“Martine and Teresa were absolutely great start to finish. They replied to our initial request very quickly and were able to drop round for a chat the same day. They were both very friendly and evident animal lovers which gave us great confidence in them. They sent frequent pictures while we were away and gave updates about what our cat Ollie was up to. Highly recommend and would be happy to book again.”

“Jenna took wonderful care of my cat while we were away. She gave her lots of special attention and is clearly great with animals. I really appreciated the photos and updates too.”

“Sophie has been great, she comes to let my dog out while I'm at work. My dog has had some ongoing medical bits going on and Sophie has taken it all in her stride. She leaves great updates so you don't have to worry. I would highly recommend!”
About: My mum and I have lived with dogs and cats are whole lives. We have a sausage dog named Charlie who is the beloved baby of the family. We also have two cats: Lola and Leo. Charlie and the cats gets along wonderfully with small dogs- the more little doggos around, the merrier! We provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like family. My mum and I both work from home, so there will always be someone around to give your dog attention, playtime, and regular toilet breaks. I’ll be starting my Master’s program in September, but she’ll be happily continuing with dog sitting while I study. Our fenced garden offers a safe space for outdoor time, and Charlie enjoys popping in and out through the cat flap. I’ll be home everyday to take the dogs for walks if desired and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“Wonderful person, my crazy dog absolutely adores Maxine. We have rabbits which Maxine kept an eye on at the same time! She sent regular updates which was really appreciated, and was great to talk to! Highly recommend”

“Siobhan looked after my cat during my 10 day holiday to South Africa. I got daily photos and updates, it’s clear to see my cat loves her! She has a brilliant way with both animals and humans and I will definitely be a repeat customer. Top marks, cannot recommend Siobhan highly enough!”

“Amazing pet sitter, really friendly and helpful. Had a small hitch with our door lock breaking and he kept us informed and was super patience with us. Keeps us really well informed and would definitely recommend.”


About: I’ve always been around dogs and have lots of hands-on experience caring for them. Alongside my own three-year-old Golden Retriever, Milo, I regularly look after family and friends’ dogs, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes and personalities. Milo is a friendly, playful dog who loves walks, swimming and meeting new friends, but I understand that every dog is different and has their own personality. Some dogs love the excitement of group walks, while others prefer their own space and a quieter one-to-one walk — I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes your dog feel comfortable and happy. I’m confident looking after all types of dogs, from energetic puppies who need plenty of exercise and attention, to older dogs who prefer a gentler pace. I’m also happy to follow any routines your dog is used to, including feeding schedules, medication, training routines or any special requirements. My priority is always making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or house sitting, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to offer walks, drop-in visits and house sitting throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine, whether they need a regular daily walk, a lunchtime visit, some company while you’re out, or care while you’re away. I understand that dogs thrive on consistency, so I’ll always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and any little things that help them feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I take the time to get to know each dog individually, including their personality, energy levels and any specific needs they may have. I’m happy to follow your instructions around feeding, medication, routines and anything else that helps your dog feel settled. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is comfortable and safe, whether that’s enjoying a fun group walk with suitable companions or having a quieter one-to-one walk if they prefer their own space. I’ll always treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I would expect for Milo. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
About: My kitten of 18 years passed away last year, so I now have an empty nest. I know from experience how hard it is to find someone you trust to leave your baby with when you need to go away, so I'm offering a home from home for your pet. I have experience in giving all types of medication, and understanding different behaviours... and most important of all, your pet will be welcome up on the couch for cuddles. I am home all day so they will not be left alone, and can send you updates and photos as often as you wish :) I work from home, so your pet will have my attention whenever they want or need. This also means I can fit in any feeding or medication schedual. I will also be free to contact any time. I am home all day, so your baby will not be left alone... unless that's their thing! If they're young and want play time, I'll be there to play... or if they're a bit older and just want to lay on the couch and get stroked I can do that too :)
“Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our 2 cats. We received a message and photo every evening, and the boys looked extremely happy. Sam was very professional, and we are extremel pleased. Would definately recommend, and book again”
About: Hi! I’m Eszter and I’m a reliable and caring animal lover based in Southwater. I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me! I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. 😊 My work schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of days off to look after your fur baby! I also have a car and I don’t mind if it gets dirty after a big walk. I live right next to a park so it’s super easy to go for big walks. I also have a small garden if your dog wants some fresh air!
About: I grew up around working dogs as well as having a family dog Saffie. She unfortunately passed last summer at age 13. I have a lot of love for her that I want to share to other dogs and animals and I would love to support you and your pet in any way possible. I am happy to work how your animal works best. If they need brain games, or running, or sniffing, or just a slow walk I am very happy to oblige. I have experience working with older dogs and I really understand how difficult it can be to keep them active and comfortable so anything I am able to do for that I will, e.g. swimming, soft ground, etc I am more than happy to do. I am also very willing to work with other animals as well. I have experience with rodents such as gerbils and rats, and I love all animals so anything you've got that needs looking after, I'm open to! Sometimes the freelance work picks up so I become limited on the amount of free time I have but I will keep my calendar as updated as I possibly can! I am working freelance in Film and TV at the moment but I have always had a love of animals, big and small. I have a very flexible calendar and would love to spend my time not working getting to spend some time with animals! I am very happy to meet your dog first to help get to know them and let them get to know me first. I am keen to learn and include everything that you normally like to do with your pet to make them as comfortable as possible

