“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.”
“Amy came to the home a couple of times before the stay to meet with Edie and get to know her and go out for a couple of walks with her, this has been really good to help Edie who can be a bit nervous of change. Amy kept me informed whilst we were away, sending pictures of pickle and Edie to let me know how they were. Really happy with the way the way they were looked after. Will definitely use Amy again”
“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 🫶🏼”
About: Hello! I'm Jess, a friendly and attentive dog sitter based in Hastings. I've been a lifelong dog lover, having had dogs in my family since the day I was born - including growing up with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Over the years, I've looked after dogs of all kinds for friends and family who rely on me to give their pets the highest standard of care. Having raised pups as well as caring for one of my own dogs through to the age of 16, I understand care needs at every stage of life. Whether your dog is a playful, high-energy pup who loves long walks or a gentle senior who prefers slow strolls and chill nap times, I tailor my routine entirely around their needs. I specialise in weekend house sitting and dog walking, coming directly to your home so your dog can stay relaxed in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you're away. I am always happy to keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you know your pup is safe, happy, and well-cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions - I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work full-time during the week, making weekends my main focus for pet care! I am fully available Friday evening through Sunday for weekend house sitting, overnight care, and dog walking. Depending on my work hours, I can also potentially accommodate weekday evening walks or check-ins. Because my weekends are entirely dedicated to dog sitting, your pup will get my full, undivided attention! I want your dog to feel like their regular routine hasn't changed at all while you're away! I always like to learn about their usual habits beforehand, so please feel free to share their feeding schedule, healthcare needs, favourite walking spots, or any fun quirks. I treat every owner's home with complete respect, strictly following your security and care instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your weekend with complete peace of mind!
“Amazing, lovely woman.My dog loves her!!Incredible, at such short notice too.Really delivered with regular pics. Everything and more!!!So hire Philippa as she’s fab!!”
“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 😻”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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: I’ve always been a massive animal lover. I donate to charities for animals and liked doing volunteer work with animals whilst studying previously. I’ve managed to save and return lost dogs to their owners throughout my experience of volunteering. I like to try and keep things cheap and affordable for families looking to book my services as I know financially life can become stressful! Please do not hesitate to ask for lower prices, I’m willing to accept offers!☺️I’m currently working on a zero hour contract so I have flexibility for your pets. On days of working, I can get up early to ensure your pet has been out for a morning walk and to the toilet. I have a furbo so I can watch your pets whilst at work, and I do 6 hour days at most so your animals will not be left too long. Water and food always put down with plenty of toys! I will set up a cozy corner for your animal to rest, have plenty of treats and calming scents at the ready for any anxious ones! Always happy to have lots of cuddles and walks to let off energy.
“Jake really helped me out with a last minute house sitting when my pup went into season one day before going on holiday! Lovely lad that kept me updated with daily videos and news. Would 100% recommend and will use again.”
“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 been looking after pretty kitties for 4 years! You will definitely receive 100s of photos of your cats all of the time :) I am currently at university looking to make some extra money to cover my costs! If it is just checking in and feeding I would prefer when it is light :) I have my own cat so I understand pets deserve space and time to settle into meeting new people! My cat is very timid so I will try my best not to overwhelm as I understand how they feel! Of course if your pet is very friendly I am more than happy to shower your furry friend in love! I can clean litter trays, wash up pet dishes and provide pill medication if needed.
About: I’m a dog groomer, I can take all dogs to work with me so they won’t be left alone. My dog is amazing with all size and breeds, I can assure your pup will be in great care I’m a dog groomer, I work 9am-6pm 5 days a week however I can bring your pup to work with me so play time never ends. I have a fenced off enclosed garden, local parks and fields for nice long walks and have a crate if needed. Cozy bed and plenty of treats.

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.
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.
I highly recommend Amy for pet sitting. She is friendly and kind and made me feel safe leaving my cat for three nights. Bonnie is an ex ferel cat and does not trust easily. Amy got around her and gave her confidence. I am delighted to have found Amy and look forward to using her again.
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.
