“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!”
“Ting is so great with my two rescues! They can be very neurotic in their own special ways haha and she handles them wonderfully, they were very happy, fed and tired out when I got home :) Thanks so much!”
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!
“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!”
About: I have had a varying range of dogs since a child. I have had a golden retriever, a french bulldog and a west highland terrier which I assisted in training and raised from a puppy. I have also had experience looking after friends dogs of all sizes and adult cats. I work from home monday to friday with plenty of time to be away from work to tend to your animals needs alongside plenty of free afternoons and nights. I am able to take animals out as frequently as needed, I also live near a lovely green which is ideal for any walks or activities.
About: Having grown up with 2 dogs and over 5 years experience dog and cat sitting with long term stays and regular dog walks. I have a lot of knowledge and a lot of love to give. I am working from home and I am really active so enjoy to walk a lot around the city and on the beach. I enjoy exploring new areas and walking in the downs. I am working remote so I am really available to make sure the animal is safe at my home and doesn’t feel lonely. I can also manage my planning to come and visit your home at any time that is necessary.
About: I’ve had several dogs in my family across the years, including a golden retriever (m) and a jack Russell (f), as well as two cats a tabby (m), and a black cat (f). We still have our lovely black cat luna, and I recently got my mum our Freddie, who is a dachshund mixed with a cocker spaniel. I’ve got lots of experience looking after family friend dogs. I love going on long walks, or along the beach I work a 9 to 5 in central Brighton. I’m based in hove and walk to work every day, with time in the mornings and evenings to do walks or any general duties. Availability to home sit. If the home is situated near central Brighton I complete check ins/wee breaks and feeding during lunch times. Lots of availability across the weekends! I have a large fenced garden and a large park near by to my home to walk, as well as a 20 minute walk to the beach!
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).
About: Hi, I'm Heli and I grew up in an animal- lover family, most of our cats and dogs are adopted. So I get along with puppies and kittens very well, even they are shy or scared, I will make sure they feel okay. And I have experiences of taking care of bunnies and birds as well. I am currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets and provide them with the attention and companionship they need. I am a very responsible person and understand how important pets are to their owners. While caring for your pet, I will provide real-time updates with photos and videos to keep you informed about what they’re doing. Additionally, I will carefully track and report their eating and bathroom habits to ensure their health and safety. You can rest assured that your pet will receive the most attentive and loving care!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my family for many years now and love how they make a house a home. I’m always the first one to help walk, feed or give loving cuddles to neighbors animals making sure they have the company they need. I love walking and being outside and would love look after a dog and give it a lovely day out if needed. I look after my family’s dog Dylan and take him on beautiful long walks. He been with us for 7 years now and love keeping him company in the days when there’s no one home I’m currently part time dancer artist and I also work in a coffee shop so my time is super flexible. I’m always out walking so can help with walking your dog.

“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!”
“Charlotte was lovely and calm with my dog, who’s now older, and likes to do things her way! I came home to a relaxed, happy dog at the end of the day. Thanks again for keeping her company 😊”
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!

Thank you Genna for looking after our two cats so purrfectly! It was the first time we'd left them and right from first meeting you at the meet and greet we knew they would be very happy and we could relax. We loved the daily pics and videos and could see they were having the best time! You were so thoughtful with ice play, keeping them cool in the heat and giving them balcony time. Thank you we'll be booking you again!
Giulia is a wonderful cat carer, who looked after my old cat, Charlotte, brilliantly. I would highly recommend her as she was very kind to Charlotte, who clearly liked her immediately, was very prompt in responding to my texts and gave me very precise feedback about Charlotte, including lovely videos and photos. Giulia was so kind and thoughtful that she even collected some birthday flowers from a local shop that would definitely have died in the heatwave, without her help. Exceptional cat care - many thanks!
Laura provided kind, patient, and exceptionally good care for our shy cat Betty. We were given daily updates and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away from home. Betty also takes medication, which Laura administered daily. We will definitely be booking Laura again for future visits!
We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic service we received Ariana! Communication was absolutely excellent from start to finish, providing us with regular updates and plenty of photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter!
I would recomend Jeanique and will book her again! She was communicative and my cat seemed to be at ease with her from the start. She had to deal with a couple of mishaps with my cat being sick on the carpet and peeing outside the box (!!!) and was very graceful about it. I am very thankful 🙏
It was the first time we used Amanda for our two cats Poppy and Daisy. She came for a visit prior to us heading off on holiday and gave the cats some treats and a good stroke. She was reassuring and clearly had a lot of experience with cats. Whilst we were away we were very reassured seeing her check ins and the photos she shared of the cats looking very relaxed and happy with her.
I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. I was able to completely relax on holiday knowing my cats were in Tamara's care. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and her communication was excellent throughout. Tamara genuinely loves animals. She spent quality time with my cats, played with them, and paid attention to every detail of their care. I trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She's truly a dream cat sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Kendall is a fabulous dog sitter 🌟 It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and Kendall made us feel so comfortable, with getting to know us before & sending us updates throughout the visit. We can tell Ozzy had a lovely time with Kendall (and misses her already!) Our dog has a very specific routine that Kendall stuck to to make him comfortable. We would definitely recommend Kendall & will book with her again in the future 🤗
Johanna’s first two one hour visits with Sookie went really well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take a bit of time to warm up to new people. But with Johanna, she seemed to get very comfortable very quickly. Approaching her, choosing to lie near her, and having a snooze. And then on the second visit she put her head on her legs! Johanna has taken things at Sookie’s pace and my dog has quickly felt safe and happy with her.
After a successful couple of meet & greets, Beth’s first one hour visit seemed to go well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take time to warm up to new people. Although she wasn’t brave enough to approach Beth that day, she was comfortable and relaxed enough to have a snooze while she was there. Which shows that she isn’t overly worried about Beth, who didn’t try to push things too fast and went at Sookie’s pace, allowing her to feel that relaxed she could close her eyes. Very happy with Beth and her knowledge of handling nervous dogs.
Sofiya is a star! Super great communication, always on time and super reliable, friendly, trustworthy and follows instructions/kitten routine I shared with no problem with my 11 week old kitten. I will happily hire Sofiya again :) thank you for all your help!

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.
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.
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.
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.
