“Amy was fantastic with Beanz! She communicated clearly throughout, and made the whole process stress-free. She spent time playing with Beanz, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for. She also kept his food and water bowls clean, and I came back to a tidy kitchen. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future, highly recommended!”
“Ariah had a lovely day of checkins with Katie while my husband and I were out! Felt very safe leaving her in Katie's care, and we got lots of pictures to see how much fun she was having. 😊 Very quick and clear communication, will definitely be booking again!”
“Clarissa provided excellent care for our cat Milo over Christmas, and went the extra mile to ensure he got plenty of human contact while we were away during a very busy period. Responsive and reliable, we'd have no hesitation booking again.”
“Georgie was absolutely fantastic. Seeker is very timid and takes a long time to trust new people, while Rowan is reactive and can be quite particular, but they both relaxed with Georgie almost immediately. Seeker was soon curled up beside her, and Rowan proudly brought out all of her favourite toys to show her, which says everything. Georgie was incredibly reliable, kept us updated with lovely messages and photos throughout, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: Hi! My name is Josh and I have recently returned from travelling, and after being recommended Rover by a friend, I thought it would be an amazing opportunity while I search for a job. Therefore, as it stands I can be totally flexible. Even when I do eventually enter employment, I wish to continue with Rover as I would love to move into animal care more permanently. I have grown up with dogs since I was a child and even in my adult life, despite not owning a dog myself, I have experience dog/house sitting and dog walking for friends and families. As an active person myself I strive to give your fluffy companion the best day possible, being conscious, flexible and adaptable to each individuals needs, since I understand not one dog is the same! I have a real deep love for animals and animal welfare and do anything and everything I can to care and look after any animal I meet. Your pets safety and happiness are paramount and I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone! I have my own transport so there really is no place too far for me. You're welcome to reach out anytime if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them as soon as possible. I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! I'm currently unemployed so my week is 100% flexible. I'm taking some time out of work to enjoy some well needed time to myself, getting outdoors and enjoying the last of summer. It would be great to put my spare time to use to help you with your pet care duties whilst they keep me company too! I currently reside in my cosy campervan which is large enough to be able to move around but I spend a lot of time outdoors so your fur baby will get enough fresh air and exercise as it needs. I have had many dogs stay in the van and they absolutely love it. It is also equipped with a shower so I am able to give them a rinse if need be. I am often staying at my mum's house which can be an option if you're uncomfortable with my living arrangement. She has a garden and enough space for a cage if required. I am a kind, gentle and considerate person that will respect your needs and wishes equally to your pets. I am happy to be flexible and adaptable to whatever you ask of me in regards to your pets care.

About: I’m a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter with many years of hands-on experience looking after my own dogs and cats, as well as a wide range of other animals. I truly understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you are not around. Alongside my personal experience, I’m a five-star reviewed sitter on TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for dogs, cats and other animals. I’m confident with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. I live in a lovely, secure, and calm home in the heart of Lewes, ideal for pets who enjoy a relaxed and safe environment. There are no other pets in the home—just me and my partner, Reggie—so your pet will get plenty of individual attention. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and owners. I’m very happy to supply references and reviews on request, and I’m always glad to chat about how I can best support you and your pet. I have plenty of time, seven days a week and can been entirely flexible, hours to suit you. I love walking and would be happy to come to your home or look after your pet in mine. 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.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love the companionship and to me nothing beats the connection you have with a dog. I have experience training a variety of breeds and ages, from puppies right the way through to rescue dogs that are more senior. I have experience in senior care, administering medication and managing arthritis. For me, each dog is unique and different and I want to learn and be there for your pet when you can’t be. I can assure you they will be absolutely adored and well looked after with me. Their happiness and wellbeing is my number one priority. I’m currently working part time and so have the flexibility and time to play and care for your pets! I’m currently available every Monday all day, Tuesday morning, Wednesday, Thursday Friday before 9am and from 4pm, Saturday all day, and Sundays from 2pm. Some weeks I am available more, and if given enough notice I can move things around to squeeze in some extra play with your pup! I respect your home and treat it how I would want someone to treat my home. I will leave everything as I found it, and ensure I lock up when I leave, making sure your dog is happy and settled before I do so.
About: My brother has a beautiful chow that I watch regularly. I’m very active and would love to have a companion (whether just a walk or a sleepover). I appreciate that each dog will have their own unique personalities and needs, and I’m happy to work around that. I walk each morning and evening, so I’m really interested in walking/boarding dogs. Please get in touch if you need support! My house has a fenced garden, nearby parks (< 2min), and room for them to relax. I don’t own a pet currently but watch dogs regularly x I mainly work from home so looking after pups fits in well with my weekly routine. With enough notice I can work from home which allows me to care for dogs during the working week. I’m vigilant, caring and enjoy spending time with dogs. I am happy to meet up before the booking, particularly if a dog is staying with me, so they can familiarise themselves with the space.
“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a spotless house. We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend her! Thank you for all your help Caitlin 🥰✨”
“Enya looked after my puppy for a couple of hours and the puppy had a lovely time playing, snoozing, playing and snoozing! I felt very assured Lumi was in a safe pair of hands. Will definitely be booking Enya again, thank you so much!”
About: I have owned 4 dogs in my life & have just got a new puppy! I used to own & run a successful dog walking business called Kay's K9 Dog Walking in London for 6 years until I went back to the corporate world. I'm now living in Brighton & would love to get back to walking & sitting dogs as I miss it. I am currently available full time for dog boarding, house sitting and dog walking. I live on a large boat in Brighton Marina with my puppy, so please don't book me if you are not happy with your dog being onboard! Your dog will get lots of walks & I have an outside decking area with a grass area to go the the loo. I am home all week & have plenty of time to exercise your dog. I live in the Marina so there are lots of lovely routes to take. I live on a boat in the Marina. There is enough space & can accommodate a small/medium dog. I have an outside deck too. I would take care of your dog as if they were my own.
About: An animal lover that has had all sorts of pets in my family from a young age, an experienced cat sitter, dog walker and newly qualified trainer, I have experience with rescue dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, senior hounds and everything in between! I run my own business so am flexible with time and travel, I enjoy meeting new pet friends so can give them the time and attention they need rather than just the bare minimum. Happy to drop in on cats and dogs to give food and water tops ups, toilet breaks, walks, runs, and most importantly fuss and attention!
“Fiona is lovely. She looked after our 3 cats visiting twice a day for a couple of days taking the time to listen to their needs and our preferences. They were clean, played with and well fed. I would definitely recommend and will be making a future request.”
About: I have looked after dogs my entire life I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember I have experience with lots of different dogs breeds and puppies. I’m currently a student I’m hoping this will become my main source of income. I’m only in three days a week for very short periods of time so I will always be available to look after your babies Dogs tend to be a bit more comfortable in their own home environment so I think looking after our pet where they’re already familiar with the space is a huge pro and it will help the dog be happier!
About: I’ve had lots of animals throughout my life including dogs, cats, chickens, horses and more. I currently have 2 cats (17 and 15) and a dog (6). I look after my friends dogs regularly as well. I just love being around animals. I’m a paramedic student so would be happy to be getting on with course work whilst looking after a cuddly pal! :) I’m currently at university studying paramedic science. Pet care would fit in really well around my studies! I’m also a part time carer for my elderly Nan along side other family members who take care of her so I’m super flexible on times I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so would only be looking to look after animals at the owners house due to my pets being very old and nervous

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Lewes pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.

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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
