About: Having grown up with 2 dogs and over 5 years experience dog and cat sitting with long term stays and regular dog walks. I have a lot of knowledge and a lot of love to give. I am working from home and I am really active so enjoy to walk a lot around the city and on the beach. I enjoy exploring new areas and walking in the downs. I am working remote so I am really available to make sure the animal is safe at my home and doesn’t feel lonely. I can also manage my planning to come and visit your home at any time that is necessary.

Ollie had a great time with Mairi! Mairi was absolutely brilliant and keeping us in the loop with photos and videos. She was able to accommodate specific feeding times as well has giving Ollie medication. In short Ollie has a new best friend. Would recommend and will definitely book again!

About: Hi there! My name is Ellen and I'm originally from Australia! I'm missing my dog back home and would love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I've owned dogs throughout my life and have experience petsitting for neighbours and family friends. Our family got our first dog when I was 7 and he lived for 14 years in our care. This has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages. My family recently got a puppy, so I also know how to care for a puppy still learning the basics of obedience. I am more than willing to look after puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. I'm happy to do home visits, dog walks and dog sit overnight. I'll give your dog plenty of love and cuddles. I unfortunately cannot look after your dog in my place, but am willing to travel to your home to give your dog the best care possible. I'm missing my dog at home and would love to care for your dog when you need someone reliable. Please get in touch if you're interested in my services in the Brighton area. I am currently engaged in full-time work, so I have good availability on weeknights and all day on weekends. I am more than willing to accept last minute bookings. Please note, that I work in office Mondays and Tuesdays every week. This means that I cannot petsit during working hours on those days. I cannot currently care for pets in my own home. I am willing to adapt to the pet owner's home based on what they have already established with their pet (e.g. allowed outside at certain times).

About: Hello! We're Erin and AJ. Erin - I grew up surrounded by animals in a small village up north. I have a passion for dogs due to their innate loyalty and loving nature. I have experience training and caring for all types of breeds, and have travelled round the country so have experience and flexibility to environments and owners needs.

I also currently work at Sealife Brighton! So I am working everyday hands on with all sorts of animals, my favourite at work however are the black tip reef sharks. I am currently working part time and freelance, so I am very flexible to any employers needs. I can do early morning walks or overnight work. I am a calm and colourful individual able to alter my care for each animals need. I have a pet friendly property, a one bed, spacious, basement flat with a enclosed outdoor space for easy accessibility. Living in central Brighton making spots such as queens park a 10 minute walk whilst being in an easy accessible spot.

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 love animals and am an experienced cat and dog sitter that will treat your pet like part of my family when you are away, hosting them in my cosy and safe house and garden as the only guest. Please note: I have a gentle but curious *2 year old toddler*, so your pet must be ok with young children! I have lived with cats and dogs for the last 20 years, and also looked after a range of other pets including fish, hamsters, rabbits and turtles, taking responsibility for walkies, feeding, washing, administering medications and lots and lots of petting. I am a soft and cuddly person with animals, but will also respect their personal space if they want to be left alone. I work from home 4 days a week while my toddler is at nursery, so would be able to look after your pet in a quiet environment and do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can also do drop in visits/walkies either during the day or with my toddler in the carrier. For hosting, your pet needs to be ok with young children. I am very relaxed with pets in my home, happy for them to sit on the sofa or lie in bed with me, but also happy to settle them in a crate or in their bed if that is what they are used to. I will take them out for walks on the lead, to a local enclosed doggy park where they can be off lead, and can also visit your home for walkies and petting breaks. I have wide availability so can look after your pet at any time you need, including drop in visits and walkies. I work from home and my baby is at nursery Mon-Thursday, so your pet will have my full attention during the day. I have a fenced garden and live with just my toddler, and with no other pets. Your pet will have my undivided love and attention! I'm happy to have your pet on any of my furniture, or to keep the same rules the you have at home. If they sleep in a crete or outside the bedroom, I have a safe, warm and peaceful space for them to stay, including a cosy sofa or spare guest bed.

