“Hannah is awesome! We hadn't been able to utilize a pet sitter for several years so I was feeling nervous about everything. Hannah did a great job, followed all instructions/requests, communicated perfectly, and our house was super clean upon our return (which is a big deal... who wants to come home from vacation to a mess!!). We'll definitely use Hannah next time we go out of town and highly recommend her to all!”
“Aiden watched all 4 of our dogs in our home while we were away & did amazing. He was extremely communicative & responsive. It was evident that he actually loved our dogs! He kept our house just as clean as we left it and took amazing care of our pups! Absolutely will be using Aiden in the future.”
“Ava is amazing! Her communication was thorough, she followed feeding instructions perfectly and overall was just a truly fantastic sitter. We have already booked again with Ava and hope to keep using her ongoing as a regular sitter!”

“Corey was absolutely amazing while we were away on vacation! She took such great care of Brutus, our sweet old bulldog, and Pepper, our cat, and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. It was so clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well loved in her care. She kept the house tidy and organized, and we really appreciated all of the photo updates she sent throughout the trip. Seeing Brutus and Pepper relaxed and cared for made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Corey is reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring with animals. We came home to happy pets and a clean home, which says everything. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of them whether that was with my mom, dad, grandparents, friends etc. I have plenty of experience with all stages of life from being a puppy to senior dogs. I am also well versed in basic care like walking, grooming, feeding (including medicine), play, and training. At the moment I only work part time on Thursdays so typically I will only be unavailable late Wednesday and all day Thursdays. Other than that I am free to check in on animals or house sit on all other dates. At a clients home typically I would ask the basic routine of their pet, what is off limits for them, how often they would like updates, what to do in case of an emergency, and anything else I or they see fit before arriving. I want to make sure I can be a dependable caretaker for their pets, as well as a trustworthy and respectable guest in their house.
About: i have worked with dogs after surgery, as well as taking care of older dogs, i've had dogs since i was 21 and have had one ever since. I have also done parrot rescue for many years. I have cared for and rehabbed many kinds of hookbills, from cockatiels to African greys and all sizes in between, as well as canaries. I work from home, never leaving the house for more then a few hours here and there, i have dogs of my own so i am well versed in balancing my life around them I'm home during the day and can keep watch on your pet.I have a fairly large fenced in yard with grass to play in, as well as 2 other dogs your pet can play with inside or outside
“Anna took great care of our puppy at our home so we could attend a wedding. This was our first time using Rover and Anna was super sweet and offered to come early to make sure our little guy was comfortable. She sent us updates throughout the night and our puppy Keisel loved her. Would highly recommend! We will book Anna again! :)”
“Janelle is hands down the best sitter I’ve had! She completely erases any unease I have about leaving my dog when I have to travel. She communicates frequently and truly knows how to care for my best friend the same way I would. I will (and have) rebook with her again and again!”
“Sandy was amazing with our 2 fur babies and we are so grateful that she was able to help us for a last minute change in travel plans. She is prompt, professional and an exceptional communicator. We will definitely consider her for any upcoming dog sitting needs!!”

Aiden was great. From the second we met him during our “meet and greet,” he had great energy. During our trip, he sent tons of photos and replied ASAP when we reached out. He took care of our home and it was left just as clean as we left it. I will definitely reach out to Aiden again!
Grace stayed in our home for house and pet sitting and did an amazing job! She is always thoughtful with her updates and photos and helps with our requests as needed. She is quick to address an issue as it arises as well. Will definitely look at using her again for an in home stay!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,924 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brighton. 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 Brighton 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 Brighton 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 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!
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.
