About: Caring friendly nature that even nervous pets warm to which I allow at their pace, confident around Dogs especially afore mentioned. Initial introduction is my speciality as was proven when visiting friends in the North East that have 2 x reactive rescue dogs within 10-15 minutes managed to gain the trust of both dogs and had a faboulous long weekend with my new fury family Due to my work with sepecial education I find myself free during school holidays and I appreciate how some familys find it hard to move the Fur Babbies into strange enviroments especially without the usual rountines or family away on holiday My speciality is looking after pets and house sitting which seems to be getting more and more difficult for families that really require this specialist service I have offered this service for friends and family for many years, when I Iooked to live in France permanantly and set up a business I have provided this service and had great feedback Unfortunatly due to personal cicumstances and Brexit I have returned to live in the UK I only offer this service During School Holidays when i am not working myself, when looking after Pets / Homes this gets my full priority I like keeping fit by walking so a win win Looking after your pets in your home is a privelage as I do not have pets myself due to my work in special education & only able to look after pets in school holidays. I believe that this causes families with pets extra anxiety when the school holidays come around as not all staycation accomadation take pets, with new regulations travelling to europe with Dogs has also become so much harder since Brexit. Some people find it hard relaxing whilst on holiday not only about their pets but also security in the home My good friends always say they can relax on holiday when I look after there pets and their house which gives me a great feeling that I am helping people to get some much needed relaxation that normally would struggle to get away I am well travelled and I like to visit different places gaining new adventures which helps me to relax, I also pride myself on being organised and looking after the family home when people are away as well as the pets, fully capable of dealing with any of those unexpected life challenges that come along
“Amelia is a dog whisperer - our normally shy pup was immediately comfortable with her and it made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. We'd recommend Amelia to anyone, and will definitely be back in touch next time we need someone to look after Isla.”
“I would highly recommend Mia looking after your animals. I recieved updates straight after visits Much to my surprise, my cat who is scared of everyone, came out on most feeding visits to say hello to her, which was lovely to see in photos. I will definitely be reaching out again”
About: I am a cat owner who would like to go on dog walks but my cats are terrified of dogs! I have a full time job I would just like to get some vitamin D and fresh air and maybe not walk alone I work at night time so I rarely see the sun and want to enjoy it when I can. As I work nights I can do early mornings and late evenings to drop in on animals or walk dogs. I have three cats ranging from strictly indoor, mixed and strictly outdoor. They have dietary needs and medications so I am equipped to handle that.
“Isobel did a fantastic job looking after our kitten for two days. Communication was excellent throughout, and she kept us updated with photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our kitten was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isobel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you!”
“Daisy was absolutely amazing. So responsive, happy to oblige with reasonable requests (such as watering our garden!), and sent daily updates with photos and videos of our cat. She suggested a meet and greet ahead of booking, and when we spoke to her, she was a lovely person and we felt instantly comfortable with having her come to the house to stop in for our cat. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again if and when we need a sitter again! 5 stars, 10/10, 100% recommend.”
“We can’t recommend Maddie enough! We have a reactive rescue dog who is very wary of strangers, so finding the right sitter has been really important to us. Maddie has been incredibly calm, patient and understanding from the very first meeting. She took everything at Remy’s pace, and thanks to her gentle approach, he’s already gone from barking at a stranger to happily taking treats, sitting next to her on the sofa and enjoying strokes. She’s kind, reliable and clearly has a real understanding of dogs. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Rebecca is wonderful. Great communication and flexible to our needs. Our dog loved her, he has separation anxiety and doesn’t feel comfortable being left with many people. How quickly he settled with Rebecca is testament to her nature and skill with dogs. Will definitely be using her services again :)”
“Jess is our go-to for our excitable bull terrier. Jess is always quick to respond, send us updates during the drop-in and was able to help out last minute on this occasion. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jess and use her in future.”

I can do whatever is asked of me, including taking bins out, drawing curtains etc if needed. I am fully DBS checked and am reliable.
About: Hi I’m Niyah, I’m 24 and local in the Cumbria area! Trusting someone new with your beloved pet can be scary, at the end of the day they’re part of the family and a big responsibility, so here’s why I would be a wonderful sitter for your furry friend.

