“Jade has been a great help during a busy period looking after our dog Sweep. We found her to be punctual, friendly and reliable. Sweep felt at ease with Jade from the off so it has been wonderful piece of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jade, and we hope to continue working with her moving forward.”

About: I have lots of experience in taking care of dogs & cats. I worked at a dog & cat specialist hospital as a nursing assistant caring for many dogs & cats and have spent my whole childhood on a small holding. I have also learnt a lot from my father who was a dog trainer. I currently live in Hove by the beach and am willing to take walks within a 1-2 mile radius and house sitting across brighton and hove. I work from home for myself so can be very flexible with timings. i can walk/sit week days and weekends due to my freelancing job. Pretty flexible so drop me a message and we can go from there! Very experienced with pets and reading body language and lead training. Can handle any sized dogs, especially big dogs as ive grown up with GSDS and leonbergers.
“Nadia was brilliant with my nervous rescue dog, Winter. She took the time to understand his quirks and followed all the guidance I gave. Communication was great throughout, and she arrived right on time. I’d definitely recommend Nadia and will be booking her again in the future. ✨”

“Huge thanks to Kei for taking such amazing care of my Staffy, Lily, today! He were so sweet and thoughtful - sent the cutest updates, kept Lily happy and relaxed, and treated her like his own. I felt totally at ease the whole day, and came home to a very happy pup. Can’t wait to have Kei back again!”

“Jordan has taken great care of Sophie and left the house spotless every time! We got lots of communication and updates which is crucial when we’re away just for ease of mind - would definitely recommend him!”

“It’s the 2nd time using Kiki to look after our Sprocker pup and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Her. Coco is excited every time she sees Kiki and it’s clear that they’ve built a bond.”

“Balbina was fantastic! I’m so impressed that she got Pina to go out for a walk on her first sit. That’s pretty unheard of! I received regular and lovely photos and videos of Pina and Luna being very fussed and looking really happy and comfortable. Couldn’t be happier with Balbina’s care. Will definitely book again”

“Over the Christmas period our usual house sitting options were unavailable so we used Rover for the first time and were soon put in touch with Abe. Luckily he had availability and we had a meet up beforehand to allow him to meet Lily. Abe is a super friendly guy and you can tell he has a lot of experience around dogs. As he lives nearby he was flexible on start and end timings and he knew all the local walks. Over the time we were away we were kept up to date with activities at home and we got regular photos. When we got back Lily was super calm and relaxed - the sign of a good week! We wouldn’t hesitate to have Abe over again or recommend to others”

“Emily is fantastic! Mossie had the best time with her, it was so lovely to have him taken care of by someone who truly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her, and hugely appreciate the great care she took of Mossie.”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I offer safe, reliable sitting in a calm home environment. From long walks to belly rubs and medication if needed, your dog will be treated like family while you're away. I work from home during the week, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I provide calm, reliable care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, or just a cozy presence. I have a small, secure back garden for safe outdoor time, plus comfy dog beds, toys, and a calm environment where your dog is welcome anywhere in my home.
About: I grew up with pets and am both a dog and a cat person! Over the last few years, I have dog-sat for friends and family, either in their homes or doggy daycare in my home and have experience walking both small and medium dogs. At the moment, I'm the proud owner (slave!) of a senior cat who is very relaxed about other animals in the house. I work flexibly so can be available for walks, doggy daycare & house sitting at any time. I generally head to the seafront and beach, or a park, for dog walks. I can accept animals in my home and have an enclosed garden with no access to main roads. I can walk twice a day so dogs will get good exercise if they want it. I am flexible depending on what your pet needs.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ava provided for our senior boxer, Picasso! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit. Ava took such great care of Picasso in our home, ensuring he felt loved, safe, and comfortable. When we returned, Picasso was happy and content, which is all we could ask for. It was clear that she gave him plenty of attention and made him feel right at home. Ava also brought up a concern about Picasso not eating, and we really appreciated her attentiveness. We reassured her that he’s very sensitive to changes in routine and environment, so it’s not unusual for him to be a bit picky. Her thoughtful communication made us feel at ease while we were away. Not only did Ava provide exceptional care for Picasso, but she also left our house spotless! We truly appreciate how she went above and beyond. We would highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Laura was friendly, calm, flexible and understanding of my rescue’s ‘quirks’! Communication was great and I appreciated her patience as I figured out how the app/booking all worked!”

“Inna did a fantastic job. Our dog is a bit of a grumpy old man but Inna managed to charm him enough to get him on her side. She sent updates to us every day with photos of him and let us know how he was getting on. We were very happy with the experience.”

“Maeve is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we have ever had—and Darcie wholeheartedly agrees! She is a shining example of what a dedicated, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter should be. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Maeve has been consistently punctual, reliable, and respectful in all her interactions. She is not only polite and professional but also incredibly kind and friendly to all of us, including Darcie. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for our dog, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she gives her during every visit. Her flexibility and understanding have made arranging services with her a breeze, and her communication is always warm and accommodating. Maeve has gone above and beyond in making sure Darcie is happy and cared for—and we couldn’t ask for more. We wholeheartedly recommend Maeve to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. She truly deserves the highest recognition for the amazing care she provides. Thank you for everything, Maeve!”

Hove pet owners share their Rover experiences
Charlotte is amazing — she’s sat for us multiple times and we completely trust her. She’s totally at ease in a remote rural setting, which makes a huge difference, and both dogs absolutely love her (and they’re not easy to win over). One of our dogs is reactive, but Charlotte handles walks calmly and confidently. Our other dog is quite timid, yet feels completely safe and relaxed around her. She’s incredibly kind and just has a way about her that makes her feel like someone you’ve known for years. We always come home to a spotless house and very happy, settled dogs. Couldn’t recommend her more

Kei was a fantastic sitter for our three dogs. He came over a day early to go through their routine and sent us updates and pics throughout the sit. They all loved spending time with him and it was obvious he adored them in return. I would definitely use him again and recommend him wholeheartedly!

Emma looked after my little cheeky terrier for five nights and did a fantastic job. She sent regular updates and photos of Rex, which really put my mind at ease. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean, tidy house. I would definitely recommend Emma and will happily use her again in the future—if she’ll have us! ☺️

A really lovely dog sitter. Pinkie had a great time on the beach with Charlotte, and cuddles on the sofa. In fact Pinkie liked Charlotte so much, she tried to leave with her at the end of the day. Great comms, lovely updates, and all at short notice. Thank you again!

Reliable, punctual and friendly. I trusted Maeve the moment I met her and I love how clearly she communicates and keeps in touch. On Rizzo’s first sitting after meeting Maeve she ran to her crate and got her frog toy and gave it to her as a gift. I knew straight away Rizzo was happy and left the house feeling confident and she was in by far very capable trust worthy hands. The contact throughout the sitting was perfect and I’ll be booking with Maeve again

I booked Laura at the last minute as my usual dog sitter had fallen through. She was very responsive and helpful and did a great job looking after my dog and my home. She also fed our fish and hamster! ❤️ I was not there to meet her but I know my dog was happy with her as she sent me a picture of them snuggling and my dog doesn’t do that for everyone! I would definitely book Laura again. ⭐️
