as well as the rather more chaotic variety I’d grown up with! For many years after that, I had Bulldogs of my own. My last two were Blossom and Bertie, who were very much part of our family. Sadly, I lost them both — one to an aggressive skin cancer and the other to heart failure. Blossom made it to the grand old age of 12, which is pretty impressive for a Bulldog! Losing them has left a genuine dog-shaped hole in our home. I now have two young children and, at this stage of our lives, having another dog permanently doesn’t quite work for us. We love travelling and going away together as a family, so we’ve decided to wait before becoming full-time dog owners again. That’s one of the reasons dog sitting and walking feels like such a lovely fit for me. It gives me the chance to have dogs back in my life, whether that’s taking them for a good walk, dropping in to keep them company or caring for them while their owners are away. I’m comfortable around dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities, and having owned dogs for so much of my life, I understand that they’re not simply pets — they’re part of the family. I’d look after yours with the same care and affection I’ve always given my own. Pet care fits really naturally into my day. I’m an early riser and am very happy to start walks, drop-ins or visits from as early as 6am — early mornings definitely aren’t a problem for me! I have two young children, one at school and one at nursery three days a week, so my weekdays already have a fairly structured routine around school drop-offs and pick-ups. Between those times I have plenty of flexibility for dog walks, home visits and spending some proper time with your pet rather than simply rushing in and out. My wife works three longer shifts each week, which can fall on different days, although we always know her rota in advance. On those days I generally need to finish by around 2:30pm to take over with the children. On other days I can be much more flexible, including later visits where needed. My availability can therefore vary slightly from week to week, so it’s always worth asking me — even if a particular time appears unavailable. I’ll always be upfront about what I can and can’t do, and I’ll never accept a booking unless I know I can give your dog the time and attention they deserve. I live in a family home in Portslade Village with easy, level access to the front door and a good-sized, completely private and fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space to get outside, relax and have a wander. I’m really lucky with the variety of walks on my doorstep. I can head up towards the South Downs, down towards the seafront, or choose from plenty of local parks and quieter routes. Having walked my own dogs around the area for years, I know the local walks extremely well and can vary them depending on a dog’s age, energy levels and what they enjoy. Inside, ours is very much a relaxed, dog-friendly family home. I always make sure there’s fresh water readily available, with bowls around the house so a visiting dog never has to go looking for a drink. And with two young children around, I’m certainly not precious about the occasional splash or bit of mess! Water bowls sometimes get knocked over, muddy paws happen, and there’s always a mop nearby. Dogs are welcome to settle in, get comfortable and feel like part of the household while they’re staying with us. Above all, it’s a clean, safe and welcoming home where I want visiting dogs to feel relaxed, secure and very well looked after.
“Natasha was excellent and sent us regular updates and videos. Our two cats were rather elusive but she tried really hard to entice them in. We have her booked again soon and I am much more confident going away and leaving the cats knowing that she is coming again.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and since moving to Brighton a year ago, I really miss having animals in my life! I have dogs sat for friends/family/collegues etc for around 5 years I work full-time in a café, my usual working hours are somewhere between 8-16. With breaks in the day. I always have Monday / Tuesday off every week and work short shifts at the weekend. I do not have a garden, but I have a light airy flat for your pet to make themselves at home. I am not strict on animals being on my furniture. The cuddlier the better. I am an early riser, so I will always walk your pets before I have to go to work and I am always able to pop home on lunch break. Followed by a lovely afternoon walking/cuddling/playing with your pets.
About: Having grown up with dogs (having 3 at one point, during my childhood and teens) and contributed to all aspects of their care, I am experienced with a variety of breeds both big and small. I have been dog-sitting regularly for friends and family for the past 8 years providing overnight care for short and longer breaks. My children, now 18 and 14, were much younger when I began dog sitting. They are dog lovers, who understand dogs and always behave responsibly around them. We offer a relaxed, calm, yet stimulating environment, with plenty of love. I work flexibly, part-time and from home. I can offer a flexible schedule by arrangement on a variety of days to suit working days, days out, weekends away or longer breaks. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace, with my 18 and 14 year old children. We have a fully fenced garden, and a self enclosed porch, providing safety when opening/closing the front door. I have enough space in the lounge for beds and to crate a dog if appropriate for them. I have a snuffle mat for stimulation, extra toys, and an extra bed for smaller dogs if needed.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own. I regularly look after friends and family’s dogs when they’re away, so I’m comfortable caring for different breeds and personalities. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they’re happy, comfortable and well looked after. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently not working full-time as I’ve recently moved back to the UK from the UAE, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability. I regularly go on long walks with my own dogs and often look after friends and family’s dogs and cats when they’re away. I’m used to building pet care around my day and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s taking dogs for walks, visiting cats at home or simply giving them some company and attention. In my own home: I have two dogs, so I’m used to providing daily walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime and plenty of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and have a safe, calm environment while sticking to their usual routine as much as possible. In a pet owner’s home: I’m happy to follow the owner’s instructions and keep to their pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, giving them company and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past two years now. I do miss having furry friends a lot, and it would be quite nice to exercise while walking them. I’m currently working a part time job, so I have a lot of free time. I also love taking walks to the beach and parks around me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I always will follow the owner’s routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special care instructions, to help pets feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.
