“Leah was incredible - she saved the day at very short notice and house sat for me after my sitter cancelled the morning of with no message! Without her I wouldn't have been able to go on my trip away - she took amazing care of Angel and my home, and was just generally lovely. Highly recommend her!”


“Francis came to our rescue after we had driven up from Plymouth to Brighton for Pride in the Park. We found we were not allowed to take our dog in the Park!! But, at very short notice Francis came to meet Chorkie and get acquainted. Within no time at all Chorkie was sitting on her lap giving her kisses. Chorkie has a skin irritation and Frances asked how we manage this and worked within our guidance while she was with him. Chorkie is also an old boy now (14) and the way Frances dealt with him so kindly and gently showed that she has cared for older dogs (she cared for her own dog until he was 17) Frances took Chorkie for 2 "sniff-led" walks - she has done a lot of research on the benefits of sniffing to a dogs welfare and mental health) We were sent several updates and lovely photos showing Chorkie happily sleeping in his bed, on his walks and eating his tea We would ABSOLUTELY use Frances again - she is a friendly, kind, gentle, knowledgeable sitter and we felt totally able to enjoy our event knowing Chorkie was so relaxed with her. I don't think we could have had a more perfect sitter for Chorkie and he agrees 😍”

“Rebecca looked after Poppy extremely well She took notes of all poppy's likes and dislikes Sent regular updates and photos, which was great . It was lovely to go away knowing Poppy was well looked after and the house was too I would have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca and we will certainly use her again . She even popped back after she'd left as our train was delayed and fed Poppy . Thank you Rebecca 😊”

“Freya was very friendly and took time to come and meet Bailey and get to know him. Freya asked questions and really wanted to know all about my animals. He house was left lovely and tidy too.”

“Amazing experience using Hannahs house sitting services for the first time! She was very thorough in making sure she had all of Lennys requirements/ routine info, so he would have the best care possible while we were away. During the time she was with him in our house, we recieved a couple of updates and pictures, which was really reassuring! I've come back this morning and my house is tidy and has clearly been looked after. More importantly Lenny was in great spirits and clearly had an excellent night with his new friend 🥰. So glad we've found Hannah for evenings when we need a break. Will most definitely be using her again!”

“Not even sure to start with how pleased we are we've found Morgan. It can be really tricky with a reactive dog but we have been really impressed throughout the process - from initial contact through to our meet up and then the booking itself. Bonnie seems to have warmed to her really well and we felt very confident leaving her with Morgan!”

“Jade looked after our three dogs while we went away for the weekend to a wedding. We have two Lurchers, one of which is quite nervous and a Cockapoo. I could tell instantly that Jade is a natural with dogs and I knew that my bunch were going to be happy with her. We had a relaxing weekend away because Jade kept in touch and sent us photos and updates which was great! I would not hesitate to recommend Jade as a dog and house sitter and would definitely ask her back again!”

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 are so pleased to have found Laura! She came to look after our very elderly Boston Terrier, Spartacus, whilst we went away for a wedding last weekend. Spartacus took to her straight away and we knew he was in very safe hands. Laura also kept our house beautifully. Excellent communication throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Laura look after him again. Thank you so much!”

“Lauren was an absolute star looking after our Staffie for a week from 1st January. She turned up on time, gave us regular updates and looked after our doggie and home with great care, even though she became very poorly herself during the stay. Others may have left us in the lurch but Lauren stayed, despite feeling ill, and we deeply appreciated that. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lauren to others, apart from wanting to keep her a secret so we can book her again!”

“Hannah was our emergency back-up dog sitter, but luckily we didn't need her in the end. However, her communication was top-notch and having her as a backup gave us peace of mind. Hannah was fantastic in terms of staying in touch. She responded quickly to our initial inquiry and was always available to discuss the details. Overall, we highly recommend Hannah. Her excellent communication and dedication to providing quality care make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking peace of mind in unforeseen situations. Thank you, Hannah, for your professionalism and support, even though we didn't end up needing your services this time.”

“Sian kept us updated with videos of our dog on walks and bouncing around the garden with joy! We came back to a happy dog and our home was just as we left it. Sian is a pleasure to deal with and our Staffy loves spending time with her.”

Hannah has just pet sit my two dogs and two cats while we were away. I could tell the dogs loved her the first time they met her and they seemed perfectly happy with her while we were gone. Hannah gave regular updates while we were gone and I felt 100% reassured that the pets were being looked after exactly how I would have done it. I felt bad that I didn’t check in more often but that’s because Hannah made me feel so comfortable that everything was totally fine at home. When we came back, the house was lovely and tidy and the bedsheets and towels had all been washed ready for us. I would 100% recommend Hannah to anyone.

Rebecca is a trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable and caring sitter. Rebecca looked after my 3 kittens professionally and with care and kindness, I cannot fault Rebecca as a cat sitter, will definitely use again. My home was spotless when I got home. The kittens were so well cared for and had lots of cuddles. Thank you so much Becky

I don't think we could have had a more perfect sitter for Chorkie and he agrees 😍

Natasha looked after our Boxer Willow for 7 days in June. Willow is a loving friendly dog who loves interaction with people but she can be a bit demanding! However, Natasha's calming influence soon won over and we had regular reassuring updates that Willow was relaxed and enjoying being looked after with friendly care. Our house was treated with utmost respect, and we returned to find a very contented Boxer dog. It would be a pleasure to ask Natasha to care for her on future occasions. Highly recommended. Maurice and Jacquie

Considering 1st time using this app I am very impressed with monika and the care she gave my molly whilst I was abroad. I had daily updates with photos and I can honestly say knowing she was there to help made my worries go away. So so happy and will definitely use Monika again.

Tasha has looked after Atlas a few times now and every time she has been amazing! She keeps me updated throughout the day with updates and pictures and Atlas absolutely loves her! He is always without fail so tired when we get back so I know he’s been getting lots of walks! Will 100% continue booking with Tasha to look after Atlas again in the future :)

We just had Lilli stay at our house while we were away on honeymoon for 11 days. She is absolutely fantastic! Our Staffie absolutely adores her and he was really well looked after, as was the house. In fact I think the house was cleaner when we got back than when we left it! I cannot recommend Lilli highly enough, although part of me wants to keep her a secret so she doesn’t get too booked up…

FAQs for House Sitting – Eastbourne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eastbourne on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,279 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eastbourne. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne 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. 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.
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.
