About: Hi there! My wife and I both grew up in homes full of dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been second nature to us. Over the years, we’ve fostered pups and now have our own playful puppy, Brady, who loves making new friends! I work from home Monday through Friday, which means I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as daycare and overnight care. Whether you need a one-time drop-in or a regular schedule, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. We also have a large fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime, and Brady is always excited to welcome new buddies. Between my wife and me, your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Think of us as your pet’s second family—we’ll treat them like our own! I work from home during the week, which makes it easy to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, and cuddles fit seamlessly into my routine, and I love making them part of my daily schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced yard, supervised play, and plenty of attention from both me and my pup Brady.
“Sarah is amazing! We've booked her twice and both times have come home to a happy and healthy kitty. Our cat absolutely loves her, and we feel so secure knowing she is taking care of him while we are away.”

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: Hi there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My priority is always your pup’s comfort, safety, and routine. I’m confident managing different walking gear (standard harnesses, gentle leaders, and training collars), maintaining strict on-leash safety, and reading canine body language to keep outings calm and stress-free. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer who loves long sniff walks or a laid-back couch potato who just wants steady company and belly rubs, I tailor every day to their specific pace. You can always expect prompt communication, detailed visit notes, and plenty of photo updates so you know your best friend is having a great time! We keep very flexible daily routines, meaning someone is almost always around the house to keep your pup company, give belly rubs, and handle regular potty breaks. When we're out doing walks or drop-ins, our schedule is planned carefully so your dog gets timely care, fresh water, and never has to wait on meals. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. For boarding, our apartment is calm and completely pet-free—a great low-stress spot for dogs who like having all the human attention to themselves! On house sits and visits, we treat your home with total care and follow your pup's routine to the letter. Outside, we keep dogs securely on-leash at all times, give unfamiliar dogs plenty of space, and send lots of cute photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“As always, Pricilla did a great job! She made several visits to check on my cat while I was out of town. He is a needy cat and really needs attention and he was very happy when I came back!”
About: I started pet and house sitting about 4 years ago for one of my daycare clients and it has expanded from there. I have taken care of everything from toy golden retrievers to bully breeds, I don’t discriminate. I genuinely enjoy what I do and would love to take care of your pet. I’m currently out of work until mid October, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. When I am working, I only work 3 shifts a week. I also have three cats of my own Radar, Timothy and Luna who keep me on my toes with pet care as well. I have plenty of grass space in our complex for any pets to get their excercise. I also have a closed off balcony area so there can never be any accidents. I also have any chemical cleaners in my home locked and put away.
About: Hi! I'm Brooke, and I'm here to help you out with your four-legged friends :) As a full-time graduate student and part-time employee at a local café, my schedule is always changing—but I make time for what I love! I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have missed their company since moving to Boston for school. Most of my experience is limited to a long-term gig watching 3 rambunctious huskies, but I also have some experience taking care of dogs with severe anxiety and cats. I understand that these aren't just pets, they're family—I treat them with the utmost respect and care when I work with them. I'm currently a full time graduate student and part time worker, looking for the opportunity to earn some additional income in a flexible environment and cute company. I have experience visiting other homes to feed, let out, walk and play with dogs while their owners are off on holiday or other business, usually for 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time and multiple times a day. To a lesser extent, I've also done some short-term overnight care, for both dogs and cats.
About: I have dog and cat sat for the past 7 years for multiple different families in the Yarmouth Maine area. I have been in different situations that have tested my abilities as a pet sitter. Dogs and cats immediately warm up to me. I currently work a full time job for a Doctor in the Yarmouth area. I can walk dogs after work most of the time. We sometimes don’t work at the office on Fridays so I would be able to walk dogs during the day. I can do overnight care, however I would only be able to feed / walk in the morning and evening before and after work. I am more flexible on weekends. Whenever I am caring for dogs I will keep them on a leash when I walk them. I make sure to follow the clients rules for their pet (feeding, care, and walking routine).
“Amanda was wonderful with my kitty Steve! She was very communicative about when she was there, how he was doing, and what they did. Steve can be a bit of a butthead when it comes to new people but that did not matter and Amanda was great at accommodating him. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I grew up with two English Setters and cared for them from their puppy years through their senior stages, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve also dog-sat many times for friends and neighbors and have experience walking multiple dogs at once, safely and confidently. I truly love animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care treating every pet like my own! I work a 9 to 5, so anytime before 9 AM, during lunchtime, and anytime after 5 PM, I am available. Weekends I typically am available all day long! I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’ll always follow any instructions you have for walks, feeding, routines, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I also know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure they get plenty of attention and care!
“Aaron was fantastic! We had an initial zoom check in to make sure all parties are aligned. However, I hadn’t realized that Rover hadn’t updated my address and therefore, Aaron saw a different location as to my current one. Despite the new location being further away Aaron went in and made sure to keep the food and water bowls filled up. Unfortunately my cat didn’t come out the entire time he was there. But he still sent me pictures from her hiding spot under the bed. I am truly grateful for Aaron on following through despite location change.”

