“We arrived home to a pair of very relaxed and happy dogs! Much better than when they’ve stayed in kennels in the past. Harriet communicated everything really clearly and kept us up to date throughout.”
“Mia looked after my cats very well, and I came home to clean litter trays and happy kitties! She is very kind and accommodating, and took on the job at relatively short nice - fitting me into her busy schedule. She sent regular photo updates and I am more than happy with her. Highly recommend her 😊”
About: For the past 10 years I’ve enjoyed walking/bathing/playing with/sitting my friends’s and family member’s dogs alongside my own. I am happy to accommodate to the owner’s needs for their dog and enjoy working with a range of different dog breeds :) I’m happy to be flexible surrounding you and your dog - I am free weekday mornings/afternoons and all day Friday-Sunday. Let me know the timings you need and I will try my best to accommodate! My garden is fenced and spacious allowing your dog to play freely.

“Violet was so trustworthy and reliable. This is the first time we’ve let someone else look after our dog and we had so much trust in violet from day one. Would definitely like to have violet again in the future, she did a fantastic job and did everything we asked of her. 🐾💙”
About: Not only have I taken care of my own pets since I was a child, for over the past year I have dog sat for many friends and family. I am a recent philosophy graduate with lots of time to care for my own pets. This means I have a lot of spare time, and I what’s better than spending that time taking care of others’ animals? To look after dogs, I had a gated garden and a gate at the bottom of the stairs. My rabbits had a large enclosure, the same with my chickens. Further, my cats are both outdoor.
About: With two dogs at home and years spent loving and looking after my two elderly cats, I know how much pets mean to us. I look after all pets as if they were my own. I work part‑time, so I’m flexible and able to look after your pets in their own home — including taking them out for regular walks to keep them happy and settled. I create a calm, safe environment in your home, keeping your dog’s routine, comfort, and wellbeing at the centre of everything I do. You can trust me to care for your dog and respect your space with the same attention I give my own pets.
About: With several years of experience caring for puppies, kittens, horses, and reptiles, I offer expert, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine as a student midwife. I get yearly timetables and I dedicate time each week for walks, feeding, and check-ins, ensuring consistent, dependable care. In my home, pets become part of the family—lots of love, walks, and cozy spots to rest. Secured garden and run of our home. In your home, I provide gentle, reliable care that keeps their routine steady and stress-free.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me. Right now, I have my dog Alfie, a complete bundle of energy who needs tons of walks, fetch, and playtime to tire him out. I also recently lost my older dog, so I deeply understand the extra patience, slow walks, and gentle care that senior dogs need. From high energy dogs to quiet seniors, I’ll treat your dog just like my own :) Since I work on a small remote project from home, my schedule is completely flexible. I don't have fixed office hours, which means I have all the time in the world to give your dogs the care, attention, and company they need, especially if you're away on holiday and want them to feel comfortable at home! I’m already out walking my energetic dog Alfie for 2 to 3 hours every day (split into a couple of walks, usually early morning and late evening during hot weather, with plenty of indoor playtime in between). I also have my own car, so traveling to nearby areas or taking your dog to nice walking spots is no problem at all. The house I live in is very big, we usually leave a door open but for first visitors I would go out into garden with their lead on to make sure they know how to get back to the house. I would be happy to let them off the lead and follow them around so they don’t get lost. In the owners home I would always take them out on a lead and make sure they feel safe and the environment is safe before letting them off.
About: I’ve spent 10+ years caring for pets and sizes, from playful puppy’s to gentle cats and small animals, whether their mine or a friend/neighbours they are treated like family. With patience, love and plenty of cuddles Pet care fits in perfectly for me! I work from home so I am able to visit animals at anytime as my work will not interfere with looking after pets! Your home and your pets deserve the highest level of care. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and give your pets loving attention so they remain relaxed and happy in the comfort of their own home.
“Emma was just perfect. She was very kind, conscientious and diligent. I instinctly felt assured I could trust her to look after Hercule and respect my home. Hercule has never been left for more than an overnight before and I was so anxious as to how he would fare. But I felt completely reassured by Emma's little visit reports and she was really very patient with my nervous messaging. It was perfectly evident she is an animal lover and takes great pride in caring for them. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. Much more importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed little cat; despite it being a heatwave whilst I was away and the huge disruption to his routine. It was also quite apparent that he took a liking to Emma very quickly. Communication was clear, concise and very friendly. I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience and will certainly book her services the next time I go away.”
