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. I can be a companion for your pet or take care of them at home whilst you are busy!

About: I’ve always lived with cats since I was a kid. I was on trusted Housesitters for a couple of years and looked after many dogs and cats. I frequently look after my friends dogs and cats when they go on holiday. I work from home so can work from pet owners homes. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my working day so can take dogs out for walks in the morning, lunch time or evening. I can accommodate your pets in your home in what ever way they need whether that be taking them for walks or letting them out into the garden.

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. AJ - I'm from Cornwall, and have grown up surrounded by animals too. I had a beautiful boxer growing up who helped encourage my energetic and playful personality. 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.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs at home and have always loved being around animals. I have a large home, so there is plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m also the person my friends and family trust to look after their dogs and cats whenever they need someone. I genuinely love animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, cuddles, playtime and care. I’m responsible, caring and always make sure pets feel happy, safe and at home. I’m not currently working full-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets. I occasionally work a few afternoons, but most of my time is flexible and I can give pets lots of attention and care. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, they’ll have plenty of space and a safe, comfortable environment. At the owner’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine and instructions so their pet feels comfortable and settled.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life, from my childhood cocker spaniel who I helped out with in his younger energetic years and into his older, unfortunately more sickly years, to the current family sprocker who, while adorable and loyal, is particularly timid due to experiences prior to our adoption of him. Over the years I have dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs similar to those that I've grown up with, but also those with extra needs in the form of anxiety and varied routines. While I hope to adopt a dog in the future, sadly at the moment I am not in a position to have a full-time pet, but would love the chance to be around, and care for animals in the meantime! So far through Rover I've had the opportunity to look after a variety of dogs (and some lovely cats) with different needs and requirements who you'll see scattered throughout the pictures on my profile and have loved spending time with all of them and getting the chance to explore more of the walkable local area in the process. I also volunteer with a local lost pet charity as a media and email admin, helping in efforts to reunite missing and lost pets with their families, and occasionally assisting with their stall at local events, such as the RSPCA dog show earlier this year. I currently work full-time in marketing from home, leaving plenty of extra time in my schedule to play with, monitor and exercise pets. While I do have a monthly visit to the office, the rest of my schedule is manoeuvrable and easy to work around. While I am unable to have a pet full-time in my current home, I've had pets my entire life, having had energetic spaniels who needed plenty of walks and playtime, to looking after more relaxed, affection-centred Italian greyhounds. While I do work weekdays, my job allows for pets to be besides me (or, as tends to happen, asleep on my knee) throughout the day allowing an easy balance of work and attention, with plenty of spots for exercise within walking distance, including a park with lots of trees to keep the temperature down on hotter days a few minutes away.
“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!”

About: I have had a varying range of dogs since a child. I have had a golden retriever, a french bulldog and a west highland terrier which I assisted in training and raised from a puppy. I have also had experience looking after friends dogs of all sizes and adult cats. I work from home monday to friday with plenty of time to be away from work to tend to your animals needs alongside plenty of free afternoons and nights. I am able to take animals out as frequently as needed, I also live near a lovely green which is ideal for any walks or activities.

