“Alice was a fantastic dog sitter. Ruby had grrat long walks and loads of cuddles and I recieved updates throughout the day. Thanks for taking her on short notice, would love you to sit for her again.”

About: I am currently working remotely and have a friendly gentle giant Bernese mountain dog myself and am.haooy to look after your dog along with Cynthia, we go it regularly to the park and have very fun walks and frequent toilet breaks and play. I currently work remotely and can board and look after dogs along with mh own from home in the Brighton and Hove area. I'm also free on weekends. I have a friendly Bernese mountain dog called Cynthia who loves other dogs and cats, we live right across the park and close to hove lawns and go for frequent fun walks and play.
“Alix looked after Syd, our Welsh Terrier. After a full debrief with Syd, we concluded that many excellent walks were had, treats were dispensed and balls repeatedly thrown. 5 paws out of 5. No notes.”
“Rachel was an absolute star! Very flexible when travel plans changed slightly, lots of messages and photos over the weekend as well. Frankie had a great time, settled in really quickly and even seemed a bit reluctant to come back with me. Will absolutely use Rachel again if I need someone in the area again.”
“Fabulous sitter for our medium sized rescue dog Scrumpy. He's got a few quirks but Isobel didn't seem fazed by them! She was also super flexible for us with the drop off and collection. Would definitely recommend 😊”
“Alex was such a great carer for our nervous Cockapoo, Hiccup. Alex shared lots of photos & videos of Hiccup’s stay. I can see he’s very patient & encouraging towards hiccup which makes me so happy to see. Was also lovely that there were other dogs as once Hiccup feels comfortable he loves playing with them. We’ve booked Alex again for an upcoming holiday we’re going on!”
About: Hi, I'm Alex - a 32-year-old freelance producer who primarily works from home. For as long as I remember I've loved dogs. It's a running joke in my family that no one loves them more than me. Having grown up with Irish Setters and horses, I've been around dogs my entire life and consider them to be the purest form of joy I've yet experienced! Aside from this, I frequently look after friends and neighbours dogs and love taking them to local beaches and parks for walks, as well as my local co-working space, if suitable. I am also experienced in house sitting dogs and cats and love taking dogs on long walks in the countryside to keep them stimulated and tired at the end of the day. Having recently moved to Hove and bought a three bedroom house with a garden (fenced and very safe), I am keen to share my space and provide a safe and happy place for dog owners to send their dogs to when they need them looking after. I'm open to short or long stays and even day sittings in my house as well. Please do get in touch with any questions. Happy to provide photos of my home and garden, and of course for any dog to come round and meet me before staying so they get used to the smells and environment. I'm currently in a low period of freelance work and have much more spare time in the day for the next few months. I work remotely most of the time and occasionally work in a dog friendly co-work space called Platf9rm. I am able to work from home in my own house with a dog, but also take it for walks much more during the day. I like to be active and outdoors as much as I can and any dog I care for is also able to have free rein of my garden, which is walled and secure. I have a walled garden which is super safe and secure and it's a big enough space for any dog to run around, chill, or have a snooze in the sun. I have a desk in the living room space which opens up into the kitchen, so when working from home would always be around the dog. I love nothing more than watching TV and curling up with a dog. I'd be happy for the dog to join me on the sofa with a blanket.
About: I grew up in the countryside with a huge menagerie, including ponies, horses, donkeys, peafowl, ducks, hens and loads of dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. I have been dog and cat sitting the last ten years since my own Cocker Spaniel died - I have a borrow my doggy dog a day a week, for the last two and a half years who is dear to my heart, and have enjoyed over 14 sits with dogs and cats through Trusted House Sitters this last year. I have 5 star reviews every time. Being with animals genuinely makes me so happy! Every dog I look after I fall in love with. Cats too... I love walking and discovering new places so why not give me a try, I promise to give your pets all the love and the attention they deserve. I am flexible with hours as work part time, free some weekends and for sleepovers. I am happy to travel short distances to your home. I have a garden for dogs to use and am close to the seafront for lots of walks, countryside too. I always follow owners rules about walking their dogs, am mindful of how other dogs might interact with the dogs I am looking after, and careful with roads and fast moving water. I check pets for ticks and always carry a tick remover. I interact with your pets to keep them stimulated if need be, and give tons of love! I am experienced with administering medication to animals and always make sure it has been taken! If am driving your dogs around I make sure they are secure in my camper van and use a harness to make sure they are safe.
“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!”
“Thank you for looking after Busy! Laura shared frequent updates with pictures and it always looked like Busy was being very well looked after. She raised any concerns promptly to ensure Busy got the best care possible. Would definitely rebook.”
“Nunzia is amazing! She took care of our dog Luna while we were away on holiday. After we initially made the booking Luna had to have some unexpected extra dental surgery done and Nunzia took great care of her during her recovery including taking her back for post op checks. She was the best person who could possibly have looked after her. Luna will miss her a lot ❤️”
“Page was lovely she met me before hand to put me at ease My dogs can be a bit funny with people but they were fine with paige and loved there walk id definitely take them there again they were well looked after and we'll behaved which means they were happy 😊 Great communication to”
“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.”
“Paula was fantastic, Barkley had a wonderful time and came back completely pooped! She gave very regular updates and re-assured me as it was the first time I've used this service. It gave me great peace of mind to enjoy the weekend knowing he was being so well looked after. Would definitely book again!”
“I could have not be more grateful and feeling relaxed and calm thta Odin is in the best hands with Azar. She genuinely loves dogs and my little pooch had the best time - lots of walks and play and all his favourite things! Azar kept us updated with pictures and Odin's adventures which was so lovely. Thank you so much Azar, forever grateful.”
About: I've always been a huge animal lover and was lucky enough to have my own dog (English Bulldog) for six wonderful years. During that time, I gained hands-on experience caring for a dog with additional needs, including managing allergies, maintaining strict hygiene routines and working consistently on behavioural training using patience and positive reinforcement. Looking after my dog taught me how important it is to understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Although my dog is no longer with me, I really miss having a four-legged companion around the house. Becoming a pet sitter allows me to continue doing something I genuinely love while giving owners peace of mind that their dog will be treated as if they were my own. I live alone in a calm, clean and smoke-free home, meaning your dog will receive plenty of one-to-one attention, affection and care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply relaxing on the sofa, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved throughout their stay. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind, so I'll always keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you know they're happy and well looked after. I’m currently working 3 days a week from home and have some flexibility to go out when needed for toilet breaks. I can also have them over the weekend, I love going for walks so ideally some dogs with energy. Again I can be flexible. My home has no garden access. It’s 60 sq metres so enough space. I have no animals or kids. Beachfront is 15mn walk, park is 7 mn walk.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Hove is £35

