About: I’ve always had a deep love for all animals and have many years experience with cats and dogs. With a variety of breeds and ages. Count me and my husband James as reliable and trustworthy people who would love to be a part of your furry friends life. I understand all animals are unique and I take the time to learn them and stick to routine they need. I have a lovely big fenced garden for them to enjoy when staying with me and live right by a walking path to enjoy walks often. Your pet will feel right at home with me when staying at mine. I work part time as radiographer in NHS, but make sure I have the time to give your animal the attention they need. I set my schedule to work around your needs and only put availability when I’m not working. I have a fenced garden which is large and plenty of space to play and roam around. I make sure they feel at home at all times
“Monika came to meet us before we went away and she was very affectionate towards Magnus and courteous and professional too. While away, I received regular updates and photos which was reassuring. I came home to a happy cat. I’d definitely ask Monika to look after Magnus in the future. Thank you!”
About: I have 4 years of experience as a dog sitter and a lifelong love and understanding of dogs, having lived with them since childhood. I am confident in caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and routines, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, walks and reassurance. I am also confident in supporting senior dogs, including those who may need a slower pace, extra patience, gentle handling, medication reminders or additional comfort. I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining routines and creating a peaceful home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. I don't have any rules for the bed or furniture, so the entire home is for them to use and feel comfortable. I love for the dogs to socialise and meet new friends. I don't have our own dog, so I board one or two dogs at a time(if they are good match) , so they can have all the attention. The home is completely pet-friendly. I live close to a park and I walk pets 2-3 times a day,(unless there are special requirements). I'm truly excited to meet your best friend, feel free to reach out to me anytime. Requested information about your pet Please let me know any likes and dislikes, special needs or anything I should be aware of during the stay. I will be more than happy to accommodate special requests to make sure your doggie has a good time and is taken care This are the list of information I need from your dog ahead of the sitting: - Toilet breaks time - Walking routine - Food routine - Energy level - Any special requests/needs/preferences

“I was concerned about leaving Alfie and Tikki when I had only adopted them in January. My concern was completely unnecessary. Janet so clearly is used to being around cats and likes being around cats. She spent a lot of time with them, not only with the necessaries but also tending to Alfie and Tikki's emotional needs. I came home to two relaxed cats who immediately forgave me for leaving them. Janet's diary of events awaiting me was comprehensive and entertaining. I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting duties.”

Thea lived to 12 years old, which is a good age for a rabbit. I had a border terrier called Ruby. I also had a cat at university that was imaginatively called Cat. I look after my neighbour's cats while they are away, and I also had my friend's Chocolate Labrador called Oscar live with me for several weeks while they had housing difficulties.

I own my house, and I live alone. At the moment, I have no pets. My 11-year-old daughter stays with me at weekends.
“Morgan was absolutely amazing when she came to meet the dogs yesterday. One of the dogs was a little nervous, but Morgan handled it absolutely perfectly and by the end they were best friends! Morgan took her time to get to know each of the dogs, she paid them real attention and although they’re super hyper nothing put her off at all!! I trust her completely with Cooper and Winnie and know they’re going to be in loving hands when we go away🐾❤️”

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa, tailored walks or sending daily pupdates with photos, I go the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, happy and loved I work remotely, which means I can pet sit around my job with complete flexibility. Whether I’m caring for dogs or cats, I build my workday around their routine – from morning walks and playtime to feeding schedules and quiet company throughout the day. Since I can work from anywhere, I’m able to stay in your home making sure your pets feel safe, settled and never alone for long. Being at home means I’m always close by for attention, cuddles, or just a reassuring presence. When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your routines closely – from feeding times and walk schedules to play sessions and cuddle preferences. I take care to respect your home, keeping things clean and tidy and always making sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved in their own space. Whether your cat likes quiet company or your dog needs active play, I adapt to their needs and personality. I also send regular updates with photos, so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away.

Asking Jo to look after our cats for the second time, was an easy choice… absolutely recommend & will be choosing Jo in the future too… Jo, 100% puts my mind at ease when leaving the cats for any amount of time. It was just a couple of days this time but three weeks last time… Regular updates & photos sent each day…Returning home to three well-looked after, calm kitties… Honestly, anyone feeling anxious about leaving their pets when going away, contact Jo 👍

I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting duties.
Jade was brilliant - she was so accommodating despite being a last minute request, did everything we asked and more. She sent us pictures whilst we were away which is always reassuring, and both our cats seemed totally happy on return which we can’t argue with. Would happily recommend Jade to anyone looking for someone to check in or take care of their pets! Thank you, Jade :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Eastbourne on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 620 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Eastbourne. About 92% of Eastbourne 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.
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 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.
