About: Hi there !! I have just come back from traveling after two years and looking to fill my spare time with looking after your fur babies !! I love animals and have had a dog since I was 13. I also took personal care of my previous partners fur baby for 5 years so I have plenty experience of caring for a doggy. My own family dog has since passed while I was a way and we would deeply love to have company in our home again. Your dog will be given all the cuddles and belly rubs while in my care! I am currently not working as I’ve just came back from traveling, so my availability is wide open. This may change in the future and I might have to reduce care to only weekends I am happy to learn your routine and stick to it while away. I love getting out and going for a walk so you won’t have to worry about your doggy getting exercise. My own dog was very crazy so I am happy to throw a ball… continuously haha or find things stimulating for them to do.

“Our dog is not only large but strong, weighing 60kg. He requires a person who understands the breed and their behaviours. Georgie demonstrated this. She is patient, meticulous, considerate and completely calm with him. She followed all our instructions, sent us regular updates and photos, and made us feel confident leaving our boy with her. Our Presa took to her immediately which says a lot. We would 100% book Georgie again and highly recommend her to anyone with a large or powerful breed.”


“Alabama was absolutely wonderful looking after my dogs, Betty and Nancy. They were both so happy and clearly had a lovely time with her. She played with them, kept me updated with photos, and left the house beautifully clean and tidy. What meant the most to me was seeing how much my rescue dog, Nancy, liked Alabama. Nancy is very shy and quite timid, so seeing her feel comfortable and happy with someone new was really lovely and reassuring. I felt completely at ease knowing Betty and Nancy were in such caring hands. I would 100% recommend Alabama and would be very happy to have her look after them again. Thank you so much, Alabama! 🐾❤️ Sarah”


About: I’m Vic, an experienced pet sitter from Brighton with over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities and needs. I’ve completed pet sits through TrustedHousesitters and KiwiSitters, and all my reviews have been five stars. Over the last three years, I’ve cared for pets across Australia and New Zealand, as well as in Indonesia, looking after dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, lizards, fish, goats and even a cow. Since returning to the UK, I’ve also continued looking after friends’ dogs and cats. I’m confident caring for young, energetic pets as well as senior animals who need a slower pace, medication or additional support. I spent a month caring for a 10-month-old Spaniel-Collie cross, keeping up with her training, exercise and daily routine. My experience also includes looking after puppies and kittens, elderly dogs, anxious rescue dogs, pets with epilepsy or FIV, and animals requiring daily medication and wound care. I also care for my own cat, Schwenly, who has varying needs. This has given me a deeper understanding of adapting care to suit an individual pet’s personality, health and routine. I’m currently learning about the Trust Technique, a mindfulness-based approach to working with animals, and intend to complete my diploma within the next two years. This is helping me develop an even deeper understanding of animal behaviour and support pets calmly, patiently and respectfully—particularly those who are nervous, anxious or unsettled. I have a naturally calm demeanour and take the time to build trust at each pet’s pace. I’m reliable, conscientious, clean and tidy, and understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and well cared for in their own home. I’m also happy to care for houseplants and gardens, and work remotely, allowing me to provide plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I work remotely, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I follow each pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, toilet breaks, medication, playtime and rest, while providing companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt my routine to suit individual needs, whether that means energetic exercise, gentle senior care or quiet time for nervous pets. I create a calm, safe and reassuring environment for every pet. In an owner’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, maintain familiar routines and make sure doors, gates and windows are secure. I introduce myself at each pet’s pace, use positive, reward-based interactions and never force contact. I’m also attentive to signs of stress, illness or changes in behaviour and will keep owners updated. Unfortunately I can't offer care for pets in my own home due to my own cats.
“Rachel was great! It was a last minute booking and Rachel still made time for a meet & greet a few days before. Communication was timely and Rachel was on time, in fact she offered to arrive a few minutes before so we could get going to work. Rachel got on with Skye straight away, respected our instructions and house. We had a reassuring update halfway through the day too. I would have no issues welcoming Rachel back and hope to see her again soon.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs at home and have always loved being around animals. I have a large home, so there is plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m also the person my friends and family trust to look after their dogs and cats whenever they need someone. I genuinely love animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, cuddles, playtime and care. I’m responsible, caring and always make sure pets feel happy, safe and at home. I’m not currently working full-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for pets. I occasionally work a few afternoons, but most of my time is flexible and I can give pets lots of attention and care. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home. In my home, they’ll have plenty of space and a safe, comfortable environment. At the owner’s home, I’ll follow their usual routine and instructions so their pet feels comfortable and settled.

I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and owners.

I care for pets as if they were my own, always following their usual routines so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I take time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any medications or special instructions. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment in the centre of Lewes. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully secured, walled garden, perfect for safe outdoor time. We’re also close to the nature reserve and the Downs, offering plenty of opportunities for lovely, varied walks. There are no other pets—just me and my partner, Reggie—so your pet will have lots of individual attention. Walks, playtime, rest, and meals are always tailored to your pet, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. In a pet owner’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and careful to maintain both your home and your pet’s normal routine. I focus on consistency, companionship, exercise, and affection to help pets feel settled and secure while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritise safety, comfort, and clear communication—so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands.
“Kathryn was brilliant 🤩 she was clearly at ease with our puppy and Murphy was very happy to be left in her care 🐶😍 loads of photo updates throughout the evening so we felt reassured and could enjoy our evening out….the first time we had left her since she joined us, we wouldn’t hesitate to rebook Kathryn in the future 😊”


About: My friends and family have had dogs since I was very young and I’m used to taking care of them and going on walks. I’m currently working from home so am available during the day and after work. I’m also available during weekends if needed in my area. I’m currently living in a flat so I would be going for regular walks if staying at my places, otherwise can bring my laptop and do the same over at your place.

“Caitlin was absolutely brilliant! Our dog Banzai is newly adopted and still very nervous, but from the moment Caitlin stepped through the door she put her at ease. We almost couldn't believe it when we received pics of Banzai playing, cuddling and having belly rubs - she never normally relaxes that quickly, so Caitlin obviously understood what she needed and built trust quickly. Caitlin was lovely in communication throughout, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other animal owners! Thanks Caitlin, hope you can hang out with Banzai again soon :)”

Ariah had such a lovely weekend with Marianne while my husband and I attended a wedding that she didn't want her to leave afterwards! Our flat was beautifully clean and tidy when we returned too. We have a longer sit booked in a month too and I am 100% confident leaving Ariah and our home in Marianne's capable hands!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Lewes walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Lewes 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!
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.
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.
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.
