“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!”
“Meagan was a FANTASTIC sitter. She took meticulous notes of all the instructions and went above and beyond to make sure our kitties felt safe and loved. She was an amazing communicator and sent lots of pictures. We have two shy kitties so sometimes it's hit or miss with sitters, but Maegan took the time to make sure they felt comfortable, gave them lots of treats, and ended up winning both of them over.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and understand their personalities, comfort needs, and unique habits. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. My interest in pursuing dog behavior work helps me be more attentive and in tune with each dog’s emotions. Whether your pup enjoys active outings or relaxed snuggles, I create a safe, happy, and reassuring experience tailored to them. I'm currently working part-time and maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I am happy to coordinate my schedule around your pup's routine in order to be dependable and reliable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, I work on ensuring pets receive attentive care while visiting their own home. I like to carefully follow routines and provide updates after each visit. I'm located in Allston, close to local parks giving me easy access to great walking routes suited to both high-energy and relaxed dogs.
“I'm so glad I knew Nico was taking great care of my cat, Aby, while I was away! Nico really knows cats and gave Aby lots of playtime and brushies. I could tell Aby liked him too because she was rolling over to show her belly!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats big little and everything in between! I love going on walks, playing catch, and giving lots of pets and love. I have experience giving medications, and dealing with elderly pets as well as the little kitties and puppies! I currently work as an Afterschool teacher and PCA, and am busy 11-6 on weekdays for the school year. However, my mornings and late evenings are open. I am also free weekends! I am able to stay with your animals while you are away, or check in on them for walks or play time during the day. Whatever you need!
“Paige was so wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so thankful we booked with Paige. She sent us photo updates during check ins and took great care of our two cats. Thanks so much, Paige!”
“Lulu took amazing care of our cat and provided detailed updates after each visit along with pictures and videos while feeding, giving insulin injections, cleaning up after, and spending time with Callie. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“We’re so grateful to Allyson, especially since today we had a last minute thing come up and weren’t sure we’d find a reliable Rover in time. But she immediately responded and came through and had a nice walk with Clare!”
About: My family has always kept animals-horses, cats, dogs, and anyone else who needs a home. I love animals of all kinds and am a pet owner myself, so I understand the importance of providing quality care to your animal. I am a full-time graduate student with primarily evening classes, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pet(s)! I am available on the weekends for overnight stays and can be available during the week as well. Your pets safety and happiness always comes first. From providing care that suits your animals unique personality, to ensuring safety , I do everything I can to keep your pet happy and safe.
About: Hi there! I'm Hannah and I have loved animals since I was a little girl. I have 15+ years of experience staying in families' homes caring for their pets, as well as picking up/dropping off pets for walks. I'm familiar with leash handling, routines, and how important patience and consistency are for your pet. I would be delighted to care for your pet and will treat them as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I'm not afraid of "scary" dogs, so please, if you have a Pitbull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, or another misunderstood pal, I would be thrilled for the opportunity to spend time with them. I offer dog walking, daycare, and boarding (at your home or mine). Please reach out to me and let me know what you're looking for- I'm happy to help! As a working professional, I'm lucky to have free time before and after work. My workplace is a 10 minute walk from my home, and I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays. This enables me to build pet-care into my work routine, with options for walk and playtime before and after work, as well as walks midday. I'm fortunate to have this flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it’s for daycare or an overnight stay, I adapt my care to fit your dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, health, exercise, and dietary requirements are my top priorities—along with giving them plenty of affection, or space if they’re more reserved or shy. In my home, you’re welcome to provide a crate, favorite toys or bedding, food and treats, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. If there are specific rules or routines you’d like maintained, I’ll make sure to follow them so your dog experiences consistency and care.
About: I have many years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for cats and dogs, including older pets who need extra patience, companionship, and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping regular routines, and giving pets plenty of love and company while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and understand how important it is to leave everything clean, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable and happy and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and can plan my day around their needs and routines. When I’m caring for a pet, I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to spend extra time playing, giving cuddles, going for walks, or simply sitting with a cat or dog if that’s what makes them feel comfortable. I really enjoy having animals as part of my day. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. Safety, trust & environment How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer.
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 so my schedule is a bit weird, but I am always happy to work something out! I’m generally available for walks/drop ins Monday and Friday at 5pm, Tuesday after 6pm, Wednesday before 5:30pm, Thursday both between 11am and 1pm as well as after 6:30pm, and all day on the weekends. Please just message me and I’d be happy to find a time that works! 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.
About: I've had pets and have been an animal lover my whole life! Currently, I'm a grad student with some free time. I've had dogs, cats, and hamsters growing up, and have pet sit for friends and family in the past. I've also volunteered at a wildlife rehab facility, and at an AZA accredited animal care facility, so I hope you can trust I care about your animals and will treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I currently have the summer free and my schedule is very flexible. I work weekends at a bar, but this is flexible enough and I can usually drop in before my shift starts or after it's finished. I can provide feedings and waterings, playtime, enrichment, walks, clean-up, depending on what's needed! I can adjust depending on what your specific pet needs! If your pet is very fearful, I can respect their space while I work around them to care for them, or if they're very friendly can provide them some playtime! It's all about adjusting to individual pets and what makes them the most comfortable.
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.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Brighton is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
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!
Lorena & Jahn are wonderful with our pup Caddie! Caddie is a young, energetic puppy, and they were extremely helpful in keeping her happy and engaged during her 30-minute drop-in visits. They communicate very well, giving us updates at each drop-in visit with photos. We will definitely book with Lorena & Jahn again! Highly recommended
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!!
Amanda was punctual, communicative, and clear about what my dog Charlie was doing. Most important, she was sweet and kind to Charlie, giving her belly rubs and love. I appreciated her kind demeanor and how responsible she was in leaving everything the way I requested. I would request Amanda with enthusiasm next time I need someone to come walk and watch Charlie!
Ella was amazing to work with. She was super responsive and took excellent care of Blue. I loved how much feedback she gave in her rover cards. It was such a weight off my shoulders to know Blue was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely ask Ella to watch Blue again in the future.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brighton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
