“Catherine is now a regular for looking after Louis. She’s very professional and is very reliable. She turns up on time and takes great care of Louis. She also provides regular updates throughout the day.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. We’ve had Cavalier King Charles, Springer, Cocker snd Sprockers plus a Rottweiler. I’m young and energetic and happy to take your pet out on a long (or short) walk when you can’t be there. And even stay the night if you’re away. I currently have 2 Sprockers and 2 kittens so I am well experienced with both dogs and cats. I currently work full time but my job is pretty flexible. I can leave during my lunch breaks if need be and can also leave work early to accommodate your pets if need be. I would be best suited to caring for your pets at your own home or taking them out for walks as I recently moved in to a flat with my kittens. I am open to anything so please feel free to message me.
About: I grew up with dogs all my life, as did my partner Dan. We dream of having our own dogs when we get our first house together. Our current flat is not doggy appropriate. I grew up in a house with two dogs, cats, cockatiels, rabbits and everything in between. Dan also has had dogs (boxers in particular) all his life too. We're also a dab hand at watering plants, taking in deliveries and caring for your house while you're away! I'm a teacher, so if you're booking when I'm on holiday there are no problems. Daniel works locally in Haywards Heath, so it is sometimes possible for him to come home at lunches for potty breaks. We are best with weekends, half terms and breaks! We are adaptable to your lives and how the dogs live. We want them to be comfortable so would learn your routines, favourite walk route and tips for entertainment and try and mimic as best as possible. We just sadly cannot look after pets in our own flat at the moment!
“Sophie was fantastic at looking after Mollie. Mollie can be quite shy but was super happy having cuddles and pets with Sophie. She did a great job keeping me updated throughout and I would 100% recommend Sophie for all your cat sitting needs! Thank you Sophie! ❤️”
About: I have 3 German Shepherds at home so I am experienced with big dogs that need to know who is boss. I am part of a animal loving family and the dogs are spoilt but well trained. I have raised 2 litters of puppies from our oldest male and female, our 3rd dog is their daughter. I've have also had cats, rabbits and guinea pigs in the past. I have experience with older cats and dogs as well as puppies. I also ride horses and just love all animals I currently work 4 days a week, as a senior nurse in the NHS with the option to work remotely for 1 of those days. My husband is self employed and is often home for periods in the day as is my 18 year old daughter. who alslove animals , but the care would remain with me and I would provide a home from home for your pet. Our dogs are walked in the evening but I can walk your dog in the morning or at lunch time or can fit in 2 walks a day if needed. I would want to try and keep your dog to their usual routine as much as possible I have a large fenced garden and plenty of indoor space. At home there are 3 friendly happy German Shepherds who love other dogs and are happy to share their home.
“Ellie is brilliant with Dewey, we get lots of updates and pictures while we’re away and we get a lot of comfort in the fact that Ellie is there with him and he’s getting lots of play time and cuddles too! Thank you Ellie x”
About: Hi! I am Tristan an experienced and caring pet sitter based in Burgess Hill. I am the sole carer for all the animals without any additional assistance so they get my focus. I treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I am comfortable administering medications if needed. With a secure home, a flexible schedule, and a genuine love for animals, I aim to give your pets the same care and attention they’d get with you. Let’s set up a meet & greet—I’d love to get to know your furry friend! I work from home full time. I have my own Cockerpoo (neutered female) who is great with other dogs. I love to take my dog on walks in the area and take regular daily walks. Garden is fully secured and fenced and I am based at home so your dog will always be well cared for and not left on own for extended periods.
“Laura was an absolute star! She arrived on time, was very quick with her replies and communication, and best of all was so patient, loving and attentive with my very exuberant, jumpy Vizsla. She followed all instructions and kept me up to date with how my dog was getting on. I'd thoroughly recommend booking Laura - she clearly loves all animals (we have two cats and a lizard too!) and will treat your little fur babies like her own. I will definitely be rebooking, thanks so much :)”
“Amazing cat sitter! Cannot reccomend Charlotte enough. My cat is very timid and Charlotte took the time to sit with her for a while so she wouldn't be so scared when she visited. She was looked after so well. I felt super assured with Charlotte looking after my cat. 10 out of 10 stars!”