About: As an experienced sitter and walker, I bring a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their individual needs. I’ve grown up around dogs and now share my life with two of my own, so I understand how much they’re part of the family. Over the years I’ve gained specific experience caring for dogs with anxiety – offering calm, patient companionship and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and settled. My schedule is completely flexible, which means I can be there when you need me – whether that’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays in your home. I’m happy to follow any special instructions and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and cared for. Whether you have a playful pup or a nervous rescue, I’ll treat them like my own. I work completely remote Mon - Fri so can be as flexible as you need. I am also available on weekends. I spend a large amount of my spare time walking in nature, and to have a dog (or two) with me is such a treat for me too. I am not currently offering boarding in my own home due to my dog recently having surgery. However I am available for pet sitting in your home.

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!

About: I have had pets as long as I can remember and have often looked after the pets of friends and family. I have also previously volunteered at animal shelters and sanctuaries. I work remotely full time so I have a good deal of flexibility with my schedule and can work in drop-in visits mornings, afternoons and evenings. I will be sure to follow all pet care instructions and will provide time for play and photos to send while you’re away. I have three pets of my own (dog and cats) so I am familiar with all types and personalities!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs at home, where my days were regularly spent walking the dogs, cuddling up on the sofa or sharing my bed with a furry friend or two. I regularly house sit for my sister who has three Cocker Spaniels, taking them for beach or woodland walks and giving them lots of snuggles and love. I'm always conscious of not leaving pets alone at home for too long and understand that some are unable to be left alone due to their separation anxiety. I have also house sat for a couple via Trusted Housesitters, looking after their Jug (Jack Russell x Pug) for four days in their flat. On top of that, I work for a dog charity and occassionally foster pups that we are trying to rehome. I live in a pet and child-free flat in Seven Dials, Brighton. We don't have a garden however we have an enclosed shared patio for my apartment building and I live walking distance to various green spaces including St Ann's Well Gardens, Hove Park and Preston Park. I'm also a 20 minute walk to the beach. I work in marketing and my office in Seven Dials 5 minutes from my flat. I do a mix of office and work from home and have some flexibility, so if there is ever a week day in my calendar where I’m unavailable you can still reach out as I may occasionally able to move my days around. Working from home means I have plenty of time to give a pet lots of love, cuddles, as well as take them out regularly for toilet breaks and walks. I live in a spacious three bedroom flat which pets will be allowed to roam freely. I have no issues with pets sleeping in a bed within my room, on my bed or on the furniture. If needed, I can keep dogs enclosed in the kitchen whenever I am out of the house. I am happy to follow individual owner's rules when in their home to ensure their pet's routine is maintained. I don't have any pets and won't accept more than one pet owner at a time so you can feel reassured that your pet(s) would have my undivided attention.

My cat is usually very nervous around new people and tends to run and hide, but from day one he was happily taking treats from her. He normally won't take food from anyone new, so that alone says everything about how gentle and patient she is with cats. She also followed every request perfectly, from leaving the lights on to all the little details I asked for. When I came home, I found Mario wasn't hiding, and didn't show the sign of stress. With some people he's been frightened and hiding when I return, so this was a huge relief. Thanks very much for your effort and care. I recommend her to anyone who has a shy cat.

Excellent all round. Balbina is obviously very good with animals because she forged an immediate connection with our not always overly-friendly cat when she came to collect the keys. She was communicative, reliable and a pleasure to deal with but, most of all, she took the time to make sure the cat was happy. She provided plenty of photos and clips of a very happy cat being stroked and petted. It's reassuring to know that your treasured family member is being cared for by someone who loves animals as much as you. Highly recommended.

Giulia is a wonderful cat carer, who looked after my old cat, Charlotte, brilliantly. I would highly recommend her as she was very kind to Charlotte, who clearly liked her immediately, was very prompt in responding to my texts and gave me very precise feedback about Charlotte, including lovely videos and photos. Giulia was so kind and thoughtful that she even collected some birthday flowers from a local shop that would definitely have died in the heatwave, without her help. Exceptional cat care - many thanks!

It was the first time we used Amanda for our two cats Poppy and Daisy. She came for a visit prior to us heading off on holiday and gave the cats some treats and a good stroke. She was reassuring and clearly had a lot of experience with cats. Whilst we were away we were very reassured seeing her check ins and the photos she shared of the cats looking very relaxed and happy with her.

I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. I was able to completely relax on holiday knowing my cats were in Tamara's care. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and her communication was excellent throughout. Tamara genuinely loves animals. She spent quality time with my cats, played with them, and paid attention to every detail of their care. I trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She's truly a dream cat sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Brighton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brighton on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of July 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 1,111 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Brighton. About 93% 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.
