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: 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: 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.

About: At Doggy Care, I pride myself on offering a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your canine companions. Whether it's a full day of doggy daycare or an extended stay in our trusted boarding care, I tailor each experience to meet your dog’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of canine behaviour and a passion for animal welfare, I provide personalised attention, structured play, and a cosy home-from-home atmosphere. From puppies to very active dogs, I ensure guests enjoy plenty of exercise, social interaction, and restful downtime under compassionate, watchful care. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family—because I believe every tail deserves to wag with joy. Pet care is a structured and valued part of my daily and weekly routine. Each morning and evening, I allocate time for feeding, hydration, and general wellness checks to ensure the pet’s health and comfort. Daily walks or play sessions are prioritised to support both physical exercise and emotional enrichment. Throughout the week, my consistent approach not only meets my pet’s essential needs but also strengthens our bond over time. When i'm caring for pets, whether in my own home or a pet owner's home, I tailor the experience to the pet’s specific needs and the service being provided. In-home pet care often involves maintaining a familiar environment for the animal, following feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, ensuring daily exercise and enrichment, and keeping the space clean and safe. When pets stay in my home, I provide a warm, pet-friendly environment that’s structured yet comforting, with plenty of opportunities for play, socialisation, and relaxation. I also maintain regular updates and communication with owners to ensure peace of mind and continuity in care. My approach emphasises consistency, compassion, and attentiveness to each animal’s behaviour and well-being.

We had such a great experience today! She really saved the day after I forgot to book daycare for our Harlow. From the start, she was so friendly, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. Harlow had the best time and came home so happy after making two new friends, especially her super cute dog, Winnie! It was clear he was well looked after and had lots of fun. She was incredibly available, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much!

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little in my family and have always loved dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I permanently moved to Worthing after I graduated university and now have my own dog, Franklin. I have experience with strong big breeds, nervous dogs, older dogs etc. I work from home three days a week, so I have a lot of flexibility for pet care! On those days, I usually take my dog for a walk during my lunch break, or earlier in the morning if it’s a hot day. I also often have weekends free, which is perfect for giving pets lots of extra love and attention. At my home, I have a fully enclosed backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime. My dog Franklin is super friendly and loves having other dogs around to play so any pets staying with us get plenty of love and attention!

About: Hi! I may be new to dog sitting, but I’ve had my hands full for the past two years with my lovable Labrador. Being a dog mum has taught me responsibility, patience, and just how much love and attention dogs need to thrive. I can’t imagine life without dogs now, and I’d love to give your pup the same care, attention, and belly rubs I give my own. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a safe, loving home environment. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, so they feel comfortable and settled while you're away. For your peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and home boarding. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they're happy, safe, and well looked after. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or simply curling up on the sofa for a nap, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and one-to-one care. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home and giving them a fun, safe, and happy stay! 🐾❤️ I work part-time, so I have good flexibility for dog care. Thursdays and Fridays work best for me, with the occasional weekend available. As a teacher, I’m often free during school holidays, which means lots of time for overnight stays and doggy day care. Just be sure to book well in advance! I provide a safe and trusted home environment with a securely gated back garden for supervised outdoor time. My friendly Labrador is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. Indoors, there is ample space for comfortable sleeping areas and quiet rest, allowing your dog to feel calm and cared for.

About: I previously had my own Fox Terrier and have many years of experience living with and caring for dogs. When he was young, I undertook six months of structured training with Applied Canine Behaviourist and professional dog trainer Julie Hindle. The experience gave me a good understanding of canine behaviour and body language, and taught me the importance of calm, confident and consistent handling. I now regularly walk and care for dogs for friends, including having dogs stay with me for several weeks at a time. I enjoy getting to know each dog's individual character and adapting my approach to their temperament, age and needs. I live on my own without pets or children, so I can offer visiting dogs a quiet environment with plenty of individual attention. I work independently and have a flexible daily routine, so I can adapt walks and care around a dog's usual schedule. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, and having a dog with me fits naturally into my day. When a dog stays with me, I am able to give them plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I take time to understand each dog's normal routine, temperament and boundaries, and aim to keep their care as familiar and consistent as possible. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, particularly when meeting other dogs or encountering unfamiliar situations. I also have hands-on experience with basic grooming, including brushing, coat care, nail trimming and general hygiene, and am comfortable handling dogs calmly during grooming.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and respect I give to every dog as an individual. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — I genuinely take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, energy level, and needs so they feel safe, settled, and happy. I’ve always had pet dogs, so caring for them is second nature to me, and I currently have a puppy, which means I’m very familiar with the patience, consistency, and structure puppies need. I’m confident supporting basic puppy training such as lead manners, routines, positive reinforcement, and calm behaviour, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra reassurance, or medication routines. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely love what I do. I treat every dog as if they were my own — prioritising safety, comfort, enrichment, and affection — so owners can feel completely at ease knowing their dog is in capable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside my shift work. Because I work shifts, my days off change each week, which actually allows me to be very flexible and available at different times — including weekdays when many sitters aren’t free. On my days off, pet care is my main focus, and I’m able to give dogs my full attention for walks, day care, or sitting. Even on working days, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every dog receives the time, attention, exercise, and care they need — never rushed and never overlooked. I plan my availability in advance, communicate clearly with owners, and only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so dogs have a calm, consistent, and reliable experience. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in an owner’s home, I follow their routines closely so pets feel secure, comfortable, and relaxed. In my home, dogs are welcomed into a clean, safe, and relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and appropriate exercise. I make sure spaces are dog-proofed, remove any hazards, and only accept dogs that I’m confident will be a good fit. I will always and ensure they always have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and mental stimulation. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the home with complete respect and maintain the dog’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding, walks, medication, and sleeping arrangements. I prioritise safety on walks, use secure leads and harnesses as instructed, and provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and reliable, and I care for every dog as if they were my own — creating a safe, trusted, and loving experience every time.

Hannah is a lovely, gentle, knowledgeable person and my 2 little characters took to her straight away. I was able to enjoy my special day without fretting about them. She sent me regular photos and updates throughout the day. When I picked my dogs up, they were having a last leg stretch and comfort break. They were happy and relaxed. They'd had a lovely day and will definitely be back. Thank you Hannah. X

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Worthing

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Worthing on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 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 1,887 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.
