“Sarah was amazing - highly recommend!! She took great care of our dog Coco and we loved getting picture updates throughout the day. Will definitely use Sarah again in the future.”
“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!”
“Huge thanks to Michaela and Simon for looking after Ray this weekend and for being so kind and accommodating with our requests. Thank you also for sending updates and pictures throughout her stay - she looked very relaxed and definitely made herself at home!”
“We went for a day trip from London to Brighton and needed a sitter for our one year old doggie for 4-5 hours in the area while we were having a meal with friends at a restaurant that does not allow dogs. Liudmyla was brilliant in looking after our pup! The whole experience was just wonderful! From the start when we needed to modify the hours of booking, to making our doggie Misha feel welcomed and comfortable at her place and sending us updates and photos. Liudmyla is a warm, caring, professional lady and we highly recommend her services. We will def book her again on our next trip to Brighton.”
“Casper loves going to Rachel's. He charged in like he owned the place! It's so handy having Rachel nearby to look after Casper. I'll certainly be asking Rachel to have Casper again. Thanks so much!”
“Luke (and also Holly!) was absolutely wonderful with Snoopy. He was welcoming, patient, and very attentive to Snoopy’s needs and routine. Communication was clear and reassuring throughout the day, and it was obvious Snoopy felt comfortable with him. I felt confident and calm leaving Snoopy in his care and will definitely be booking again.”
“Gari had the best day!!! Tilda gave me regular updates, sent photos and took Gari on long walks frequently. She also took her to a cafe to socialise her whichs she loved. Gari returned tired and happy. Tilda is clearly a natural with dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Phoebe loves her visits to Toni and gets excited as we approach her door. Toni is so kind and capable that we never worry about Phoebe whilst we are away. Staying with Toni is a real home from home and we cannot recommend her enough.”
“Reilly had a lovely time with Emma and Nathan. They took him last minute and he didnt even look back as I dropped him off. I was updated with photos and I picked a very happy and tired wee boy. Thank you!”
“Jelle had a fab time with Sanmi - who was so communicative, helpful and friendly before, during and after the booking! Will definitely be dropping her off again next time I'm down in Brighton. Really fab, thanks Sanmi!”
“Katherine communicated clearly and has a border collie that immediately made friends with my dog Bunyip, and apparently they just played together all day. He slept for about 13 hours once we got home so I'm sure he had a good time!”
“Sarah was amazing with Bailey and I was completely reassured that she was in good hands. Bailey was clearly very happy there and if I was local to this area I’d definitely use Sarah’s services again! Thank you”
“Alex is simply amazing. He met us ahead of the day (twice!) and introduced us to his lovely dogs. Our pup felt completely at ease with both Alex and his dogs from the word go and! Our pup has had the best time and is exhausted from all the playing. Thank you Alex.”
“Emily Louise was amazing, she made sure there was a safe area for Hermione and ensured she took Luna out in the coolest part of the day, communicated well and was all-round lovely - I felt really confident that the girls were in good hands, thank you Emily Louise! 💗”
“I highly recommend Katty! She is very polite and love for dogs. My puppy, Milo, came back in a great mood. Katty was helpful and responsed to my enquiries during and after Milo's stay. Overall, both Milo and I are very satisfied with this care!”
About: My time as a dog dad taught me how to listen to a 'lil guy' that just doesn't have any words. I was fascinated just watching my guy roam around the world and through paying this deep attention to him we quickly found a way to communicate with one another. Training became an opportunity to build a shared vocabulary between us and to well, have a companion I could take into every element of my life. We went from shy ex racing greyhound to a public transport loving, adventure going, confident 'lil guy'. I also paid a great deal of attention to my guys food, I knew all the things that he couldn't have, the things he could have in small amounts, and the things that actually gave him too much energy. Which I didn't think was possible for a greyhound but most dogs should be tired after a 3 hour walk, he wasn't - it was hydro-carbolised starch by the way. And the usual introduction to dogs, family dogs. From the age of 8 years old and onwards I grew up with dogs. I was the one who showed the most interest intaking them to training classes and also happened to be the one that bonded with them the most through 'playing' or just existing together. Heath, my parents 15 year old Staffie still play fights with me and no one else. I currently work part time and freelance so my schedule has plenty of time for dogs. the more time with dogs the better to be honest. I'll be looking to transition out of part-time work to just freelance and doggy day care. I wake up at the same time most mornings and would either go for a walk or to the gym, I love working from home when I'm not working part time so having the company would suit me greatly. If I don't need to leave the home I do love being a bit of a home body, cooking, reading, making and taking breaks to walk around the block or in the garden break up my ideal day. I live in a really wonderful (and very safe) building in Kemptown and I have access to the best private garden in Brighton (Sussex square). This is also means I'm next to the beach and not far from East Brighton park, so we have a little bit of everything.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Brighton is £29

George was a great fit for our Dog Roo. Although i didnt get to meet him as it was my daughters wedding and dropping off/picking up was my husbands job. He was very accommodating and also great at communicating. Roo was super chilled!! Thank you George. Definitely reccommend.
Gemma was super wonderful! She happily booked us in last minute and sent me lovely updates and videos of how Maggie was settling. Maggie gets super anxious when people leave the house but Gemma spent so much time playing, walking and treating her that Maggie looked right at home when I came to pick her up! I would highly recommend, and will definitely book again ❤️❤️❤️
Heather looked after my 10 year old beagle, Reilly, for the day and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Reilly warmed to Heather instantly and was clearly very settled with her. Heather sent regular updates and photos throughout the day. 5 stars, 10/10. Excellent! Will definitely be calling on Heather again in the future - thanks again! ☆☆☆☆☆ 🐶
Daphne took on my partners dog (a Rottweiler) at the last minute and handled the whole situation so professionally. He’s never been left before - but we knew he was in the safest of hands with Daphne - already recommending her to friends. Thank you so much :) x
Ellis is a perfect dog-sitter and a lovely person! She took the time to come and meet us and our dog, Nathan, before the sit so we could make sure she was a good fit. She was super quick at responding to messages and flexible with our timings. She sent updates suring the sit and we returned to a happy, chilled dog. We're hoping she's available the next time we need a sitter! Thanks, Luke and Jen (and Nathan)
Bambi had the loveliest time with Isobel! 🥹 Bambi’s a shy pup, but was immediately comfortable with both Isobel & her partner 🤍 We got loads of updates through the day which we always love & we could see Bambi felt right at home!🏡 I know she’s in safe hands & that they’ll always look after her as if she’s their own 🫶🏼 Can only recommend!

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.
