About: Hi there! My name is Ellen and I'm originally from Australia! I'm missing my dog back home and would love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I've owned dogs throughout my life and have experience petsitting for neighbours and family friends. Our family got our first dog when I was 7 and he lived for 14 years in our care. This has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages. My family recently got a puppy, so I also know how to care for a puppy still learning the basics of obedience. I am more than willing to look after puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. I'm happy to do home visits, dog walks and dog sit overnight. I'll give your dog plenty of love and cuddles. I unfortunately cannot look after your dog in my place, but am willing to travel to your home to give your dog the best care possible. I'm missing my dog at home and would love to care for your dog when you need someone reliable. Please get in touch if you're interested in my services in the Brighton area. I am currently engaged in full-time work, so I have good availability on weeknights and all day on weekends. I am more than willing to accept last minute bookings. Please note, that I work in office Mondays and Tuesdays every week. This means that I cannot petsit during working hours on those days. I cannot currently care for pets in my own home. I am willing to adapt to the pet owner's home based on what they have already established with their pet (e.g. allowed outside at certain times).
“My dog is older and quite fussy who she spends time with now, but she had a lovely evening with Emma, and was very relaxed after her visit. Thanks again for keeping her company!”
“Absolute miracle worker of a cat sitter! Toni looked after my normally quite shy and anxious 1.5 year old cat and low and behold, she’s not shy at all now! I was so pleased to see not only my cat being well looked after in terms of food etc but how playful she was and totally at ease with Toni. Toni sent lots of pics and vids and honestly just made my whole holiday ten times better. I will 100% be booking again!”
About: I have lived dogs in the last few years. I am an experienced animal care-giver; feeding, cleaning, walking, and caring for animals with various individual needs (medication, routines, space). I love spending time with dogs and I am keen to give the highest quality care possible. I am currently working part-time so I have a flexible routine to accomodate your pets schedule. I live in the centre of Brighton so I can easily commute further afield. I live in a cozy flat by the beach, so there is plenty of outdoor space nearby for me to take your dog. I live in a quiet area so there is no fast traffic. Food and hazardous items are locked away, but various cozy areas are available at all times for pets who prefer space.
“Anoushka was great! Quick to respond and set something up with us at short notice, then incredibly helpful with our 6 month old puppy Stevie. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Our puppy absolutely loves Jamie - he’s the best dog whisperer I’ve ever met! He went out of his way to help me when I was in a pinch during the heatwave, and we’re so glad to have met him. He has the most amazing knowledge of dogs and how to train them and I knew Lumi was in safe, kind hands. Thank you Jamie from all of us 💜”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including my own and those of friends, family, and neighbors. I love spending time with dogs and cats—playing, walking, and giving lots of cuddles. I always make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved! 🐾💛 I’m a master’s student with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of love and attention! I offer personalized care for each furry friend—playtime, cuddles, and walks—all tailored to make them happy and safe while you’re away. I take care of pets in their own homes with lots of love and attention, following their routines and habits. I also send daily updates with photos so owners can see their furry friends happy and safe!
About: I’d love to look after your dog, I’ve always been a dog lover having had my own Cavapoo as well as miniature golden doodles over the years. I’ll make sure your doggo is treated as my own, and they get the walks and attention they need. I have a house and a secure garden, but also parks nearby. I’ll provide you with updates throughout their stay as I know how reassuring this is. Any questions let me know! I work from home for the majority of the week so I will be able to be with your dog the whole time. I’m happy to walk them multiple times a day, and I will ensure they get toilet breaks in the garden too. I have a fenced garden and I have a friendly Cavapoo Ziggy who’s 6 years old. I’m flexible in terms of where I allow dogs in the house, but we’ll usually be downstairs in the living room, this room keeps very cool in summer.
About: I grew up with pets, my family all have pets and I have my own dog who is now 7. I enjoy walking, petting, playing and sitting for dogs. I'm happy to look after cats and other pets too however if I was pet sitting I would need to bring my own dog along. I have worked in the care sector for almost 20 years at times caring for clients and their pets! I'm an easy going person, empathetic and compassionate. I am currently setting up my own counselling business and intend on working from home. I'm open to pet sitting in a way that flexibly works around my business. As I live in shared accommodation I won't be offering to have pets stay in my home. I would stay with your pet in your home and follow whatever routines you have for them.