About: Hi, I'm Natalie! I've always loved animals and have had my own cats and dogs throughout my whole life. I don't think I've ever not had a pet at any point in time. I love cats and dogs both equally but currently have two Cockapoos, Fred is 10 years old and Ollie has just turned 1 so I have experience looking after senior dogs and puppies (at the same time) 😂 I've always looked after my friends and families pets when they've been away so have plenty of experience caring for animals. Really looking forward to looking after your furry friends and caring for them as if they were my own! 🩷 I'm self-employed and work from home so I'm totally flexible with availability. I can look after your pets any time of day or evening, whenever you need. I am happy to look after your pet in your own home so that they're happy and comfortable in their own environment. I can do walk-ins to check on your pets and feed them or walk them, or just to keep them company and give them lots of cuddles while you're away.
About: An animal lover I have owned and cared for a variety of cats and dogs over the years. I cater for all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I am particularly experienced with anxious or nervous dogs who need extra patience, reassurance, and calm handling. I currently own a rescue dog who had been written off, but with care time and patience has been transformed into a wonderful boy. He has been my 3rd rescue dog and I have been very successful in giving them a wonderful life. Large breeds are not a problem having previously owned a German Shepherd. I hold a full driving licence so I am reliable and flexible when it comes to travel, vet visits if ever needed or getting to more rural locations. I am also happy to provide sitting in your home, helping pets stay relaxed in a familiar environment and keeping their usual routine consistent. I am currently Pet first aid and animal CPR trained giving extra reassurance that your pets are in safe and knowledgeable hands. I also carry a comprehensive pet first aid kit. I currently am DBS checked. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I am currently self employed which gives me great flexibility with regards to pet walking and visits. I can generally schedule visits around my current job rota. I treat all pets as if they are my own. I prefer to meet pets prior to walking, visits or house sitting to obtain all relevant details.
About: Since my early years, the family house has always been filled with small animals - cats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. From this I’ve built a very good understanding of how to care for small animals like how to administer medication, feed, clean and groom them. Over my teenage years, whilst completing my gold Duke of Edinburgh, I volunteered for a year at an animal sanctuary where we cared and housed the most random of animals from hedgehogs to seagulls. But the most common animal we had were cats and kittens. Often we had around 20 cats at one time so I had to make sure to divide my time well that each animal had a good amount of human contact, cuddles, play time and grooming. It was important to establish bonds with the cats and kittens coming in as many were rescues so some didn’t have the best experience with human interaction. It was also important to build this connection so that they were able to go to homes in the future. As I have my own pet, Nova, I am very confident with scheduling for food, cleaning, vet visits etc. I work early in the morning therefore am up for early feeding time and then free for the whole day. Before accepting any job, It is my priority to first establish a basic relationship with the owner and pet in a visit before the intended date. This allows me to meet the pet and learn their schedule/ behaviour and where everything needed is and make sure you are happy and comfortable with me too!

“Jess always does an excellent job! 5th time of Jess taking care of our cats. Belle and Boo (our new to us cats) have been with us for just 3 months, so was important to have someone we trust to look after them. They are shy with new people and Jess won them around in no time.”
“Evangelical was excellent. 2 very happy cats and 2 very happy humans, looked after the fluffy bags of mischief over Christmas for us and we are forever grateful for her help. Will definitely use her again”

Animals are naturally part of my routine, whether volunteering with rescue dogs or simply spending time visiting local wildlife. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so providing care never feels like a task, but a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life I understand how important trust is, having relied on sitters for my own cat who needed gentle, low-stress care.

I treat every animal with patience and genuine care, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable.

Emma was absolutely fab in looking after my two girl cats. She was attentive to them and reassuring to us whilst we were away on holiday. Our littlest cat had a scare with her tail tip (self inflicted) and Emma was committed to doing whatever she could to take care of her needs. We would recommend Emma in a heartbeat.

There are 1,175 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Chichester. About 92% of Chichester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
