About: I’ve taken care of Dogs and Cats since I was about 12 years old. My family, neighbors and friends rely on me to watch their pets and I can confidently say I’ve done a great job every time! I am currently a college student so my schedule revolves around my school schedule. However, I don't have a problem fitting in clients where needed. Just ask me and I can adjust! I want all of my clients to feel comfortable with the way I treat their pet. I would like to hear what is preferred in sitting and go from there. Safety wise I am always making sure that the pet I am watching is within eye site and trusts me to keep them safe. If not, I will work around this and continue to build trust while I sit them!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to two cats of my own! Cats have always felt like my spirit animals, but I truly love connecting with all kinds of animals. Growing up, I had dogs as well as a bearded dragon, rats, a dwarf hamster, and fish, so I’ve always enjoyed the unique personalities and needs that come with caring for different animals. My approach to pet care is gentle, patient, and very respectful of an animal’s boundaries. I believe pets deserve to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I take the time to let them warm up to me rather than forcing interaction. I love getting to know each animal’s individual personality, routines, quirks, and preferences. As a cat mom, I also have hands-on experience with more involved care. I’ve administered oral medications to my cats and have cared for a cat through surgery recovery, including closely following care instructions and keeping a watchful eye for changes in behavior or wellbeing. I’m comfortable being attentive to details and sticking to established routines. I’m currently a graduate student studying to become a couples and family therapist, and I think my schooling has made me especially observant, patient, and attuned to nonverbal communication; which definitely comes in handy with animals! Whether your pet wants a playmate, a calm companion, or simply someone reliable to keep their routine while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own. ≽^•⩊•^≼ I’m currently a graduate student, so my schedule has some built in flexibility. I have classes Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, and occasionally on Friday evening and Saturday. Outside of those times, I am generally flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I can also do evening drop ins on my class days when needed! Safety and trust are really important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I want pets to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, so I take a calm and respectful approach and let them set the pace when getting to know me. I follow each pet’s routines and care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific preferences or boundaries they have. I am also very respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them as I would my own. I make sure doors are securely closed, keep their space clean and tidy, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with their pet or environment. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet and your home are in thoughtful, reliable hands while you’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and birds. My grandmother bred Chihuahua's and I've always been fascinated with large dogs. I am currently the human counterpart of a Husky-Doberman mix and a Demestic Long hair cat that was found on a coworker's porch. Ive helped my mom train her Belgian malinois, pitbull, and mastiff over the past decade. She currently has two German shepherds that she occasionally asks for advice about. I have worked professionally in a vet clinic as an assistant and volunteered with a dog rescue of up to 60 dogs (and babysat them all for a week!) My favorite age is under six months so I specialize in puppies both for training and care but I have experience at all ages. My pair and I live with one other kitty that I took from a truck yard at my day job.. I work full time at Amazon as an area manager and I'm looking to supplement my time with plenty of pets! I love animals and I love when I get to spend my free time hanging out with a furry friend. In the client home care is all dictated by the client! I am adaptable and friendly. I think quickly on my feet but I like to have a solid set of rules to be able to make my clients (pets and family) feel as at home in their own homes as possible. I understand that my rules aren't my own but instead what the home leader prefers. I like to discuss this based on each job and cover exactly what the human counterpart expects of me prior to the job. (But it usually always includes lots of pictures so you don't miss a thing!)
“Very attentive and great at what she does. Ellen is truly passionate about taking care of animals and even came a half hour early to check on our doggo! Very sweet and amazing gal and would recommend to anyone needing care.”
“Sarah was perfect! She spent a lot of time each visit with Dave our cat which was the most important part of her visit in our opinion. She was 100% competent and took care of everything! We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
About: I have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes to care for their pets, including senior and sick dogs who need extra love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy! I’m also happy to host pets in my own home, which is cozy and has a nice backyard for play and fresh air. I’m friendly, reliable, and treat every pet like my own💕💕🐶🐱 I currently am a senior in highschool who's unemployed so that means I have a lot of time! I'm almost always available and there when needed. I have a big fenced yard and do not have any other pets, so no need to worry about conflict with other animals! I treat every home and pet with care and respect and will make sure I keep you updated by sending you update pictures!
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other pets for over 10 years. We had both dogs and cats as pets growing up. We currently own two Maine Coon mix cats. Loki and Draco are just under a year old, I am a busy parent and cat parent! I love bonding with pets of any kind, the love received is pure and reciprocated. My availability is (mostly) open, my daughter loves to frequent my pet sittings! Please let me know your pet needs for children being around 🙂 I have energy to keep up with your pets play/love/potty break/walking needs. Your fur babies will get the time, love, and responsibility they need. I will do my best to keep you updated and send pics of your pet when I can!
About: I grew up with pitbulls all my life. If your dog needs to be in a lap on the couch, I can make that happen. Daily walks by a lake is a must. I have 3 dogs. My dogs do not travel with me. If you need your house to be watched with your pets my animals will not be with me at all. I stay at home so your dog will never be locked up in a cage. Dog walks daily. If your dog needs a ride to get a pup cup I can make this happen. I have a fenced in yard. It's a half fence. I work from home. I live next to open space and a lake. Daily walks to the lake will happen. If you have a lazy dog they can be a couch potato too.

