“Absolute miracle worker of a cat sitter! Toni looked after my normally quite shy and anxious 1.5 year old cat and low and behold, she’s not shy at all now! I was so pleased to see not only my cat being well looked after in terms of food etc but how playful she was and totally at ease with Toni. Toni sent lots of pics and vids and honestly just made my whole holiday ten times better. I will 100% be booking again!”
“Anoushka was great! Quick to respond and set something up with us at short notice, then incredibly helpful with our 6 month old puppy Stevie. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Our puppy absolutely loves Jamie - he’s the best dog whisperer I’ve ever met! He went out of his way to help me when I was in a pinch during the heatwave, and we’re so glad to have met him. He has the most amazing knowledge of dogs and how to train them and I knew Lumi was in safe, kind hands. Thank you Jamie from all of us 💜”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including my own and those of friends, family, and neighbors. I love spending time with dogs and cats—playing, walking, and giving lots of cuddles. I always make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved! 🐾💛 I’m a master’s student with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of love and attention! I offer personalized care for each furry friend—playtime, cuddles, and walks—all tailored to make them happy and safe while you’re away. I take care of pets in their own homes with lots of love and attention, following their routines and habits. I also send daily updates with photos so owners can see their furry friends happy and safe!
About: I grew up with pets, my family all have pets and I have my own dog who is now 7. I enjoy walking, petting, playing and sitting for dogs. I'm happy to look after cats and other pets too however if I was pet sitting I would need to bring my own dog along. I have worked in the care sector for almost 20 years at times caring for clients and their pets! I'm an easy going person, empathetic and compassionate. I am currently setting up my own counselling business and intend on working from home. I'm open to pet sitting in a way that flexibly works around my business. As I live in shared accommodation I won't be offering to have pets stay in my home. I would stay with your pet in your home and follow whatever routines you have for them.
“We had the pleasure of having Balbina take care of our cat while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was incredibly kind and reliable. Our cat was clearly very happy to see her and looked completely relaxed and well cared for in all the photos she regularly sent us — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Balbina is not only great with animals, but also a genuinely sweet and lovely person. We’d absolutely love to work with her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you so much for the cats feeding and looking after it meant so much to me and the cleaning out of the world. If I could do, it’s 11 out of 10 super.🙌🙌👍👍”
“Oona was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with our cat, and made sure to keep us updated with a combination of photos and videos throughout her visits. Oona followed the instructions exactly as we had asked and did a fantastic job at ensuring our cat was both well taken care of and more importantly, kept her happy and safe. I would recommend Oona to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Maud had a wonderful afternoon with Valentina walking up on the downs with some doggy pals. This was Maud’s first dog walk without us since she was adopted and she loved it! We are going to have to up our walking game because this was brilliant!”
“Andra was an absolute gem while caring for my three cats! From the moment we booked her on Rover, she was incredibly responsive and made sure to learn each cat’s individual quirks and routines. Throughout the entire stay, she provided frequent updates and photos, so I always knew my furry family was safe and happy. She spent time playing with them, made sure they had plenty of fresh water and clean litter, and gave them lots of love and attention. It was clear she treated each cat as if they were her own. I came home to three relaxed, content kitties—which is all a pet parent could ask for! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional, I highly recommend Andra for any of your pet-sitting needs.”
About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from high-strung Schnauzers, cuddly labradoodles to majestic Beaucerons. In adulthood, I’ve become deeply involved in the Beauceron community, helping train and compete with our dogs at Crufts, participating in agility and sheep herding, and even taking part in man-trailing (which involved me hiding in the woods while my dog, Archer, tracked me down with impressive focus and dedication!). Thanks to consistent training and care, in 2022 Archer was awarded Beauceron of the Year by the Beauceron Club UK—a moment of great pride for our family. I am currently working from home so have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your furry friends. I can have availability on all days of the week with appropriate notice. I am a qualified teacher and have much experience caring for children following the guidance of their parents. This translates into caring for pets as I am sure to remain respectful and listen to each animal's requirements and follow the guidance from the owner. I am warm and patient and it is my top priority to ensure each animal feels safe and confident in my care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and other animals since I was very young, I’ve always been very good at connecting with them, which is why I went to Plumpton college to get my animal care diploma & my dog grooming qualification. Your animals will be very safe when they are with me, whether it be over night or just during the day. My passion is making sure all animals in my care are 100% happy and healthy. I have availability throughout the week, weekends & holidays. Please message if you have questions or would like to request care and I’ll get back to you asap. Animal welfare is extremely important to me so I do everything I can to make sure the animals in my care are happy, even if it means altering my own routine for them.
