“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 :)”
“Ruby had a lovely time with Emma and her partner. She was happy to snooze on the sofa when we got home so we know she had a good walk! We wouldn't hesitate to leave Ruby with them again. Thanks!”
“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.”
“Joely took excellent care of Roxy! I received regular pup-dates on how she was doing and was response to my messages when I checked in. Will absolutely send Roxy to Joely again.”
“Gila took excellent care of Echo and fulfilled our booking despite unexpected personal challenges. Gila was warm and friendly and I had no concerns, Echo was a happy pup each time I collected her.”
“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.”
“Ellis looked after our dog and we couldn’t have asked for better. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. Clear communication, calm energy, and you can tell she genuinely cares about dogs. We received regular updates and photos, and our dog came back relaxed and happy. It felt more like leaving him with a trusted friend than a sitter. Reliable. Thoughtful. Easy going. We’ll definitely be booking again.”
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
“Jennifer took excellent care of my puppy and welcomed both of us in a warm and friendly way. I received regular updates which showed Echo having a lovely time while I was at the Women’s Rugby World Cup match! I would recommend Jennifer highly and would not hesitate to book her again. ❤️”
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 dog sat my whole life for friends/family etc, I have my own little rescue pup called Ted who’s an amazing boy and I’m sure he’d love to have some new friends as much as I would! It’s a daily occurrence as I’m responsible for the care and raising of my own little pup so I have a good amount of time to dedicate to the care of other dogs! As I have my own little pup who’s a frenchie I have very strict house rules when it comes to the safety of Ted. I want to ensure Ted has a safe, clean and tidy environment to play and live in, whether I’m with him or not. I carry out daily checks to make sure the floors are clean and tidy etc. This is also a non drinking, non smoking and drug free household! It’s also very quiet where I live so Ted has no issues when it comes to him getting the peace and quiet he needs. So all in all, this a dog friendly home with access to the beach and local dog parks and gardens within a 5 to 10 minute walk!
“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.”
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.

Our home has a private, fully fenced garden—perfect for safe outdoor play—and we’re 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’re happy to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.

Grace and her partner are Echo's regular carers and she loves them both! Echo has been well cared for during the current hot weather, Grace and her partner have been careful to keep her out of the hot sun and I particularly enjoyed the update showing Echo having a cooling paddle in Grace's bath! I recommend Grace highly!
My two girls clearly had the best time with Laura and her partner, they didn’t miss us one bit which is great! Shortly after they arrived I received some photos which showed they had settled quickly and made themselves right at home. As soon as I met Laura I was completely confident leaving my dogs in her care. Would thoroughly recommend. We will definitely be back (as long as she will have us 🤣)
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! 💗
Helen and Rain are the best. So kind and gentle. My dog Ciara is very clingy however she was really happy with Helen and Rain. Helen sent videos and photo updates over the three days. We felt really comfortable leaving Ciara. Thank you so much Helen and Rain 💖

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Brighton on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of August 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 1,968 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.
