“Nadiana was the perfect sitter for our little benson. We got regular updates of his day, proof that he was happy and safe. Nadiana is a very sweet wonderful person and gave me great confidence in her ability to take care of benson.”

“Thanks the first time we have left our dog with anyone and Hamish was not an easy one to care for. An old dog who can’t seem to sleep alone, barks a lot. A super softie but the right carer needed to be found. Alan was exactly that and more. He made us feel confident and allowed us the much needed family break away. He kept in contact regularly, nothing was too much, left the house in great order and most of all did a super job caring for Hamish. We would highly recommend him and will for sure be asking for his help again if needed.”

“Felicitas was a superb pet sitter. She was very professional, definitely loves animals and they love her. She took everything in her stride and was not put of by looking after my very elderly cat and grumpy dog…..as well and a happy dog and calm big cat. She kept in very regular contact sending photos and videos of them all. The house was left very clean and tidy, plants watered. The dogs both looked sad when I opened the door and she was gone. Thank you Felicitas. I would very highly recommended Felicitas to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable superb pet sitter.”

“Yvonne looked after our two babies for the day whilst we were away and we were so very pleased to have regular and great updates as to how our babies were doing during the day. Yvonne was loving and caring with our two chihuahuas and very polite and friendly with us. I would definitely recommend her for anyone that needs to leave their furry friends with someone who genuinely cares.”

“Alex was absolutely brilliant! On time, super friendly and Connie (who can be a bit nervous) evidently got on with Alex really well. Would recommend and we will be using her again.”

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I provide a safe, caring, and reliable environment for every dog in my care. Having previously owned a dog myself, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s individual needs, including exercise, companionship, routine, and plenty of attention. I genuinely love animals and take pride in ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My son also enjoys spending time with dogs, which means your pet will receive plenty of affection and companionship in a warm, family-oriented home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and am committed to providing the highest standard of care throughout their stay. I currently only work park time and only 8-1 so have weekends free and Mondays and Thursdays! My working days are Tuesday Wednesday Fridays 8-1 I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. In my home, I provide a warm and welcoming environment where pets can enjoy plenty of playtime, and affection. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and rest so they feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency in the pet’s routine. I make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest, while also keeping the home tidy and cared for. No matter where I’m caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family and give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I don’t have a garden but I have a big field at the end of my road!
“Joanne looked after our German Shepherd in our home, while we were gone for a couple of days. If I could rate Joanne 10 starts, I would give her that. She has gone above and beyond for our dog, and with our home. She left treats for him, brushed him, played with him, took him for walks, and gave us frequent updates, including pictures and videos. Joanne even done all the washing, including the bedding and towels she used while staying here, as well as hoovered. This is beyond of what I expected. We will not hesitate to book her again. I'm sure our dog will be eager to see her again :-) Thank you ever so much again Joanne, you are truly a super star xx”


About: Hello! I am a passionate, Crawley based pet lover dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, comfort and safety for your furry family members. Animals are my absolute world and I am currently focusing on growing my part time pet care services into a full time career. Because I manage a flexible part time schedule at my current role (9am-2:30pm), I am adaptable and readily available at short notice to step in whenever you need a hand, whether it is an unexpected late day at work or a last minute weekend getaway. My journey with animal care started when I was just 13 years old. Over the last decade, I have gained hands on experience looking after a diverse range of cats and dogs, including regularly managing my mum's pets whenever she goes away on holiday and my friends. This has given me deep familiarity with varying pet routines, energy levels, and unique personalities. I am also the proud owner of a wonderful 11 year old ragdoll. Caring for her throughout her journey into her senior years has taught me how to read subtle feline body language, respect their boundaries and provide the gentle, patient care that older animals specifically require. Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs a mid day check in or a shy cat who prefers a quiet companion, I adapt my approach entirely to their comfort level. Your peace of mind is my top priority when entering your home. To ensure your pets are in the absolute safest hands possible, I hold a formal certificate in Animal First Aid and CPR. I know exactly how to recognise early signs of distress, monitor health indicators and act swiftly and calmly in an emergency. What I Offer During Drop In Visits: Fresh food and water refreshes tailored strictly to your feeding instructions. Litter box scooping, hutch spot cleaning and waste disposal.Stimulating playtime, gentle companionship and plenty of affection. Real time updates, detailed notes, and high quality photo check ins after every single visit. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same love, respect, and vigilance that I give to my own cat. I look forward to meeting you and your pets during a free initial Meet and Greet! I’m currently working part time 9am-2:30pm Monday to Friday. I can happily schedule your visits early hours of the morning or late evenings. I can also do weekends. If I’m coming into your home to feed your furry animal, I will offer a meet and greet service to make sure you’re happy with myself and my services. I have an up to date DBS check.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including Border Terriers called Dodge and Annie. I have also had a cat called Tilly. I’m very comfortable caring for different types of animals. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also have experience with dog walking through a family friend’s dog walking business, as well as walking and caring for dogs for family friends. My responsibilities include feeding pets, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient and always treat every pet as if they were my own. At the moment I’m waiting to start my new job, so I’m free most days. This means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. At the moment I don’t offer a service where pets stay in my home. However, when caring for pets in their owner’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while their owner is away, and I keep the home tidy and respectful during my stay.

