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 walk my own dog 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!
“Lorraine took great care of our golden oldie cat Mabel, keeping me updated every day with how she was getting on including pictures which we always loved to see. Thanks again!”
“Courtney was a pleasure to deal with and looked after Dylan extremely well. She responded to our request immediately and we were able to have a short in-person meeting before the sit to explain how to look after Dylan. It was a short drop-in visit while we were out for the evening and she arrived on-time and spent a full hour with Dylan, sending us a lovely note afterwards to update us. Would highly recommend.”
About: I've been a dog owner for 28 years but a dog lover for longer! Due to my love of dogs, I have become an informal dog sitter for friends, family and neighbours over the last 10 years and I find walking them like my own personal therapy session! I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their individual personalities and needs. Recently returned from a working holiday abroad, and looking for work so available during the week and on the weekends. When I restart work I will be available on weekends. I have a large enclosed rear garden accessible via a locked side door. I also have a friendly older dog that gets on well with other dogs.
“Georgina has carefully looked after our boys. They were happy to be looked after by her as if we never had left them. Georgina respected our home in our absence and I would recommend her to anyone. We are all happy for her to look after them in the future.”
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.
“How pleasing it was to discover what a wonderful service this is. Sian was more than we ever dreamed as a friend to our old girl Magsy. She afforded such peace of mind, checked in regularly, took photos of the happy dog, and ensured that I could rest assured. Would be more than happy to have her help again with future travel-plans.”
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
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.
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.
“Elise has been amazing with our dog Mila! She’s super reliable, really caring, and Mila absolutely loves her. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in great hands, couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats through both personal ownership and regularly helping friends and family with their pets. I share my life with a five-year-old fear-reactive rescue dog, which has given me a strong understanding of working with nervous and reactive dogs who need extra time, patience, and thoughtful handling. I am very adaptable and non-judgemental, and I always prioritise reducing stress and avoiding triggers to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable. Through consistent training, I’ve developed a great working relationship with my own dog, allowing us to manage walks positively despite potential challenges. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once and am more than happy to tailor walks to suit each dog’s needs, whether that’s pavement routes or countryside adventures, and depending on their recall ability. I also regularly administer medication, including pills and syringe-based treatments, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs with additional care needs. Above all, I genuinely love all dogs, don’t mind getting muddy, and bring a calm, caring approach to every walk. I currently work Monday to Friday. On Thursday I work until 1pm so have the afternoon free and Wednesdays I normally have a few hours during the day. I’m free most weekends so have plenty of time then! I won’t be offering any services at my own home as my personal dog would not be comfortable with dogs she’s never met before. For dogs at their home I can administer medication, feed them, play and/or walk (depending on the service) and let them out for the toilet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, German Shepherd, Labrado, Zshitzu, sausage dog etc… as well as cats, hamsters and fish. I can play, feed, take for walks, cuddle etc.we’ve taken care of a hoglet that lost its mummy and rescued it. I work flexi hours from home, so available mon- friday. Also able to offer full board during the week or at weekends. I live close to the green, 4 parks, sea front, and the Downs, so plenty of walkies for dogs. I have a small fenced garden that dog/pet can use for toilet breaks. I can create a crate for your pet if needed. I work from home everyday, so i am available through out.I have a 13 years old active daughter who loves animals and would love to keep your pet busy after school.
About: I've been taking care of animals, from cats and dogs to bunnies and horses, my whole life. I love animals and have spent many hours looking after my pets, pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and regularly volunteer at local animal shelters. I am taking a term off university to help care for my Grandmother, so I am available throughout the week and weekend at any hour. Growing up with animals, especially dogs, has taught me how to read the body language and the behavior of animals. I am always on the lookout for what is best for the animal, including being hyper-aware of any dangers, being more or less active for what the dog needs, and ensuring that dogs are comfortable at all times.

We can’t thank Tim enough for stepping in at the last minute to look after our beloved cat, Poe! As first-time users of the app, we were a little nervous as we’ve always relied on friends and family for cat sitting. But the moment we met Tim, all our worries disappeared. He instantly put us at ease, and it was obvious that Poe was in the best hands. Throughout our trip, Tim sent us the sweetest updates along with lots of adorable photos, which made us smile every time. It was such a comfort knowing Poe was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We honestly can’t recommend Tim highly enough. There’s a reason he’s a star-sitter. Thanks again, Tim. Poe can’t wait for your next visit! ⭐🐱
Becca came to visit us prior to our booking and George and I were enjoyed her company. She allowed him time to come to her. While I was away she showed the same level of consideration for George and adapted to his needs and preferences, taking his food to him in the garden and ensuring he got his meds and supplements. She checked if I wanted updates, which I did and sent photos and brief comments at each visit. She answered any queries quickly and I felt reassured that George was ok and safe in her caring hands. I would highly recommend Becca to care for anyone's cat and will rebook her if and when I next go away.
Courtney was a pleasure to deal with and looked after Dylan extremely well. She responded to our request immediately and we were able to have a short in-person meeting before the sit to explain how to look after Dylan. It was a short drop-in visit while we were out for the evening and she arrived on-time and spent a full hour with Dylan, sending us a lovely note afterwards to update us. Would highly recommend.
Sian continues to be an excellent carer for Woodie, she is completely reliable, helps me out with short notice bookings. She is very observant of Woodies needs depending on his energy levels etc. Sian is a great communicator and gives me lovely detailed and amusing updates of his day! But most of all Woodie absolutely loved her!
Woodie had a lovely first walk with Georgia, & I had plenty of great photos to show me! I was very happy for Georgia to take Woodie out she is very experienced and qualified, and took the trouble to do an initial meet. Woodie was certainly suitable worn out when I got home!
Louise was equally as amazing with coming to feed our cats whilst we were away as well, regularly dropping in to check in on them and give them food. We felt very reassured and relaxed leaving them at home whilst we were away knowing they'd be in safe hands with Louise.
Heidilaine has looked after both of my pets while on holiday, respecting their routines, feeding, playing and walking with frequent updates and lovely photos and videos. She did great especially with my dog, a young Rottweiler with a lot of energy, handled him very well! Very grateful for her attentiveness. Highly recommended.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
