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: Hi! My name is Nora and I'm a caring, dependable animal lover who would love to become your pet's new favorite person! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with a focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. PET PHOTOGRAPHY BONUS: I'm also a pet photographer, and I offer professional pet photography as an additional service for owners who are interested, because pets deserve to be on the holiday card too! This can be done easily in your home or on their daily walk route, easily added on to the sitting visit! Whether your pup needs a fun afternoon walk, some company while you're at work, or just a little extra attention throughout the day, I'd love to help. I grew up taking care of dogs including my own, so I understand that pets are family, and finding someone you trust is so important! I am a medical assistant in the area and am looking for part-time and weekend opportunities outside of my job to take care of your pets! I was a part of the dog walking club at Tufts and it was so fun and therapeutic for me. I am happy to help with whatever your pet needs! Whether that is a walk, cuddle, game of fetch, I am happy to spend time with your furry friend. I will also provide many photos so you are kept in the loop!
“Silvia was great! Stowe has recently gotten neutered, and she was able help provide extra support throughout the day. She sent multiple pictures and updates at each of her check ins.”

About: About Me: I am a dog parent myself, with a 25lb Terrier mix named Lemonade who my husband and I rescued from a shelter in Texas about 6 years ago. Lemon is my best friend and little shadow. I am usually anxious to leave her in the care of others, so I deeply empathize with other owners who just want their pet to be safe, loved, and cared for responsibly. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have a particular fondness for small breeds, but I truly love them all! I have done overnight stays with dogs ranging from 5-45 lbs (Toy Poodles, Doodles, small Terrier breeds, pitty mixes to name a few) but also have walking experience with medium/large sized dogs such as Standard Poodles, Portuguese Water Dogs, Golden Retrievers and Lab/Boxer mixes. A fun fact about me is that I am passionate about ALL animals, and one day I hope to have a small hobby farm with chickens, ducks, and goats. I would also like to adopt a cat in the near future. I am comfortable handling all types of animals from cats and dogs to rodents, rabbits, reptiles and birds. Additional Skills/ Experience: - Administering meds- oral, eye/ear drops, injections (ex: insulin). I require an in-person meet and greet to go over instructions if you need help in this department - Walking tools: Harnesses, Martingale collars, and Herm Sprenger (prong) training collar experience - Grooming: If your dog enjoys pampering or has a coat that requires brushing, it is one of my favorite activities! I brush my dog daily and it has become a relaxing routine and bonding experience for both of us. I have extensive personal experience with curly coats that require regular maintenance and brushing (Poodles, PWDs) - Puppies/ routine training: I would be glad to learn the commands you are teaching/ implement them during walks/ drop-ins/ overnights to help you continue your training regimen while away/ at work. - Seniors: I have experience with (sometimes grumpy) seniors up to 16 years old, and therefore I am not new to doggy diapers, incontinence issues, med administration, and even blindness and loss of hearing. I approach older pets with patience, gentleness and respect for boundaries! I’d love to hear from you if you have any questions. Treating your pet like my own is always my top priority! ❤️ - Walks: Availanle on weekdays only - Drop-ins & Over-night stays: weekends & weekdays based on availability. Holidays book far in advance and have a special rate I lead with respect and compassion for all animals and pet owners, and I will abide by any specific instructions you’d like to provide. As an anxious pet owner myself, I want the best for your pet and I strive to make everyone involved comfortable, providing updates and photos throughout my service. Overnight stays require Meet & Greet appointment- either by booking through rover or booking a 30 min drop in or walk as a trial run.
“Abby was great with communication and flexibility. She kept our kitty very happy and everything was in order when we got home. I would definitely ask for her help again in the future.”

