“Andi has looked after our cats on two different occasions at this point and both times our girls looked so happy and relaxed! Andi is communicative and flexible, listens to our worries and to the cats needs and makes sure to give cats lots of cuddles and play time!Will be definitely work with Andi again and couldn’t recommend her more!!!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3, and looked after dogs of all different sizes and ages, from 10 weeks up to 16 years old! I’m a huge dog lover who will always send updates and photos of your fur baby while you’re away. I do have experience with seniors as my own dog, Honey, lived to 16 years old, and I’m well versed in arthritis care. I have also done some guide dog reinforcement training in the past. I’m currently working freelance so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dog, I can take them on walks and I have plenty of time to give them the attention and care they need all day. I live in a dog-friendly flat. I don’t have a garden but there is a huge park right outside my front door, as well as the beach, so I can easily take them out for toilet breaks, walks, and play time all day. The flat I live in is extremely secure and safe for dogs of all ages and can be tailored to puppy and senior specific needs if necessary.
“Sam was fantastic with our cat Mila! From the first visit we have had loads of photos, updates, and have been completely at ease whilst on holiday with Sam dropping in. It is obvious she is great with cats and takes a lot of care in looking after them. Mila was always visited very promptly, Sam played with her and entertained her and litter etc was cleaned daily! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and are hoping she is free next time we are going away. Thank you!!”

About: I used to work with a local dog walker/boarder and mixed with plenty of doggos during this time! I’ve also had dogs in my family since I was a child! A Dalmatian, Chihuahuas, Jack Russel x Chihuahua’s, and more recently a lovely Frenchie. However, I currently am unable to have a pet of my own due to the demands of my degree. I love animals, and you can be sure that your pet will be the centre of my attention whilst I am with them! I am a full-time mature BSc student in Brighton, which takes up about 3 days a week and I usually work 1 day at my job during term times. Due to these commitments, I am sadly unable to have a pet of my own. My flexibility will vary depending on my schedule, which from September, I should be aware of at least 5 weeks in advance. I will easily fit in time with your furry friends during these commitments, and maybe they can help me to study! I live in a ground floor flat with access to our own secure outdoor space, however, this is stones and decking but plenty of space for sniffing and roaming around, or lounging in the sun with me when we’re not out on a walk! A well-behaved dog will have access to all spaces, including my bedroom. We live a very short walk from plenty of local dog-friendly parks in Hove, and a little further is the beach! Please note that I am not comfortable with off-lead walks, happy to use long training leads, etc, unless in a very secure area. I want to keep your pet safe and secure the entire time!

“We have been repeat customers for Eli and we are very happy with her. Our dogs love her. Eli is very reliable and trustworthy. She understands our dogs needs and is flexible around their needs. We highly recommend Eli and will definitely book her again. Thanks Eli!”

About: I love animals and am an experienced cat and dog sitter that will treat your pet like part of my family, hosting them in my cosy and safe house and garden as the only guest. Please note: I have a gentle but curious *3 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.

Im currently working 2 days a week online at home so I am home 7 days a week for the whole day. So I’m super available, my house is spacious with a lovley garden, and also surrounded by dog friendly parks and beautiful walks! Ive had dogs all my life so it’s very natural for a dog or cat to be at home. I’m comfortable with assuring your pet is fed, watered, walked and entertained for their full time with me. My house is very calm as well as it’s just me during the day, so your pet will have a stress free time. I’m also comfortable with medical assistance for pets as I’m really experienced with dogs and cats in medical emergencies etc.
“Brilliant. Thank you so much for being surrogate to our lovely old lady. Taking on board and half blind half deaf dog without a break in your stride. So happy we found you. Thanks”


About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have grown up around pets — both cats and dogs. I'm vegan and genuinely care deeply about animal wellbeing. Recently, I looked after my sister-in-law’s small, nervous dog for three weeks, including supporting crate training and settling into a calm routine, which we absolutely loved. That experience is what inspired me to join Rover. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to giving every pet a safe, relaxed, and caring experience. I currently work from home, which means I’m around during the day to look after furry pals, including short walks or check-ins at lunch. I’m also available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding during the evenings in the week. At weekends I’m very flexible and, when free, would love to spend time with pets then too. This flexibility means I can fit pet care naturally into my daily routine and give animals plenty of attention rather than rushing visits. I live in a one-bedroom flat with laminate floors and a small fenced garden. I work from home, so I can keep an eye on your furry friend throughout the day and give them all the attention they need — whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or even some late-night Netflix binging together! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines to make sure they feel comfortable and at home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 9 years old. I grew up in Bali so I’m quite used to having a lot of dogs, I had 6 at one point in my life. Apart from having my own dogs I also dog sit for family and friends. Most of the time it would long term, 1-2 weeks at a time. However, I can also dogsit for a weekend with no problem. I know all pets have varying personalities so I try my hardest to understand them and bond with each one. I can take care of elderly dogs as well. I had a beagle and shih tzu growing up and they both reached the age of 14! I’m no stranger to making sure seniors are well looked after :) I work part time at a cafe in the laines so my hours are very flexible. I usually have a big portion of the day free. My week changes on a weekly basis, so I have lots of days free for dog sitting which I love! I’ve recently moved right next to the pier so the beach is a stone throw away. I have quite a large flat so there’s plenty of space for a couple of pets. I also have a fenced of roof/balcony Terrace with some grass, this is perfect for late night toilet runs! Although I always prioritize going for a real walk, there’s lots of parks nearby and of course the beach. Pets are allowed on the furniture.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life, with experience caring for cats and dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours.