About: I'm Eva... a fun-loving, outgoing and bubbly individual. I have been housesitting / petsitting for private clients since 2016. I am passionate about all animals, but dogs & cats are my speciality. I grew up with lots of pets, which help shaped my adoration for caring for small beings. In addition to the above - I do have a small amount of experience for caring for farm animals i.e. chickens, pigs, sheep, horses and goats! My previous job roles within the animal industry include dog day care assistant and trainer, operations assistant at one of the largest dog day care centres in Surrey and one of the head receptionists at my local vets. I have also volunteered at Shoreham Dogs Trust in previous years too.

When I’m staying at a clients house - I like to ensure I’m fully equipped with any information about the safety of the property i.e any locks / gates/ outdoor space. As well as where the pet needs to be fed, bathed or the area that they sleep best in. I view animals like people - they all have different personalities / likes and dislikes and I’ll treat your pet in the exact same way you would at your own home. It’s super important for them to feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I will always be honest and inform you of any issues or challenges that potentially arise - without causing fear or worry.
About: I come from a large family that has always had both cats and dogs, and it was a requirement that everyone in the family help out, but I always found myself drawn to be the one who took care of the dogs. This has continued to be true and whenever friends or family needs a dog sitter I'm the first to volunteer. I have experience with walking dogs on many different types of leads and collar/harness'. I also have experience with crate training dogs. I've currently taken a sabbatical from working in childcare to work on my book. This gives me lots of time to play with dogs and cats, and doing so will keep my enthusiasm high. I have experienced multiple different dog training programs over the years and one thing I've learnt is that all dogs have their own unique foibles that have to be catered for. At the same time all dogs that I've met are always happiest when kept within a routine that they can recognise. This is why I will always be willing to hear how you care for your dog so that I can ensure that they are as happy as possible. Whether that simply means ensuring a certain blanket is always visible or having a particular treat at a special moment.

“Esme took Harley for a lovely walk and he looked very happy and relaxed in his pictures. As a newcomer to the App, Esme has been very accommodating and I found the report card very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to request Esme again.”

Lucy is a reliable, friendly and brilliant pet sitter. She has looked after our two cats, gecko and snake a few times now, and I always feel like I can trust my pets and home with her. She always sends daily updates with photos of the pets, and thorougly looks aftet the pets. I will rebook Lucy as much as I can in the future for my holidays!

Jenna looked after our two cats and puppy for an hour while we were out, and she was fantastic. She made sure everyone was fed, took the puppy out a couple of times to do her business, & kept me updated with lovely photo messages while we were out for the evening. It was really reassuring to see the pets so relaxed and well cared for. When we got home, all three were very happy and content. I’d definitely recommend them and would happily book again

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 Horsham 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!

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
