“Lori went above and beyond to make sure my girl was cared for and felt safe. She made time to help me out with Sky when my flight was canceled and I had to be gone sn extra day. She's beyond wonderful and I will absolutely hire her again!!”
“Emma was amazing with our dogs as we had a shorter notice trip out of town! We originally were only going to have her watch one of them, but after a change of plans she took on our second girl with no issues. She was great with communication and was always prompt with responses, and sent lots of photos each day along with how they were doing. She respected our home & left it as clean as when we left! One of our pups has a history with some medical issues so we were nervous to leave him with a sitter, but after this weekend we have no regrets and will continue to use Emma’s services in the future and we know she will keep our puppies happy and healthy!”
“5+ stars. Megan goes above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is well cared for. She is clean, considerate, and an all-around gem! We have found our go-to (& wish I could hide her away).”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate my clients’ needs. I update my availability regularly and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, walks, and any special routines. I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of our older German Shepherd. Our dog, who has bad hips, managed to fall into a window well. Brittany was able to get this large dog out of the window well despite the size of the dog and the fact that she hadn’t been with her very long. Bravo to her! We look forward to using Brittany again in the future.”
“Miranda was one of the best sitters I've had! She had perfect communication and my dogs were so happy when I got home! 10/10 recommend her! She is very sweet and took great care of Benji and Ellie!”
“Lauren is amazing!! She took great care of Maggie AND our home. We are so thankful we found Lauren! She provides great communication prior to staying and sends pictures while you’re away. She takes the time to learn about your dog and the best way to care for them!”
“Josie did a great job taking care of our dogs - We loved the pictures! They got a lot of playtime and love from Josie! :) Would definitely recommend Josie and her family for your pet care needs!! We will definitely use her again.”
“Justin is amazing! We came in from out of town and he helped us with relatively short notice. He’s genuinely one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever had. Our pup loved him.”
About: I offer a level of professional expertise that sets me apart from standard pet sitters: Veterinary Assistant Experience: Active clinical experience managing medical needs and safely administering all forms of medication. 4+ Years of Professional Daycare Care: Expert in canine body language, pack dynamics, and high-energy socialization. Lifetime Caregiver: Lifelong pet owner dedicated to treating your animal like family.From senior dogs requiring strict medical schedules to young, high-energy pups, your pet's safety and well-being are backed by professional, hands-on clinical experience. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because my mornings, evenings, and weekends are highly flexible. Right now, I work full-time but have completely open nights for house sitting and evening check-ins. When my college semester begins, my only busy window is from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays, leaving my mornings and afternoons completely free for your pets. On weekends, even when working, my schedule allows me ample time to drop in during the morning, mid-day, and night. Because your pet's routine is my priority, I easily plan my day around their specific feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their exact routine while providing hospital-grade safety and observation. For house sitting, I treat your home with total respect and keep your pet stress-free in their familiar environment. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on heavy engagement, proper leash handling, and structured enrichment. Because of my veterinary assistant training, my care includes a thorough daily health assessment: I double-check hydration, monitor appetite, track bathroom habits, and safely administer any required medications exactly on time. I also utilize low-stress handling techniques to ensure anxious or shy pets feel safe and comfortable with me.
“Lexi did a wonderful job taking care of my house and large crew! I have dogs and cats from 125lbs to 2lbs so there's quite a variety. She did great with everyone and was so sweet and respectful. She left the house in wonderful shape and even gave my dogs bandanas. I will absolutely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide lots of love for their pets. I’m experienced with different breeds and personalities, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away As a nursing student, my schedule can vary, but I always make time to care for pets. I’ll work with you to find times that fit your needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or boarding. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention whenever they’re with me I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for companionship. As a nursing student, responsibility and attentiveness are second nature to me. I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow any special instructions, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for
About: Professionalism and effective communication will set me apart from others on the site. Of course, I love dogs and cats, but I also enjoy people and take great pride in being dependable, someone you can trust. If you choose to work with me it will be a great experience for your K-9 and for you too! I will be available for boarding on weekends, and available early mornings and evenings, 7 days a week. Under special circumstances I may be able to expand my availability for boarding to weekdays, but only after building rapport for an agreeable period of time. Kindness and patience are the hallmarks of the care I will provide to the pets under my supervision. I am a loving father of three kids. I was a classroom teacher for 20 years. I grew up with pets. My respect and affection for animals is genuine. Most importantly, I do not think that I know better than you concerning the care of your beloved pet. My attention and the care I provide will align with your wishes and expectations.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter/dog walker, and I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ve taken care of various types of animals since I was little! Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, or calm in-home care while you’re away, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including strong pullers and shy or anxious pups. I currently work full time, but usually I have a day or two off during the week and most weekends off. I will be able to provide care for your pet before or after the days I work, or most days/weekends that I am off. My townhome community has small grassy backyard patio areas and a dog park less than 100 feet away from my home, and I have one 3 year old pup named Tank (white shepherd/lab mix) who would love to become best friends with your pup!

FAQs for House Sitting - Worthing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Worthing. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align 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 favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Worthing maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
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.
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.
