“Thank you Kathy! She looked after our little rio today and was fab! I was nervous to leave him as he is attached to me but after 5 mins she said he was all good and sent me photos and updates too, thanks so much!”
“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.”
“Many thanks to Ellie and her family! We were very satisfied. It was our first time using Rover, booked at short notice and also our first time using a doggy-care outside our circle of friends and family. We were pleasantly surprised at how professional the process was. From the first meeting in advance to the information during the stay. Gladly again!”

“My dog, Bo, visited Chelsea for the first time today. We are going away in March and in need of boarding for him so wanted to get some visits in with Chelsea beforehand to ensure he was going to be ok. I was a little nervous as Bo has never done anything like this before but Chelsea was extremely responsive in messages and today went great! I really appreciated the regular updates including photos and Bo really enjoyed his time with Chelsea today. We now have many more visits booked in. Thank you Chelsea, highly recommended!!”

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 :-)
“Lily and Frida made themselves at home judging by the photos Jake sent! They had a lovely walk and seemed very happy when I collected them. Jake and his partner are attentive doggie carers and I have no hesitation in leaving the girls in their care.”
“Brook stepped in a very short notice to look after Nellie and treated Nellie as if she was her own dog! I would highly recommend Brook and family, she sent photos of how Nellie settled in Really appreciate Brook Thank you 5 stars from me and will definitely use her again when in the area X”
“Been looking for a dog sitter for our very shy Lhasa, Wendy was very thoughtful and caring with Truffle and really took her time to go at Truffle pace. I’m sure Truffle is looking forward to her next visit and playing with all the toys !”
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 Louise, and caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and, until a couple of years ago, our family shared our home with our much-loved Bulldog, who brought us endless happiness. Losing him left a huge gap in our lives, and we really miss having a dog around the house. Looking after dogs isn’t just something I do – it’s something I genuinely love. Every dog has its own personality, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know them so they feel safe, relaxed and happy while they’re with me. To make sure I can provide the highest standard of care, I have completed Canine First Aid training and Dog Behaviour training. This means I understand how to recognise signs of stress, communicate with dogs appropriately, and respond calmly if an emergency were ever to arise. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, cuddles on the sofa or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I’ll make sure they receive the individual care and attention they deserve. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet, so I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My aim is simple: to provide a safe, loving home-from-home where your dog is treated as one of the family. I would be honoured to care for your pet as if they were my own. I work from home and I carefully manage my bookings so every dog receives plenty of time, attention and companionship. My daughter Tia who is currently studying equine management and loves animals, also works with me which means your pet is never just another booking. We offer flexible boarding, overnight stays and holiday care, with lots of playtime, cuddles, enrichment and regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe, loving hands. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing are always our top priorities. We have a secure, fully enclosed garden and provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like part of the family. I’ve owned dogs since childhood and completed canine first aid and dog behaviour training, so I’m confident caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities. We only take a maximum number of two dogs from the same household at a time to ensure every pet receives individual attention, and we’ll always follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule and any special instructions to help them feel completely at home.

I have a fenced Garden for doggy daycare and make use of all security measures when sitting in your home. My house is fully enclosed

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Arun on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,695 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Arun. About 86% 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 .
