“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”
“I will be using Aiden again! Roxy was happy when we got home. House looked great. He kept our plants alive and our outside birds feed as well. He sent us some pictures too. He did a fabulous job!”
“Andrea was simply great during our house stay for our standard poodle puppy and chihuahua! We went over our puppies routine and where everything was in the house and felt so comfortable leaving our new puppy with her. She followed the routine and gave plenty of extra cuddles and love and play. Lots of pics. The dogs loved her and they were so calm and clearly content when I got home. To top it off, when I got caught up at work, she offered to check in on them after she had already left. Highly recommend”
“We came home to a very happy dog and a clean apartment. Ashley was great about sending pictures and texts daily and is a good communicator. We would love for her to petsit again for us.”
“I had an absolutely amazing experience with Janelle! She cared for my dog just as I would, sticking to his routines and treating him with so much kindness and love. Her detailed daily updates reassured me that he was in the best hands, and I had complete confidence that all his needs were being met. Knowing he was so well cared for gave me total peace of mind while I was traveling. On top of that, she left my home in perfect condition - if not better than when I left! I truly can’t say enough great things about Janelle, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future.”
“Megan stayed at our home to care for our two cats and bird, and she did an excellent job. She provided daily updates with photos, kept the house neat and tidy, and gave our pets plenty of attention. We especially appreciated how comfortable she was caring for our bird in addition to our cats. We will gladly book with her again for future trips.”
“Aro was wonderful with our pup! We got adorable pictures every day of their adventures, and I was able to truly relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were taking such wonderful care of our dog.”
“April was wonderful. She stayed with Oscar for 2 nights. We received pictures and regular updates. April put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry about Oscar. Thank you so much April! You will definitely be hearing from us again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Amanda take care of my two dogs, Cooper and Marlie, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her services. Amanda was incredibly efficient and took great care of my pets. She kept me updated with regular communications, which really put my mind at ease. Cooper and Marlie were happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Christina was great! She was punctual, communicative and ensured our girls were comfortable and safe throughout her stay. She gave periodic updates and asked questions as needed. We came home to happy girls! Thanks again, Christina”

“Amirah was a great sitter for our puppy Shilo! He was very bummed when she left! She was on time, played with Shilo while we were gone, gave him potty breaks and meals, and took great care of our little guy. We will definitely be asking Amirah to sit for Shilo again in the future.”

“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.”

Fabulous, fantastic, friendly - Ashley is wonderful and took such good care of my rowdy crowd of fellas! Daily photos and updates, always with a charming message about whatever antics she’d witnessed that day! I was worried that one of my dogs wouldn’t eat or while we were away, but he trusted her and didn’t waste away to nothing while we were gone. 🤣 Ashley is a busy woman, so if you can get her during available time, snap her up (but leave her alone when I need her, lol). Thank you Ashley!!!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