I know the importance of your pets physical and mental stimulation and I am spending my time studying animal care to gain knowledge and more experience in what I love ! I’m currently working full time but alternating shift patterns and frequent days off, so I have plenty of time to visit your furry friend and take care of them wether it’s a nice long walk or an indoor play, feed, bathe or a sitter I will always be around and happy to help. My availability is frequent but please do ask in advance so i can ensure I will be there for you consitantly , I can only provide home sitting for 1 night at a time due to working commitments. I will be providing care for your pets within your home to ensure they are in a comfortable and familiar environment with all of their toys, snacks and necessities right at hand at all times and this will also make it easier for you as no need to bring them anywhere, I can also provide things of my own if requested. If your pet is requiring a walk or will be taken out of your home I can ensure that your pet will be kept safe on a lead and a trusted familiar route and I will always have a water bowl and a ball to chase on me so that this walk is the most fun your dog will have in the day!

“Lauren visited our house to look after our cats and rabbit whilst we were away. She was clearly very caring and attentive to the needs of the animals. She sent updates and even some pictures which was reassuring to us to see happy pets! Would absolutely use Lauren again and recommend her to anyone requiring pet care.”

About: Looking after animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for is something that’s always felt very natural to me and something i will always find truly rewarding. Over the past 7 years, I’ve gained hands on experience through pet sitting and drop in visits, starting with family, friends, and neighbours, later progressing to providing care for a wide range of pets in the area including dogs, cats, senior animals, and even rabbits, building confidence with different needs, ages, and personalities. I’ve owned cats myself and have regularly cared for others from kitten age through to adulthood. I also volunteered at a boarding kennel for several months, where I worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments. During this time, I developed valuable skills in building trust and providing reassurance, particularly with more anxious or nervous dogs. I have my own dog, Lola, who I care for daily and overall my pet sitting experience has allowed me to work more closely with dogs in a home environment, adapting to their individual routines and temperaments. I’m currently working towards a qualification in Animal Management, specialising in canine and feline behaviour and management, which supports my ability to understand and respond to each pet’s unique needs. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to provide care that works around you and your pet’s needs. Whether you require regular visits, or more consistent 24 hour care, I’m happy to accommodate wherever possible. I’m based in the Felpham area and am more than willing to travel within the surrounding areas to provide reliable, loving care. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, and i love every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working towards a qualification in Animal Management with a focus on canine and feline behaviour and management. This helps me better understand and meet each pet’s individual needs to make sure their environment remains as comfortable as possible. My aim is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets overnight, taking them on a walk or just popping in to check up on them. With prior experience in housekeeping, I also ensure that any home I visit is kept clean, tidy, and well looked after so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Gemma is a fantastic pet sitter to use if you ever need one. Excellent communication throughout the whole process and she makes you feel at ease knowing your pet is being taken perfect care of. Gemma is so thoughtful and we cannot recommend her enough to anyone considering using her!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Arun
Apollo was a bit nervous of Sarah at first, but she soon charmed him with plenty of head scratches! It was reassuring to receive photos and videos of him at each visit, as well as a detailed 'report card' detailing how he was doing. Sarah spent at least 45 mins with Apollo each visit, and followed our instructions to the letter. Although he missed us, he was happy and relaxed when we got home. We will definitely book Sarah again!
Daisy was great! Reliable, on time, tidy, and attentive to our cat. It was our first time leaving our boy for a short trip away. Diasy gave him the company that he needed, some extra wet food to eat, and cleaned his tray. Daisy kept us updated on when she arrived and left and sent us photos. Jacob, our cat took to her really well which was reassuring for us. Would highly recommend Daisy, she was great from start of booking to end, thanks so much again.
We can’t recommend Maddie enough! We have a reactive rescue dog who is very wary of strangers, so finding the right sitter has been really important to us. Maddie has been incredibly calm, patient and understanding from the very first meeting. She took everything at Remy’s pace, and thanks to her gentle approach, he’s already gone from barking at a stranger to happily taking treats, sitting next to her on the sofa and enjoying strokes. She’s kind, reliable and clearly has a real understanding of dogs. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!

Rebecca is wonderful. Great communication and flexible to our needs. Our dog loved her, he has separation anxiety and doesn’t feel comfortable being left with many people. How quickly he settled with Rebecca is testament to her nature and skill with dogs. Will definitely be using her services again :)
I was away for the weekend and was looking for someone last minute to look after my dog for a short chunk of time. Mia was responsive, punctual, professional and so kind with my 2.5 year old cavapoo. I'm always nervous leaving my dog with someone I haven't met before but I couldn't have been happier with Mia. I would heartily recommend her!

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 Arun 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.
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.

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 Arun 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.

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 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.
