“Irina provided an excellent cat sitting service. She was very professional and gave us peace of mind that our cats were being well looked after whilst we were away. She also provided regular updates. We would certainly have Irina look after our cats when we go away again and would recommend her to anyone. The cats had a ball!”
“We wouldn't hesitate to use Luna again and couldn't recommend her enough. She was wonderful with our cat, Violet. She sent updates and photos after each visit, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up with 12 dogs at home and countless weekends spent at dog agility shows. This grew into a lifelong love of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've spent the past 10 years dog sitting and walking, through word-of-mouth recommendation, until someone suggested I join Rover! I am an easy going and naturally active person, so I love to take dogs on long walks, or take them socializing in cafes (if they like to!), and do basic trick training. I've experience with dogs of all sizes, from collies to GSD's and retired greyhounds to Chihuahuas. I'm a freelancer and part-time yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to spend with four legged friends, so you can be sure they get most of my attention! I plan my work around my pups, not the other way around. At mine: I have a dog friendly apartment on ground floor, no garden but quick access to St Annes garden OR Palmeria Square. I have room to set up a crate if that is your preference. I have enrichment toys and a dog bed here too. At yours: I will follow your preferred instructions! Walking: I always stay present with the dog, I don't walk with headphones in and I am mindful of distractions or the dog's personality. I am happy to follow your preference on walk type, length, and location (within radius!) Cafe socializing: if you would like your dog to spend time in cafes and socialise, I love this too! not all dogs enjoy this, some love it, so this is down to preference. Again, the dogs comfort and tolerance is my number one priority!
“Ting is so great with my two rescues! They can be very neurotic in their own special ways haha and she handles them wonderfully, they were very happy, fed and tired out when I got home :) Thanks so much!”
About: I love animals and grew up around dogs, cats, chinchillas, birds and fish! I’ve been in London just over 10 years and just moved to Brighton last summer. I’ve sat dogs and cats for numerous Rover users and friends, and also used to have a neighbour’s cat drop in for visits every day for years before my recent Brighton move. I genuinely want to spend time with animals and would happily walk dogs or drop in to feed/ play with cats in my area. Happy to host pets at my place as. I wouldn’t be comfortable taking in pets from multiple households at the same time as this is largely set up for companionship rather than revenue while my partner and I work our life out to have a pet (or more likely pets) or our own . Can also stay at yours with a bit of an advance notice. I work a nearly fully remote job so am around pretty much all working weeks and most weekends :) These days I have a few calls a day totalling around two to three hours so I am truly flexible with my pet sitting schedule I don’t have a garden but my flat is right by a few greens and a large park is 10mins away. I have no toxic plants for cats or dogs. I’ve cared for senior dogs and cats so am no stranger to a tablet pusher or a secret ham pill roll. Have also cared for cats with asthma and given them inhalers.
“Annabel was a fantastic friend to my cat while I was away for a week. Her kindness, understanding and caring nature meant that Blossom was very happy and looked forward to her daily visits. I would not hesitate to recommend Annabel - she really is certainly someone that can be relied on with any pet she is asked to look after. Thank you so much to Annabel!”
“Sophie dropped in to feed our cat George while we were away and I will definitely be booking with her again. Sophie was really responsive and sent us lots of pictures and updates on how George was doing, and gave him lots of pets while she was there. Thanks so much Sophie :)”
“Kate did a superb job checking in on and feeding our cat Oskar while we were away overnight. Oskar is a senior cat and quite shy but he took to Kate straightaway and looked completely relaxed in the video updates Kate shared. Excellent all round.”
“After a successful couple of meet & greets, Beth’s first one hour visit seemed to go well. Sookie is a nervous rescue and can take time to warm up to new people. Although she wasn’t brave enough to approach Beth that day, she was comfortable and relaxed enough to have a snooze while she was there. Which shows that she isn’t overly worried about Beth, who didn’t try to push things too fast and went at Sookie’s pace, allowing her to feel that relaxed she could close her eyes. Very happy with Beth and her knowledge of handling nervous dogs.”
