“Our dog absolutely loves staying with Michaela and Simon, she drags me towards the front door every time she stays over and doesn’t even glance back! Such a lovely family who really care for the dogs their look after as though they’re their own. So reassuring to have a dog sitter you can trust.”
“Alex looked after my boys really well. I received lots of photos and videos of them having fun in the park and looking happy with Alex in his garden. Would happily recommend.”
“Molly was brilliant with Beau! Excellent communication before and during and she was really flexible as well. Clearly a big dog lover and she’s super close to the park which is perfect for doggies :) thank you again and we’ll be in touch next time we’re in town!”
“I can’t recommend Valentina highly enough. She kindly accommodated a very last-minute request after another boarder cancelled, which already meant a lot. From the start, it was clear that she has a huge understanding of dogs and is incredibly caring and patient. My dog Kiki can be quite anxious, but Valentina was so accommodating and attentive to her needs. She kept me updated with plenty of messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Most importantly, Kiki was completely at ease during her stay and came back home relaxed and happy. Thank you, Valentina, for taking such wonderful care of Kiki — I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Sophie and Yando are always great with Loki! Loki always looks forward to staying with them. They are both very kind, patient and caring towards Loki. Yando spent some time getting to know Loki and worked with us and with Loki to ensure his stay with them would be enjoyed. Loki has a soft spot for Yando. We can't praise them enough! We would definitely recommend Sophie and Yando to take care of your loving fur ball.”
“Enzo loved spending time with Juna and her daughter. He immediately took to the flat and Juna, and he was clearly very sad to leave, as he kept pulling hard to go back to the flat. I felt terrible dragging him away. Juna was very also flexible in taking Enzo in very early in the morning.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 13. I've always been around dogs, and I also have a lovely dog called Napo so I will treat your dog with as much care and love as possible. I'm currently working full-time from home, I have time available on the weekend. I can have breaks as much as I want, also have lunch hour. I would prefer to stay at your place so the dog might feel comfortable while you are away. Of course they can stay at my place and I have a garden. Please beard in mind that I have a dog, and he is well-behaved.
“Wonderful dog sitter. Monica took great care of Obi, and he came back a very happy boy. Great communication and we felt completely at ease. She also is very confident with our big dog which was reassuring for us.”
“We left our dog with Arnav for five days and she had a wonderful time all through. All the walks and meals were taken care of well and we recieved regular updates and pictures every day. It was a very homely vibe. Very satisfied with the service and highly reccommend.”
“We are so grateful to Courtney and Dan for taking such wonderful care of Stella. She has some special requirements and we felt that she was in great hands. They kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind throughout. It’s clear they love dogs and went above and beyond to ensure Stella was comfortable and happy. Thanks guys!”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have lots of experience looking after them! Friends and family often ask me to look after their dogs, and I’ve cared for a range of breeds including Poodles, Cavapoos, Maltese, Whippets and Labradors. I work flexibly from home, and my central Brighton office is dog-friendly too. I have my own private office, so your dog can either stay with me at home or come along to the office with me. I’m happy to work around their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I’d love to meet you and your dog and get to know them before a sit, so please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet. I’d be very happy to chat! 🐶 I work flexibly and can either work from home or from a dog-friendly office in central Brighton. I have a private office space that’s usually just shared with one other colleague, making it a calm and comfortable environment for dogs during the day. I have a spacious three-storey home on the Brighton/Hove border, with the beach and Hove Lawns right on our doorstep — perfect for walks!
About: I have always had dogs as pets since I was a child and as an adult I have looked after dogs and cats for friends, family and paid bookings. I am available for any dog or cat sitting that is needed as my day to day life is very flexible. I can do long dog stays at my home or yours, or I can check on them a few times a day for you or take them on a little walk if you have time constraints. I am quite active and would take them on 2-3 walks a day during the week and can take them somewhere nice for a longer walk on the weekends. I have looked after small to large dogs and haven’t had any issues with bigger dogs. I work from home and from a dog friendly co-working space so am very flexible. If the dog would not be comfortable in the co-working space I can work from home whilst I am looking after the dog. I like to walk down Brighton & Hove seafront, Hove park and explore surrounding areas regularly so I am happy to bring a dog along with me. I am happy for the dog to sleep on my bed but if they prefer their own bed that is also fine. I live in a spacious first floor flat with a balcony. I would take them outside first thing in the morning or last thing at night if they needed to go out and I would take them for walks 2/3 times a day aswell. I’m happy to work around their food and general need times and my day to day life is very flexible. I have a super flexible day to day life as I work remotely. I do work regularly from a co working space around the corner from where I live which is dog friendly but I can work from home if you prefer your dog to not go there. I get up fairly early and am very active, so I may as well have a dog join me. I would walk them 2-3 times a day in the park, down the seafront or even around the block during the week and would take them somewhere nice further out or stay local but go for a longer walk during the weekends. I live in a spacious first floor flat in Hove. I have a balcony attached to my bedroom and am happy to take them outside on the safe street first thing/last thing if needed.