“Jennifer arrived promptly and dealt gently with my timid JR terrier, sending me feedback during the sitting. My day out all the more enjoyable knowing Tiggy well looked after.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds for the majority of the my teenage years, into adulthood. This has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of temperaments and makes me easily adaptable to being around different dogs, with confidence. I have had many dogs too - a Dalmatian, border collie, Labrador, pug, husky, and English pointer, only adding to my love for any breed of dog, big or small 🐶❤️ I’m able to fit sits in on specified days, depending on my other work commitments. I keep my calendar up to date with my latest availability for sits. I have a fenced, decent sized garden, a separate conservatory used as a ‘dog room’ with a sofa and lots of sunshine for the cooler months where my own dogs love to bask in the sun and relax. I have 3 friendly dogs too.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! Our family has shared our home with animals for over 15 years — from dogs and cats to chickens, rabbits, and more. We currently have a sweet-natured cocker spaniel named Ivy and a curious little hamster named Bear. When we first moved to the UK two years ago, we spent several months house-sitting and had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and even a bird — it was such a rewarding experience that we’ve never forgotten. Since then, I’ve used Rover myself to find trusted sitters for our own pets when we travel, and now I’m excited to offer the same peace of mind to others. Pet care fits naturally into our everyday life. I run my own small business creating handmade candles and aura sprays, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. My husband also works from home three days a week, so there’s usually someone around to give pets attention, cuddles, and care. We already walk our own dog, Ivy, daily — and we’re incredibly lucky to back onto a forest and open fields, making walks feel more like mini-adventures. It’s a peaceful, pet-friendly environment, and we love spending time outdoors with the animals. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to us — it’s something we genuinely enjoy and value as part of our routine. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, playtime in the garden, or peaceful naps on the sofa, we make sure every pet feels right at home. We live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced garden that backs onto beautiful forest and open fields. It’s the perfect place for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy their daily walks with Ivy. Your pet will be treated like one of the family while in our care, with plenty of love, attention, and cuddles.
“Zoe replied to messages promptly, was clear in her communications and spent time getting to know Alfie and Poppy. I really appreciate the pictures of the doggos visit and updating status to let me know they have done their ablutions. The dogs were both very calm when I came home. Thank you 🙏”
About: I have a genuine passion for looking after animals. As well as sights like Borrow My Doggy, I am also a member of Trusted Housesitters and have looked after a range of young, old, small and large dogs and have built up a great relationship with all owners I work with. I would love to be considered to look after your pet. I’m currently working partly remote, meaning I have more spare time to attend to the pets I look after, including more regular walks and cuddles of course! Despite living in a flat, it is extremely spacious with access to a courtyard and parks close by. I would be happy to show you around ahead of a service.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Mid Sussex
I could not recommend Ellie enough. She was wonderful with our three Ragdoll cats while we were on holiday. She sent photos and communicated with us every day. She also looked out for things in the house and kindly placed a towel around our freezer when a power cut caused it to leak. Ellie clearly loves animals, and that comes across very genuinely.
Sophie visited our cat every day during our holiday and we arrived home today to a very happy cat! It was lovely to receive the updates and Sophie very kindly watered our houseplants, which otherwise would not have survived the latest heatwave. Thank you Sophie, we really appreciated your help with Kasper and the plants too.
Amazing cat sitter! Cannot reccomend Charlotte enough. My cat is very timid and Charlotte took the time to sit with her for a while so she wouldn't be so scared when she visited. She was looked after so well. I felt super assured with Charlotte looking after my cat. 10 out of 10 stars!
Abi and Vinesh are the absolute bestest! They are out go-to sitters whenever we're out of town. Our cat Turnip absolutely loves them, they send us so many great updates and photos, and where he used to get anxious after we'd been away he now seems so much calmer and happier because he has people he loves checking in on him ❤️ Definitely recommend!
Alex was wonderful, checking in on my cat every evening while we were on holiday. She sent lovely updates and photos each evening, and I felt completely confident that my cat was being well looked after. I would 100% recommend Alex to anyone who wants to make sure their pet receives plenty of love and attention while they’re away!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mid Sussex on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 6,565 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Mid Sussex. About 89% of Mid Sussex sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 cat, 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. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