Jake was absolutely wonderful with my kitten, Haru! Haru stayed with him for four days, and Jake kept me regularly updated, which gave me great peace of mind. He was so kind, caring, and gentle, and it was clear that Haru was very happy and comfortable staying with him. When I picked Haru up, he was relaxed and happy, which really showed how well he had been looked after. I really appreciated Jake’s kindness and the care he gave Haru. I would happily trust Jake with Haru again and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!
Beckie was absolutely wonderful! She looked after Lily for over two weeks and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We received lovely updates and the sweetest photos every day, which we really appreciated. Lily clearly had such a great time and seemed so happy and comfortable staying with Beckie. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
This was the first time we’ve left our dog and Alex couldn’t have been more reassuring, he always kept us updated with lots of videos, photos and text messages. We were instantly impressed by how great he was. Would highly recommend and huge thanks to Alex, it’s obvious how much he loves dogs and treated our one just as his own.
We had a warm welcome from Leanne and Abbie, who fell in love with Ted straight away. We were confident on leaving Ted that he would be well cared for . They have a lot of experience looking after dogs and have been dog owners themselves which really put our minds at ease. Wish we lived nearer to Leanne and Abbie as they would be our first choice for Ted care. Thank you both so much . Jenny 😊 Richard 🤓 and Ted 🐶 🙏🏻
Nunzia is amazing! She took care of our dog Luna while we were away on holiday. After we initially made the booking Luna had to have some unexpected extra dental surgery done and Nunzia took great care of her during her recovery including taking her back for post op checks. She was the best person who could possibly have looked after her. Luna will miss her a lot ❤️
Andrea was amazing with Josie, she clearly knows a lot about dogs and how to care for them, but she was also really interested in Josie’s routine and our preferences. She asked all the right questions and made sure she had all the information she needed to make Josie’s stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Josie clearly had a great time, and we’re very happy to bring her back to Andrea again!
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 ❤️
Highly recommend Harriet. She was able to help us out at the last minute and had Baxter for an overnight visit. Communication was great and we received regular updates and photos until Baxter was asleep. He seemed very happy the next morning to the point where he tried to lead me back to Harriet’s door when we left!
Bambi had the loveliest time with Luke! He was gentle and sensitive to her shy, anxious nature, and we could see that she was very comfortable with him quickly. He sent us loads of updates through the day (which we always LOVE!) and sent a full update at the end of the day sharing everything they did & how she's doing. This really helped set our minds at ease & we loved to see that she's enjoying herself! Will definitely work with Luke again! 🙌🐾❤️
Nicola was wonderful with Leia. She was incredibly kind and agreed to help me out at very short notice, even though she’d only just got back from holiday that day. She kept me updated during Leia’s stay, and it was obvious from the photos and when I collected her that Leia had been very happy and well looked after. I’d happily leave Leia with Nicola again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Andra was so wonderful with our huge, neurotic weimaraner (Goose) - she took excellent care of him and managed to get him to settle, no small feat! We travelled down to Brighton from Manchester and there were some delays along the way - Andra was so flexible and accommodating, and just took all of the stress out of the day. All throughout the stay Andra sent us photos and videos of what they were up to, including some amazing beach walks. We cannot thank you enough Andra!

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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
