House Sitting in Worthing

“One of my dogs is not the easiest, I was amazed at how at ease so early on he was with Carly. She has a natural ability with dogs. She looked after our animals so well and also respected our home and looked after that too. I was nervous leaving the animals but she made us feel at ease with regular updates and easy nature. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“We were very happy with Ella’s excellent care of our dog and enjoyed seeing the photos that were sent whilst we were away. We were confident he was in good hands.”

“It's the first time I've booked Olivia and am very pleased with how it went. Olivia arrived on time, was communicative throughout the booking and my dog and cat were relaxed and calm when I returned. Guidelines were followed and I had no concerns at all. I'd be happy to use Olivia again if the situation arises in the future.”

About: I’m Lucy, I am an experienced house sitter, based in Worthing. I’m 46 and started house sitting in early 2025 via a different service. After many years working in client-facing roles, I took a career break and decided to move into house sitting full-time, as it better reflects my values. I’ve always loved animals, and I find real enjoyment in spending time with them and making sure they feel safe and well cared for. I love animals and lost my beloved Jack Russell, Lola, in 2024. She had become quite ill and I cared for her around the clock. I provide calm and reliable care for dogs, cats, and small pets in their own home, showering them with lots of TLC and cuddles (only if they want it though!), keeping to any routines, to give you and your pets a stress-free experience, whilst you are away. Whilst I am new to Rover, I have previously done housesits via TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals. Please reach out so I can share a link or screen shots of my 5 star reviews. I am also DBS checked and insured. I will provide regular photos and updates. Lots of cuddles (if they like it) and attention & walks as per their usual routine. I would like to have the option to leave for a few hours during the day for errands, so ideally suited to pet who are comfortable with being left for short periods of time (but I do have experience with very anxious animals, who could not be left at all, so it is an option but would incur a higher day rate) My approach is loving, calm, attentive, and routine-based, ensuring each pet is cared for according to their usual schedule, whether that’s walks, feeding, play, or just spending time together. I offer a free initial meet & greet before confirmed bookings to ensure I am a good fit for both you and your pet.

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.

“Jane came and stayed in our home for a week with our dog Luna while we were away. She brought her lovely dog with her (the dogs met before and got on very well). We were kept updated everyday about how Luna was and she looked very relaxed and happy in the photos. The house was clean and tidy when we returned, you wouldn’t even know someone had been there. We will 100% be asking Jane to help us again the future - she was excellent with Luna and we trust her completely in our home.”

“Daria stayed for 2 nights at my home whilst I was away, and she was fantastic. Buddy absolutely loved her. She sent photos and texted updates to keep my mind at ease. It was very reassuring to know that someone was taking really good care of Buddy. I’ll definitely book Daria again.”

About:

About: Growing up I’ve had my own animals cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice and fish so I’m quite familiar with caring for all different types of animals. I studied at an animal college and volunteered in an animal shelter too. I’ve also had experience with looking after friends and neighbours animals whilst they been away. I love all animals and try my best to give them the love and care they deserve 😊 I have a part time job so am somewhat flexible with days to look after your animals. I am also free in the evenings for late night walks etc. I already have a dog of my own but due to her being a rescue she is quite nervous therefore not the best around other dogs so wouldn’t be able to home board at my house. I would be available to pet sit at the owners homes and walking their pets.

“Elise kindly took care of our 7 year old dog Sáiva whilst we were away for 4 nights. Elise sent me updates and photos every day, which we really appreciated. She also took good care of our home, and probably left it tidier than how we found it! Would definitely recommend :)”

“Lynne was a huge help at short notice to take care of our Dog for a day. She kept me updated during her sit with pictures and reports of play time and snoozing in the sun. Absolutely brilliant.”

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!
