“This is the second visit that Izzy has had with Carolyn and her lovely family. Carolyn was a lifesaver and helped me out with a last-minute request for doggy daycare. Izzy was right at home and is now snuggled up sleeping. Thanks so much 😁🐕”
“Claire was amazing with Hope. She kept us up to date and she was very nice about us being a bit late with the pick up! Hope greeted us with the biggest smile when we picked her up. She was clearly having the best time! Claire and her hubby Tom are truly lovely people! Hope cannot wait to hang out with them again ❤️”
“Sarah and family accepted a request at very short notice and are lovely - Syd really enjoyed a rainy day at their house playing with their equally lovely cocker spaniel, Ivy. Thanks, Sarah!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 9 and often walked people’s dogs on ‘Borrow my Doggy’ in London and Sussex. I’ve often looked after friend’s dogs when they’re on holiday. I work from home so am able to look after a dog easily. I can walk dogs in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. I can also look after dogs at the weekend. I live very close to the park. I live in a flat but am only a few minutes from the park so can walk there very easily, multiple times a day with the dog.
“Izzy had the most wonderful time with Nessa and her three gorgeous doggies. She had so much fun playing ball with them and had loads of lovely walks and time in the garden. She will definitely be returning!”
“From the moment I met Jordan and her husband I felt comfortable leaving Naia with them. Naias first session was great, she was excited to arrive, and Ivy was there to the last minute to say goodbye!”
“Svetlana was absolutely brilliant with my puppy Bobby and even helped me out on such short notice, she was very welcoming and Bobby throughly enjoyed his time there, would recommend to anyone.”
“Hollie was absolutely wonderful! The most caring, nuturing dog sitter. We have a dog who does suffer a little from separation anxiety but Hollie was wonderful. Kept us regularly updated with photos and messages and I know when he comes back happy, he just flopped on the sofa after a wonderful day out! I so appreciate your kindness and all the cuddles Hollie, it means the world when you leave your fur baby! Thank you!”
“Luna was so excited to see Jess and Dom again today. A clear sign that she loved her time with them. The photos updates were lovely and she came home very happy and worn out after a fun day.”
“Lauren and her partner were fantastic - inviting me to see their home on arrival, updating me with photos and videos throughout the day and putting our nervous dog at ease quickly. Will 100% use Lauren again, Daisy had such a good day with Maggie! Thank you 🐾”
“Jenny took great care of our little boy! He can be a little nervous and reactive with new people but she was so accommodating, we had a meeting ahead of time where he could check out the house and get to know Jenny and her husband. We then booked in for half a day to ease him in and Jenny managed to fit in a walk and even squeezed in a snooze and a little cuddle before lunch! Thank you for being so understanding of his barking, he can't wait to come again ❤️”
“Viviana was amazing with our 5-month-old puppy! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. Our pup was clearly well cared for and happy. We would absolutely recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“We secured our booking after a meet & greet where Gin and Laura seemed happy with each other ahead of her full day stay a few days later. Laura was very amenable, flexible and friendly with Gin and us humans. I would be very happy to contact Laura again when I visit my daughter in Hassocks. Thank you for enabling our day trip to London.”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Mid Sussex
Hollie took great care of our puppy. It was his first experience at daycare, so I was feeling a little nervous, but Hollie kept me updated with pictures and messages on how he settled in. He left with his tail wagging, so that says it all! We’ll definitely book again. 🙏🐾
I couldn't recommend Nada highly enough! She is an experienced and knowledgeable dog carer who genuinely loves what she does. From the moment I met her, I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care. Before the stay, Nada was incredibly thorough and professional. She shared to me a detailed list of key questions about my dog's routine, personality, preferences, and any special requirements. It was clear she wanted to understand everything needed to make the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, which gave me great confidence from the start. Her home is perfect for dogs, with plenty of indoor space to relax and a secure outdoor area where my dog can play and explore safely. It's a welcoming environment that's clearly been set up with dogs in mind. Throughout my dog's stay, Nada kept me updated with lovely photos and videos, which was so reassuring and a joy to receive. It was obvious my dog was happy, relaxed, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Nada again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring dog sitter.
Luna came back a very happy and thoroughly tuckered-out dog after her lovely day with Emily, Ryan and Dusty. My mind was completely at ease all day knowing she was with them, and I trust them entirely with Luna. Emily and Ryan were also incredibly kind and understanding when we were delayed getting back, which we really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, and Luna would be delighted to spend another day with them!
Harvey had a lovely day with Claire and can’t wait to go back! She took the time to understand our little character and we felt really relaxed leaving him in her capable hands. So lovely to find someone who can provide Harvey such lovely care in a calm environment. Thanks Claire

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Mid Sussex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Mid Sussex on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 13,027 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Mid Sussex. About 86% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Mid Sussex commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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 .