About: My name is Jane and I have always loved spending time with animals! I grew up with a cat, and have a high energy dog at home so I know how to handle when it comes to fast & fun walks! I currently work full time, but I love spending my weekends with dogs! I’m available Saturday and Sunday, with flexible times throughout the day. Please reach out with any questions! I enjoy spending time outside and making sure each pet is getting the exercise and time needed to feel healthy and happy during the day!
About: I am skilled in taking care of animals as young as 2 months to as old as 14 years. Skilled in administering medicine such as pills and asthma inhalers, and I am well versed in large breed care as well as cats. I also have experience taking care of non-mammal animals such as large breed snakes, lizards, parrots, chickens, and fish. I am currently a student in Boston studying art, so it is easy for me to leave the studio. I can stop by and walk or play with pups or kitties with ease as I have access to both public and personal transportation. I am an excellent rule-follower and I rarely leave anything up to interpretation. If your pet needs a specific diet or routine, I am able to follow through. Alternatively if your pet is shy and doesn’t like attention, no interaction will be forced with your pet unless specified.
About: I love caring for dogs and find myself craving more time with these special pets. I lost my dog a few years ago but I am not ready to adopt my own quite yet. I’m on Rover to care for others dogs as if they were my own I currently work hybrid 9-5. I’m free most Fridays-Mondays and I also have availability Tuesday-Thurs depending on the week. I have a pretty flexible schedule I have a fenced yard and a pet proof home. I live in a quirt neighborhood close by to a park so while walking and caring for the dog we will not be exposed to busy environments
“Katie is absolutely amazing. Not only did she do a great job caring for my kitty while I was away, she solved a very challenging logistical issue that came up with my house keys. She was persistent, professional, and flexible throughout the ordeal. We chatted by text and by phone until the problem was resolved, which was a HUGE relief for me. Katie is so sweet and really went above and beyond -- I can't recommend her highly enough!”

About: Hi! I’m Selina — a lifelong dog lover who knows just how special (and sometimes silly!) our furry companions can be. I cared for my sweet Maltese-Poodle, Bisou, for 13 amazing years. Fun fact: he only understood French 🤭 After he passed earlier this year, I realized how much joy caring for dogs brought me. Now, I’d love to pour that same love and attention into caring for your pup. What sets me apart? I genuinely treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your dog is a playful pup who needs a walk or play-date, or a senior sweetheart who moves a little slower and needs patience and meds, I’ve been there — and I care deeply. I'm also a great communicator and will keep you updated with pics, videos, and messages so you feel at ease the whole time. 🤗 If you're looking for someone gentle, responsible, and a little obsessed with making dogs feel safe and loved — I'm your person. Let’s make your pup feel like they’re right at home! 🐶💛 I currently have a super flexible schedule with lots of free time as I prepare for my PhD applications — which means your pup gets my full attention! I’m available for walks, playtime, cuddles, and anything else your furry friend needs throughout the day. I offer a range of services from house sitting, drop-ins to walks — all focused on keeping your pup happy and stress-free in their own familiar environment. I stick to their routine, give plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with cute photos and notes so you always know how they’re doing!
“Bonnie was very responsive and we really appreciated her great communication and photos. She was reliable and responsible and we would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Her service gave us such peace of mind while we were away.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. Growing up, I’ve owned and been trusted to watch a wide range of pets, but I love being around dogs of all ages! I’m currently a graduate student, with classes only taking up half of my week, so I have multiple days I can devote to pet care! Usually, Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays are my pet days. When entering your home, respect is my top priority. It’s a privilege to be let into your space, and I will respect your home and pet as if they were my own.
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life! I have also been a responsible and trustworthy petsitter for numerous families in the RI area. I have experience administering medication and caring for senior pets. I am happy to provide references as needed! I am currently working part-time, so have lots of time to give your pets some TLC! I am available every day in mornings and evenings. I get to know the pets and owners before starting visits to make sure I understand and follow all the owners preferences. While providing services I keep close communication.

“Alison treated our cat very well while we were away. She was able to give him his medicine with no issues and sent us lots of photos of them playing. Our cat can be a bit feisty, so it was great to see her manage him so well.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Elli was an absolutely great sitter for our Cocker Spaniel. She responded to our Last Minute Request very timely and allowed us to have an evening out of hotel without Winnie while traveling. She was early for Start Time and extremely flexible with our request to be a little late. Clearly she took great care of Winnie!! Very professional with communications. Would highly recommend Elli for taking care of your pet!!

Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was able to help me out with a last minute request, and I really appreciated that she took the time to meet with me beforehand so we could make sure everything was a good fit before officially booking. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so thankful I found Emily, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Tess looked after my puppy for me while I was at work this summer and I couldn’t think of a better person for the job! She was so communicative and detail oriented, took great notes on his eating and bathroom schedule. My roommates continuously commented on how sweet she was with him and how well he did with her! I couldn’t recommend her more!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brighton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per visit. 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 10,365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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. 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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
