About: We are an active professional couple in our 60’s who have retired early. Before we retired I was a management accountant & my partner Chris was a Design Engineer. Our interests include Kayaking, Cycling, Walking & Photography to name a few along with DIY & Gardening. We also love nature & animals & have owned several dogs, cats & other animals over the years. We have been looking after peoples homes, pets and other animals now for over 8 years with over 100 5 star reviews and have loved every minute of it. Our house sits have ranged from looking after a smallholding with alpaca's, rare breed goats, sheep, chickens and dogs, to just a single cat. The properties we have maintained have ranged from 7 bedroom villas in France with pools and landscaped gardens to 2 bedroom bungalows in Sussex. Now we can offer this service from our own home and have looked after several dogs in our home for friends and past house sitters. We are very practical and "Hands on" so can deal with most eventualities. We have a lot of experience in looking after & caring for dogs cats & other animals having owned several ourselves over the years as well as looking after other peoples. We also have experience of having our own house looked after by house sitters so understand what is like to go away & entrust your home and especially your beloved pets to someone else. We are honest & very respectful of other people’s houses & property and privacy. Lastly but by no means the least is that we absolutely love animals so if we have to look after yours you can be assured they will be in very good hands & probably spoiled rotten. Chris does not work and I only work casually as an invigilator so your pets would get our undivided attention. We are keen walkers so you can rest assured your dog would get the exercise they require. We have a very safe and secure garden in a quiet area of Worthing. There will be no other pets in the property. We can accommodate crated or uncrated animals and can have animals in the bedroom although not on the bed.
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.
“A huge thank you to Kat. The meet and greet and her flexibility were greatly appreciated! Maisie is usually quite qnxious, but she took to Kat and her children, who are equally chilled and gentle straight away. I would highly recommend!”
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
“Ron had such a great time today! I was really nervous leaving him for the first time, but Helen was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the day, which made me feel completely relaxed knowing Ron was happy and settled. I couldn’t recommend her more — we have already booked again!”
About: I already dog sit for my family’s dogs and have realised it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. I regularly look after a rescue dog, a sausage dog, and a Labrador—sometimes all three at the same time—so I’m no stranger to busy households and dogs with different personalities and needs. Caring for multiple dogs has given me confidence in handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, I take the responsibility seriously. I’ve also done babysitting in the past, which has helped me develop professionalism, reliability, and respect when working in other people’s homes. I understand the importance of trust and will always treat your pets and home with care. I’m currently in between jobs, so from now until the end of the summer holidays I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. This means I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight stays. I can also help on weekends if needed. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while they’re in my care. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have so they feel secure and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I always follow owners’ instructions closely. Whether in your home or out on walks, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own family’s dogs, while also respecting your home and keeping you updated for peace of mind.
“As ever Schnitzel and Pretzel loved their time with Rob and Jocelyn. Fantastic service from a friendly and extremely dog loving couple. I would never leave them with anyone else. They have cared for my fur babies a number of times before and they have always been well loved and cared for.”
“This was a great first experience for Bennie and me. From the photos and videos throughout the day, as well as occasional message updates, i never hsd to worry about her. Leah made sure that Bennie was well taken care of, and there was someone with her at all times. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

A successful first stay with Helen for Poppy. Lovely to receive photos of Poppy's time with Helen looking content. Helen was friendly, gentle and calm with Poppy and also, helpful with preparing for Poppy's first visit. Thank you Helen for all your support and kindness.
Jade has been absolutely amazing in looking after Foxy for me. She sent me photos and kept me in the loop for how Foxy was doing for the day, giving me peace of mind. She fed Foxy and took her out for walks. Jade was very helpful and friendly. I can’t thank her more. Really appreciate it :)
We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy received. From the very first day, it was clear how kind, patient, and attentive she is. She kept us updated, followed all our instructions, and treated our puppy with so much love and care. As first-time puppy parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We are extremely grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. Thank you so much for everything! 🐾💛
I highly recommend Kotryna. She is always super accommodating and so willing to help with Oscar when she can. Oscar loves visiting and is immediately right at home. I feel reassured he is well taken care of and enjoys lots of cuddles, a walk in the park and Kotryna is great with communication. Oscar is always very relaxed when he comes home, so I know he's had a good day.
Lily and her family took such lovely care of our Lilly. Communication before, during, and after the booking was excellent, and it was clear she was in great hands. Lilly had a brilliant time, was well looked after, and came home happy and tired, which is always the best sign! Highly recommend.
You know within seconds that you'll be comfortable leaving your dog with someone and that's how we felt. Because of a medical condition our dog needs to be fed small amounts at regular intervals and Kate was happy to take the time out to do this. Also, Kate was able to take our dog for a good walk during the day. Can recommend without reservation.
Carmen is fantastic. We feel completely confident and happy leaving Lilly in her care. Lilly was so excited to see her again, which says it all. We really appreciated the lovely photos and the full diary of her day and it’s clear Carmen goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is not just looked after, but genuinely loved and engaged. A brilliant experience all round.
This was a great first experience for Bennie and me. From the photos and videos throughout the day, as well as occasional message updates, i never hsd to worry about her. Leah made sure that Bennie was well taken care of, and there was someone with her at all times. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Louise took such great care of my pup, and Bennie was eager to see her each morning and calm and relaxed each afternoon. She kept me updated with photos and I felt really reassured that Bennie was safe and happy during the day. Highly recommend. Thanks Louise!
Huge thank you Wendy for making Jojo’s stay so easy and stress-free 🐾💛 From start to finish, everything was straightforward and it’s clear how much you care about animals. I'm so pleased to have found you. Highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little guy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Worthing on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,826 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Worthing. About 86% of Worthing sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Worthing commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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 .
