About: Hello! I’m Hannah and I’ve been a huge dog lover since a very early age. I regularly look after family, friends and colleagues dogs and now do this alongside my full-time job. I have also fostered dogs long-term for Raystede animal charity. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. For dog boarding, I appreciate that every dog has their own individual needs and routine and I try to recreate this in my home. I know pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I work from home 3 days a week and have alternate Friday’s off, so I have lots of time to cuddle your pups! I don’t work weekends so am extra flexible on Saturdays and Sundays. There are two external doors (excluding front door) to get outside, so your pets will be very safe in the flat. There is a communal garden unfenced but away from the road, a woods about 5 minutes away, plus a large park at the top of my road.
“Absolutely fantastic!! Flo was well loved and looked after, long walks and plenty of cuddles. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a dogsitter. We will certainly bring Flo back whenever we go away next and are unable to bring Flo. Thank you, Sarah & family for all your support.”
“Thanks to Karmen again for looking after Madge for boarding twice in November. Madge is totally at home with the family and disappears into the house as soon as we arrive!! Thanks for the great care - I’d recommend Karmen and family to anyone for daycare or boarding.”
“Thank you Maria and family. Jasper had a lovely time with you. It was reassuring to have photos and updates and nice to see what he was up to! Lots of fun and cuddles had - happy boy with you. Thank you. Maria is a super understanding host who pays attention to detail to ensure she fully understands dogs routines and needs. Very responsive to messages.”
“Marcus and Shelley gave our 13 month old cocker spaniel a fantastic two days . They sent lots of photos/videos of him relaxing or on one of his many walks. Would not hesitate to leave him with them again.”
“Jade was superb and I will happily book her again. She clearly cares and loves dogs and our two had a great time staying with Jade with plenty of walks and cuddles. Great comms before and during the stay.”
“Caro and family looked after our precious lab for ten days. They are very loving with her and we know she is in safe hands. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Caro as a sitter.”
“My little dog Ivy stayed with Nessa for 3 nights and was so well looked after. I received lots of photos and videos of Ivy enjoying her walks and being with Nessa’s gorgeous dogs. I have no hesitation in recommending Nessa as she is very caring and I was delighted with the care and attention that she showed to Ivy - many thanks.”
“Our 2 dogs were so happy at Tristan's. Got daily updates and photos/videos! Looking forward to booking with him again! @tristan - thank you again so much! Be back soon 🐾🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Lydia and the beautiful bullie boy you see in my picture is Hector! Hector is my life and he LOVES company, so I’m offering dog boarding and sitting at my home in Burgess Hill to give him company and because I adore being around dogs ☺️ I’ve had dogs all my life and have had Hector since he was 8 weeks old - he’s now 7! I care for him like he’s my baby and would make sure your doggo is too! I have experience taking care of little puppers, large breed doggos and senior dogs. I often dog sit for friends and family dogs and Hector loves it, so extending the offering to others too. I looked after many dogs through Rover when I previously lived in Brighton, and now we have moved to Burgess Hill, I am offering it here too. I can also walk your dog when I’m free either with or without Hector too, as long as you’re within walking distance from St John’s Park. Having recently launched my own marketing consultancy, I work mainly from home and have a lovely secure garden with my home office cabin! This means the dogs can roam in and out of the cabin, to the garden and into the house as they please. I can also separate the dogs if they need a rest or to eat alone. My dog roams around as he pleases all day in and out of the garden cabin as I leave the doors open and can watch him wherever he is. Of course, if a dog needs more close care I can ensure the doors are closed and they have a bed in the cabin to rest. Your dog MUST be friendly with my dog Hector who is unneutered. He is a big loveable ball of cuddles and loves a dog that he can play with or snuggle up with. I can separate the dogs overnight if needed but your dog will be allowed to go on furniture/on the bed and will be treated like I would my own dog while they’re in my home (so like a king/queen)! I have a good sized, safe and secure garden as well as living close to some lovely parks. I can walk the dogs together or separate if you prefer or if your dog needs a lot of walking (Hector is a bit slow bless him!) I don’t drive so you will need to drop your dog off with me and pick them up unless you live in walking distance of St John’s Park. I would prefer to do a meet and greet first to make sure your dog likes me and most importantly gets along with Hector. As Hector is a bulldog, I’m used to caring for very needy dogs with lots of medical issues so be assured I can meet all your dogs needs!
