“Samantha was fantastic, I would not hesitate to book her again to watch my Bubbles. Communication was great, she understood my dog and his needs, allowing him the space and time for him to get used to her, which didn't take long. She has an excellent understanding of dogs and their needs and personality quirks. I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home with my dog and enjoyed seeing many pictures and videos of how they spent time together. If you want to get away and not worry about how your furry family member is doing, book with Samantha.”
“Cleo had a taster day with Jo which has put our mind at ease ahead of our holiday when she will be with her for 6 days. She sent pupdates and a photo during the day which was very reassuring. Cleo is very anxious around new people but she seemed to really like her.”
“We came home to two very happy and relaxed cats after Kasia looked after them for three days. We opted for house sitting as opposed to pop in visits and what a difference it made to our furry babies! They had obviously been really glad to have their regular daily routine undisturbed as well as the company, strokes, cuddles and games they got from Kasia who followed our instructions really well and left our house in perfect condition. Our cats warmed to her really quickly which was a great sign as they are both quite sensitive and we got updates and photos on a daily basis making us feel relaxed and confident that they were in good hands. We would highly recommend Kasia as she was reliable and trustworthy with an obvious flare for bonding quickly with other peoples pets. Thank you Kasia 😻”
“Hollie and James were like a breath of fresh air for us. They were prompt, very polite and I felt at ease leaving my 3 very different cats with them. They looked after my cats very well, kept my home clean and tidy and when I came back my cats were very chilled out. I have asked them to cat sit again and I highly recommend them . Thanks Hollie and James 🫶🏼”
“Amy was terrific. Punctual, professional and adaptable, I was impressed as her cool head when it was discovered that I had left her a poorly cut key to access my house and that I had bought the wrong parking pass for her car. Despite my errors, Amy rolled with the issues, solved problems and still managed to take care of my dogs under these stressful conditions. When I returned from my trip, I could barely tell that Amy had stayed. The flat was clean, orderly and well taken care of. Best of all, I think my dogs fell in love with her and probably now prefer her to me. I will definitely be asking Amy to stay again when next I need to travel or go to London for work.”
“Abby was very polite, professional and very understanding to my 2 dogs who do not like to be left alone for any period of time. Abby looked after my 2 freagles for 4 nights and 4 days. Abby kept in constant contact with swift replies to questions along with updates and photos during her stay. I could not ask for anyone more perfect to look after my dogs in future and will definitely use her service again and recommend her to all my friends.”
“Paul was kind and thoughtful, and although he was quite new to dog sitting he really took things in his stride despite being outside his comfort zone at times. He was respectful to us as owners and very patient with our dog who can sometimes be a handful. He did an overnight sit in our house and left the place as he found it. Paul was very honest and communicative at all times and really worked hard to ensure he did the best job he possibly good!”
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs and cats and absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, affection and care, making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe and happy while you’re away. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, having lots of cuddles and getting involved in playtime. I have a secure garden, as well as access to a massive secure field, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore and burn off some energy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, running around or simply curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. 🐶❤️ Your pet’s happiness, safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own! I work from home most of the week, apart from Wednesdays when I go into the office. This means I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I can provide morning and evening walks, as well as playtime, cuddles and lots of company throughout the day. I also have a large, secure field attached to my house, which means I can take dogs out on my lunch break for some extra exercise, running around and exploring. Working from home means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to fit their care around my daily routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and make sure they get all the exercise, attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I’ll take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality and individual needs, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. I have a secure garden and a large secure field attached to my home, giving pets plenty of safe space to enjoy themselves. I’ll always make sure doors, gates and outdoor areas are secure and will never take unnecessary risks with your pet. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, love and plenty of reassurance. ❤️
“Couldn't be happier with Jake. He is very friendly, warm and welcoming. The dogs absolutely loved him. He was very communicative and sent regular updates. Very happy with Jake and highly recommend.”
“Tsarina is simply brilliant — really taking the time to understand our dogs and making sure they were happy while we were out. We instantly felt confident of her care and her abilities with animals and we are looking forward to booking her again.”
About: l've always had a love for animals and have years of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have two dogs, Tomas and Archie, who are my world! They're friendly, well behaved, and love making new friends. I know how important it is to create a safe, happy, and loving environment - that's exactly what I offer for your pets. I work from home four days a week, with Wednesdays off and weekends free. You'll usually find me out and about with the dogs - beach walks, exploring the woods, and plenty of fresh air and fun! My boys are on a raw food diet, well trained, friendly, great with dogs, cats and children, crate trained, calm, confident and used to all sorts!🐶🙂
“I asked Jasuthan for help for second time and he was very polite, friendly and reliable. He helped me to feed our kitten on a daily basis and has been sending me the pictures daily, too. I would definitely recommend his services.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos! Don’t hesitate to message me, Della 😊 I work full time so weekdays I'm available for evening dog walks/ drop in visits (5pm onwards) At the weekends I am able to provide all day care or they can board from Friday evenings right the way through the weekend. We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Isabelle was brilliant. We went through my dogs food, and walked together before I went away, and I was really happy that they were in good competent hands. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs from a young age and have five years of personal experience as a proud co-dog owner. I am confident and experienced with a wide variety of breeds — from tiny Chihuahuas and playful French Bulldogs to energetic Whippets and strong Rottweilers. No matter the size or personality, I will truly love and welcome every dog as if they were my own. I currently work full-time; however, since I live on-site I am always around, the little pooch can join me or take some rest! , I have plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pups. I offer boarding seven days a week at any time. One of the best parts of where I live is the beautiful woodland walk right on our doorstep, as well as acres of open land — perfect for daily walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. I can’t wait to welcome your dog into a safe, loving, and fun environment. I have a partially secure outdoor area where your dog can safely enjoy some playtime, as well as beautiful woodland surroundings that are perfect for daily walks and adventures. I co-own my own dog — my little princess — who currently lives with her other parent full-time, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give to your furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pup and make them feel right at home.
“I chose Hollie because she has cats of her own and, on meeting Ariel, immediately made friends. Hollie was terrific, sending me little videos of Ariel during their time together and communication was top notch. I will definitely use her again.”

