Daphne was absolutely amazing with my little dog, she showed so much care and attention to her. Was available and keen to help out at last minute too. Highly recommend her and will definitely be returning to Brighton and using her lovely service again!

Flexible with times. Handover was smooth - no crying from an otherwise separation-anxious dog. I’m not sure he even noticed he was without us. Returned happy with a freshly warmed coat! Would recommend :)

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, I currently own a lovely and lively cocker springer cross, so I’m used to long walks and lots of energy. As well as dogs I’ve looked after smaller furry friends like rabbits, some chicken and even bees! I am lucky to live 10 minute from my job and my hours mean I always have weekends available. Can also do early morning walks and late afternoon check ins and walks. Overnight sitting is also available. Dogs especially are at the heart of the home, we have fenced in space in the centre of Brighton. 10 minutes from the beaches. Transport available to explore bigger more interesting parks

Sarah was fantastic with Max. Communication was great throughout, very responsive and friendly, and she clearly really cared about making sure he had a good day. Max came back very happy and relaxed after some great walks and attention. I can definitely see why she has so many positive reviews and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

As soon as Eddie was outside Laura's gate he was excited and 'pulling' to get through the gate. He rushed up the steps and then the stairs when the I opened the door, then straight into the flat. Clearly he was very happy and excited to be back. Different story when I went to pick him up, just vaguely interested in me and not bothered about leaving. So obviously he must have had a very happy day with Laura.

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 have always had pets since I was a little kid, mostly dogs. Therefore I am really experience and used to living with them. After I moved to the Uk to study I did not had the time and money to have my own dog, so I was on pet sitting apps for a while, since I love animals and I really missed my own. I used to have a Labrador really long ago and I was almost raised with him since I am an only child, I had to say goodbye to him when he turned 8 years old, since he got paralised from waist to legs and it was horrible to see him that way. After Brownie, my mom got a little Cocker named Lucas, I have lived with him for around 4 years and I get to see him every time I go back to visit my family in Spain! Hello! My name is Casilda, but everyone calls me Cas! I am Spanish and have been working since I was 16 years old, starting with part-time jobs and then moving on to full-time work as soon as I turned 18, mainly in different pubs around the UK. I am currently based in Brighton, where I work part-time on Friday and Saturday afternoons/evenings. The rest of the week I am completely free and usually spend my time at home, working on my own things and looking for opportunities related to my career. I finished my Architecture course last year and I am currently looking to complete my professional experience in the UK, so having plenty of free time during the week would also allow me to dedicate lots of time and attention to a pet! I am a very loyal, funny, responsible, hardworking and adventurous person. I love the outdoors, going for long walks and doing sports, so I would absolutely love having a furry companion to share some of these activities with! I think this would be a wonderful opportunity for me, as I absolutely love animals and have always had pets of my own back in Spain. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to have a pet in the UK because studying and working have left me with very little free time. Now that my schedule is more flexible, I would love to be able to take care of a pet and give them all the attention, love and company they need. I am also fully aware that having a pet is a huge responsibility, and I would take that responsibility very seriously. I treat pets as if they were mine, obviously with the instructions that I have been given by their owners. I am a very active person that’s always going for walks, running and also love to spend time with my friends at the park. I always take my dog with me and that’s how treat others too