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years experience caring for small dogs. For the past decade, I’ve helped care for my family pets - a Shih Tzu x Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu x Maltese. Being part of their daily lives has given me experience with feeding, walking, grooming and playtime. And most importantly, providing them with plenty of love, patience and attention. I also have experience looking after my sibling’s Dachshund, so I’m comfortably caring for different small breeds and understanding their individual personalities and needs. Having recently moved to Brighton, I’m really missing the companionship of these wonderful furry friends. Looking after dogs is something I genuinely love to do and brings me so much joy I am currently unemployed, my days are open for doggy care and boarding during the week until I secure my next role. I can offer my services every week from Monday-Friday. As I have just moved to Brighton and don’t currently have pets of my own here, I am very comfortable caring for these animals in their own home - house calls and night stays are things I’m very open to
“Peggy had a brilliant day with Connie and Ryan. She went off happily, I received pictures and updates all day and I collected a content dog. Peggy can be a little nervous and felt very relaxed and comfortable with Connie and Ryan. Will be using again. Thank you so much :)”
“We got in touch with Jo when our dog care fell through last minute. She was super responsive and happy to look after our two dogs, Bobbie, and our old girl Mabel. Our dogs had a lovely stay and seemed to love being with Jo’s own three doggies. Jo was really quick to respond, sent lots of proactive updates to us with pics and is generally lovely. She even accommodated an extra night after our travel plans changed. Huge thank you to Jo ❤️”
“Petra and Olly are absolutely amazing. I always get nervous about leaving Lyla with new people, but they put me at ease straight away. They’re incredibly caring and kept me fully informed with great updates throughout. Lyla was so happy after her stay, which says everything. They took her out for lots of walks and were genuinely thoughtful and considerate the whole time. I couldn’t recommend them enough and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much, guys.”
“Roland was recommended to me as someone with experience with mini schnauzers, and he was available for a last-minute stay. We had a meet-and-greet beforehand where Mungo and I met his gorgeous greyhound Laurie. Roland is friendly, calm and clearly adores dogs. He communicated regularly throughout Mungo’s stay and sent me plenty of pics. I was super happy with him and will definitely use him again. Thanks!”

Chloë accepted Fynn as a v. last minute booking which I was extremely grateful for. During the stay, her care and knowledge helped give Fynn a loving and fantastic experience. Communication was excellent - with pupdates throughout and specific questions to ensure that Fynn received the best guidance when needed. We only hope she'll accept us again in the future. 5 stars!
I had a really great experience with Sara and Frans. They were both very friendly and caring, and the communication was excellent throughout. They kept me updated on Moon, which gave me great peace of mind, and I could tell she was very well looked after and happy in their care. I would 100% recommend them and would happily trust them with Moon again! 🐾❤️
Michaela and Simon once again did a wonderful job of looking after Bertie. They kept us up to date with his wellbeing and what he was up to and sent us plenty of photos so we could focus on enjoying our holiday rather than worrying about him. Bertie loves visiting Simon and Michaela, and especially loves playtime with their dog Scout. I’d thoroughly recommend these sitters. 😊
Mila and Andrii really went the extra mile for us. Bertie came home chilled out and happy once more. His GPS tracker was broken and they tried to fix it and when that didn’t work they enquired with the manufacturer and I now have a free replacement on the way. They kept up communication and photos so we knew Bertie was safe and happy and we could focus on our holiday. I’d thoroughly recommend Andrii and Mila and hope Bertie will return to them next time we need a sitter. 😊
Huda was a great host to our dog who was a bit nervous as this was his first time being left with someone else since we adopted him. Huda was in constant communication with us and provided us pictures of our dog through out his stay which was really lovely and it kept us at ease seeing him looking happy and content. If you want a loving and caring sitter I would highly recommend Huda. So much so that I think we have found our sitter for our dog if we do go away again. 10 out of 10 would recommend! ☺️
Emily was great with Duke, I think he missed her when he got home. Her flat is a lovely space for an animal to be comfy and safe while you're away. Duke settled in after about 3 minutes and seemed to be very happy during his stay. Would definitely use Emily again for pet sitting.
Sassy just had a really good stay at Lena's. Lena provided a calm environment for Sassy to settle in to. Being of a some what nervous disposition Sassy likes to take a new stay at her own pace and Lens allowed just that. We had regular updates during the weekend and we collected a calm happy dog at the end of it. Big thank you for looking after our fur face.
Toni helped us with a last minute boarding request for our rescue dog. She was great at communicating beforehand and during the stay and took really good care of our dog! She was also kind enough to drive out to Woodingdean from town to meet our dog beforehand to make sure he felt comfortable. We will definitely book with Toni again :)
Absolutely amazing! Juna and her daughter Marla are both such lovely, caring people. Their communication was wonderful, and the photos they sent were appreciated. Most importantly, Terri was treated like an absolute "prince" and clearly felt so loved and happy. I honestly couldn't have wished for a better experience for Terri.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Hove pet parents with similar pet households.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
