“We are so happy we have found Rita after moving into the area. Our dog Emi is treated like one of her own and I love having the peace of mind that she is being well looked after. Rita provides regular updates and was excellent caring for our dog at the tail end of recovering from a stomach upset. Rita was happy to monitor her a little more closely & feed a special diet. Would recommend Rita to anyone.”
“Kotryna has been exceptional by making sure that Harper has a home from home experience. We received pictures and videos regularly her walking be around other dogs and her little boy. It was reassuring to see Harper walking and having fun:-) We will definitely book with Kotryna again which will allow us to have time away on long weekends without a worry where will Harper stay.”
“Ruby loved her stay with Carolyn and we cannot thank her enough for the care and time she has given to looking after her- especially with building her confidence around children and with her emotional regulation as a 1 year old pup. We trust Carolyn fully with looking after Ruby whilst we are away, and we know she will be bouncing (but calmly!) to stay with her again ☺️ thank you!”
“Suki was very happy staying with Sian, we felt like she was in great hands. We had daily updates and photos and Sian was really communicative at every stage of the process. We would be very happy to have Sian look after Suki again in the future.”
About: I have been a dog owner for the last 10 years and have cared for a variety of breeds alongside my own pets. I have experience with rescues and separation anxiety. I can provide a caring family environment where your dog will receive plenty of love and attention, including two walks per day with my resident dog, Cheddar, who is a friendly, three year old crossbreed. I have a secure, fenced garden for your dog to run and play and the house is situated between three parks and a bridle path leading to Cissbury ring for plenty of doggy exercise. I work part time, from home, during term time so your fur baby will always have company and access to outside space. They will be walked twice a day with our family dog, Cheddar. I have two children that haven’t known a home without dogs, so they are calm and confident around them and understand they need their own space, as well as plenty of attention. If your dog is used to a homely, family environment we could be a great fit! I have a fenced garden and crates if needed. The house is calm and quiet during the day with plenty of space to relax, or play. I can adapt to your dog’s routine to provide a stress free stay.
“We cannot recommend Hannah enough, she is brilliant. Obviously a massive dog lover and very professional. She had our puppy for a week and when we picked her up she was happy and content. Hannah is quick to respond to any questions and was happy to show us where are dog would be staying. I can’t recommend her enough and I am certain we will be using her again soon. Thanks Hannah you made the very stressful process of leaving our loved dog a lot easier. Kev & Claire xx”
About: My husband and I have experience looking after our family and friends dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with them. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we're happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles to help them feel comfortable and at home. We also have a 2-year-old son who has grown up with our own dog, Nacho (2.5yrs old). Because of this, he's very gentle, calm, and confident around dogs, and we've taught him from an early age to respect their space and treat them with kindness. We have a lovely fenced garden for the dogs to play, or if they prefer long walks or simply relaxing with company we can do those too. We'll do our best to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. One of us is always home and Nacho gets a minimum of two walks a day. We are happy to take up to two dogs at a time and to have a meet and greet before hand for us to meet your dog and for you to see our home. My husband and I both work part-time so between us we are available everyday. Our house is in a peaceful dog friendly neighbourhood, 10 minutes walk from the beach and West Park Recreation Ground. I have a fenced garden and an Australian labradoodle, Nacho who is very friendly and loves other dogs. He would be more than happy to keep your fury companion company whether that's playing or just chilling.
About: Hello, I’m a BIG lover of dogs and their individual personalities. We had a family Labrador called Baileys who loved beach walks. I’ve co-parented a Pug called Darcie, who became disabled (her back legs buckled) and I took her for walks in a doggy rucksack, which she loved! Also, before they moved to Scotland, I was an auntie to my friend’s French Bulldog called Travis, who’s a rescue. I currently look after a French Bulldog called Tina. Therefore, I have experience with a diverse range of dogs, including dogs with disabilities as well as nervous, reactive dogs. Being a lover of the outdoors and nature, I enjoy taking dogs out for walks and on little adventures. I believe in giving all dogs the best quality of life and would love the opportunity to be a part of their doggy journey. I work at a local university and work from home a lot, so I’m open to a dog keeping me company at my ground floor flat where I live alone with no pets, and have a front garden. I also have spare time some evenings and weekends, and am open to looking after dogs in owners’ homes overnight and for holidays. I’m happy to answer any questions you have and I look forward to hearing from you and your fur baby. I work from home 4 days a week (days vary), and can take your fur baby to the toilet when needed during this time, and for a walk at lunch and/or after work. At weekends I like to get out in nature and would be happy to take them with me to enjoy the outdoors. I have an unfenced front garden (where I would keep your fluffy one on a lead if required, or would supervise them if they can be off-lead). I live in 2 bedroom flat where I live alone, so lots of space for your fluffy one to be free with me.