About: I’ve had several dogs in my family across the years, including a golden retriever (m) and a jack Russell (f), as well as two cats a tabby (m), and a black cat (f). We still have our lovely black cat luna, and I recently got my mum our Freddie, who is a dachshund mixed with a cocker spaniel. I’ve got lots of experience looking after family friend dogs. I love going on long walks, or along the beach I work a 9 to 5 in central Brighton. I’m based in hove and walk to work every day, with time in the mornings and evenings to do walks or any general duties. Availability to home sit. If the home is situated near central Brighton I complete check ins/wee breaks and feeding during lunch times. Lots of availability across the weekends! I have a large fenced garden and a large park near by to my home to walk, as well as a 20 minute walk to the beach!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 3 years, with a special love and experience looking after cats when my friends were away. Back in Brazil, I had 4 cats and 2 sausage dogs who were part of my family, and I miss them every day, so it all started with friends letting me stay with their pets when I was homesick. This gave me valuable experience in feeding, playing, walking, and giving lots of love and attention to both cats and dogs. I always treat every animal as if they were my own, and I dare to stay that I also owned a seagull as I used to take care and feed (Beni) everyday 😂 all animals are special in my eyes. I work from home 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to stay in and play with dogs and follow a routine. Also available on weekends happy to care for your pet in your home, where they feel safe and relaxed. Happy to follow the schedule and rules they are used.
“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: Experienced dog sitter! I have looked after and been responsible for a wide range of dogs, all with different needs, requirements and temperaments. I understand this animal and their behaviour, feeding and toilet routines. I’m also a good listener and will respond to any advice given, and remember any information on feeding or toilet requirements (or anything else you might inform me on) I also understand the importance of a home being looked after. I worked as a part-time nanny during my studies and have fulfilled many babysitting duties before. I’ve also been booked for a week long house sit before, so I’ve been trusted many times with peoples homes. I work from home, so I have flexible hours. However weekends and evenings are preferable. Please just get in touch and we can discuss schedule further. It really depends on your dogs needs :) I have a garden in which I can let your pet out into frequently, my house is safe and pet friendly. I also live walking distance to nearby parks and own a car in which I can drive your pet if necessary.
“Balbina did a great job of caring for our two cats while we were away for Christmas and even helped with watering some of our plants. She is very friendly and attentive and I think the cats were relaxed with her. I would happily ask Balbina to help us again in the future :)”


“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!”

“Jaz helped us out with a couple of one-hour visits when we were away for the day. Our cat Fizz is comfortable in her company and seems relaxed and happy now that we're back home. Jaz followed feeding and play instructions and sent loads of photos and videos. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! I’m an IT professional currently studying and working from home in Brighton. Because I spend most of my days at my desk, I have a very flexible schedule, plenty of time for companionship, and I’m always eager for a refreshing walk break! My Story & Experience with Pets Growing up, animals were always a natural part of my life. I spent every summer at my grandmother’s countryside home surrounded by dogs and cats, which taught me from a young age how to read animal body language and care for them with patience and love. Over the years, I’ve had experience with various breeds and personalities: Personal Pet Parent: I previously owned two rescued mixed-breed dogs (a Dachshund mix and a Boxer mix, giving me a huge soft spot for both breeds and active pups). Co-living with Pets: While living in Oslo for 6 years, I shared an apartment with a Keeshond named Dibs. We went on daily walks to nearby parks and forests, so I’m very familiar with the day to day routine, grooming, and habits of living with a furry roommate. Trusted Dog Sitter: I regularly looked after my childhood friend’s Italian Scent Hound/Segugio Italiano (Samba), taking care of her during long weekends and extended stays. At this stage in my life, I'm not able to commit to a pet of my own, which is why Rover is the perfect fit for me. I truly miss having a dog around, and I’d love to shower yours with attention! Why Choose Me? 100% Remote & Focused: Studying from home means your pet won't be left alone. I'm responsible, well-organized, and my routine allows for lots playtime, and companionship next to my desk. Outdoor Enthusiast: I love hiking, long walks, and spending time in nature. Whether it's a brisk walk along the Brighton seafront or a relaxed stroll through Preston Park, I tailor our walks to your dog’s age, energy level, and preferences. Daily Updates: You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pet is happy, safe and well cared for. Respect for Your Rules: I always strictly respect your home rules, feeding schedules, training habits and any specific medication routines. I’d love to meet you and your pup for a quick Meet & Greet to see if we’re a great match! As a person who studying and working remotely from home, my routine is extremely flexible and predictable. Since I spend most of my day at my desk, pet care fits into my daily schedule rather than being squeezed in around fixed office hours. I take regular, refreshing walking breaks throughout the day along the Brighton seafront or in local parks like Preston Park. Your dog won't be left alone for long, and they'll have companionship while I work. Being remote means I can relocate my workspace to your home, keeping your pets in their familiar environment with 24/7 presence, quiet company, and dedicated care. Safety, clear communication, and respect for your home are my top priorities. I ensure a safe and stress free environment for every pet. I suggest a quick Meet & Greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, go over their personality, and house rules to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I strictly follow your exact feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication needs and behavioral training habits. In your home, I treat your space with complete respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. Dogs are kept securely on leads during walks unless we are in a fully fenced area and you’ve given explicit permission. I send regular, high-quality photos and video updates throughout the stay or visit so you always have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Brighton
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!

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.

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!