About: I grew up on a farm constantly surrounded by lots of animals, especially dogs where I had to care for up to 16 in our farms kennels! I love the company of animals and the joy they bring whilst giving them good quality care. I have a part time job therefore I am quite flexible to care and walk your adorable pet. I’m happy to accommodate to yours and your dogs needs! I also have a car so I can take your pet on longer walks if they are high energy. I often like going to devils dyke and the Seven Sisters on walks!

I can feed, walk and give your pet company as and when you need. I have a safe environment and lots of parks nearby to take your pet on lovely walks and to play.

“We ended up arranging a dog sitting service last minute, but Samuel was so quick to respond that everything was easy to sort out. When he came round to meet our dog he was great with him, and when we were out the arranged visits all went as planned with updates and photos all as expected. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog and we are very pleased to have found Samuel to help out at such short notice!”

About: Hey everyone! Grace has grown up with 2 dogs and has over 5 years experience dog and cat sitting with long term stays and regular dog walks. Ludel grew up with different type of dogs as well and he has been doing pet sitting and dog walking for 7 years now! We 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.
“Ting is so great with my two rescues! They can be very neurotic in their own special ways haha and she handles them wonderfully, they were very happy, fed and tired out when I got home :) Thanks so much!”


About: Hi, I'm an experienced pet sitter with nearly 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. During that time, I've completed overnight stays, week-long house sits, and drop-in visits, always ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, as well as adhering to any instructions left by their owners. I have experience caring for pets with separation anxiety and know the importance of providing extra patience, reassurance, and attention to help them feel relaxed while you're away. I'm reliable, responsible, and respectful of your home and your pet. I can also have pets at my flat in Brighton which is equipped for small, medium and large dogs. I pride myself on being clean, organised, and trustworthy, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are in safe hands. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your pets receive the care, affection, and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours while you're away. I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays so I am free all day to look after your pet, meet their walking, feeding, toileting and fussing needs! The rest of the weekday I work from a dog friendly office, so I can take your dog in with me if they are content with other dogs (two very calm snoozy pooches). I live in a clean, dog friendly flat (we regularly have dogs to stay and they are always happy and content). My flat is a stone's throw away from Preston Park which is super easy and convenient for walks. I also have a small communal front garden where I can easily take pets out for the toilet. If staying in someone else's home, I am excellent at following instructions for pet care and super respectful of your environment.
“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.”
“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!”

Annabel has been visiting Sunday regularly for the past month, they have been incredible with my dog’s additional needs (including researching how to pick her up safely) and go above and beyond to help her feel calm. Sunday is now so excited to see her new friend and I am confident she is being well looked after.
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 💜

We were really happy with the care our dog, Lina received from Lana. Lana was able to look after our dog in our own home which meant that they could stay in familiar surroundings. Lana took Lina for a walk around the neighbourhood and seemed very happy when we returned. We would happily recommend Lana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter and we would be happy to have Lana look after Lina again.
Oona was happy to meet for a meet and greet before the first sit, and when it came to the actual sit, she was punctual, reliable and communicative and sent photos of the dogs while they played and hung out together. I’d definitely recommend Oona. I knew my dogs were in good hands with her. I’ll hopefully use her services again soon!

Eleanor is fantastic with our cocker spaniel, really reliable, friendly, professional and sends updates / gives peace of mind. Alfie loves her and she’s been great at adjusting the visits for walks to playing/ enrichment based on the weather / what Alfie needs. Would definitely recommend :)

Kendall is a fabulous dog sitter 🌟 It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and Kendall made us feel so comfortable, with getting to know us before & sending us updates throughout the visit. We can tell Ozzy had a lovely time with Kendall (and misses her already!) Our dog has a very specific routine that Kendall stuck to to make him comfortable. We would definitely recommend Kendall & will book with her again in the future 🤗

Johanna’s first two one hour visits with Sookie went really well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take a bit of time to warm up to new people. But with Johanna, she seemed to get very comfortable very quickly. Approaching her, choosing to lie near her, and having a snooze. And then on the second visit she put her head on her legs! Johanna has taken things at Sookie’s pace and my dog has quickly felt safe and happy with her.

After a successful couple of meet & greets, Beth’s first one hour visit seemed to go well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take time to warm up to new people. Although she wasn’t brave enough to approach Beth that day, she was comfortable and relaxed enough to have a snooze while she was there. Which shows that she isn’t overly worried about Beth, who didn’t try to push things too fast and went at Sookie’s pace, allowing her to feel that relaxed she could close her eyes. Very happy with Beth and her knowledge of handling nervous dogs.
