“Leah was so helpful and accommodating, agreeing to look after Magnus at such short notice. She was great at keeping in touch and sending photos when she visited him each day. Leah is a useful contact for future services. Thank you”
“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 grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds! My Dad worked for Labrador Rescue, so we always had rescue dogs with varying needs (including naughty pups!) I'm confident with most behaviour, have looked after senior doggies and also puppies. I'm currently a proud cat mum, but have also had parrots, rabbits, chickens, horses and an african hedgehog! I am self employed, so fairly flexible. I work out of the house part time. My usual hours are from 9am to 2pm, but also have the availability to pop back every 2-3 hours if needed. I can care for your pets in your home and am available for overnight stays. Lunchtime and afternoon walkies, and I can also do pop ins several times a day for cuddles and playtime.

I am happy to work around your pets individual routine and needs. I enjoy having animals in my day and I will always make sure they receive the best attention, care and affection.

I am also happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your cat is safe and well cared for.
“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.”
“Hi Liz thanks so much for taking care of Bean today. He was relaxed when I got home so he was clearly happy. The photos you shared are lovely too! Look forward to seeing you again soon.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. 🐾 I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, gerbils and fish, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two dogs of my own, Arlo and Lola, and I’ve also had the very special experience of having a dog who was my absolute best friend. Sadly, he passed away, but he taught me just how much love and happiness a dog can bring into your life. I also grew up with four cats who I absolutely adored. I’m experienced with all the day-to-day things that come with looking after animals, including walking, feeding, grooming, playing, giving them plenty of attention and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether your pet wants a long walk and lots of playtime, some gentle grooming, or simply a cosy cuddle on the sofa, I’m very happy to oblige! 🥰 I especially adore a good snuggle and a bit of playtime. **A fun fact about me:** every year for my dogs’ birthdays, they get a brand-new harness and collar set. This year Arlo chose a Woody from *Toy Story* set, while Lola has the cutest purple hearts and daisies! 💜🌼 I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they have a wonderful time while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰 I’m available for dog sitting most weekends, but I’m also happy to discuss weekday dates to suit everyone. My availability can change, so please ask! :) I’ll care for your pets exactly as I’d expect someone to care for my fluffies, with endless love, patience, kindness, respect and attention at all times.

We booked Jade to visit our cat mornings and evenings whilst we went away for a week. Jade’s communication was excellent, sending us multiple pictures daily and letting us know when she was going in to see our cat. She stayed with her to play and offer some affection, which we know our cut would’ve loved. Cannot recommend Jade highly enough for friendly, reliable and professional pet care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
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 👍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Eastbourne on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 747 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Eastbourne. About 88% 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.
