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.

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 :)

About: The companionship of animals has always been part of my life. Growing up in the countryside our dogs, Kimmy & Lady - Rough Collies & Tramps a Lab/Alsatain cross were apart everyday life and my best friends. For the last five years I've regularly looked after friends' dogs, so I have become accustom to the different rhythms a dog can have, the ones who want a good long walk to settle, the ones who just want you near, the ones who take a little longer to trust a new face and the ones who don't. There's a particular kind of trust that builds slowly over time with an older animal too, a language of small signals, and a practice of paying real attention, which one learns to read. I've also shared my home with cats for most of my adult years, two of whom lived a good life all the way to 21 and 23, so I'm well practiced with the needs of aging pets generally, not just dogs. Right now I share my home with a 12 year old moggie/Norwegian Forest cat, who came to me as a rescue at six and settled beautifully once he felt safe. So I know what it is to live alongside family pets who have their own mind, their own rhythm, and their own way of letting you in. Whether it's a puppy full of energy or an old soul who moves a little slower these days, I meet each animal as they are. No rushing, no forcing, just quiet attentiveness and the kind of care I'd want for my own. If you're picturing your dog settled, unbothered, still themselves while you're away that's exactly what I'm here to give them. I am a self employed sound and movement coach and manage my own appointments & sessions accordingly, so bookings vary from day to day and at various times throughout the day.I also deliver my services online so can be at home so variety, flexibility is why looking after pets works in synergy with what I do, . I find out as much as possible about your pets likes & dislikes, habits and the things you know work well. I'm there to make sure that your home and pet is cared for as if you were there, so keeping things as normal and familiar as possible. favorite toys, sleeping & eating patterns. Discipline & routines eg, re allowed or not on furniture, sit & wait before receiving food. no begging or tip bits, etc.

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: 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.

About: I'm Eva... a fun-loving, outgoing and bubbly individual who enjoys being outside in nature! I have been housesitting / petsitting for private owners for around 10 years. I am passionate about all animals… but dogs & cats are my speciality! I grew up with lots of pets - ranging from dogs, cats, tortoises, fish and chickens! In addition to the above, I do have a small amount of experience for caring for more unique pets such as chickens, pigs, 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 was also a Receptionist at my local vets in Horsham. I have also volunteered at Shoreham Dogs Trust in previous years too, with cleaning kennels and walking. I have been fortunate enough to build a long lasting relationships with my previous clients, often house / petsitting for several years or multiple times a year. I pride myself on providing a professional and reliable service, where I will look after your pets and home the exact same way you would. I am now currently employed full-time. Therefore my working hours are 8am - 5pm, Monday to Friday during the week only. Please send me a message with what you are looking for care wise, and we can look to see what works. When I’m staying at an owners 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.

Sammy did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after Luna for us and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She logged all of her visits and sent us photos and/or videos every day, which was so reassuring. Her communication leading upto and during the time we were away was first class and we coukdn't have wished for a better sitter to look after Luna for us 😊 We would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you for everything Sammy, you've been amazing!

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

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Horsham pet parents with similar pet households.

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.
