House Sitting Mid Sussex

“Catherine took great care of our pampered pooch and home whilst we had a family holiday abroad. From the first meeting with Catherine, we knew that she would take excellent care of our pup. Her experience and conscientiousness came through in her questions and she was keen to learn our routines to maintain a sense of normalcy for our dog. She kept us up to date with photos and snapshots of what they had been up to together and made us feel very comfortable having left our dog with her. This all helped us enjoy our holiday even more knowing our pup was so well cared for. We would definitely have Catherine look after our pooch again in the future.”

“Graham was a great communicator and regularly kept me updated on how things were going while we were away with pictures and messages. I trusted him from the outset and he felt like a safe pair of hands. He also has a good sense of humour and seemed to understand the complexities of our pets which all have their own quirks!”

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.

“Stephanie was great! She followed all of our instructions and was very confident with our very large dog. She kept in contact the entire time we were away and we came home to a spotless house! Will definitely be using her again!”

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.

“Gina took care of my indoor cat while I had a long weekend away. I’m always anxious about leaving him, particularly as he is currently on medication, but I had no need to worry as he was in excellent hands. Gina kept me updated with photos and I was reassured that he was well and happy. Gina is a really lovely person and Panda and I are lucky to have met her”

About: I have taken care for my friends dogs and have walked them often, I always make sure I speak with the owner to get all the neccesary information before taking them out (e.g how responsive are they to recall). I also looked after my old partners dog frequently and pet sat for her and took her for walks for days-weeks at a time. I have 2 jobs which have varied hours and shift patterns change regularly. I will always ensure I update my availability to suit this. As of present, I tutor in term time and work as a carer in half terms, however the caring job isnt daily which increases my availability during half terms In my home I have a fenced garden to keep my cat safe and I regularly check on her. I give her frequent affection while I'm home and always make sure her basic needs are met (clean litter tray, replenished food and water bowls)

“Wonderful! Sophie popped round to meet Phoebe before hand and she doted on her (and Phoebe loved her too) she even got to meet an extra friend, Sophie’s daughter, and they had a great time playing. Sophie’s communication was clear and kind throughout and she took great care of Phoebe during a heatwave, sending lots of photos of Phoebe cooling down and being a happy pup. Would 100% recommend!”

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.

“Ella house sat for us last week looking after our dog and cat and did an amazing job, I would highly recommend her! Ella sent us daily updates with pictures, she took Taffy to lots of different places Taffy looked liked she was having an amazing time! Ella is super friendly, she came to meet us beforehand and was great at communicating during the booking process. The house was spotless when we got back, we’re really grateful for Ella looking after everything so well for us while we were away, thank you Ella!”

“Simone is an absolute star. My sausage dogs had the best time with her. She was very kind and helped a lot. One of my dogs has a heart condition she was happy to give him his medication and take care of him. I came home to two very happy dogs and a very clean house. Thank you Simone for everything you did. Fabulous”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, over 30 years since I was a young child. I had a child-minder four days a week, she had two huge, gorgeous German Sherpherd dogs and a partner at the time who had his own German Sherpherd and he trained police dogs. I learned a lot about canine behaviour and still have to this day a great deal of respect for the trust dogs put in us to lead the pack. I know that trust is earned not granted. Being outdoors with dogs (or horses) is where I'm happiest, so I've made it my work (not with horses, yet!). I walk in all weathers - come rain or shine. I'm currently looking towards my dog training certification. Happy to do drop-in visits and cat feeding and cuddles too. Every new dog starts with a free meet and greet. I am available as follows: Monday 12.30 - 2pm for morning walks. 4- 6 pm for afternoon walks. Wednesday 10 - 12.30pm for morning walks. 4 - 6pm for afternoon walks. Thursday 10 - 1pm for morning walks. 4 - 6pm for afternoon walks. Friday 11 - 1pm for morning walks. 4 - 6pm for afternoon walks.. Saturday 12 - 6pm. All care takes place in your pet's own home or on our walks, where they're most comfortable — I don't board animals at mine. Before any first booking we do a free meet and greet so I can learn your pet's routine, quirks and any medical needs, and you can ask me anything. Dogs are walked on-lead unless you've told me otherwise, with collar, harness and lead checked before every walk, and I never walk more than 3 dogs at a time. In your home I follow your routine exactly — feeding, water, litter, medication — and I double-check doors, windows and gates are secure before I leave. Cats stay in or out strictly per your instructions. Your keys are stored securely and never labelled with your address, I keep your vet's details to hand for every booking, and you get a photo update from every walk or visit so you always know how they're doing.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and enjoy looking after friends and family’s pets as well. I love going on walks and having cuddles on the sofa and I will make sure your animals are well looked after I work Tuesday to Saturday evenings but can drop in on mornings and lunchtimes those days and then I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays I have a high fenced large garden and a small terrier and cat. We feed them both twice a day and the back door is usually open so they can go in and out whenever