I can’t recommend Chloe highly enough! She was great with communication, always responding promptly and shared updates during her stay. She had a good sense of how to interact with my sensitive giant-breed dog, and he warmed up to her quickly. Chloe followed all my instructions and I came home to a happy dog :) Really appreciate the great care!
Samantha was fantastic, I would not hesitate to book her again to watch my Bubbles. Communication was great, she understood my dog and his needs, allowing him the space and time for him to get used to her, which didn't take long. She has an excellent understanding of dogs and their needs and personality quirks. I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home with my dog and enjoyed seeing many pictures and videos of how they spent time together. If you want to get away and not worry about how your furry family member is doing, book with Samantha.

Abby kept in constant contact with swift replies to questions along with updates and photos during her stay. I could not ask for anyone more perfect to look after my dogs in future and will definitely use her service again and recommend her to all my friends.
What an absolutely fantastic experience with Violetta. Honestly, we couldn't be happier with how she treated our girl and cared for her needs. She is a lovely person and our girl instantly took to her and felt at ease. After a hard days work out girl is calm and relaxed which speaks volumes about Violetta's care and attention. I highly recommend you sample her services, you wont be disappointed!! 😀
Emma looked after our rescue dog Terry, staying in our home for a week and we can’t thank her enough. From start to finish, Emma kept us informed with messages and pictures. She visited twice beforehand to get to know Terry and learn about his ways. She gave him his medication and was calm and resourceful when he showed some reactivity caused by his background. Emma was professional throughout, and we knew our dog was in excellent hands. I can wholeheartedly recommend Emma, who we will be asking to dog sit again and again.
Natasha was so relaxed and chilled that my worries about leaving our dog for the first time evaporated. It really just felt like she was going to be looked after by a friend rather than a big deal and that worked really well for us. Our dog Honey loved spending time with Natasha and her family and they treated her like their own, her children even made a “doggy hotel” for her. Thank you Natasha xxx
Hollie and James are both really lovely people, who we are really pleased to have in our home and look after our pets. They were always in touch with photographs, to let us know our puppy was doing fine, as well as the cat. When we were home, it was like they hadn't been there. No sign of any thing out of place or and mess. They even stripped the bed and cleaned the floors. Highly recommended, we'll be using again. Thank you both very much.
This was the first time we’ve been out of the country without our dog and she couldn’t have been in safer hands. Jordie was an excellent communicator and the house was spotless on our return. Would highly recommend Jordie to stay with your pets. Thanks so much for taking great care of our girl!

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 Hastings 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 Hastings 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.