About: The biggest lover of dogs, professional cuddler and experienced with lots of breeds and ages! Whether your doggo has endless energy and needs huge walks and 4 hours of tug of war, or your elderly pup needs some gentle cuddles and a slow walk around the block, I’m there! Previous experience in looking after small and large breeds, shy and aggressive dogs, puppies and older dogs needing medication. I always customise my walks or stays based on what your dog likes best - whether that’s favourite walk routes, daily routines or how they like their treats served, every dog is different and I’m happy to adapt to their needs! I work mostly from home (3 days a week, on flexible days), and balance my work schedule around your dog walk and dog sitting needs. I’m also available weekends and evenings! I follow your guidance on how best to care for your pooch. As much information as you can give me beforehand helps to ensure minimal disruption for your dog, so we can stick as close as possible to their favourite routines!
“Absolutely incredible cat sitter ⭐ Mariam looked after my cat for a week while I was on holiday. She looked after my little princess and sent me loads of photos and a detailed Rover Card each day which really put my mind at rest while I was away. I came back to a well respected home and a very happy kitty!”
“Sofía looked after my cat when I was away on a short trip, and I’m very happy with her service. She responded quickly to the booking, came over beforehand to check on everything, and was warm and loving to Nnedi. Can definitely recommend, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Sofia!”

Genna is professional, friendly and very easy to deal with. Most importantly she was wonderful with our cat Lilou who is an affectionate little cat who needs much cuddles and attention. Lilou took to Genna instantly and you could tell she is proficient in understanding 'cat'. Thank you for taking such good care of Lilou whilst we were away. We would highly recommend Genna for cat sitting duties!
Sophie looked after our two ragdolls for a week. Was always around twice daily like clockwork, great communication and most importantly for us, connected with both our cats, who whilst super friendly with us can be very wary of strangers. This really helped us feel reassured that Lila and Pixie were not only safe but also connecting with Sophie and happy. We will definitely book with Sophie again!!
I booked Joanne for 4 days and my Cat's were happy in her Company as she played with them and feed them - she also sent Videos and pictures which I appreciated a lot- while texted me about any issue's she need to understand- that was all I need. Thanks Joanne.
Sam was amazing! As soon as she popped over to visit us I felt safe and trusting leaving her to look after Beej. She was super fast to respond, punctual, communicative, followed instructions well and sent us lots of lovely photos so we knew Beej was happy. Will rebook very soon, thank you again!
Catherine has a good vibe and Sindri was comfortable with her from the first day. She sends pics updates however it is not "staged" she does not spend most of the session taking footage for socia lmedia purposes. She was very much hands on with my reserved cat and he loved being brush-massaged by her, which is is top favourite thing. The instructions left were followed, Catherine stayed a good amount of time; I'm a professional pet sitter and dog trainer myself, and I believe Catherine enjoys being with the pets as much as I do, so Its not all about cash. She also came alone, which reassures me as other previous pet sitters thought it was fine to come with an un-vetted spouse or friend, which also spooked my cat. Really comfortable with Catherine looking after my Sindri.
Nicola is amazing, she has managed to befriend our two rescue cats that are scared of everyone and everything. The improvement in confidence from Twiggy and Winnie is incredible, they used to hide under the bed but now they come downstairs and play. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Ariana was absolutely amazing with Toby and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after him. From the moment she first visited, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated with loads of lovely photos and messages, spent proper time with him, played with him, brushed him, refreshed his food and water and made sure everything was sorted each visit. Toby can be a little fussy and very particular, but he clearly adored Ariana and looked so happy and relaxed with her. We came home to a very happy cat and an immaculate flat. Ariana went above and beyond and made being away from Toby so much easier for us. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Ronnie and Jennifer are real cat lovers, and we had no hesitation to give them the responsibility to visit daily and take care of our cats whilst we were on vacation. They sent regular updates, and are reliable, trustworthy and kind people. We would highly recommend them, and we’ll be sure to ask them to help us again in future. Thanks Ronnie & Jennifer, we hugely appreciate what you have done for us.
Can’t recommend Andrea enough :) We received regular pictures, videos and Andrea was really communicative throughout. We felt super comfortable knowing Buffy was so well looked after! We came home to a very happy cat, and would definitely have Andrea look after her again in future!
Charlotte was so sweet with our cat, spent a lot of time observing and playing with her, and was very courteous in our home. She also gave her medication efficiently. Her updates are great and we felt like we could relax while we were away. Even though our cat has quite severe anxiety issues, she was calm and happy! Thank you so much!

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brighton on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,318 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Brighton. About 90% of Brighton 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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. 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.
