I can tailor you and your pets needs accordingly and am happy to chat about requirements etc! 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: 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: 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 grew up on a farm constantly surrounded by lots of animals, especially dogs where I had to care for up to 16 in our farms kennels! I love the company of animals and the joy they bring whilst giving them good quality care. I have a part time job therefore I am quite flexible to care and walk your adorable pet. I’m happy to accommodate to yours and your dogs needs! I also have a car so I can take your pet on longer walks if they are high energy. I often like going to devils dyke and the Seven Sisters on walks! I have a pretty flexible schedule as I have a small part time job therefore having a lot of free time to engage in different activities and opportunities aswell as accommodate yours and your pets needs! I can feed, walk and give your pet company as and when you need. I have a safe environment and lots of parks nearby to take your pet on lovely walks and to play. I can be a companion for your pet or take care of them at home whilst you are busy!
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: 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: 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: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, so they've always been a huge part of my life. I've grown up with dogs at home and have looked after everything from tiny, bouncy puppies to lovely older dogs who just want to potter along and have a good sniff. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your dog, so I'd always treat them like they're one of my own. Their safety and happiness will always come first, and I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise and lots of fuss. My aim is for every walk to be fun, relaxed and full of tail wags, so you can head out knowing your dog is in safe hands, having a lovely time, and being cared for just like they would be at home. Every dog has their own little personality, and getting to know what they enjoy is one of my favourite things. Whether that's throwing a ball a hundred times, stopping to sniff every bush, or taking things nice and slowly, I'm always happy to go at their pace. 🐶 I’ve recently graduated and am part time WFH, so my schedule is fully flexible !! Typically I’m out for an early morning walk or run along the beach, and I like to have lunch in a nearby park ! Sometimes a swim in the sea in the evenings :) 🌳🐾🐕 I know how important it is to stick to your pet’s usual routine, so I'll always take the time to understand what works best for them. Whether I'm popping in for a check-in or taking them out for a walk, I'll make sure they have everything they need: fresh water, lots of fuss, playtime, toilet breaks and, of course, plenty of attention. When we're out on walks, your dog's safety is always my priority. I'll keep a close eye on them, walk at a pace that suits them, and make sure they're comfortable, happy and enjoying themselves. Back at home, I'll leave everything just as I found it, giving your lovely pet some company and care while you're away so they feel relaxed and settled. I know every dog is different, so I'm always happy to adapt to their personality, energy levels and any instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, content doggy who's been well looked after and had a lovely time.

“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!”

“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 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!
“Thank you so much for the cats feeding and looking after it meant so much to me and the cleaning out of the world. If I could do, it’s 11 out of 10 super.🙌🙌👍👍”

“I booked Toni quite last minute for the bank holiday and couldn't be happier. She was great with my big reactive dog, kept her safe on her walk and sent pictures to update. Will defo be using her again :)”

“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: As an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, I bring a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their individual needs. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and now share my own home with two dogs, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us - they’re family. Over the years, I’ve gained particular experience caring for dogs with anxiety, nervous temperaments and difficult pasts. I offer calm, patient companionship and aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, helping them feel safe, secure and settled while their people are away. I was also completely horse obsessed growing up, so animals have always been a huge part of my life! I now have two dogs of my own: Maggie, a 6-year-old American Bulldog, and Peggy, a 5-year-old French Bulldog. They are the absolute loves of my life. A little about Maggie… Maggie came into my life when she was just 9 weeks old, after being rescued from a puppy farm. She arrived riddled with fleas, full of worms and absolutely terrified. She was so frightened that, for the first three weeks, she wouldn’t even eat. It took a lot of patience, consistency and trust-building. I began hand-feeding her until she felt safe and strong enough to eat independently. Slowly, day by day, she began to realise that she was safe. Fast-forward six years, and Maggie absolutely loves life. She adores other dogs and is a happy, loving girl. She still has moments when her anxiety gets the better of her, but together we’ve learned how to support her through those moments. This experience taught me so much about caring for anxious, rescued and sensitive dogs. It taught me the importance of patience, understanding and allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Most importantly, it taught me how much of a difference we can make simply by being a calm and consistent safe haven for an animal who needs one. Being Maggie’s mum has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Seeing her grow into the happy dog she is today makes me incredibly proud, and anxious dogs will always hold a particularly special place in my heart because of her. I’m very adaptable and happy to work around your pet’s individual needs and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m always happy to discuss any specific requirements, behaviours, anxieties or routines before a booking. I’m also confident administering medication, including oral medication such as pain relief, as well as eye drops and ear drops. If your pet has any other specific needs, please just let me know so we can discuss how I can best support them. I’ll follow their usual feeding, medication and rest routines as closely as possible, helping their day feel familiar and stress-free. Throughout the booking, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and being well cared for. Whether you have a playful puppy, an energetic adventurer, a nervous rescue or a senior companion, I’ll take the time to get to know them as an individual and care for them with the same patience, respect and love I would want for my own pets. My schedule is completely flexible, which means I can be there when you need me - whether that’s for regular walks, drop-in visits, daycare or overnight stays in your home. 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.
“Ruta looked after our cat while we were away - she completed daily drop-ins to feed out cat and check she was ok. Everything went smoothly and communication was excellent.”

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!

Jade is a great sitter. She’s done multiple long sits for my high needs Siberian including medication etc. She’s always been incredibly reassuring even when I’ve been anxious and being a helicopter cat parent. Very attentive and it makes all the difference having someone genuinely enjoy spending time your baby!

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.

Eleanor is fantastic with our cocker spaniel, really reliable, friendly, professional and sends updates / gives peace of mind. Alfie loves her and she’s been great at adjusting the visits for walks to playing/ enrichment based on the weather / what Alfie needs. Would definitely recommend :)

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!

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!

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!

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.
