“The best type of sitter! The booking and handover process was easy and fuss free. Tina let me know she was flexible around pick up time which was very helpful as I was visiting the area for a family event. I had some lovely photos of Toby having walks and cuddles, clearly a happy boy. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“Lola absolutely loves visiting Ellie. As soon as the front door is opened she takes herself off indoors without a glance back at me! Thank you Ellie for the wonderful care you give my senior girl x”
About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old university student home for the holidays and looking to earn some extra money doing something I genuinely love – caring for animals. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and currently have a dog, two tortoises, and a much-loved cat who has been part of my family for 16 years and still sleeps on my bed every night without fail! I’m reliable, caring, and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I am currently not working as i’m home from exeter university for summer. I am home everyday and able to attend to all your pets needs. I have a drivers license and so can walk your dog on the beach, the woods or just around fields nearby depending on its needs. I have a fenced garden aswell as 1 small friendly dog who gets along with everyone and everything. I also have 2 tortoises who are kept in a cage
About: I have taken care of every dog of every age since I was in my teens. I have trained my dogs and have lots of availability around my work to take great care of your furbabies I am currently working part time so I have plenty of availability to look after your pooches in the week and weekend. My husband is a sitter with me, so we can offer lots of flexibility around our work. We both love to play and walk with the pooches and there are plenty around here. Lots of playtime in our garden, that has plenty of shade in the summer too. I have a fenced garden and a very friendly cavapoo called Bertie for your fur baby to play with. I have lots of walks around here. If overnight boarding i can offer a bed and a crate (if size is suitable). They will be fussed, well cared for and treated as part of the family
“Amelia took such great care of Alfie, I was sent regular updates and photos to put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and have already booked Alfie’s second care with Amelia”
“I am very happy with the doggie daycare service 😁 Scott looked after my pups all day! They had so much fun, walks on the beach, lots of playtime and socialised with another dog. They were exhausted at the end of the day. He is relaxed, calm and flexible inc drop-off/pick-up times, which made it easy for me and my family.”
“Kathy is so conscientious and caring of Raffy and he always comes home having had a wonderful playdate with Kathy's own two dogs. Kathy is very reliable, always tries to fit around my plans, and is a great communicator. Kathy has become a regular go-to for me when I need help with Raffs. I highly recommend Kathy as a dog carer. Thank you Kathy.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, growing up with a Mini Schnazuer and owning 2 Giant Schnauzers myself. There’s nothing I love more than having dogs around and will look after your pup like they’re my own. I know how important it is to provide a safe, happy and loving environment. I’ve previously been an owner of two Giant Schnauzers who I’ve also put into boarding and daycare, so understand it can be scary leaving your pup with someone else, and want to reassure you that they’ll get all the love and best care while staying with me. I do this full time so I’m at home all day and I’m professionally certified in Canine First Aid. I have a large, fully fenced and secure garden for your pooch to play in and love going for long walks in the forest or on the beach. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog so they’ll get plenty of exercise and stimulation while staying here. Please get in touch if I can be of any help in looking after your pooch,, and I’m happy to answer any questions. I do this full time and I’m in the process of setting up a doggy day care, so I’m home all day. I love going for long walks in the woods or the beach, so if your dog is of good health and can manage long walks that’s something I always love to do. I have a large, fully fenced and secure garden for your pup to explore and play in. I live in a quiet residential area with low traffic and noise, perfect for afternoon snoozes.
“I'm so glad that I found Jess. My Lucy was so happy after day with her and her two lovely dogs Lola and Daisy. Jess regularly informed me about Lucy and sent photos of her. Absolutely will recommend Jessica and for sure use her help again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, including shy or independent pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust and meet their individual needs. I’m comfortable with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle care and close attention. I’m currently a stay at home mum To my little boy who’s 1.5 yo so, so I have a lot of time to give full care and attention! & can be super flexible ☺️ I am very adaptable and think it’s very important to ask if I’m not sure of anything as your the pet mum/dad and what you say goes it’s your baby after all !
About: Hi 😊 I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals. I have over 7 years of experience looking after pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and small animals, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in safe hands. I have a small dog named Minnie, who is very friendly and loves being around other dogs. She’s gentle and sociable, so she’s a great companion for visiting pups. I work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day—no long stretches of being left alone. I usually provide at least three walks a day, along with playtime and lots of affection. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions carefully and will keep you updated with messages and photos, so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! As work from home so I am very flexible. I usually give my dog 3 walks a day and play with her during the day at home and in the garden. My flat is very spacious and free of any dangerous hazards. I adjust my day care to your needs - just tell me what you need :-)
“Katie was so welcoming, flexible and super responsive to messages. Lots of lovely photo updates and videos. Oscar had a brilliant day both times he stayed. Thank you Katie and Barney - we would love to arrange another playdate soon.”
“Thank you Chelsea for looking after Murphy, especially at such short notice. Communication was great, super friendly and Murphy had a great time! Was my first time with Chelsea and will definitely be going back. Thanks again!xx”
About: My husband and I have had dogs for over 30 years, all of them rescues. We recently lost our 16yo yorkie cross and our house has become very quiet. We are retired so decided to open our home up for doggie holidays as they deserve one as much as their owners. We have a secure garden and live 5 minutes walk to the sea. At least one of us is home all the time and if we go out, we usually take the dog with as they would become family while they are with us. Having always had rescue dogs, we are used to their little quirks, but they must be house trained. Looking forward to taking care of your doggy and giving them a lovely time I am retired and either me or my husband are home throughout the day and able to provide a calm, attentive, and highly personalised experience for your dog. I only have one dog at a time, ensuring they receive the best possible care. I am happy to adjust my routine to the dog’s needs and I aim to give them a fun, comfortable holiday. I have a warm comfortable home and allow pets on furniture however if that is not something you allow, I will follow that. The garden is small and full fenced but living 5 minutes walk from the sea means they get lovely walks.
About: Jack and I have grown up with dogs our whole lives and love looking after family and friend’s pets. Had a range of sizes and breeds between us including border terriers, staffies, as well dogs who have ‘a bit of everything’. Frequent availability, ability to work from home meaning constant care and attention throughout the day 🐶. Nice sized garden, quiet cul-de-sac, and only a short walk from Southfields park. My work schedule allows me to have multiple days off a week, sometimes whole weeks at a time. My partner works from home four days a week as well. Plenty of availability to look after dogs 🦮 I have a fenced garden, plenty of space indoors and outdoors to run and play, or to chill out in. We’re both active walkers, happy to drive further for better walks if you dog prefers! Have treats and toys already at home 🦴

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Arun on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,669 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Arun. About 87% of Arun sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 Arun 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 .