“Super friendly, kind and professional - I really appreciated the updates on how my cat Precious was (even if she was attacking her!!). Would definitely recommend - thanks again Suzana :)”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire, nearly 30 years of life, and have experience with various breeds, ages and temperaments. I hope to one day have my own but until then I would love to hang out with & look after yours! Whether that be keeping them company while you're away, taking them on their daily walks or dropping in to make sure they're fed and watered. I recently left my full time job so I am available pretty much all day every day! I am actively job-seeking so I can’t currently commit to repeat / weekly / long term care! Apologies! I understand things can be relatively last minute! So whatever time / day works best for you generally works for me too! I live with my boyfriend who loves to get equally fully involved with any dog in our care! My Home: No garden but a peaceful and spacious flat with a balcony that is a 3 minute walk from St. Ann’s Well gardens, 4 minutes from Hove Lawns and the seafront and 15 minutes from Dyke Road Park/Hove Green. Currently no car but 30 seconds from Western Road bus stops or 12 minute walk from the station if travel is ever required for a bigger walk in Preston or Stanmer Park!
About: I'm a veterinary Surgeon. Love helping my friends and others to look after their pets. I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits and hamster for the last 5 years. I'm keen to go to their homes, or even taken them to mine. I have a friendly dog myself and had a cat a few years ago. I love all animals. Keen to do early walks in the mornings before going to work and evenings. Happy to help when people away on holidays over summer. Can take pets to my place or happy to stay at others place. I have cosy flat near 2min walk from Hove Park. Don't mind if pets are on furniture. Always keep doors and windows locked for their saftey. I normally take the dogs with me when I go to work. I normally work at yards and Farms where doggies are allowed under supervision.
About: I’m a mama to three cats that I love very much. I love dogs too, and have been around them my whole life. Previously had a German Shepherd so am very comfortable with big and small dogs. Regularly dogsit for my partners parents as well as friends, so I would love spending my free time looking after your dog or cat! I am currently working but can dogsit/catsit over weekends and can do drop ins that fit around my work schedule if this is suitable for any pet owners. I can currently look after pets in the owners home and can follow any instructions and routine that suits the pets needs. Having pets of my own, I understand the importance of this.

Hove cat owners share their Rover experiences
Laura provided kind, patient, and exceptionally good care for our shy cat Betty. We were given daily updates and photos, which really put our mind at ease while we were away from home. Betty also takes medication, which Laura administered daily. We will definitely be booking Laura again for future visits!
We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic service we received Ariana! Communication was absolutely excellent from start to finish, providing us with regular updates and plenty of photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter!
Lorna did a great job looking after our 3 cats while we were away overnight. She made the effort to come round and visit beforehand and asked all the right questions that reassured she is very much a cat person! While we were away, she sent us updates with each visit, and clearly spent time interacting with the cats who seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home. Would highly recommend!
I would recomend Jeanique and will book her again! She was communicative and my cat seemed to be at ease with her from the start. She had to deal with a couple of mishaps with my cat being sick on the carpet and peeing outside the box (!!!) and was very graceful about it. I am very thankful 🙏
Came home to three very content and well-groomed cats! Olivia was an incredibly thoughtful and conscientious sitter who took really good care of ours boys for two weeks while we were away. Her updates were always friendly and detailed and you could see from the photos that everyone really enjoyed her company, which with three fussy Maine Coons is no mean feat! All communication with Olivia before, during and after her visits was really easy and we'll definitely be booking her again.
It was the first time we used Amanda for our two cats Poppy and Daisy. She came for a visit prior to us heading off on holiday and gave the cats some treats and a good stroke. She was reassuring and clearly had a lot of experience with cats. Whilst we were away we were very reassured seeing her check ins and the photos she shared of the cats looking very relaxed and happy with her.
I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. I was able to completely relax on holiday knowing my cats were in Tamara's care. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and her communication was excellent throughout. Tamara genuinely loves animals. She spent quality time with my cats, played with them, and paid attention to every detail of their care. I trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She's truly a dream cat sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Sofiya is a star! Super great communication, always on time and super reliable, friendly, trustworthy and follows instructions/kitten routine I shared with no problem with my 11 week old kitten. I will happily hire Sofiya again :) thank you for all your help!
