We are thrilled we found Alyssa! It's clear she puts a lot of care into pet sitting. She put us at ease while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of our cat, played with her and gave her food. She communicated the appropriate amount and even took care of our cat's throw up. We appreciated the daily reports and photos. We will definitely book her again. :)

Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾

About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.

Zilalai was a great sitter for our cat Moogle! She was prompt in her visits and sent photos/notes every day. She was also happy to arrange and meet and greet beforehand to let us and our cat get comfortable with her first. We came home after a week to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Zilalai!

About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat. I’m currently in grad school and intern a few days a week, however I am free for at least some period of time every day of the week! I’m available Monday and Friday evenings after 5pm, Tuesday and Thursday evenings after 6:30pm, Wednesdays all day until 5pm, and all day on both weekend days. In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.

Courtney is the best; she was so sweet with my 2 young cats! They can be nervous with strangers but they really warmed up to her, which is a testament to how gentle and patient she was. She followed instructions well, and kept us updated with meaningful report cards and lots of pictures. Would definitely book with her again! :)

Sydney is amazing!!! She has lots of experience working with dogs and it shows. Mine can be a bit rowdy at times but she had them sitting and calm within like a minute of being there! She’s super sweet and communicative as well. We would 100% use Sydney again. I had 0 concerns after meeting her and our experience was great!

About: Proud dog-owner for the past three years! Grew up in a house cosplaying as a petting zoo- cats, frogs, dogs, hamsters, you name it! Extremely flexible, willing to adapt, and excited to get to know your pets! Just a teacher trying to make enough money to have a career of not making enough money #fortheloveofthegame I currently teach full-time, so evenings and weekends provide the most availability. However, with summer around the corner, my availability will be expanding! After mid-May, I will have availability from 3:30 PM onwards. I currently live in an apartment in West Harlem with my 4-year old mutt. She warms up to most doggos, but an intro would be necessary! The apartment is near multiple parks, and I am located in a walkable area.

About: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.

About: You can rest easy with your animals in my care. I've spent years studying animal health, behavior, and nutrition, and I'm trained on basic animal first aid. I've petsit dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even crabs! I am flexible and communicative and willing to work. Please reach out - I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I currently have an open schedule with flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I start my day around 6am, so feel free to reach out for early-morning needs! I recently moved to the area and my apartment does not allow pets (except my guinea pigs, luckily!), so I currently only offer house visits. I will always respect your home, space, and pets. Let me know of any special accommodations or anything else in the house that might require my attention.

Nick took such good care of our cats (daily check-ins while we were away for a week), sending us detailed daily updates and photos and going above and beyond to check on questions we had while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and hides whenever someone new comes over, but Nick managed to find him even in his sneakiest hiding places and get pictures of him so we could see him. We highly recommend Nick and look forward to working with him in the future!

Shannon did a really wonderful job caring for her cat while we were on vacation. She was responsive, thoughtful, easy to work with, conscientious about taking care of the cat and other logistics, and also was kind enough to take out our recycling bin one day so we didn’t miss our biweekly pickup. She is one of our go to cat sitters and we would highly recommend her!

Stephanie was great. She left detailed messages and multiple photos daily which was very much appreciated. And took time with my shy and quirky cat Winston, making big effort to earn his trust. He's a long hair boy prone to matting, and she did an excellent job brushing him too. I would rebook without hesitation.

We’ve been really impressed with Liza. She was so communicative about what was going on with our cats. There was a little behavioral issue, which she brainstormed and came up with a great care plan to take care of. She’s very experienced and understood the psychology of what each pet needed. I’ll 100% have her return next time.

Marina was the best sitter for our sassy little cat Cookie! Cookie seemed to be having a better play time with Marina than us! Marina also left detailed notes, sent us lots of photos of Cookie, and made sure all the automated systems (litter, water, food) were running properly. Cookie doesn’t usually hop on other people’s laps but Marina managed to get Cookie on her lap the second visit - we were so surprised. Marina is indeed a car whisperer! Definitely recommend Marina as a cat sitter.

Alexa is an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of our 2 cats - coming morning and night to feed them, giving them lots of love, and make sure they were doing well while we were out of town for 5days. She absolutely went above and beyond, including searching the house for Daisy when she didn’t see her as usual one evening. Turned out Daisy had gotten locked in the attic after our cleaners came earlier that day, so we were very lucky Alexa was there and was so attentive and responsible. Thank you so much Alexa! We’d love to have you sit again for us in the future!

We had a great experience with Allison caring for my 7-year-old large longhair cat, who has pica (a plastic-eating habit) and needs medication twice a day. Since he gets stressed if left alone too long, we booked two one-hour visits a day, and Allison was reliable and attentive every time. She followed all instructions carefully, but most importantly, she genuinely cares about my cat. He was happy, purring, safe, and healthy thanks to her professionalism and responsibility. She sent me regular updates on his condition, medication, eating habits, and litter box use, along with lots of photos. I was very worried about leaving him, but knowing he was in good hands let me focus on my business and relax. It was such a positive, successful experience for both of us. I can actually tell he missed her — she must have spent a lot of time playing and talking with him!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Brighton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,036 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brighton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
