“Wonderful, trustworthy sitter! She stayed in my apartment with my dog Milo for a weekend and everything went great! I appreciated all of the picture updates which gave me peace of mind. She also left my space very neat when she left. I know my fur baby was well taken care of. I will absolutely rebook!”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”
“Anna was great with Lucy! She was very communicative and flexible. When our flight was canceled she stayed an extra night to watch Lucy. We will definitely be using her as a dog sitter in the future!!”
“We were leaving our puppy alone with someone for the first time since we got him, and Anastasia made us feel good and confident about that! She was thoughtful, accommodating and loving towards my dog, and I appreciated her communication with me throughout the day!”
“Maddie provided a safe loving environment for my little dog, Lucia! She also went beyond just taking care of her by sending me daily updates & photos- which made me very happy since this was the longest I'd ever been away from her. Maddie also helped out with moving cars due to some ongoing street work requiring them to be moved while I was away. Highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Isaac and Dana took such great care of my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. They sent me great pictures and thoughtful updates, and I never had to doubt that they were in good hands. Thank you!”
“Kaitlin was such an incredible dog sitter! She met him for a meet and greet in advance of her house sitting and he took to her very well. She was so courteous and respectful of our home and really went above and beyond to clean up after herself. She sent me frequent updates and photos and was always easy to reach. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s the best sitter we’ve found on Rover!”
“Elizabeth was so great & easy to work with when we booked her a little last minute to watch our dog. She was super responsive, flexible, and took great care of our Winnie!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was blessed to have grown up with a Golden Retriever, Hugo, and a Shih Tzu, Lilla. Both of those dogs were my best friends and I made so many memories with them. My love for animals allows me to offer personalized, attentive care with a focus on safety, companionship, and fun. I have experience working with small and medium dogs and am very reliable/communicative. Before each appointment, I always make sure to check in with each owner to find out more information about what the dog's specific routine and schedule is like. I am also very compassionate about animals and treat each client like they are my own pet. Lastly, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate any last minute changes. I am very fortunate to work remotely full time so my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the day to go on walks and give the pups all of the love and attention they deserve. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood that is surrounded by parks and green space. I also live on the third floor of a three family home that has an outdoor yard. Your dog will be very safe and well taken care of in my home.
“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”
“Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!”
“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”
“Katherine took care of our pup in our home for two nights. She was very responsive, sent us frequent updates and photos, and overall took great care of Daisy. She was very patient with Daisy, who can be fearful of strangers, and she warmed up to Katherine in no time. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Katherine for anyone who is looking for an in-home sitter.”
“Itzli was amazing with housesitting our 7 month old lab puppy, she gave the perfect level of updates, and took great care of him. He had so much fun fetching and walking with her throughout the weekend!”
“Nina is a true 5 star sitter! Helped us out with a last minute booking, arrived early, asked all the right questions regarding Bella's care, and went above and beyone taking care of her. Strongly recommend!”
“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”

Haley has been a great sitter for over a year now. We always hope haley is available to watch our nervous dog. Haley is patient, understands the specific needs of our dog, and communicates often and professionally. Highly recommend haley for anyone looking for a pet sitter!
This was the first time leaving my new kitty with a sitter while I was away. I was of course a bit anxious to leave her with a stranger, but Helena quelled all of my anxiety the minute we met. She was WONDERFUL with my little nugget. Not only did she take excellent care of her, but she also sent frequent updates accompanied by multiple photos the whole time I was gone. She also offered to pick up a few things that I didn't get to before I left, which was extremely helpful to me. I greatly appreciated everything she did and it made me feel so much better about being away despite really missing my girl. I would HIGHLY recommend Helena to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely hire her again. Thanks Helena!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Kayla! She took incredible care of our pets, Winston and Brady, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Brady has a few health needs, and Kayla handled everything with such attentiveness and care—it truly meant the world to us. Winston absolutely adored her as well, and it was clear they were both comfortable, happy, and so well loved. We came home to two very content pets and a home that was just as we left it. Kayla kept us updated, was incredibly thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond in every way. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend Kayla highly enough!
Heaven was an exceptional house guest and went above and beyond to care for our dog while we were out of town! She was responsive and took extra time to learn our dog’s routine’s, commands, and strategies for his reactivity to other dogs. She also helped with several household tasks like accepting packages and even moved our car for street cleaning! Our apartment was spotless when we came home and our dog was well taken care of. We had a wonderful experience with Heaven and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a detail-oriented and loving person to care for their pet!
Britney was amazing. She saved us at the last minute when our dog sitting plans fell through right before a 9 day trip. She stayed at our home, took Simba on multiple daily walks, and gave him lots of love. She was highly communicative and responsive to all of my many inquires about Simba. Britney went above and beyond, watering our gardens, washing sheets, and making beds. She left our house in pristine condition and most importantly, kept Simba happy and loved during our time away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, and I recommend her highly!
Nicole did a fabulous job with my animals (dog and cat) and left the home in a great state. She was able to arrange a quick meet n greet when my first sitter fell through at the last minute. She also was great with giving my dog some medication. Would definitely book again.
We had a great experience with Liana! She was very communicative from start to finish and took wonderful care of our dachshund puppy, Louie. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, especially since we don’t leave him often. It was clear Louie was well cared for, got plenty of attention, and was comfortable with her. Liana was also very respectful of our home and left everything exactly as we had left it. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Julie is an incredible sitter - our favorite Rover experience we've ever had! She house/dog sat for us for 4 days and provided very frequent and descriptive feedback each visit and took such fantastic care of our pups. She went above and beyond in helping us deal with a traumatic incident that occurred prior to the sitting. She also had to clean up a poop explosion (sorry!!) and then provided poop reviews for the rest of her stay, something I very much appreciated as a worrier dog mom. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Also her photos were wonderful. Thank you a million Julie, we will be in touch again soon!
My cat loves Cassidy! My cat is usually very shy, and Cassidy was able to get her out of her shell without pushing her boundaries. This was my first time leaving her alone and I was so relieved to get consistent updates and photos knowing my girl was having a fun time at home! I will absolutely be hiring Cassidy again to take care of my babies!
Julia was an amazing sitter for Clancy. Since Clancy is a puppy, Julia was very attentive to ensuring he stayed on his schedule and did not get away with bad behavior. It was very clear she had extensive experience taking care of and training dogs. Highly recommend Julia if you are ever looking for a sitter.
We've had Natalia walking our doggo Maxie for 1.5 years now, and we are very happy our precious boy has her love and attentive care. She has watched him in our house twice so far when we've been away, and it's great to not have to worry about leaving him behind because we are so confident in her. She also takes care of packages etc. and is generally a thoughtful and responsible person. I couldn't recommend her more!
Wonderful, trustworthy sitter! She stayed in my apartment with my dog Milo for a weekend and everything went great! I appreciated all of the picture updates which gave me peace of mind. She also left my space very neat when she left. I know my fur baby was well taken care of. I will absolutely rebook!
J spent time learning about each cat before staying overnight with them. In addition to our very social cat Squeaky, she connected with our shy cats on her first visit. J also gave our senior cat Marmalade two medications. I highly recommend for overnight pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,684 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brighton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brighton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
