“This was a fairly short notice booking but Catherine replied quickly to the Rover drop-in request. She arrived promptly and sent me several feedback messages and pics of my JR terrier who appeared contented and had eaten the early evening meal and treats which Catherine laid out. All good.”
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 volunteer for the cinnamon trust, walking and sitting for people’s dogs near me. I live near the South Downs so it’s the perfect place to take dogs for walks. I work from home a lot too so happy to dog sit during the day. I work from home three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and am also available at weekends for dog sitting or boarding. I can take the dogs out before work, during my lunch break and after work also, as well as keeping them company during the day from home. I have a fenced garden and live right next to plenty of fields so am very conveniently located for walks too! I live in a house with my partner and we both work from home a lot.
About: I know how hard it is to find reliable care that fits around real life, and how important routine consistency is for your dog. I realised that I can help and am excited to offer solo, on-lead neighbourhood walks and welfare drop-in visits to your home. With a one-on-one, your dog gets my full attention and sets the pace. Whether that's a slow sniffy walk or a heart-raising stomp. I'm a very active, all-weather walker. So you can be assured that I will show up in all conditions and ensure your dog gets a good, consistent experience. I currently focus on one-to-one walks. I take caring for your dog seriously and will treat your dog as my own, and will send you updates on the way. Once we've built trust, if you are comfortable, I may optionally suggest an occasional walk with my own friendly Labrador. I work from home during the week so can regularly offer walks and day care. I keep my availability realistic so I can be dependable for the bookings I accept. If you're looking for regular or last-minute help, let me know and I will do my best to help you out. I offer welfare drop-in visits to your home to give your pup a much needed break during the day. I'll let them use the bathroom, refresh their water, feed a meal if required but most importantly, give them lots of attention and play. So you can be sure your pet is happy at home while you are out.
About: Ive been offering boarding and doggie day care services for the past 5 years. We are a dog loving family (my 2 children are 12 and 14 years old) - and have our own very affectionate cocker spaniel Ruby. I have a policy of a maximum of two dogs at a time as it is my priority to offer your dog the attention they need in a quiet and calm home environment. I work part time from home so I am always around to offer your dog country walks and attention throughout the day. I love the outdoors and love hiking and walking - we live nearby to lots of beautiful walks - eg Ashdown Forest, Ardingly Resevoir & Showground which are excellent stomping ground. I do a daily walk of 45 mins to an hour but this can of course be tailored to suit the requirements of your dog. I live in a private road which has no traffic and have a large garden (0.75 acres) which is fully fenced and doggie proofed so your dog will have lots of garden to explore and run about in in between walks. I work part time from home so am at home all day during the week. I offer daily walks of up to 1 hour but can always tailor this to your dog if they need more or less I have a large garden (0.75 acres) which is fully fenced so there is lots of room to run around in between walks. Dogs are allowed on sofas but I do ask that dogs sleep downstairs in their own bed at night.
“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! ❤️”
“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.
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.
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!
“We’ve had Hollie visit our boys quite a few times now and our dogs absolutely love her visits!! We always get the best pupdates and feedback which is so heartwarming! We honestly don’t know what we’d have done if we hadn’t found Hollie😊”
“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!”
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: 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.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and grew up in a very pet-friendly environment. I had my own Dachshund for 19 years, as well as parrots, so I'm experienced with both dogs and birds. My extended family also had cats and dogs and I've looked after pets for friends as well. I also have experience with puppies, including helping care for litters when my dog had her own. From a young age, I've felt comfortable around all kinds of dogs, including strays that I looked after and I naturally build trust with them. I provide calm, attentive walks and care and l always treat each pet as an individual, making sure they feel safe, relaxed and well looked after. I’m available for dog walking on weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific times in advance if needed and agree on times that work well for both of us. When caring for pets I try to follow their usual routine, if they have one, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh water, food and plenty of attention, play and exercise. During walks, I prioritise safety at all times and ensure dogs are handled calmly and responsibly.

Pet 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!

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Mid Sussex 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.

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 Mid Sussex 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!

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.
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.
