“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 :)”

“Katie is wonderful . We met Katie and knew right away she was someone we could trust. It was a pleasure to have her stay and look after our dog and cats . Katie took on board all the various needs of our pets and made sure they were all looked after . The dog even got a little Xmas gift which she loves. We could not have asked for more. The house was clean and tidy when we got back, Katie kept in good contact with us and the pets weren’t that happy that she had left. I can’t recommend her enough if you want a very caring and trustworthy person to look after your home and pets”

About: Hello! . I am a primary school teacher working locally and proud owner of Hessian, my five year old indoor cat. I love cats and animals in general and Hessian gives me so much joy and company. She is a nervous cat and so I feel I am well equipped to deal with other nervous cats. I live in Worthing and often use cat in a flat to find suitable cat sitters for my cat. I know that she cat is happiest when at home in her own environment and so I will ensure I give you the piece of mind to relax whilst you are away knowing that your gorgeous cat is taken care of.
“We booked Lauren for an overnight sit to look after our puppy, Koki. Lauren was very professional throughout the process, and came to meet us and Koki twice before the sit. Koki responded very well to Lauren, and we were very comfortable leaving Koki under Lauren's care. Lauren arrived well in time for the sit, and was very well prepared. Koki was very happy and relaxed in her company. Lauren kept us very well informed about how Koki was doing, and we had no concerns at all during the sit. On our return, Koki was very good spirits and clearly enjoyed the sit, and Lauren left the house in very good order. We were very happy with Lauren's services, and will be using her again in the future.”


About: We’ve both grown up around dogs and have experience with all sorts of personalities, from small dogs to big, strong dogs, as well as rescue dogs who have been very nervous or anxious. We’re both tall and confident handling larger dogs too, so size definitely doesn’t put us off! More than anything, dogs are genuinely part of our family. We absolutely adore our own dog, Franklin, and know first-hand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your dog. Whenever Franklin is away from us, all we want is to know that he feels safe, happy, loved and gets plenty of cuddles, and that’s exactly the experience we want to give every dog we care for. We want owners to feel like their dog is being treated with the same love and care we’d want for our own.🫶🏻 Pet care already fits really naturally into our day-to-day life as we have our own dog, Franklin, who is our BABYY! I work from home two days a week and Harry is usually home by early afternoon, so between us there’s normally someone around for plenty of company, cuddles and toilet breaks. I already take Franklin out either in the morning or at lunchtime, so another dog would slot really easily into our routine and join us for walks, fuss and lots of cuddles 🥰 In our home, your pet will be treated just like one of our own. They’re welcome on the sofa, on the bed, and will get plenty of cuddles, playtime and fuss. We also have a fully enclosed back garden, so they have a safe and secure space to potter around, play and relax. We really want our home to feel like a little home away from home for them.💞 If we’re caring for your pet in your own home, we’ll always do our best to stick to their usual routine and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible, whether that’s their normal walk times, feeding routine, favourite sleeping spot or anything else they’re used to (including them sleeping on the bed, of course!)

“Carly was amazing! Was very quick to respond when we first contacted her and came over to meet Bentley prior to having him. We had a hiccup with keys for Carly upon her arrival to come look after Bentley and Carly handled the whole situation magnificently! We came back to a very happy dog and she sent us updates of how he got on. Highly recommend her enthusiasm, friendliness and expertise with dogs. Thank you again and so glad to have found someone going forward to have our little fur baby!”

About: I've cared for my own pets for 5 years, so I understand the little things that make pets feel comfortable and safe — routines, favorite spots and reading their moods. I send detailed updates and photos throughout every visit, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved. *I will often be pet sitting with my 10 year old animal-loving daughter. She is very responsible and sensible with animals and would help to feed, care for them as needed. I'm off work for the summer, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to pet care. Rather than just relaxing, I wanted to spend this time doing something meaningful — helping others and giving their pets the attention and company they deserve while owners are away. That means I can be flexible with visit times and give each pet unpaid attention, not squeeze it in between other commitments. Since I care for pets in the your own home, I make sure every visit covers all your pet's needs — fresh food and water, litter box or waste cleanup, exercise or playtime and plenty of attention. I also take care of basic house chores while you're away, like bringing in post, and basic security such as locking doors and making sure everything's secure before I leave. If anything comes up or seems off, I'll always communicate with you directly and promptly, so you're never left in the dark.
“We were looking for someone to look after our two whippets for a week while we went on holiday. It was the first time we'd left them and were quite nervous about finding the best fit. Our two, both took to Jane straight away, treating them like they were her own. The doggies loved her and responded to her, in some instances, better than they do with us! Jane made going away easy and both dogs ( especially our female Whippet who can be anxious) were given the five star treatment. We would highly recommend Jane to anyone needing a dog/house sitter as she is totally competent, reliable and trustworthy. I have started to refer to her as the Whippet whisperer!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats - I would like to help cat owners to go on holiday and I can help feed, once or twice a day I work full time but can always provide support in the morning and after work I am a car safe driver Trusted person who cares I have a fenced garden My retired father can help with walks to the sea side We both care for animals to a high standard
“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: 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: 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.
“I was so nervous leaving my baby girl (yes I know she’s a dog but she’s my baby) but Dell completely put me at ease right from the first meeting. Penny has been fine, I got plenty of updates and I was completely reassured at all times. Really helped me to relax and enjoy my daughter’s wedding. Came back to a spotless house too which is amazing. I cannot recommend Dell enough. Very happy dog mum 🙂”

