“Natalie is an awesome sitter. She looked after our new puppy and was super helpful, professional and trustworthy - we felt totally at ease knowing our pup was in excellent hands and she gave us regular updates throughout the day. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pup!”
About: l've always had a love for animals and have years of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have two dogs, Tomas and Archie, who are my world! They're friendly, well behaved, and love making new friends. I know how important it is to create a safe, happy, and loving environment - that's exactly what I offer for your pets. I work from home four days a week, with Wednesdays off and weekends free. You'll usually find me out and about with the dogs - beach walks, exploring the woods, and plenty of fresh air and fun! My boys are on a raw food diet, well trained, friendly, great with dogs, cats and children, crate trained, calm, confident and used to all sorts!🐶🙂
About: I have always been surrounded by many pets, having grown up on a small holding, with equine, sheep and poultry. Grew up with Golden Retrievers and smaller breeds. Attended Plumpton College to study Animal Management - qualified Level 3. I work from home on the days when pets are in my care. I work for the NHS as an Estate Manager, my work is very flexible therefore my schedule will be altered to suit the care and presence of your pet. I have a 3 bed home in Battle, 20 minute walk to the village, close the Netherfield woods and have access to a vehicle to walk at alternative locations.
About: I've been with another House and Pet sitting site' since 2023 mainly working in the Dorset and Devon area and have Five Star Reviews from pet owners. I have undertaken several longer term house sits in that time and asked back repeatedly by some pet owners. Looking after dogs and cats. I can work remotely and can be flexible with work hours so can go dog walking when needed. I'm available for house sits during the week and over weekends. With house sits, I work to the guidelines given by the pet owner. I like to meet up with clients and their pets before the house sit, so there is some familiarity or initial bond with animals before I start and also to go over routines and house layout. I communicate regularly with the pet owner while they are away to give updates and send pictures.
“I would like to highly recommend Leah as a pet sitter.Although I have only met Leah a couple times of times so far, she made an instant wonderful impression on me. I own a very wary nervous dog who normally takes a long time to trust new people, remarkably and completely out of character my dog warmed to Leah immediately.Leah has a brilliant warm energy around her and a natural affinity for animals that dogs can clearly sense. Apart from being fantastic with pets she is a warm and friendly person to be around and deal with.I have complete peace of mind leaving my dog in her care and whole-heartedly recommend her Shirley 30/6/26”
“I chose Hollie because she has cats of her own and, on meeting Ariel, immediately made friends. Hollie was terrific, sending me little videos of Ariel during their time together and communication was top notch. I will definitely use her again.”
“I’ve never employed a sitter for my lovely hairy girls before. I’m with them all the time and they can have terrible separation anxiety. Amy is very calm and sensible. I had numerous reassuring messages from Amy throughout the day and pictures of my 2 happy dogs. I came in to find them happy with lights left on for them so that if I arrived home after dark, they wouldn’t be left in a dark room. So pleased with Amy, really lovely girl. Trustworthy and kind. It’s all you need! Happy dogs, happy owner.”
“All I can say is amazing! Hollie is a very caring and organised dog sitter. Our Jack Russell is quite a nervous dog but Hollie soon made her feel relaxed. The photos were adorable! Hollie left our house in an immaculate state. We will definitely rely be using her again and can highly recommend her.”
“Paul was lovey, friendly and very focused on being as helpful as possible and on Albert’s care when here Great, quick, communication and flexibility when i had to reschedule the booking Would definitely book again when needed”
About: I grew up with a passion of wanting to work with animals as a veterinary nurse, volunteering at local vets and animal rescues as a teenager. I'm now an NHS professional, with a love for animals still wanting to do something on the side of my full-time job. I grew up with a cat and dogs and other furry critters, have owned my own since including my little scaly friend who is a Crested Gecko. I've made doggy friends through friends who have been on Rover and am now wanting to make my own! I work full time as an NHS professional, so while my availability can be limited I also have varying days off and occassional free weekends as well as evenings. I live with two dogs owned by my friends who have also become my companions. I'm a versatile person who likes to match the energy of others, so whether your pet needs someone hyperactive to play and run with or someone calm and lazy to take a steady walk and cuddle with, or maybe a hands-off approach, I can tailor to that. I have personal experience of owning a rescue/reactive dog in the past so can also be understanding to these circumstances
“Isabelle was brilliant. We went through my dogs food, and walked together before I went away, and I was really happy that they were in good competent hands. I thoroughly recommend Isabelle.”
“Lauren did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats while we were away. She was conscientious, reliable and excellent at keeping us updated and responding to messages. The cats had the companionship they needed and Lauren made every effort to maintain their daily routine. Our cats were very comfortable with her and were more than happy to get their cuddles, brushes and strokes from her right from the start. We came home to happy, healthy cats, a clean and tidy house and were able to enjoy a worry free trip. Lauren comes highly recommended!”
“We came home to two very happy and relaxed cats after Kasia looked after them for three days. We opted for house sitting as opposed to pop in visits and what a difference it made to our furry babies! They had obviously been really glad to have their regular daily routine undisturbed as well as the company, strokes, cuddles and games they got from Kasia who followed our instructions really well and left our house in perfect condition. Our cats warmed to her really quickly which was a great sign as they are both quite sensitive and we got updates and photos on a daily basis making us feel relaxed and confident that they were in good hands. We would highly recommend Kasia as she was reliable and trustworthy with an obvious flare for bonding quickly with other peoples pets. Thank you Kasia 😻”
“Tsarina is simply brilliant — really taking the time to understand our dogs and making sure they were happy while we were out. We instantly felt confident of her care and her abilities with animals and we are looking forward to booking her again.”
About: I’m a newly quailed Occupational Therapist and a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own 10 year old Poodle.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Rother
We love Ben. As soon as he walked in we knew he was right for Kobes. He has an amazing way about him. He is a very rare individual indeed. A soft and gentle soul and the perfect person to care for you dog or cat. He also went out of his way to come and meet us and walk with Kobe. That goes way above what you would expect in a house sitter. I struggle massively with mental health and we haven't been away for 4 years because of this. It was a massive step for my wife and I to go away and was terrified about leaving the dog. We now have someone who takes all that pressure and stress away. I genuinely cant thank or recommend him highly enough. x

I highly highly recommend Leslie and Max!! They went out of their way to help us out at short notice and it was so reassuring to know Hector was happy and cared for during the day, he was taken out for a walk and given lots of treats and he was very disappointed when Max went home at the end of the day. Wouldn't hesitate to leave a dog in their care. Thank you so much!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Rother walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Rother 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