“Amy was incredibly sweet and took great care of my cat. My cat ran right up to Amy when they first met and immediately loved her. She followed all the instructions perfectly!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole and a true love for all kinds of animals. I am a very active pet owner that wants to help other pet parents when they need someone experienced and trustworthy to watch over their furry friends. As a fellow dog mom, I understand some pets require more special care or routines and I am also happy to help out with that if needed. I have experience helping all ages of pets and some experience with special care elderly or post-surgery dogs I have a very flexible schedule as a youth sport coach. I’m home most of the day with the exception of 2-3 hours for training 2-3 times a week I live in a house a fenced yard with my own dog ( Zoey, 8). We are a super active duo that are currently on a 3 walks a day schedule and would love the company! My dog is like my kid and I would treat your dog with the same love and care that I do my own
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 16. I’ve taken care of elderly pets as well as puppies and kittens. Sick and healthy pets as well. I’d love to help bring you peace of mind when it comes to care for your baby. I am currently a hairstylist at Sportsclips, with tons of free time. I have a car and can travel to take care of your pets. I promise to take care of your pets as if they were my own. Although I may spoil them if we are being honest (I’m a sucker for puppy eyes).
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.
About: We are a dog loving family! We have a 2 year old Pit bull so we are always playing/walking/training and loving her! She loves other dogs and is always so gentle and sweet. We also have a 6 year old daughter who wants to snuggle and join the fun. Best fit would be any size dog that likes other dogs and kids! We would love to love on your fur baby while you’re away. Happy to offer pics/day overviews and can help with any special needs for fuzzy baby!! I am up early and walking the pup to take my daughter to school. She eats a hearty breakfast as we are getting ready and can go in the back to relive her self right when we wake. Mid day walk/ treats and games to keep her brain thinking. Constantly training and working with her on tricks and learning different behaviors. We walk her again before bed and she snuggles on the bed with us for bed time. Our puppy is our baby and sister to our daughter! She is such a lover and such a light to our life! We make sure that she has all the love and care she deserves. <3

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Grace went truly above and beyond while caring for my dogs during our vacation. I’m always anxious about leaving them—especially my border collie mix, who can sometimes come off as a little off-putting to people who don’t take the time to understand her. Grace immediately saw the loving, sweet parts of her personality, which meant more to me than I can put into words. Her communication was outstanding throughout our time away. The consistent updates, pictures, and videos of my dogs living their best lives gave me so much peace of mind and actually allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation—something I don’t usually get when I’m away from them. When we got home, of course the dogs were excited to see us, but what really stood out was their energy and overall demeanor. Normally after we travel, they’re a little subdued or depressed, but this time all three were happy, energetic, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Grace made sure each dog received individual attention, love, and engagement. I can’t recommend Grace enough. She doesn’t just watch your pets—she truly cares for them, understands them, and treats them like her own. 💛

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Brighton 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