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’ve loved and taken care of dogs my entire life and have devoted so much time and energy to learning about what’s best for them. I treat all dogs like my own and love them more then people!! Anyone who knows me will attest that having me take care of your dog will ensure the same level of love and care you give them. I’m currently in school, part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pup. At school, there’s a large outdoor grassy courtyard, all fenced in, with balls to play and run around and a nice heated and A/C area where I will have a bed for them to relax on, right next to me. I live in an apartment, I have availability Tuesday/ Thursday all day, Friday Mornings and Saturday/Sunday basically all day to check in, walk and play with your pup, and make sure to give you updates with photos every time, unless you request otherwise. I volunteer at the MSPCA, animal shelter, 1 to 2 times a week. Trusting your dog with another individual is hard and that is why I want to ensure that you know the care and safety of your pet is my top priority. I will treat your dog as my own and ensure that they’re getting the best of care and will give my full attention and energy towards your pet during our time together. I will offer plenty of enrichment, playtime, cuddling/affection, training and whatever else your dog may need. I take great care to be aware of your dogs body language as well as other dogs to ensure your dog is safe and comfortable in my care. I will adhere to any rules you have with your pets strictly. I will be sure to tell you all about our visits and will be sure to communicate with you, if something were to happen. I will take lots of photos and videos of your pet and be sure to update you throughout our time so you can always know what we are up to!!
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!
“Taryn is extremely reliable. She has taken care of our two cats over five times and is very communicative and caring. She always spends extra time checking in on them and has always been able to accommodate us with last minute requests.”

“New to all this and trust is hard to give to someone to walk into your home. Fiona was very responsive and friendly. We did a meet and greet with my dog before she came by herself. My dog loved her and I knew Fiona was the one I could trust with my dog from my dogs reaction with her. I look forward to using Fionas service again when I need help with my dog for a drop in visit. Highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have taken care of dogs outside of my own for about 14 years. I found a passion of taking dogs out of big company kennels and bringing them into a warm and loving space! I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I am able to show the love and care that your pups deserve! Whether we are spending time playing or cuddling, your pup will be shown attention! I am located in a quiet area where there are many parts and quiet neighborhoods with sidewalks. I’m also in a space that is spacious giving your pup enough room to roam free and feel comfortable!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet I meet—because I truly treat them like family. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy learning the ropes or a senior pet needing a gentler touch, I adjust my care to meet their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical needs or anxiety. I’m confident giving medications, reinforcing basic training, and creating a calm, comforting environment for your pet—whether it’s during a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. You can expect consistent communication, lots of photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be flexible in the care I provide for fur babies. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that feels like a second home. I stick to their regular routines as much as possible—feeding times, walk schedules, crate or nap habits—so they feel secure. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, and cuddle time, and I never leave pets unsupervised for long periods.
About: I grew up with dogs, and have watched family members dogs countless times. I love working with dogs. I currently am working to training my own dog in some basic agility activities. And I would love to help burn off some of your pups energy. I work a full time job. But am typically home by 3pm. I would be available most weekdays, and with advance notice weekends work great for me. Whatever your dogs needs are I can do my best to accommodate. I am skilled with anxious dogs as well as dogs that are reactive towards other dogs.
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

“Kristine was great to work with! She took excellent care of my cat while I was traveling and was very responsive. Sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop each day. Would definitely recommend Kristine and would rebook with her!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong, hands on experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve owned pets my entire life, including those that were fully house trained as well as those that needed more attention and patience. In addition to caring for my own animals, I’ve dogsat for friends and family over the years, which has given me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and routines. I'm comfortable handling pets with different energy levels and needs, whether it’s giving extra attention to a senior pet or helping keep a young pup on track. My approach is always calm, consistent, and caring; treating every pet as if they were my own. I work full, but that does not stop me from caring for animals. I have taken care of various pets while being a full time student. My week nights and weekends are always open to be fully involved with your pet! I always have a watchful eye, having years in experience as a camp counselor and having to make sure young ones stay safe. I also am patient with animals and understand for both of us to be safe, we must be respectful to each other.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brighton is $22 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 10,352 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 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 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.
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.
To find sitters in Brighton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brighton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