“We were so pleased with Inesa, who checked in on our sausage dog. She arrived at the time we had discussed and kept us updated. We will be using her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a dog of my own, so I’m very used to everything that comes with looking after them! I absolutely love being around dogs and regularly look after and walk dogs for neighbours, friends and family. I’m friendly, caring and responsible and understand how important it is to know your dog is in safe hands when you’re not there. I’m happy with walks, feeding, playtime and lots of cuddles and will always follow your dog’s usual routine. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention and treat them just like I do my own. I’m currently starting my gap year, so I have lots of flexibility and am available throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings and weekends. I can be flexible with times and am available for regular walks, daytime care, overnight stays or last-minute help where needed. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and any particular likes or dislikes. As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to feel that your dog is in safe hands.
“Lauren was fantastic with our teenage GSP. Super relaxed and patient with her, which is exactly what Penny needs in this stage. We'll definitely be booking again. Thanks so much Lauren ☺️”
“Thank you Mirriam. You were amazing with our dog Raiko and it was such a comfort knowing he had you coming into say hello. You communicated well with us including photo updates. can’t recommend highly enough and Raiko can’t wait to see you again!! xXx”
About: I've grown up around all sorts of animals, from furry, to exotic. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting for years, and as I enjoy it so much, I thought I'd finally offer my services to others too. I'm a West Sussex-based self-employed artist, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm available at the beginning of the week and some Saturdays. I'm quite flexible if you need a last-minute booking or an extra visit. I drive a large car so transport isn't a problem for myself or an animal. I currently have a 1-year-old kitten myself called Juniper, who I absolutely adore! Alongside a creative degree, I studied Level 3 Animal Care & Behaviour and have always been interested in Zoology & Marine Biology. I also spent some time in Spring volunteering at a local animal rescue where they had all sorts of farm animals. I'm a self-employed artist who works 3 days a week, sometimes less. This means I typically have lots of spare time to commit to something alot more casual and figured this was a really good option! I am more than happy with spontaneous bookings. I will not be caring for pets in my own home until I know my kitten would be okay with this & until this becomes a more regular job.
“chloe came round and took care of my 2 cats whilst i was away. i got daily updates and photos and she let me know how they were. she also went above and beyond and did some extra bits around the house, including changing their litter tray, to make my return easier. would definitely recommend chloe and would book again! 5 stars⭐”
“We are repeat customers. This time we used Milo for a drop-in visit. Milo was right on time as booked. Took care of the our dogs as advised, walked them and fed them and kept us updated.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life from my cat who I had for 18 years to my dog that I’ve had for nearly 8 years I have worked with my dog to help me become a dog massager for my university course that I did I have full training in EMMI-pet teeth cleaning and am a qualified dog groomer I work for an agency so do find out when I am needed for work at the beginning of a week that is why it would be great to be given notice of pet sitting so that I can give you and your pets my time I will keep everything out of reach of your dog and would send you regular pictures of your pets while you away to give you peace of mind that they are looked after
About: Friends and family have relied on me for years, love being outdoors or chilling indoors with whatever my furry friends need♥️ Sleepovers and cuddles are the best and honestly looking to mix things up in my own life and meet new people along the way! I’m currently in a transitional period of my life and working part time in a cafe, I’m pretty flexible and love to mix things up. I also drive and I’m happy for furry friends in my car and don’t mind mud and fur of course! I like super specific instructions clearly given in advance so I know exactly the sort of experience your pet and yourself needs! Lots and lots of love and movement if that’s what’s required, it’s no problem!
“Laure has been amazing. Sending me pictures from our cats at every visit was just so reassuring. And Laura was able to stroke our Floflo who never goes close to anyone except us. Highley recommended.”
About: I am at home full time, own 3 dogs, 2 of which are rescue. I occasionally foster dogs in preparation for a home of their own. I have lots of experience of dogs of all shapes and sizes and behaviour. I suppose my niche is reactive dogs. Giving them lots of love and understanding so they have more confidence to deal with life. I work part time from home & plan my day around the dogs. Often walking several times a day depending on the individual dogs needs. I have a secure garden and have reconfigured my house for dogs. Dogs are free to roam although I have areas that can be separated.

I highly recommend Roz as a cat sitter. She looked after my cats wonderfully and was so caring and attentive with them. They warmed to her straight away, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Roz kept me updated with regular messages and lovely photos, which were incredibly reassuring and made it much easier to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy cat sitter.
Natasha was excellent and sent us regular updates and videos. Our two cats were rather elusive but she tried really hard to entice them in. We have her booked again soon and I am much more confident going away and leaving the cats knowing that she is coming again.
We've used Jodie twice now, and I feel like my cats are in really good hands every time she looks after them 😊 I love getting the updates and pictures, and I can definitely see she takes very good care of the cats! I would definitely recommend her as a safe and reliable cat sitter 😊

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Adur pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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 Adur choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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.
