“Heather was very professional & has a caring approach. She enabled us to attend a family funeral 275 miles away from home looking after our dog Daisy who has separation anxiety. Although clearly happy to see us on collection after spending the day with Heather you could tell Daisy had had a good day & wasn’t stressed. Thanks Heather:”

“The best type of sitter! The booking and handover process was easy and fuss free. Tina let me know she was flexible around pick up time which was very helpful as I was visiting the area for a family event. I had some lovely photos of Toby having walks and cuddles, clearly a happy boy. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old, looking after my own pets as well as those of friends and family. I have experience with dog walking, feeding, overnight pet sitting, and providing loving, reliable care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I am comfortable caring for a wide range of breeds, from small dogs such as French Bulldogs to large breeds like Rottweilers. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while in my care. Whether your dog needs a walk, company during the day, or overnight care, you can count on me to treat them as if they were my own. I work four days a week, and on the days I work, I'm home by 5:00 pm, leaving my evenings free for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and can provide daytime care as well. I'm reliable, organised, and happy to work around your pet's routine whenever possible. Your dog will have access to a secure, fenced garden to play and relax in. I also have two friendly, well-socialised dogs who love the company of other dogs and will help your furry friend feel at home. I live in a quiet urbanisation with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby, away from busy main roads, making it a safe and enjoyable environment for daily walks and exercise. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priority.

Harriet is a wonderful Dogsitter. We knew from the Beginning that our little Dachsie would be in best Hands. Leni felt home very quickly as we could see on the several Pictures, Harriet sent us during the Weekend. She also took her to the beach and let her snuggle on the sofa. The Communication was perfect, fast and clear. We can highly Harriet and will book her again for sure, if we come back for Goodwood. Thanks Harriet!
Sal had a fantastic time with Brook & her lovely children. Brook was warm and welcoming on arrival and I immediately trusted her with the care of my pup. Brook sent me regular updates throughout the day and when I collected Sal, also gave me a run down of the day. I am delighted to have found Brook to look after my dog, and Sal is looking forward to her next visit. I have no hesitation in recommending Brook to care for your beloved pet. Thanks so much Brook, 5 star service, warm & friendly.
Rolo had a fabulous day with Ellie and her partner Lewis. He came home totally exhausted after a day of playing in the garden, going for walks and watching films. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. I am very grateful and would recommend Ellie to anyone looking for doggy day care.
Very happy with Claire as our new Rover doggie carer. We’d been let down at last minute for dog care and very quickly managed a woof meet up.. all went very well so Claire kindly covered day care the very next day. All feeding/walks/treats/naps etc were catered brilliantly and photos of Tiya - our 12 year old Spaniel, along with Claire’s little dog Sully were timely zapped across to me .. Tiya seemed totally happy and at ease there. Highly recommend Claire for weekend sitting

There are 1,787 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Chichester. About 86% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Chichester commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
