“Alyssa is a dream catsitter and I will definitely book her again! She made sure that the cats were well-fed and clean, and she always played with them and gave them extra pets. Earl, Yo-Yo, and I all recommend her!”
“Zilalai was a great sitter for our cat Moogle! She was prompt in her visits and sent photos/notes every day. She was also happy to arrange and meet and greet beforehand to let us and our cat get comfortable with her first. We came home after a week to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Zilalai!”
About: You can rest easy with your animals in my care. I've spent years studying animal health, behavior, and nutrition, and I'm trained on basic animal first aid. I've petsit dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even crabs! I am flexible and communicative and willing to work. Please reach out - I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I currently have an open schedule with flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I start my day around 6am, so feel free to reach out for early-morning needs! I recently moved to the area and my apartment does not allow pets (except my guinea pigs, luckily!), so I currently only offer house visits. I will always respect your home, space, and pets. Let me know of any special accommodations or anything else in the house that might require my attention.
“Sydney was wonderful to work with. The cats took to her easily, she communicated well and accomplished everything we needed from her. Because of her care we were able to fully enjoy our trip. Thanks again!”
About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.
“Sabina went above and beyond! I’m happy to have a dedicated sitter to take care of my cat while traveling. I would highly recommend Sabina for all your pet care needs!”
“Lorena and Jahn were super communicative and organized! They were very reliable and they put me at ease with this being my first time using Rover. Especially with an anxious pup, stability and reliability are the most important for me and they had that.”
“Courtney has been so incredibly helpful to our family and kitten. While I have been at the hospital and unable to communicate, Courtney has taken the best care of Talia and gone above and beyond. She is the best!”
“Andy did a great job watching our cats while we were away. We got timely updates and he communicated very clearly with us. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I've been accustomed around pets my whole life. Currently I am an owner of two cats and two dogs, so I have good experience with both animals who are each very different in their own right. Very flexible and eager to see your pet! :) Currently I am a incoming MCPHS student studying to get my Doctorate in Pharmacy. I am mostly open later into the afternoons typically after the times of 2-3p.m. Every Tuesday I am not free as I have D&D. Raising my pet I always taught them to be smart, as in when my cat was a kitten I would always press on his paws, and now he can open up doors and containers. For my dog i've thought him to come to me and be able to signal for his wants and needs; however for pets that were not of my own I was vigilant with them. Checking and making sure they were constantly with me whenever I would shift my attention and focus elsewhere. I always follow the schedules that owners have for their own pets; as throwing that out of sync wouldn't just throw the pet, but also their owners schedule too. We all have scheduled times with our pets whether we realize it or not, my job will be to keep that norm when you might not be able to.
“11 out of 10, extraordinary cat sitter. Adapted to our two weirdo muppets’ needs, carefully followed feeding directions, took great care with one very shy, elderly cat and one very friendly young cat. Went above and beyond - took some really, really wonderful pictures too! Highly recommend. I’m an anxious pet owner and was totally reassured knowing she was checking in on them.”
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.
“Adelle was fantastic! She was so attentive and really made our cat feel like she was special. I also really appreciated the detail in the Rover cards and the pictures. I would recommend Adelle to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet.”
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”
“Hafeezat is always such a pleasure. She keeps me posted and her great pics of my Edgar always bring a smile to my face. She is always prompt and communicative. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Isabella was thoughtful and her care for animals is evident. She sent along plenty of pictures and detailed updates with each check-in, which helped put me at ease when I was away. She is reliable and communicates well. Anyone would be lucky to have Isabella watch their pet!
Aimee did a fantastic job at making me feel at ease with leaving my baby for a week. She sent plenty of pictures and made sure to include how Bubz was doing. Bubz eventually warmed up to her (as much as my cat can to a stranger 😂) which I'm very happy about. Will definitely book with Aimee again and hope she continues to use Rover.
Working with Hannah was fantastic! She took such thorough notes at our meet and greet — so I knew my kitty Clover was going to be in great hands. Her updates were charming & detailed, communication 10/10, and her photos on Clover’s Rover card were amazing! Will be booking again :)
We are thrilled we found Alyssa! It's clear she puts a lot of care into pet sitting. She put us at ease while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of our cat, played with her and gave her food. She communicated the appropriate amount and even took care of our cat's throw up. We appreciated the daily reports and photos. We will definitely book her again. :)
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!!
Nick took such good care of our cats (daily check-ins while we were away for a week), sending us detailed daily updates and photos and going above and beyond to check on questions we had while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and hides whenever someone new comes over, but Nick managed to find him even in his sneakiest hiding places and get pictures of him so we could see him. We highly recommend Nick and look forward to working with him in the future!
Shannon did a really wonderful job caring for her cat while we were on vacation. She was responsive, thoughtful, easy to work with, conscientious about taking care of the cat and other logistics, and also was kind enough to take out our recycling bin one day so we didn’t miss our biweekly pickup. She is one of our go to cat sitters and we would highly recommend her!
Stephanie was great. She left detailed messages and multiple photos daily which was very much appreciated. And took time with my shy and quirky cat Winston, making big effort to earn his trust. He's a long hair boy prone to matting, and she did an excellent job brushing him too. I would rebook without hesitation.
We’ve been really impressed with Liza. She was so communicative about what was going on with our cats. There was a little behavioral issue, which she brainstormed and came up with a great care plan to take care of. She’s very experienced and understood the psychology of what each pet needed. I’ll 100% have her return next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,904 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brighton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
