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: 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 Emily, I live alone and have access to a private garden. a huge dog lover who understands that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, playing fetch, or curling up for cuddles, I'll tailor their care to their personality and routine. I'm an active runner and walker, so energetic dogs are always welcome, but I'm equally happy taking things at a slower pace for older pups. I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well looked after. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work as a probation officer and spend most of my working week working from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. My role has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, reliability, and building trust—qualities I bring to every dog I care for. I'm an active person who exercises at least once a day. My aim is to make every dog feel like they're part of the family while they're with me, and I'd love to meet your four-legged best friend. Your dog's safety, happiness, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. Before every booking, I'll take the time to learn about your dog's routine, personality, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any medical requirements or behavioural quirks so I can provide care that's tailored to them. I'll stick to their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel settled and secure. In my home, I'll make sure the environment is calm, clean, and safe, with fresh water always available and plenty of time for play, enrichment, walks, and, of course, cuddles. Dogs will never be left alone, as I will only accept a booking on a day that I am working from home. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your property with the same respect I'd expect for my own. I'll keep your home clean and secure, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet receives lots of attention and companionship. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they're getting on and enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.

About: Growing up in the welsh countryside I have always been around animals. We had cats and jack russell terriers when I was young, and later on I helped out on a farm with horses and working collies. This love for animals carried on as I got older and I started walking neighbours dogs (bull mastiffs) for free and cat sitting for friends when they went away. Post Uni I started helping out locally with dog walking through borrow my doggy. I ended up house sitting for one of my customer’s houses a few times to look after their dog while they were on holiday (the lovely Vizsla in my photos). More recently I volunteered for German Shepherd Rescue Elite in Nottingham as shepherds and Malis are my personal favourite, so now have a fair range of experience with larger breeds and some reactivity issues. I really loved both the rescue and my regular borrow my doggy connections and would have carried on however, I have moved to Brighton and the commute would’ve been a bit tough! I have two cats now and I am calm and responsible and will always treat your animals as if they are my own and will send regular updates so you know how things are going! Really looking forward to making some new animal friends, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, always happy to chat to make sure you are confident with who you are entrusting to look after your family member! I’m in the office generally Tuesdays and Wednesdays and work from home the rest of the week so am available for walking/drop ins after work (4:30pm onwards) on most weekdays. I can do some morning visits on days I’m not in the office and any time on most weekends - just ask and I’ll let you know if I can fit it in! We have no garden and two cats at home so having other pets in our flat would not be an option however, I am more than happy to look after your pets in your own home during the working day if I am able to borrow your wifi to work from home at the same time!

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!

About: As an experienced sitter and walker, I bring a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their individual needs. I’ve grown up around dogs and now share my life with two of my own, so I understand how much they’re part of the family. Over the years I’ve gained specific experience caring for dogs with anxiety – offering calm, patient companionship and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and settled. My schedule is completely flexible, which means I can be there when you need me – whether that’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays in your home. I’m happy to follow any special instructions and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and cared for. Whether you have a playful pup or a nervous rescue, I’ll treat them like my own. I work completely remote Mon - Fri so can be as flexible as you need. I am also available on weekends. I spend a large amount of my spare time walking in nature, and to have a dog (or two) with me is such a treat for me too. I am not currently offering boarding in my own home due to my dog recently having surgery. However I am available for pet sitting in your home.

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!

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!

I will be sure to follow all pet care instructions and will provide time for play and photos to send while you’re away. I have three pets of my own (dog and cats) so I am familiar with all types and personalities!

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.

Oona was happy to meet for a meet and greet before the first sit, and when it came to the actual sit, she was punctual, reliable and communicative and sent photos of the dogs while they played and hung out together. I’d definitely recommend Oona. I knew my dogs were in good hands with her. I’ll hopefully use her services again soon!

I was lucky to find Laura to look after Luna for almost 2 weeks while I was away on holiday. We have just moved to Brighton and it is always difficult finding a new sitter you can trust. Laura was very accomodating and came to meet us and Luna instantly took a liking to her- a feat in itself!. She updated me daily with pictures and Luna looked super happy and content! I can highly recommend her and will be booking her again.

My cat is usually very nervous around new people and tends to run and hide, but from day one he was happily taking treats from her. He normally won't take food from anyone new, so that alone says everything about how gentle and patient she is with cats. She also followed every request perfectly, from leaving the lights on to all the little details I asked for. When I came home, I found Mario wasn't hiding, and didn't show the sign of stress. With some people he's been frightened and hiding when I return, so this was a huge relief. Thanks very much for your effort and care. I recommend her to anyone who has a shy cat.

Excellent all round. Balbina is obviously very good with animals because she forged an immediate connection with our not always overly-friendly cat when she came to collect the keys. She was communicative, reliable and a pleasure to deal with but, most of all, she took the time to make sure the cat was happy. She provided plenty of photos and clips of a very happy cat being stroked and petted. It's reassuring to know that your treasured family member is being cared for by someone who loves animals as much as you. Highly recommended.

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!

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.
