“Amanda was wonderful with our two cats and house sitting for us. We got lots of updates and came home to two happy cats! We felt very comfortable having her look after them and would for sure recommend her to anyone in the future :)”
“Anoushka was great! It was a relatively short notice booking but Anoushka was lovely about sorting out how best to get to know us and Skye and communicated very well. On the day Anoushka arrived on time, we had a lovely calm handover and she took on board all of Skye’s needs and ways. Both Skye and Anoushka got on amazingly well and we came home to a happy pooch. We had some lovely updates and pictures throughout the day, which was nice and reassuring. Anoushka also respected our house and left everything clean and tidy. We would have no concerns having Anoushka back again.”
“Balbina was wonderful. She instantly bonded with Elf and brought out his playful goofy side! Very patient and understanding about his noise sensitivity, I came home to a very happy doggy. Thank you for all the updates and pics all day. Would highly recommend !”
“Ellen has looked after Lulu a couple of times now and is always punctual, polite and great company for Lulu. Great with Lulu being a bit anxious with visitors, stays calm and always manages to calm Lulu down with ease.”
“Beth was amazing with Enzo and provided updates throughout. I could tell Beth had a lot of knowledge about dogs, especially caring for dogs in hot weather which was really reassuring.”
“Grace took really good care of Dexter, she sent us regular updates with photos as well and he seemed very content with her. She took him for a walk even though we said that was optional which was very kind of her. Would book her again!”
“Toni and their partner did a wonderful job with Sidney! They kept us updated with pics of her throughout the evening and shared updates on what she was up to! They kept our place spotless and even unlocked some sprites on my Fortnite account! 10/10”
“Chantelle house sat with my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was an exceptional pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, caring and responsible. Shadow needs arthritis meds regularly & Chantelle walked him, stayed with him & made sure he received his medication as needed. She even went out of her way to post a Christmas gift that we had left behind. It can be tricky thing when deciding to leave your home and your pet in the hands of someone new. If you’re looking for someone who you can trust to take care of your pets and who you can entrust with your home, look no further! A huge thank you to you Chantelle! We will most definitely be booking you again & again :)”
“Natasha was brilliant. Responsive, confident, flexible. She looked after my 7 mth puppy perfectly from mid afternoon to late evening. He can be a bit clingy, but he was super happy with Natasha, and very relaxed when I got back. I have no hesitation in recommending lovely Natasha and will definitely rebook.”
“I booked Laura at the last minute as my usual dog sitter had fallen through. She was very responsive and helpful and did a great job looking after my dog and my home. She also fed our fish and hamster! ❤️ I was not there to meet her but I know my dog was happy with her as she sent me a picture of them snuggling and my dog doesn’t do that for everyone! I would definitely book Laura again. ⭐️”
“Daphne was wonderful with our 4 month old puppy! Sid was very happy in her company and we came home to a very calm and content little puppy! We were super nervous leaving her with someone for such a long time as she can be a handful but Daphne was completely unphased which put us at ease! She also left our house in the same state we left it in, couldn’t even tell someone had been there! Daphne is also just the loveliest person I could not recommend her higher! Absolutely will be reuniting Sid and Daphne in the future!”
“Ting looked after my two dogs for 11 days at my hime. She is a dog lover and won my two dogs affection in a short time. I received daily updates and photos from her while I was away. She also took great care of my home. I highly recommend Ting and will be booking her again for dog sitting in future.”
“Jamie was great, we met before and it was clear they were really good with dogs and very knowledgeable. Their communication was excellent. All instructions were followed and the dogs seemed very happy on my return.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Pickle received from Georgina! She was absolutely amazing with him from start to finish. Georgina was so friendly, kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, and it was clear that Pickle’s happiness and wellbeing were always her top priority. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Pickle had a fantastic time, and I know he can’t wait to be looked after by Georgina again soon! I would highly recommend Georgina to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter.”
“Flora looked after Saffy for an evening at our home whilst we were out for dinner. She was absolutely lovely and Saffy adored her immediately. I received an update and photos to let me know all was well, and came back to a very happy pup. We’ll definitely be using Flora again! Thanks so much :)”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Leah. She truly went above and beyond, starting with taking the time to come and meet Stanley beforehand so they could get to know each other. It made us feel so reassured leaving him. Throughout the sit, she sent constant updates and lovely photos, so we always knew he was having a great time and was in safe hands. Leah is brilliant, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. Stanley can't wait to see her again!”
