“Jordan is magical. She got my feral cat’s trust and was able to pet her (the kitty does not allow me to touch her)! Jordan provided such good care to my kitties and her daily reports were very sweet. Thank you Jordan!”

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, from energetic Huskies and Labs to smaller breeds like Havanese, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I'm experienced caring for multiple pets at once and am confident managing busy households. While babysitting, I've often cared for children and dogs together, which has taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and calm in any situation. I’ve helped care for my mom's Husky with two torn ACLs, giving me experience with pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and special attention. I'm comfortable administering medications, treating ear infections, and following detailed care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. I've also lived with cats throughout college, where my roommate had two cats, and I'm now the go-to pet sitter for both of my brothers' two-cat households. I'm just as comfortable caring for cats as I am with dogs. I'm an active person who does long walks everyday and I'd love to have a furry friend join me for walks and adventures. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I work remotely on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, when I'm in the office, I'm available for early morning and evening walks or visits. My weekends are wide open, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, overnight stays, and lots of quality time with your pets! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care instructions. During walks, I stay alert, keep dogs securely leashed, and avoid unsafe situations or extreme weather. At home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs.

“Nick was an amazing sitter for Aria! She’s very shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, but Nick was incredibly patient and consistent with her. He made an effort every day to help her come out of her shell rather than rushing her, which I really appreciated. He also sent daily updates that reassured me she was eating, being cared for, and that her litter was cleaned. This was my first time leaving Aria for more than 24 hours, and being away for 6 days was definitely a little stressful for me. Nick’s consistency and communication made the experience so much easier and gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’d absolutely trust Nick with Aria again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and dependable sitter!”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I am lucky to have cared for pets across their entire lives, from puppy/kitten to lovely senior pets. I am currently volunteering at a cat shelter in Boston and would love to bring that experience to your pets. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, but I absolutely adore caring for big dogs and shy cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter in Boston three days a week, but I am otherwise free all throughout weekdays to look after your pets! I am happy to do morning or midday visits to take special care of your pets. I think it is incredibly important that caring for pets does not disrupt their regular habits or schedule! It's so important to gain the trust of people's pets in order to properly care for them, and so I will do everything I can to make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable while I make sure their needs are met.

Louie did so well while I was gone, since he had Leah around to keep him company. Thank you, Leah!”

About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past three years, gaining experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a college student, I find myself missing my two dogs every day and I want to help owners with their pet needs, all while getting my animal fix. I understand how hard it can be for owners to be away from their pets and to trust new people with them. So, my goal is to put both you and your pets at ease in what can seem like a stressful time, and give them plenty of love while you’re gone! I’m a college student with time in my schedule most days to walk or visit with your pets. On weekends I can spend all day caring for your pets! When caring for pets in your home I follow all owner instructions exactly regarding feeding, activities, training, and interaction with other animals. I pay particular attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical activity.

About: I didn’t grow up with a pet (only fish) but I’ve played with and taken care of dogs and cats for friends/family for years. Currently on a career break and I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment so looking to fill some time playing with and walking dogs. Open to cats as well! I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk your pets (for dogs), feed them, take them out for potty breaks, play with them and anything else that make them feel safe and happy while their owners are away! I’m happy to keep your pets company however suitable for them so that they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’ll take time to get to know each of your pets and their routine, personality, needs, and make sure to follow your instructions.

Kylee sent updates and photos each day which gave me peace of mind that my kitty was all right. Kylee is also just a nice person and easy to communicate with. I'd definitely book her again and in fact I've already booked her again for another upcoming trip. I highly recommend her!”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. 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.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

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.