About: I’ve always been around Pets my whole life from having pets in my household and having many family member’s and friends with pets and I just can’t get enough of them. I work on a 4 on 4 off rotation, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy long walks across the downs on my days off. Perfect for tiring out energetic pups! That said, I know not every dog needs or loves a long walk so I’m flexible, my late dog rarely lasted more than 10 minutes, bless her. I care for pets as if they’re my own, always making sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their environment. I follow any routine you provide and prioritize their well-being, whether that’s playtime, rest, or gentle care for nervous pets. Clean, secure spaces and plenty of affection are always guaranteed
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! At my family home, we had a golden retriever and retriever/lab cross who I walked and looked after. I now have my own dog Winnie (a super friendly golden retriever) who I have raised and trained since she was a puppy and cat Rupert who we recently adopted. I regularly look after my parents’ dog and my siblings’ dogs too, both overnight and for walks during the day. I work from home so have plenty of time to play with, cuddle and walk your dog. I walk my own dog twice a day so dog walking fits easily into my schedule. I’m free most weekends to look after your dog overnight. I live with my boyfriend who might join us on walks occasionally. I have a fenced garden and my very friendly Winnie to keep your dog company. I also have a lovely cat called Rupert, who will pop in to say hello but stays mostly to himself in the daytime. I don’t have dogs upstairs or on the furniture but they’re free to roam around the downstairs and garden as they please!
About: RSPCA Mount Noddy volunteer walker Hearing dogs for deaf people assisting Dogs in the family always Help with raising puppies I’m reliable, patient, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, so whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having some company and affection, I’d be happy to help. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine as I’m already active, organised, and enjoy spending time outdoors. I structure my days so I have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or pet visits, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy being outside and staying active, so incorporating dog walking or pet care feels like a natural part of my lifestyle rather than a chore. I also have experience volunteering at Mount Noddy RSPCA, where I regularly helped walk and care for multiple dogs. This taught me how to manage time effectively and be reliable with scheduled commitments, even when handling different dogs with varying needs. Overall, I make sure I only commit to pet care when I can give each dog proper attention, care, and consistency. I’m organised, dependable, and always prioritise the wellbeing of the animals I look after. I always care for pets with the same attention and responsibility as if they were my own. When looking after a dog in the owner’s home or taking them out for walks, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure the dog feels comfortable and secure, especially in a familiar environment, and I take time to build trust and understand their personality. I have experience handling a variety of dogs through volunteering at Mount Noddy RSPCA, where I regularly walked multiple dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. This has taught me how to stay calm, alert, and in control in different situations, whether a dog is energetic, nervous, or reactive. Safety is always my top priority. I ensure leads, harnesses, and gates are secure, and I’m careful during walks to avoid unsafe situations. I also pay attention to the dog’s behaviour and wellbeing throughout, making sure they are happy, hydrated, and not overexerted. Because I’ve grown up around dogs and have supported puppy care through family volunteering with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, I’m also confident helping with basic training reinforcement, socialisation, and gentle handling of puppies. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, reliable, and caring presence so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: My husband Ryan and I have both always loved dogs and have looked after countless pups over the years both for family, friends and others. Our dog Nugs is the most important and precious thing in the world to us so we completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your baby. But dogs are treated like royalty in our home. Welcome on all furniture including the bed and as many kisses and cuddles as they’re comfortable with will be bestowed upon their tiny heads. Our pug Nugs is a pro companion now - he’s welcomed so many dogs of all sizes and breeds into his home over the years and is the most docile little thing you can imagine. He’s getting a bit older now and takes certain medication and supplements and so we’re happy to take on any dogs with additional needs. Not only do we have incredible walks on our doorstep (Highdown hill and Angmering Park Estate) but if your pup is comfortable in the car, we regularly pop a few minutes down the road to the beach for walks so they can have fun paddling in the rock pools or swimming in the sea. Before we commit to any bookings we will ask to meet you and your dog before hand to make sure they are comfortable and happy with us and our dog Nugs. Ensuring they will be happy and safe with us is our main priority. Both my husband and I work from home full time so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I am freelancing so set my own schedule so am able to be totally flexible when it comes to walks depending on your dogs routine and the weather to make sure it’s safe for them to go out. If your dog has a preference and set routine for walks, we’re easily able to accommodate this for you. We have a large enclosed private garden for your dog to run around in. Our pug Nugs is such a chill companion and is really good at adjusting to your dogs boundaries. His go to is to keep himself to himself but if your dog wants to play or snuggle, he’ll happily join in. Our home is clean, smoke free and dogs are welcome on all furniture including the bed. We’re happy to accommodate your needs and preferences so if you’d like them to sleep on a crate, in their own bed in a different room, or in our room/on our bed - that’s totally fine. We always welcome more cuddles! We have easy access to vets if they needed any medical attention whilst you’re away and are happy to administer medication or supplements for your dog as needed.
“Colin and his lovely wife and daughter took wonderful care of my dog at his home I was on a cruise for 2 weeks. My dog is usually scared of strangers but he loved Colin and his family!”
“Harvey took to Sue very quickly. She was very good with him as he does get over excited when meeting new people. She came to meet him before he boarded with her, which meant that he wasn't so anxious when he went to stay. Sue gave us daily updates which put our mind at ease and it sounds like Harvey had a great weekend. We would definitely recommend Sue and will definitely contact her to look after Harvey in the future. Thanks Sue!”
