About: I have a passion for animals of all kinds and love providing them with care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m a pet parent to two dogs, two guinea pigs, a crested gecko and a betta fish. So I understand that every pet has certain needs and personalities. I’ll care for them as if they are my own. Pet sitting is my job so I’m available anytime throughout the day or night for your pets needs. I would love to help out anyway I can. I have a vehicle ready for any emergency’s. Im more than happy to send updated photos! I’m not boarding but I will travel for your pets needs.
“Hannah did a great job taking care of our new puppy. She sent pictures every day and was responsive to questions I had throughout her stay. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and I was able to completely relax about it, knowing that Hannah was showing our puppy lots of care and attention. Would definitely book Hannah again.”

“We have used Ashley now numerous times. She has always been responsive, sends pictures and keeps us up to date. Penny, our dog, always seems content when we return. Our place is always as we left it. We appreciate having someone dependable we can count on for our dog. It is a huge relief knowing Penny is happy while we are gone. Thank you, Ashley!”
“This was our first time leaving Macy, and she's almost 8! Needless to say, we were a little nervous for both Macy and Jenny. The whole experience was wonderful! Jenny took great care of our girl. We got reports and photos twice a day. Macy was smiling in every picture! She got to go on walks to the park, slept all night with Jenny and I'm sure she got lots of love and plenty of treats. We can't recommend Jenny highly enough!!! We will definitely call her when we go out of town again! Thank you so much, Jenny! Mark & Nancy”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
José took excellent care of our two dogs and home while we were away for the weekend. We appreciated the proactive communication and photos of their adventures. Our home was left in pristine condition and the dogs were very relaxed when we returned. José has cared for our dogs as though they were his own, and we always feel we can enjoy our time away as we know the dogs and our home are in great hands.
Daniela was an excellent dogsitter! She took great care of our pup, our house, and our plants! She was super communicative, sending pics and updates daily and letting us know right away if anything wasn't going on with our house or our dog. We would happily have her dogsit 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 $53.39 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,876 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.