About: I love animals and am an experienced cat and dog sitter that will treat your pet like part of my family, hosting them in my cosy and safe house and garden as the only guest. Please note: I have a gentle but curious *3 year old toddler*, so your pet must be ok with young children! I have lived with cats and dogs for the last 20 years, and also looked after a range of other pets including fish, hamsters, rabbits and turtles, taking responsibility for walkies, feeding, washing, administering medications and lots and lots of petting. I am a soft and cuddly person with animals, but will also respect their personal space if they want to be left alone. I work from home 4 days a week while my toddler is at nursery, so would be able to look after your pet in a quiet environment and do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can also do drop in visits/walkies either during the day or with my toddler in the carrier. For hosting, your pet needs to be ok with young children. I am very relaxed with pets in my home, happy for them to sit on the sofa or lie in bed with me, but also happy to settle them in a crate or in their bed if that is what they are used to. I will take them out for walks on the lead, to a local enclosed doggy park where they can be off lead, and can also visit your home for walkies and petting breaks. I have wide availability so can look after your pet at any time you need, including drop in visits and walkies. I work from home and my baby is at nursery Mon-Thursday, so your pet will have my full attention during the day. I have a fenced garden and live with just my toddler, and with no other pets. Your pet will have my undivided love and attention! I'm happy to have your pet on any of my furniture, or to keep the same rules the you have at home. If they sleep in a crete or outside the bedroom, I have a safe, warm and peaceful space for them to stay, including a cosy sofa or spare guest bed.
“Oona was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with our cat, and made sure to keep us updated with a combination of photos and videos throughout her visits. Oona followed the instructions exactly as we had asked and did a fantastic job at ensuring our cat was both well taken care of and more importantly, kept her happy and safe. I would recommend Oona to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and other animals since I was very young, I’ve always been very good at connecting with them, which is why I went to Plumpton college to get my animal care diploma & my dog grooming qualification. Your animals will be very safe when they are with me, whether it be over night or just during the day. My passion is making sure all animals in my care are 100% happy and healthy. I have availability throughout the week, weekends & holidays. Please message if you have questions or would like to request care and I’ll get back to you asap. Animal welfare is extremely important to me so I do everything I can to make sure the animals in my care are happy, even if it means altering my own routine for them.
About: Ive been looking after dogs, cats, horses and small pets all my life, I’m super confident with any pet and love animals more than anything, I know how important it is to find the right person to trust with your furry friend but I promise you that’s me! I can promise to tailor you and your pets needs accordingly and am happy to chat about any requirements etc! And most importantly I can promise to keep your pet safe, happy and having the best time! Im currently working 2 days a week online at home so I am home 7 days a week for the whole day. So I’m super available, my house is spacious with a lovley garden, and also surrounded by dog friendly parks and beautiful walks! Ive had dogs all my life so it’s very natural for a dog or cat to be at home. I’m comfortable with assuring your pet is fed, watered, walked and entertained for their full time with me. My house is very calm as well as it’s just me during the day, so your pet will have a stress free time. I’m also comfortable with medical assistance for pets as I’m really experienced with dogs and cats in medical emergencies etc.
About: The biggest lover of dogs, professional cuddler and experienced with lots of breeds and ages! Whether your doggo has endless energy and needs huge walks and 4 hours of tug of war, or your elderly pup needs some gentle cuddles and a slow walk around the block, I’m there! Previous experience in looking after small and large breeds, shy and aggressive dogs, puppies and older dogs needing medication. I always customise my walks or stays based on what your dog likes best - whether that’s favourite walk routes, daily routines or how they like their treats served, every dog is different and I’m happy to adapt to their needs! I work mostly from home (3 days a week, on flexible days), and balance my work schedule around your dog walk and dog sitting needs. I’m also available weekends and evenings! I follow your guidance on how best to care for your pooch. As much information as you can give me beforehand helps to ensure minimal disruption for your dog, so we can stick as close as possible to their favourite routines!
