“Zilalai was absolutely wonderful with our old german shepherd! She sent tons of photos of their time together and I could tell my girl was having the time of her life with Zilalai. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much Zilalai!!!”
“Phia really came to our rescue and took amazing care of our 9-month old puppy! Barley looked so, so happy in all of the pictures Phia shared with us and he’s had a blast on walks and training with Phia! Best of all, Phia left a special memorabilia to welcome us back home (a hand drawing of our puppy)! Thank you so, so much for taking such thorough care for our puppy, Barley!”

“Hsiao-chia was quick to respond and accept my request which I appreciated since it was for the next day. She asked good questions and made me feel good about leaving my 3 pets in her care.”
“Ciana was great with my two French bulldogs. Very communicative and provided good updates. She also went above and beyond with my older dog - hand feeding him when he wouldn’t eat. Very respectful of my home. Would def book again!”
About: I grown up in a household that has always had dogs. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets since I was 12. I miss taking care of my parents dog, so I would love to take care of yours! I am active so I would love to take your pet on walks or play in the park. I have a fenced in yard and near plenty of parks, and am very aware of my surroundings inside and outside. I work remotely Wednesday through Friday and can schedule walks or sittings around my job. I am also available weekends at any time if day. Im Amanda, lover of all pets young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, even to a play day at the park. I have a pet friendly apartment and a yard. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy.
“Hannah was amazing! She showed so much care for my senior pup, who’s a very anxious puppers! Hannah sent pictures everyday and was responsive to messages quicker than expected. I will be booking Hannah again!”
“Sarah did an excellent job taking care of my dog and cat over a two night trip. They were clearly well cared for and my dog was super happy with all the walks! I highly recommend Sarah. She is prompt, professional and very kind with my pets.”
“Meghan did an excellent job pet sitting our dog and cat. They were well taken care of, she sent pictures of them regularly so we didn't worry and she left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!”
“Eveline did a great job housesitting while we were away for the weekend! Anika was very well taken care of, and the house was exactly how we left it. Great communication and great instincts with an older, slightly needier dog.”
“Rachael was wonderful! From taking our booking, to the tour, to sending calm updates and handling our crime-committing dogs with grace, we appreciated Rachael’s work! Also, there was no hesitation about giving meds and keeping an eye on our epileptic large dog.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!”
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.
“Kristina was wonderful with our bernadoodle puppy! She gave us a few updates throughout the night, followed all instructions we left regarding her bathroom routine etc and also sent amazing pictures! Will definitely book her again!”
“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”
“Cressida was amazing! Lovely to work with and did a terrific job looking after Molly and the house. This was the first time we left our new dog overnight and Cressida kept us up to date with how they were doing, asked questions when she needed things I had forgotten to mention, and it all went great.”

Elle is amazing! She has been taking our dog for lunchtime walks when we’re in the office for a few weeks and she recently also watched her over the weekend. Our dog is very anxious of streets and loud noises, and Elle has been so patient and kind with her to help ease her nerves. She understands dog body language very well, is attentive to detail, and always provides the best updates! When we were away for the weekend, we received updates each morning, afternoon, and evening (plus some other updates!) with lots of pictures and details of how the day was going. Elle is super sweet, respectful, sensitive, and an amazing/transparent communicator. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!
Sasha was so wonderful with our senior girl! Even though our pup was a little shy and anxious at the beginning of the stay, she quickly warmed up to Sasha, who was so sweet and patient with her. Sasha gave us tons of updates and photos and left the house in great shape! Highly recommended!
Ali did an excellent job house-sitting and caring for our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation. Our pup is reactive and we have fairly specific protocols for dealing with that, and Ali was able to handle those well. We got lots of cute videos and updates during the week. It seemed like our dog was very comfortable and happy around Ali. Overall doggo seems like herself and our apartment was well cared for. We’re grateful to Ali and would book again!
Rachael took care of our two dogs and a cat for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a more responsible, thoughtful and warm sitter. She kept is informed with lots of pics and funny notes. She even unpacked and rolled out a large rug that arrived before we returned. Above and beyond! We will enthusiastically ask for help again when we next need someone to stay in our home with the critters.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brighton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $100 per night. 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 6,533 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