“Poppy had a great time. Zoe ket me up to date during Poppy's stay and sent over some lovely pics of her on walks. Lovely family home with 2 gorgeous spaniels. Collected a tired happy doggo, and had a stress free weekend away with dog care sorted.”
“We could not have wished for a better holiday home for our Labrador Indy. Karl and Nicky are very knowledgeable and offer a loving home from home. Their beautiful dog Albie was the perfect playmate and Indy enjoyed lovely walks to new and exciting places and lots of fun in the garden. We got regular photos and updates and knew that Indy was having a wonderful time. We will definitely want to book Indy in for another stay on our next holiday and could not recommend this lovely couple highly enough to take care of your beloved dog. Thank you so much Karl, Nicky and Albie.”
“It was Woody's first stay away, as soon as I arrived, I felt very comfortable with the family and the home, their son was brilliant with woody, I was nervous as woody can be anxious, but I was at ease immediately. I also struggled originally with the app but they helped me through getting it set up and the whole experience was brilliant. I will definitely use again and couldn't recommend enough, thank you so much”
“Daisy stayed over for 3 nights with Lauren, while we were away. She sent regular updates with photos and put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time away, knowing that Daisy was being cared for so well! Thank you so much again x”
“Wow! We are so grateful to Hollie² for taking such good care of Maureen whilst we had a weekend away. They were able to take our booking last minute (including the meet and greet to make sure their lovely dogs got on with Maureen) and we are so glad they did as it meant we found their service and we'll rebook if we can for sure! Such lovely people, perfect blend of diligent in understanding your dogs particular needs or quirks whilst being relaxed and authentic dog lovers. Thank you so much. Maureen misses them already!”
“Wow, what can I say?! Our puppy Luna had the absolute best few days staying with Viviana. She became adored her dog and was so loved and well looked after. Viviana kept us updated with messages, photos and videos. We cannot recommend her highly enough and Luna would definitely love to visit her and her family again in future. Thank you Viviana!”
About: I love dogs and grew up with them. I have 2 of my own a Cocker Spaniel (5) and a mini dachshund (11 months). I also have a cat and 2 horses (the horses live at a livery yard)). I have taken care of friends dogs (and other animals) for many years. When I look after other peoples dogs they are treated like part of the family. I have had my dogs since puppies so am used to puppy antics! I am at home all day and have the time to take them for 2 walks per day, play with them and cater for their every need. We have lovely walks on our doorstep so no need to get in a car. We have a lovely secure garden and plenty of space in the home. My dogs and visiting dogs are allowed on the sofas and mine sleep in bed with me but happy to cater for different requirements depending on what your dog is used to. Hi. I work from home and have 2 dogs of my own. We walk for about an hour in the morning around 7.30/8 and again in the afternoon time depends on time of year and weather. My dogs get fed 3 times per day but can cater for other requirements. I can have another dog boarding (only one or 2 from the same household) and can offer walks/drop ins. I have 2 friendly dogs - a working cocker and a miniature dachshund. And a cat. Your dog would be part of the family! I can offer walks with my dogs or individual walks.