About: I’m a genuine animal lover who’s happiest when surrounded by dogs. After moving back home from London, I realised just how much I missed seeing a (very) scruffy tail wandering around every day. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for more than 10 over the years, so looking after them comes naturally to me. I’ve also pet sat before and feel completely confident caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities and, not to brag, but I have been told by every one of them that I’m the best at belly rubs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. I’m comfortable reading dogs' body language and always take the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality. Alongside my experience with animals, I have several years of customer service and administrative experience, so I understand the importance of communication, reliability and trust. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you feel completely comfortable with, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos while you’re away. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm the person who stops to say hello to every dog I pass. I genuinely love spending time with animals and would treat your pet with the same care, patience and affection that I'd give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a stress free, enjoyable experience every time. P.S I can also add in a little watercolour doodle of your pet as an added bonus if you request ! :) I recently left university, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings and weekends. This allows me to give each pet the time, attention and care they deserve, whether that’s for regular walks, drop in visits or overnight stays. I’m reliable, responsive and happy to work around your schedule to make things as easy as possible. I always aim to care for every dog as if they were my own. At the moment I'm staying in a no pets flat, so I’m unable to offer boarding in my own home, but that just means I’m even more than happy to come to you and spend quality time with your dog. I’m an active person who enjoys long walks and will always adapt to your dog's individual routine, whether they love adventures, gentle strolls or simply lots of company and cuddles. My own dog lived to the wonderful age of 16, so I understand the extra patience and care senior dogs need. I’ve also looked after puppies, so I’m confident with younger dogs too, from energetic playtime to helping maintain their routines. Whatever their age or personality, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away.
“Sofía looked after my cat when I was away on a short trip, and I’m very happy with her service. She responded quickly to the booking, came over beforehand to check on everything, and was warm and loving to Nnedi. Can definitely recommend, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Sofia!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Genna is professional, friendly and very easy to deal with. Most importantly she was wonderful with our cat Lilou who is an affectionate little cat who needs much cuddles and attention. Lilou took to Genna instantly and you could tell she is proficient in understanding 'cat'. Thank you for taking such good care of Lilou whilst we were away. We would highly recommend Genna for cat sitting duties!
Sophie looked after our two ragdolls for a week. Was always around twice daily like clockwork, great communication and most importantly for us, connected with both our cats, who whilst super friendly with us can be very wary of strangers. This really helped us feel reassured that Lila and Pixie were not only safe but also connecting with Sophie and happy. We will definitely book with Sophie again!!
I booked Joanne for 4 days and my Cat's were happy in her Company as she played with them and feed them - she also sent Videos and pictures which I appreciated a lot- while texted me about any issue's she need to understand- that was all I need. Thanks Joanne.
Sam was amazing! As soon as she popped over to visit us I felt safe and trusting leaving her to look after Beej. She was super fast to respond, punctual, communicative, followed instructions well and sent us lots of lovely photos so we knew Beej was happy. Will rebook very soon, thank you again!
Catherine has a good vibe and Sindri was comfortable with her from the first day. She sends pics updates however it is not "staged" she does not spend most of the session taking footage for socia lmedia purposes. She was very much hands on with my reserved cat and he loved being brush-massaged by her, which is is top favourite thing. The instructions left were followed, Catherine stayed a good amount of time; I'm a professional pet sitter and dog trainer myself, and I believe Catherine enjoys being with the pets as much as I do, so Its not all about cash. She also came alone, which reassures me as other previous pet sitters thought it was fine to come with an un-vetted spouse or friend, which also spooked my cat. Really comfortable with Catherine looking after my Sindri.
Nicola is amazing, she has managed to befriend our two rescue cats that are scared of everyone and everything. The improvement in confidence from Twiggy and Winnie is incredible, they used to hide under the bed but now they come downstairs and play. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Ariana was absolutely amazing with Toby and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after him. From the moment she first visited, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated with loads of lovely photos and messages, spent proper time with him, played with him, brushed him, refreshed his food and water and made sure everything was sorted each visit. Toby can be a little fussy and very particular, but he clearly adored Ariana and looked so happy and relaxed with her. We came home to a very happy cat and an immaculate flat. Ariana went above and beyond and made being away from Toby so much easier for us. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Annabel has been visiting Sunday regularly for the past month, they have been incredible with my dog’s additional needs (including researching how to pick her up safely) and go above and beyond to help her feel calm. Sunday is now so excited to see her new friend and I am confident she is being well looked after.
Ronnie and Jennifer are real cat lovers, and we had no hesitation to give them the responsibility to visit daily and take care of our cats whilst we were on vacation. They sent regular updates, and are reliable, trustworthy and kind people. We would highly recommend them, and we’ll be sure to ask them to help us again in future. Thanks Ronnie & Jennifer, we hugely appreciate what you have done for us.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Brighton pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
