“Mariah and Dani stayed at our house for a long stay and did an amazing job. We got pictures daily of our girls which we loved! They gave our special needs dog medication everyday which can be difficult, and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. Our house was so spotless and left nicer than when we went on vacation. They were kind enough to clean the sheets and towels which they didn’t need to do but we so appreciate it! We highly recommend these two as they really made us feel at ease being away from home. We would absolutely love to book them again!”
“Hannah was great with my Benny Boy! I was able to book her to stay with him on short notice and she sent adorable photos to ease my mind with his first “stranger” sitter. Definitely will book with Hannah again!”
“Aiden took fantastic care of our dogs! He was on time, very communicative, sent pictures, and our dogs loved him. We came home to happy dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving them with him, and we already have him booked again!”
“Megan was awesome! Our doodles are super crazy and needy and Megan had no problem with their level of nuttiness. It’s such a relief to be able to leave our babes in responsible caring hands 😊”
“Aro was absolutely fantastic with our babies while we were gone on vacation. They sent us updates all the time and were very good about following our instructions. They even transported our pups to daycare after the stay was over which was very much appreciated. I would recommend Aro to anyone in need of pet care and we will definitely be using them in the future.”
About: Personalized care, genuine passion, and enriching activities. I feel a genuine connection with all animals and care for them constantly like they are my own!! I love animals, back home I would get up early to take my dogs for walks and feed the cats, sometimes feed my horse early in the am! My family would breed dogs so I have a lot of experience dealing with puppies ! We also have 4 cats at home ! I will make sure to keep the home clean and how it was once I got there and make your pets feel comfortable as can be like their owner never left!
“Our pups were well taken care of with Andrea! There were some hiccups in understanding of the requested booking but Andrea was quick to communicate and was willing to address any issues before they arose.”
“Ellie is so sweet and my dog, Barbara, loved her so much! Barbara can be a bit shy at first but Ellen got on the ground and played with her slowly and calmly until she was comfortable during our meet and greet. Her communication, attention to detail, and love for Barbara was such a relief while away. Ill call Ellen anytime I need help with Barbara!”
“Jacqueline was great with my dog! She’s the first dog sitter I’ve left him with, and even took him out to a park. He’s been worn out on the floor since I returned a few hours ago, lol.”
“Lex took great care of our older dog and loved on him the whole time! She also takes such awesome care of our house. She makes it easy to leave for long periods of time without having to worry about home.”
“Aaliyah was fantastic! She stayed at our residence while we were on vacation. This was a last minute request from us on Rover. We were gone for 6 days. She took good care of our dogs. We asked her if she could stay until we got home Sunday, and without hesitation, she said yes. She left no messes in our home. We will definitely use her again.”
“Andrea did a fabulous job watching our dog! We didn’t want to put him in a kennel since he is anxious and not great around other dogs. She walked him, gave him his cuddles, and loved him like we do. If you want a reliable dog sitter, Andrea is the one for the job. She even sent pictures!”
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
“Jenny took great care of our large mixed breed dog! She sent updates with pictures and videos, and spent time playing with her. Jenny also kept our home nice and clean and is very friendly. Would book with her again!”
“Anna is exceptional. Anna is very easy to talk to and extremely professional in the way she handled anything that arose. She had such a long stay with our animals while we were away and was on top of communication, daily routines, etc. I cannot stress how much we appreciate and how good it feels to have someone we trust with our pets while we're away. She also did a great job with random tasks that needed to be taken care of around the house such as taking trash out, medicating fish tanks, etc. I'd recommend her over and over again to anybody who needs somebody to stay with their pets!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover with 1 year of hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, plus years of caring for my own 4 dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has already been a big part of my life for years. I currently work full time and have experience working at a dog daycare, along with caring for my own 4 dogs every day. My goal is to eventually make pet sitting my full-time career, so I’m dedicated to building strong relationships with both pets and owners while providing reliable, loving care I care for pets in their own home by keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment
“Janelle was just awesome. Frequent and consistent updates and our doggos were so well cared for. One of our pups is super old and had an injury and Janelle was great with her. House was left so neat and tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Our dogs were immediately comfortable with McKenna when they first met her. We had to take a last minute trip and she took great care of them! We can tell our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thank you!”
“My four legged furry babies love Sasha, so she must be doing something right! Sasha is easy to work with and very communicative. She is conscientious of our space, and tries to leave everything even better than when she arrived.”

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