“My Bonnie had a wonderful time with Sarah and her family. Sarah was very quick to respond to messages pre booking and sent photos and updates every day! I would strongly recommend her and will ask her again when we go away next time!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 20 years and have fostered several rescues, including dogs with complex needs. I’m fully licensed by Mid Sussex District Council, trained in canine first aid, and experienced with a wide range of behaviours and routines. I only care for sociable dogs and keep numbers low to ensure a calm, relaxed home environment. I’m confident with raw feeding, medication, senior care, and creating personalised routines to help doggies feel safe and settled. Every pup is treated like one of my own. I work full-time as a licensed home boarder, so dog care is at the heart of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, and the dogs are never left alone for long periods. Their day is structured with play, enrichment, rest, and outdoor time in the secure garden. Feeding, walks, and downtime are tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, your dog will be part of a calm, stable home environment and treated like family. Dogs in my care live in the home with me – they’re never kept in kennels or isolated. I have a dedicated doggy dayroom with direct access to a secure garden, providing a calm, cosy space for play, enrichment, and rest.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Mid Sussex is £35

If you’re looking a family environment for your dog to be a part of whilst you’re away. You’ve found it ✨ Our Labrador Moose stayed with Caro and her family for the weekend, whilst we were at a wedding. We met up for a walk before on the open fields in front of Caro’s house and after meeting Caro and Pepper (the families Labrador) and seeing where Moose would be staying, we felt couldn’t have found a more lovely family for him to stay with. We were fine to take his big bed, toys and whatever we needed and Caro was comfortable giving moose his allergy tablets. Communication was great over the weekend and we really enjoyed all the photos Caro sent us. Moose looked like he settled in really quickly - playing with Caro’s son. He was walked everyday and got to paddle in the stream and run in the fields - it looked like he had a happy holiday whilst mum and dad were away and we will definitely be rebooking. Thanks Caro, Pepper & family xx
I was so impressed with Lara and Simon, they did a fantastic job with my old pointer, Tilly. Tilly's very clingy and has a special diet, so she's not the easiest to look after, but they were really accommodating and did such an amazing job of making her feel welcome and keeping her happy! I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a dogsitter ❤️
Nessa is everything you could hope for in a dog sitter. From the moment Tilly arrived, she was treated as one of the family and quickly settled into the warm, calm environment that Nessa has created for her dogs. Communication was excellent throughout and we received regular updates, photos and reassurance that Tilly was happy and comfortable. Nessa clearly has a deep understanding of small older dogs and pays close attention to each dog's individual personality, routine and wellbeing. The secure field walks, enrichment activities, beautiful garden and constant companionship meant Tilly enjoyed a wonderful little holiday of her own while we were away. Most importantly, we knew she was safe, loved and receiving exceptional care. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nessa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful and genuinely caring sitter, especially for gentle dogs who thrive in a home-from-home environment.
Leaving Willow with Sarah for a week was a no brainer for us. Sarah always has the dog's best interest at heart and even gave the odd update to show how well Willow (who is usually quite anxious) was relaxed, having lovely walks and playtime. We could have a week away with complete peace of mind and came back to a relaxed and bouncy dog.
We were so lucky to have found Karmen who accepted our request to look after our little pug, Kiki, last minute! She was flexible, caring, patient and also took time to understand Kiki's needs. She kept us updated throughout the whole time and made us feel completely at ease being away from our Kiki. We cannot recommend Karmen enough!
We cannot recommend Ilona enough! As new dog parents, we were understandably nervous leaving our puppy for the first time, but she put us completely at ease from the very start. Ilona was so warm, accommodating, and genuinely reassuring throughout the whole experience. Our pup had an absolute blast and exactly what we were hoping for: loads of activity, plenty of cuddles, and wonderful socialization with other dogs. Ilona's home is clearly a loving and stimulating environment, and you can just tell she genuinely loves and cares for your dog, The regular updates and photos she sent along the way meant the world to us to see our pup so happy. She is without a doubt incredibly skilled, and we will be rebooking without a single hesitation. Thank you so much Ilona, our puppy loved every moment!
Claire was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog, Pepper, for the week. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease and that peace of mind continued the entire time we were away. Claire already feels more like a family friend. She clearly loves and understands dogs, and Pepper took to her straight away. Claire kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much to us and reassured us that Pepper was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It was obvious that she gave Pepper plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. When we returned, Pepper was calm, content, and clearly very comfortable with Claire: always the best sign! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. We’re so grateful for the fantastic care she gave Pepper and would happily book her again.
Simone was absolutely brilliant - from the communication beforehand to the updates and photos whilst Angus was in her care, I felt happy that Angus was in good hands. Simone clearly loves animals and went the extra mile to ensure she knew all about Angus so that she could give him the best holiday, and he clearly loved his time there. I can't recommend Simone highly enough!
Sarah was wonderful looking after Barney for me last minute. She is clearly a dog person and I felt very relaxed leaving him with her (& her friendly cocker spaniel Ruby). Sarah has an enormous garden which Barney loved. I wouldn't hesitate leaving him with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mid Sussex on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
