“Cannot praise Rita enough! Having been on Rover ourselves as sitters before getting Bubble we had high standards coming into the booking but Rita absolutely smashed it out the park! Regular photo and video updates and Bubble came back happy and clearly has had a wonderful time! Have already rebooked!”
“Carolyn & family looked after Lykke for a second time & we feel so happy that Lykke has somewhere to go where she feels happy & safe when we are away. We appreciate Carolyn & all the family looking after her so well & we will use them again in the future.”
“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.”
“Kotryna was lovely! We met up before the booking to introduce Riley and Dexter to each other for a gentle walk around the park. It was a good chance to meet Kotryna too, and get to know her a little. She very kindly picked Riley up to begin the stay, sent me lovely updates and photos, and Riley came home very happy. Thank you for taking such good care of my dog!”
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 have my own dog, Winnie, who I walk 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: 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.
“Rita was fantastic! Riley had such a great stay (almost seemed like she didn't want to come home again, haha!). I really appreciated all the photo updates. They kept me reassured and connected the whole time. Rita was communicative, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Riley came back happy, calm, and well cared for, which says it all. I’d definitely book with Rita again and highly recommend her to others.”
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
“Absolutely incredible, both our boys loved staying with Chris, he is so attentive and gave us updates every day, we couldn’t recommend him enough - Daddy dog owner. Chris soon picked up that I’m as neurotic and sensitive as our 2 Dachshunds- mummy dog owner. That also said, one of our boys is a very precious, but traumatised, rescue, and he can be hard work. Chris sent us pictures and short videos every day, which was massively reassuring to me, as well as an update in respect of how they were doing. How lovely is that?!! Chris was willing to hear about and understand our boy’s needs and difficulties; we took careful and gentle steps to introduce and familiarise, which Chris was more than happy to accommodate. Long story short, we have come home from holiday to two very happy, extremely well cared for doggies.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have loved caring for them from a young age. I now have two small dogs of my own, a Dachshund and a mixed breed who are both friendly, gentle, and love having canine company. As I work from home full time, your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have lots of indoor space for relaxing, as well as a large, secure garden for regular toilet breaks, playtime, and exercise. My dogs are easy-going and make great companions, so our home is best suited to friendly, social small to medium-sized dogs who enjoy being around other dogs. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family during their stay. I work from home Monday to Thursday, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. I take my own dogs for walks every morning and evening, and sometimes during my lunch break too, so it will be easy for me to fit a daily walk into your pup’s routine. I’m very flexible and happy to adapt to your dog’s individual needs and routine. We have a large, secure garden with plenty of space for play, exercise, and regular toilet breaks. My two dogs are both friendly and welcoming. Pickles, my little Dachshund, is quite independent and usually likes to do her own thing, while Badger is a bit more playful and would love a game with your dog if they’re happy to join in. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m more than happy to accommodate this and can provide a crate to help them feel comfortable and at home.
“Once again we left Alfie with Helen. We know that he going to be so well looked after, we can go away on holiday without any worries at all. I can't thank Helen enough for being so brilliant with Alfie. They do so much together, and we get lovely pictures and videos. Alfie is looking forward to seeing Helen again in December.”
“Having Buddy stay with Matilde was such a positive experience. The booking was really last minute and Buddy had recently been in season so couldn’t go off the lead. Matilde was so accommodating and helpful buddy had a great time and came back relaxed and in her usual routine. Thank you!”
“Thank you Sue! I felt very comfortable knowing Poppy was in Sue’s care. I appreciated it that she took notes about my dogs preferences and needs. The video of my dog playing that I was sent out my mind at ease. I look forward to the next time Poppy has to stay here.”
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.
“Katie and Jamie provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. Katie sent photos via WhatsApp so we could see how they were doing and we could see they were very happy and content. When we collected our dogs it was obvious the dogs had formed a good bond with Katie and Jamie. Katie and Jamie obviously love dogs and I would recommend them to anyone who want to know there pets are being very well looked after.”
“Our very tall Cockapoo Ginny had a wonderful time with lorraine and her family. Lorraine kept us updated with messages and photos which was very reassuring. Would recommend.”
“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”
“I can not recommend Lynne and her husband Lee enough. We went for a visit pre booking and found them to be friendly and relaxed and was immediately put at ease. Dudley, our dog, was happy with them and when we arrived to drop him for his holiday, jumped out of the car and went straight to their door. We had a relaxed holiday knowing we didn’t have to worry about him and that he was happy in their company and relaxed. We got regular photo updates. We were extremely grateful for their flexibility when our flight got delayed. Nothing was too much trouble and he really was well looked after. Not sure Dudley even wanted to come home with us as he misses all the attention. Can’t Thank you enough Lynne - Until the next time.”

This is the first time i have used both Rover and Kotryna and definitely wont be the last. Lola my dog was made very welcome during her stay with Kotryna and her family and she was relaxed and happy on collection. I would have no hesitation in asking if Lola could stay again
I cant thank Helen enough for looking after Alfie. Alfie adores Helen and runs up to Helens front door, he cant wait to see Helen. I think he is sometimes a bit dissapointed when we collect him. Helen has been looking after Alfie for just over a year now, and although Alfie is a rescue dog, and has some unusual quirks, Helen shows infinate patience and kindness, with Alfie. I never have any concerns when it comes to leaving Alfie with Helen. I dont know what we would do without Helen. Thanks so much.
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.
Nathen has been an absolute saint taking care of Jade! From the first day, she settled in his place it truly felt like her second home. As a fellow dog owner with his adorable Labrador, Benji, Nathen instantly connected with Jade ❤️ He showed such empathy and care, always making sure Jade was comfortable and happy. His thoughtful communication from the start, asking about her routines, food, and walks — really showed how dedicated he is 😊 I loved the adorable daily photos and videos 💕 They gave me peace of mind that Jade was in the best hands. Nathen’s great energy, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs made this such a positive experience. I’d absolutely recommend him — thank you so much, Nathen! 😄🤗

FAQs for Boarding - Worthing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Worthing on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,766 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 .