“Isabella was great with Bella! We came home to a very tidy home and a happy dog. Will happily use her again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life as has my partner. I've mainly been around boxers (I can't remember a time that my parents haven't had a boxer). Gray has had a whole range of pets but always had a dog at home. Our current flat isn't dog friendly but we would love to have a pet when we move into a property more appropriate. We are also great at watering plants, taking in deliveries and caring for your house while you're away! We can work around your routines and mix walk, play and rest as required. We are also very understanding to each dogs individual needs. I currently work full time locally in Haywards Heath so I can pop round in the day time on my lunch break to let the dogs out whilst Gray is a teacher and can be more available during school holidays and weekends. We adapt ourselves to fit in with your routines and what works best for the dog. Our main priority is that while you are away your dog feels as comfortable as possible whilst in our care.

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, including Retrievers and an Old English Sheepdog, and I’ve also cared for cats and rabbits. My rabbits have been part of my family for the past 11 years, so I understand the individual care and attention that small animals need. I’ve also looked after a friend’s dog on several occasions while they were on holiday, giving them complete peace of mind that their pet was happy and well cared for. Alongside my love of animals, I’ve worked in caring roles supporting both adults and children with learning disabilities. This has helped me develop patience, reliability, compassion, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. For added peace of mind, I hold a ProTrainings Pet First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) certificate, I’m DBS checked, and I’m fully insured. I believe that great pet care is about combining genuine compassion with professionalism, so you can feel confident that your pets and your home are in safe hands. I specialise in home visits, providing care in the environment where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, administering medication where appropriate, or simply spending quality time keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and respect that I would my own animals. I’m also happy to care for a variety of other pets, not just cats and dogs. Whether you have rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, or other small animals, I’ll take the time to understand their individual routines and provide the same attentive, compassionate care they receive from you. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away, so I’ll always keep you informed with messages and photos, allowing you to relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your very important pets! I am generally available 7 days a week. I can be very flexible and do accept short notice bookings so just let me know how I can help. As I provide pet home visits, I care for pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, helping to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and exotic animals. My dad currently has a big cuddly French bullmastiff and although he is large I am able to control him and make sure he’s looked after. He also has a little French bulldog who’s very energetic, so I’m no stranger to different energy levels in pets. When I dog sit I make sure they’re fed each day, have company as much as possible, walk them, ensure water is full and give him lots of love and cuddles. I am used to puppies and old dogs. As well as always having cats around too. Currently me and my boyfriend will dog sit our friends cockapoo, Ted. Im a freelancer so my schedule is different each week, however once I book something in I am committed. Being a freelancer gives me the flexibility to do things like this and also give me some company as sometimes it can get quite lonely when a lot of my friends work 9-5 and I don’t have much on. I will also ensure to keep my profile up to date as much as I can. I currently live in a 3 bed apartment with a large open plan front room and kitchen, when I have looked after dogs here I make sure I take them out to the green just behind my house as I don’t have a garden. I also ensure there is always water and they are fed when they need to be. When I’m other peoples houses I will always check what they prefer for their pet and follow that to ensure safety and keep the pets happy and comfortable. I also have room to have a crate in the house if a pet requires it over night so that is also not a problem for me. I am also happy for pets to be on my furniture however, if you would prefer them not to be because of habits I won’t allow them to climb up on them, just let me know :)

“Natalie is on time and very good with Vincent. I received regular txt and photo updates through the Rover app. Will definitely be using Natalie again regularly 😊🙌 🐶”