About: I’ve been around dogs so much of my life; from having my own, living with them and more recently regularly looked after friends’ dogs while they’re away, from long weekends to full weeks. Kita, who is a husky mix, has been a regular fixture in my life and so I’m comfortable with bigger dogs. It’s something I genuinely look forward to and cherish my time together with them it’s not just a job on the side for me. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your routines, training methods, and any specific instructions to help them settle in comfortably. I’ll like to pay attention to how your dog reacts and adjust accordingly as dogs have their own personality and needs. I’ll send regular photo and video updates throughout, so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled with attention. Services I offer: Dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting are my main focus. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to fit walks and visits into your schedule. I can follow your walking routes and set times easily and make sure they are looked after. I’m happy to provide short weekend boarding for dogs who are comfortable in an apartment setting. I don’t have a private garden, but I live close to a park, so dogs staying with me still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention but I would rather this only be for short stays for the dogs own comfort. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to be happy, well cared for, and genuinely excited to see me next time. Hopefully we will become friends! Feel free to message me with any questions. I always like to arrange a quick meet-and-greet before booking, so we can go over any important details and get to know each other first; it helps everyone feel more at ease, especially your dog. I work from home most weekdays, which means I can give dogs plenty of company and regular attention throughout the day. I occasionally need to visit sites for work, but these are infrequent and I’ll only accept bookings that fit around my schedule. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, as I work remotely it means I can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of you and your dog. I always keep my availability up to date so you know exactly when I’m free. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), training and any house rules. I’m happy to walk your dog on their usual routes and at their regular times to help them feel comfortable, confident and relaxed while you’re away. My goal would be to build friendship and trust between us. Every dog receives my full attention. I don’t walk dogs in large groups, so your dog will enjoy one-to-one care tailored to their individual needs and personality. If I’m boarding, I’ll only take one household’s dog(s) at a time, ensuring they have a calm environment and plenty of attention. I live in a comfortable apartment that’s well suited to short weekend boarding. While I don’t have a private outdoor space, I’m close to parks and walking routes, so dogs in my care will still get plenty of exercise, enrichment and toilet breaks. For that reason, I prefer to keep boarding to shorter stays where I know I can provide the best possible experience.

About: First, I absolutely love dogs. I’ve had for 13 years a German shepherd (her name was Zoey) and for the past six years a Husky (Auri) and a Malinois (Meg). Besides being used to take care of them and finding creative ways to spend their infinite amount of energy, on the side, I also volunteered with rescues and often took care of small breeds ( neighbours had six Yorkshire). live near a park, so daily walks and play are built into the routine — along with whatever care a dog needs. Your dog would have a second dog for company and a daily walk with Auri and me. I work from home, so pet care fits into a set routine: two walks a day, morning and late afternoon, at St Ann's or St Nicholas Rest Garden — enclosed and squirrel-free, good if your dog has a hunting drive. Wee breaks happen at Montpelier Crescent, two minutes from the flat. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a yard and a spacious living room, plus my own dog for company. I have a crate and space for a second, if yours needs one. Dogs are kept inside.

About: We are Sara & Frans, a couple in our mid-40s living next to St Ann’s Wells Gardens and the seafront in Hove. We love having dogs around and enjoy providing a calm, safe, and happy environment for them. We offer doggy day care and overnight boarding, with lots of love, attention, and walks. I work from home a couple of days per week and Frans gets home by 4 pm, so your dog will never be short of company. Our home has a private, fully fenced garden—perfect for safe outdoor play—and we are ideally located for walks in the park or along the seafront. We both have plenty of experience with dogs. Frans grew up around pedigree Labradors, as his parents were breeders, and we recently said goodbye to our own much-loved dog, so we truly understand how important consistent, caring attention is. We are also trained in Dog First Aid for added peace of mind, and we speak English, Spanish, and French. We are happy to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well looked after while you are away. I work from home a couple of days per week, and Frans finish work at 4pm. We both free during weekends for boarding long stays We have a fenced private garden and plenty of space to play around and chill in the apartment, providing walks morning, lunch and after work

Ellie looked after Joy for three days, offering doggy day care while I was away at training, and she was absolute magic. It was a very last-minute request, but she accommodated it so gracefully—even with an early 8:00 AM start each morning! Joy had the best time and essentially went on his own little holiday. It was such a comfort knowing he was in such caring, capable hands, and I loved getting the updates. Could not recommend Ellie more highly!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Brighton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Brighton on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,996 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Brighton. About 87% 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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Brighton commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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.

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 .

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.

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 dog, 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.

We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
