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!
“Harriet was fantastic. She was punctual, friendly and professional. When we arrived home Paolo was in great form. He had been well watered, looked after and fed. We would highly recommend using her and will definitely be asking her to look after Paolo again.”
“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: I am a 26 year old animal lover living in a gorgeous coastal town near Chichester, West Sussex. I have always lived with cats and dogs in my family of all shapes and sizes, including Spaniels, Tabby cats, German Shepherds and Labradors. I work remotely as a legal assistant whilst training to qualify as a family lawyer. I have a full driving license which enables me to take my friend’s and family’s dogs on nice long walks at the beach or in the woods. You can rest assured knowing your pet would be very looked after in my care. I currently work full time as a legal assistant but enjoy the benefit of working from home 5 days a week which enables me to provide care for your pets either living in with me, or by driving to your house to feed and play with your cat or walk your dog! I have a cottage-style fenced long garden which is perfect for lots of sniffs and room to play on our lawn. I have access to the garden via a back gate and a garden sink which is ideal for muddy paws! I live within walking distance to Bosham quay and have other great walk routes such as farmers fields and woodlands nearby. I have oak wooden floor throughout the downstairs of our home and are very used to having dogs overnight here.
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: 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: 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. I pay close attention to your dog ensuring the safety and comfort of your pets.
“I was away for the weekend and was looking for someone last minute to look after my dog for a short chunk of time. Mia was responsive, punctual, professional and so kind with my 2.5 year old cavapoo. I'm always nervous leaving my dog with someone I haven't met before but I couldn't have been happier with Mia. I would heartily recommend her!”
About: I have two of my own dogs who are 3 and 12 so I have experience taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I often walk my dogs as well as occasionally walk friends or family when they are away. I have experience taking care of cats as my neighbours all have cats and I often help out with them. I’m currently a student at the University of Bristol and I am available in the term time. I have a weekly timetable but I can fit dog walks or check-ins around that in the daytime as well as be available to house-sit in the afternoons/evenings. I am a calm person and seem to get a long with every animal I meet. I will take any necessary precautions to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
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 currently a final year student at Southampton university studying philosophy. This means I have a lot of spare time, and I what’s better than spending that time taking care of 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.
About: Fun, trustworthy sitter, rescue volunteer, great with anxious pets, puppies and seniors, used to working in homes around animals, creating relaxed, happy, and safe memorable moments As a self employed business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritise pet care throughout my day and week. 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. This is the standard of care I provide helping your pet feel right at home while following their usual routine to keep them settled and happy. I treat every animal with patience and genuine care, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. As I don’t currently have pets, your pet has my full attention, and I’m always happy to send regular updates for complete peace of mind

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Chichester
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 1,107 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. 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 .
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.

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.

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.