Let me treat your dog like family while you're away! I currently work Monday to Friday, 7:30-4:30 with an hour lunch, however my work is very flexible with out of work responsibilities so they would be very understand and lenient with any commitments I have, so it will suit the needs of any dogs I look after I have a fenced garden, however I most likely prefer to house sit where your furry friend is more comfortable. I also have 2 big dogs and a cat so my house would be even more busy!
“Shellina is a Gem!!! She looked after my two dogs at short notice, both of which have their quirks. She was amazing with them and completely understood their individual needs. I live alone and it is so nice to have found someone I trust with my fur babies. Thank you Shellina! ❤️”

About: I’ve had my German Shepherd since I was 10, and training and caring for him has been one of my biggest passions. Since then, family and friends have trusted me to look after their pets, giving me experience with different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for a reactive dog, which taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive on walks. I absolutely love being outdoors and hiking, and I think theres no better walking buddy than a lovely dog! I am currently a university student so i am mostly free on weekdays since i usually have one lecture a day, and completely free on Saturdays, and i am free before 3 and after 5 on Sundays :) I follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and of course lots of attention and affection. I am also very big on respecting pets boundaries, my main priority being to make your pet feel safe and happy. I’m very respectful of the owner’s home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. 💗
“A massive thanks to Charlotte who took excellent care of Ozzie and our house whilst we were away. She made it so easy to arrange the sit and stayed in touch throughout. It really helped us enjoy our time away. I would thoroughly recommend Charlotte”

“Marc looked after Beth for us very well while we had an evening out. She has really taken to him and seemed very happy and well cared for. A lovely chap. Would recommend.”

“Isobel is incredible with our Cockapoo, Nellie! As soon as Isobel arrived, Nellie was so happy to see her and Isobel sends us lovely photos of them having lots of cuddles and playing! It’s so reassuring knowing our dog is with someone who genuinely cares about them! We always come home to a very safe and happy girl! Can’t thank Isobel enough for looking after her so well! 🥰 xx”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Crawley
Themariah was great. The dogs were so chilled when we got back, it was as if we hadn’t been away. She looked after them beautifully. The house was in great order when we got back also, just as we left it for Themariah. We had daily interactions with Themariah regarding the dogs, where she sent videos and pictures of them. It was a relief knowing the dogs were happy and also that the house was looked after whilst we were away.

Gabi looked after our 2 dogs for 10 days whilst we weee away. The communication and updates were brilliant. It gave us such peace of mind to know that the dogs were being well cared for. We returned to a lovely tidy house and very happy pets. Thanks so much Gabi. Xxx

Lauren was an absolute dream right from the beginning - this was the first time we had ever left our dog with someone other than family so we were a little anxious but Lauren made us feel so relaxed right from the beginning and the whole time we were away! Will definitely use her again and can’t thank her enough!

We had a really positive experience with Felicitas looking after Nova for the day. She was very well looked after, and I really appreciated receiving lots of updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which was so reassuring. She made sure Nova was mentally engaged with training and activities, while also recognising when she needed to settle and ensuring she had plenty of rest throughout the day. Nova seemed happy and comfortable, and it was lovely to see how attentive she was to her individual needs and routine. I felt very reassured leaving Nova in her care and would happily book with her again. Thank you for taking such good care of Nova! 💜🐾

Julia was great! It was the first time we’ve used a house sitter for our cat, and Julia made it all really easy. She sent me regular updates and photos and I felt completely relaxed knowing that Bennie was more than happy in Julia’s capable hands. Thank you Julia.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Crawley walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Crawley 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