“Johanna is friendly, reliable and loves dogs! She did an excellent job of caring for my anxious Podenco overnight at my home and left everything extremely tidy. Twigs has terrible separation anxiety but (eventually!) Johanna won him over and he settled down. Thanks Johanna!”
“We will definitely have Bronte to dog sit again. We asked her to dog sit last minute and she was happy to help. While we were away Bronte gave us lots of updates and pictures, and it was clear that Bonnie was having the time of her life. The pictures she sent us were just adorable. She also left us the sweetest drawing of Bonnie. You can tell how much she loves animals. I highly recommend Bronte to anyone who wants to know their pet is in safe hands!”
About: I grew up on a small farm in Northern Ontario, and I have been caring for and genuinely enjoying spending time with animals for as long as I can remember! I have shared my life with dogs since I was a baby. I had a horse throughout my teen years, and aside from my best girl, Shanti (5.5-year-old Labrador), my most recent animal care was for our geriatric donkey, Eeyore, whilst staying with my family in Canada. In my downtime, I learn a lot about dog behaviour through books and experts online. I know that our pets are our best friends and family members; I will treat yours with utmost respect and kindness - guaranteed! I am currently providing pet care throughout the summer, whilst starting a new business (children's yoga in the park). I am on a sabbatical as an education specialist, and since I love spending time with animals, there is no better way than to spend my summer here in Brighton & Hove. I am open to day services, evenings and weekends. My availability is subject to a pre-booked camping trip and family commitments. I will work with you for bespoke animal care. My Labrador/best friend, Shanti, is excellent around other dogs. Together, owners and I will discuss and decide if our dogs are compatible to socialise together on walks. I live with my retired partner, who is also an animal-lover but the care and responsibility for your pet will be in my trusted hands. While there is no garden here, regular walks to the beach and to Hove Park fill our days. Shanti and I also love longer walks in the countryside/in the woods which we reach by car. Your dog might love to join us! In your home, I will ensure your pet is comfortable and life remains "status quo". If I can welcome your dog to our place, we will discuss all factors to ensure this is what is best for them. On our end, we will ensure they feel right at home. Crating is an option if you think best. Rest assured, I have been caring for animals all my life and when your furry family member is with me, they will be happy, well-cared for and comfortable.

Anoushka was absolutely amazing looking after Zelda while we were away. She kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and messages, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Zelda was really happy and comfortable with her. Zelda was so well looked after and we came home to a very happy dog! 🥰 We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Would 100% recommend Anoushka to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. We’ll definitely be asking her to look after Zelda again! ❤️
We had a lovely experience with Helena. She was punctual, communicated promptly and clearly, and took great care of our dog exactly as we had asked. She was friendly, reliable and clearly cared about making sure our dog was happy and well looked after. We would happily recommend her and book her again!
Ciara looked after Dexter for 6 nights while we were on holiday, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. She took him on daily walks, including trips to the beach, and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages throughout our trip. It was so reassuring to see how happy he was. Ciara also left our home beautifully tidy, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected bonus! She was wonderful from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or book her again. Thank you so much Ciara!
Heather was amazing from the start. She requested to come and spend time with our cat before looking after her to ensure our cat was comfortable with her which was an excellent idea! She sent us regular updates and left us with confidence that our cat was very well looked after so we had zero worries on our holiday. Heather is a lovely person overall and we would love to have her again!
Leah was super nice!! It is clear how much she loves dogs and will look after them like family. She was super communicativec followed all instructions and even accomodated a previous cancellation because of illness. Will definitely be booking her again and recommend to everyone.
I really recommend Natasha, our dog had a wonderful few days with her. Natasha was very communicative all through from booking , meeting her beforehand , and sending us regular updates. Even taking Luna to the pet shop to buy her a toy! Luna was very happy in her care , and will definately be using her again. Thank you so much Natasha 😊
Where do I start with the lovely Neve! She was absolutely brilliant with our boy Marvin. He is an active and sociable cat who needs a lot of interaction and she really bonded with him (he cried when she left!). She has a lovely personality ; friendly calm and unflappable and left the house clean and tidy. She also provided lots of updates - mostly of Marvin looking adoringly at her 😊 . Can't recommend her highly enough and Marvin is already booking our next trip so he can see her again!
Aundrea was wonderful! She took such amazing care of Taylor while we were away, and looked after the flat so well too - she left it cleaner than when we left! Taylor was his usual self when we got back, and usually he can be quite quiet after we’re away, so it’s clear he’s had a great time and felt safe with Aundrea. Could not recommend her enough - so good with Taylor, so respectful, and a great communicator! :)

FAQs for House Sitting – Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Brighton walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brighton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