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: I've always had a natural instinct when it comes to connecting with animals - from senior cats and neighbourhood pets to the local dogs who'd seek me out when I worked in dog friendly pubs! With that 25 years of experience in hospitality, I pride myself on clear communication, understanding different personalities, and delivering reliable, high quality care tailored to both you and your pet. As a nature photographer, I've spent years learning how to give animals their space, read their subtle body language, and wait patiently for them to feel comfortable with me. That same quiet patience carries over to my pet sitting - whether I'm earning trust of a shy cat or keeping an energetic dog happy and relaxed. My background: Cats & small pets: Experience with multi-cat households, senior feline care, rabbits, hamsters and reptiles. Dogs: Plenty of hand-on experience looking after dogs owned by family, friends and partners. Bonus: Because of my photography background, you'll get fantastic, high quality photo updates of your pets while you're away! I work a shift pattern that gives me full, dedicated days off during the week and weekends. On my off days, pet care is my sole focus,allowing me to give your pet plenty of quality time, companionship and attention. I keep my calender up-to-date so you can easily see when I'm free, but feel free to message me to check specific dates. Because I provide care directly in your pets own home, safety, trust and clear communication are my top priorities. High Responsibility & Care: In my main job, I work in a residential care home supporting young people with complex trauma. This requires deep patience, emotional intuition, and strict attention to detail - skills I bring directly to caring for your pets. Medication & Accuracy: I handle medication and detailed record-keeping as part of my daily job, so you can trust me to follow any precise feeding, medical, or routine instructions to the letter. Home Security & Peace of Mind: I respect your home as if it were my own - keeping it clean, secure and sending regular photo updates so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of!

Carly took great care of Mylo and Meeko while we were away for 18 days. She followed all their routines, including giving Mylo his Apoquel every morning, and sent me lovely photos and updates every morning and evening, which was so reassuring while we were away. Mylo is quite an anxious boy and only really opens up to people once he trusts them, so I was really happy to see how quickly he became comfortable with Carly and even started going to her for attention. Meeko absolutely adored her and seemed to spend half the holiday on her lap! I was getting slightly jealous of some of the photos! 😂 We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs who had clearly been very well looked after. I would happily have Carly look after them again. ❤️
David and Melanie looked after our two dogs in our home for two and a half weeks, and we couldn't have been happier with the care they provided. They kept us updated throughout our trip with regular photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. Our German Wirehaired Pointer is a real handful, but David handled him brilliantly with confidence and patience. When we returned, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As an added bonus, the house was absolutely immaculate. We would highly recommend David and Melanie to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitters, and we wouldn't hesitate to have them look after our dogs again.

Clem is awesome! She looked after Juno for a few days, basing herself at our house. We got great updates and pictures of a very happy Juno. Juno was excited when we got home but I could tell she was missing her new bestie. Thanks Clem, Juno is already excited for your next visit!

Olivia has been a star with our reactive rescue dog! From the moment of meeting her we felt super comfortable of leaving our dog in her care. We recieved updates and fotos throughout. She also ensured we were informed/ questioned about decisions there were to make during a major heatwave. Our dog was happy to see us on arrival, but kept checking all day and night to see where her new friend had gone to. Pleased to say that we already booked her again!

Georgina was brilliant she, popped round before for a meet and greet with our dog. While we were away she sent lots of photos and information during the sit. The house was immaculate when we returned. She also was very professional and responsive to our messages.

We booked Lauren for an overnight sit to look after our puppy, Koki. Lauren was very professional throughout the process, and came to meet us and Koki twice before the sit. Koki responded very well to Lauren, and we were very comfortable leaving Koki under Lauren's care. Lauren arrived well in time for the sit, and was very well prepared. Koki was very happy and relaxed in her company. Lauren kept us very well informed about how Koki was doing, and we had no concerns at all during the sit. On our return, Koki was very good spirits and clearly enjoyed the sit, and Lauren left the house in very good order. We were very happy with Lauren's services, and will be using her again in the future.

Elsie was amazing! My dog Bo just had the best time with her. She was professional all the way along with excellent communication and wonderful photos of my dog having the best time on her walks at the beach and cuddled up! I felt totally secure that my dog was getting the five star treatment she deserved whilst I was away. Thank you so much Elsie. Amazing and I will certainly use you again. Helen and Boxx

Tim is a dream sitter. He was very responsive with all correspondence and communicated very clearly. Tim took the time to visit us before the sit and asked lots of considered questions about Harry and his care. He is super organised, professional and very genuine. It was evident that Tim has a lot of cat care experience which made me feel completely relaxed leaving Harry and my home in his capable hands. Harry is usually anxious with men but didn’t run away from Tim. He has a calm and considered approach that Harry clearly appreciated. My home was left with no trace Tim had been there. Thanks Tim for taking such good care of Harry and my home, you are welcome back anytime.

Bertie had a lovely day with Claire! Claire arrived on time, kept me informed by text during the day as it was his first sitting. He had a nice walk and was very relaxed and happy all day. He took to Claire immediately; she is experienced with the breed and confident and assured with dogs. She is a helpful lovely person too and Bertie and I would love her to come again!

Katie is wonderful . We met Katie and knew right away she was someone we could trust. It was a pleasure to have her stay and look after our dog and cats . Katie took on board all the various needs of our pets and made sure they were all looked after . The dog even got a little Xmas gift which she loves. We could not have asked for more. The house was clean and tidy when we got back, Katie kept in good contact with us and the pets weren’t that happy that she had left. I can’t recommend her enough if you want a very caring and trustworthy person to look after your home and pets

The average cost for House Sitting in Worthing on Rover is £41.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Worthing walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Worthing choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