“Thanks again Helen. Mylo had a lovely stay. Helen kept us updated, as always. And Mylo had a lovely start to his birthday with a trip to pets at home for some treats - thabks Helen!”
About: Hey, I'm Jackie. I've loved and been surrounded by dogs most of my life. :) Growing up, my family bred dachshunds. From a young age, I pet-sat and dog-walked for my neighbour's pets. My first official job was in a mall pet shop, bathing dogs and cleaning cages. In college, I worked at a doggy daycare that looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds. I'm now the proud mom to two small rescue dogs (Maggie & Mango). I also have experience working with cats, small rodents, birds and exotic animals (I've had two pet hedgehogs and have looked after bearded dragons). I'm more than happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your pet before booking. I know how important it is to find the perfect person to take care of your best friend, and I would love to be that person! :) As a freelance voiceover artist, I have a flexible schedule. I'm available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can easily fit your pet care into my routine and will do my best to accommodate your needs. Currently based in Worthing. I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home and will follow any rules or guidelines you have (ie dogs not allowed in bed or on the sofa). My husband and I can also look after pets in our home. We're both freelancers, so home at all hours. We have a fully enclosed garden, and we also live near lots of lovely dog parks. Please note that we have two rescue dogs of our own. Maggie loves to play with new visitors, but Mango does not care to socialise. All dogs will have constant supervision.
“This was the first time leaving my 2 dogs with Chris, he has a great personality, the way he treats and interacts with my dogs was professional and caring. He sent me lots of photos and videos, together with chats and reassurance about the way my girls had settled in. When I arrived to collect them, they were happy and enjoyed their stay. I will certainly use Chris again.”
“We can’t thank Katie enough. We went on Rover to look for a dog sitter for our 8 month old puppy and found Katie. We went for a meet and greet and then Buster went to stay for the day. He had the best time and we were so relaxed and happy knowing he was well cared for. We got lots of updates throughout the day. So lovely to find someone you trust with your precious animal. Thanks again Katie”
“Ziggy had a wonderful time with Lynne.He was looked after like a king with lots of playtime and attention. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lynne and her husband who are such lovely people and Ziggy can't wait to go back. See you soon.”
“Excellent personal service from Leah. From the moment we met I knew Holly was in good hands. Leah sent me photos to reassure Holly was doing ok and she even dropped her home for me. Thank u”

Ron stayed overnight with Helen and was completely at ease — which always means so much to us. Helen sent regular updates and photos throughout his stay, and it’s incredibly reassuring to see him looking relaxed, happy, and genuinely cared for. Ron absolutely loves being with Helen, it’s one of the few places he settles straight away. We’ve used her regularly because she understands him so well, and every stay reminds us why we trust Helen so deeply. It truly feels like leaving him with family.
My 2 dogs settled quickly with Robin and I could enjoy my holiday knowing they were safe and in good hands! Robin was very responsive with emails / messages before and during the stay and was very helpful with everything. If I need another dog sitter I’ll definitely be booking Robin again - thanks for everything!
We booked Maple in for an overnight stay with Claire at very short notice. Claire was very accommodating and allowed us to do a short visit with Maple ahead of her stay so Maple could have a sniff around and be more comfortable in her surroundings. Maple was clearly thrilled- rolling around and making sure Claire received a good face wash. Claire sent us regular pupdates and pics, and arranging drop off and pick-up times was easy and clear. We felt we'd left Maple in a very safe pair of hands. Maple obviously had a brilliant time on her adventures with Claire and we'd happily book her in for a stay or daycare again (though maybe with a bit more notice next time...) Thank you, Claire!
Cassandra and her family were great. I last minute needed care for my puppy and Cassandra was able to help. Updates were given throughout the time my puppy was there which I really appreciated as this was the first time I had used a dog care service. I will definitely be using Cassandra again. Very happy 😊
We visited Louise and her family beforehand, and it was clear our dog was going to be just fine in their home :) we booked just one night with Louise, and she kept us updated with photos and messages, so we knew our dog was doing okay. We would definitely recommend Louise, and would happily book with her again!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Foxy received! From the very beginning, it was clear that Tamara truly loves and understands dogs. Foxy can be quite energetic, but she handled everything with patience, kindness, and confidence. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Foxy was happy, safe, and having a great time. When I picked Foxy up, it was obvious they had been well looked after and felt comfortable in her care. Thank you for going above and beyond. I would absolutely trust you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Louise E looked after our Cocker for 2 nights in her own home along with her own lovely friendly dog. Louise is a fabulous host. Alfie had long walks, I was provided with photos to see where he went and how he was. Very attentive to how/when Alfie is fed, walked etc 10/10
Olesia and her family took great care of our dog whilst we were on holiday. We were worried the dog would be sad without us but he had a lovely time with lots of attention and walks. They really took him to their hearts and we would be happy for him to stay again. Thank you very much.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Worthing on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,794 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Worthing. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
