“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!”

“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: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. I understand that dogs are more than pets—they’re family. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to treating every dog in my care with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship during weekday evenings and on weekends. For overnight house-sitting stays, I can also provide morning care before heading to work, as well as evening care when I return. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will communicate clearly to ensure their needs are met while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has its own personality, preferences, and routines, and I take the time to get to know them. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and maintain your pet’s familiar routine. From feeding and walks to playtime and companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of a post-surgery senior dog several times, experienced in topical and oral medication administration, punctual, chill, empathic, kind especially to animals. I wake up everyday feeding/taking out my family’s dogs, help my Dad administer optical medicine for his blind dog, it’s part of my daily routine of cleaning and cooking for my family. Attentive to pets’ needs, dependable in following through client’s instructions, and an ethical approach in making sure the animals emotional, physical and mental needs are met.

“Katy was so wonderful with sending pictures and updates; Atlas looked like he had a blast with her. We appreciated her flexibility when our flight was delayed, staying until we got home to debrief her stay and to chat a little. She and our other Rover sitter had what sounds like a smooth handoff with Atlas, which made us feel great while we were away. We can't wait to book Katy again!”

We loveeee having Aiden watch our 4 dogs while we’re away. He’s constantly with them & sends pictures that show our dogs literally fight for his attention because they like Him so much. He’s very communicative & leaves our house in great shape Everytime. Absolutely will keep having him watch our dogs.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brighton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $80 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,760 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
