About: I have had dogs all my life. Will provide your pets with the best care imaginable!! Long walks and lots of loving will be given. Avid runner. Have an overactive dog? I will pick him up at your house and take him for a run! Fri-Sunday I am available. I am also available for weekday walks in the late afternoon. Also during the week depending on my work schedule. Trustworthy! My yard is unfenced, so I would leash your dogs at my home. Long walks will be given everyday. Live behind Brighton Rec for walks.
About: I have grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I love animals with all my heart. I have so much experience with taking care of dogs and cats while i also have some of my own! I am currently working two days out of the week so i have PLENTY of time to spend with your pets! I am always looking forward to meeting new friends. At my home i have fenced in yard for my two pups to run around. And i have past experience with putting dogs in kennels when needed.
About: I have always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!
“Kara was amazing to work with and took such fantastic care of my 2 kitties while I was out of town! It was clear they were well cared for and she attended to every detail! Communication was also very good!”
About: At the age of 14, I started dog sitting for my neighbors’ dogs, and it didn’t take long for me to realize how much I enjoyed it. What began as a simple favor quickly turned into a passion. Over the years, I’ve grown more dedicated to caring for animals, and it has become something truly meaningful in my life. I love what I do and take pride in providing care, attention, and love to all animals, no matter their size, breed, or personality. It’s more than just a job for me—it’s a genuine passion and commitment to the well-being of every pet I care for. Schedule: I’m available Sunday through Saturday with a highly flexible schedule. I have a side job downtown Brighton, but it allows me to accommodate pet sitting needs with ease. Whether it’s popping in for a quick visit, taking your pet for a walk, or providing overnight care, I can adjust to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs. As a pet sitter it is a bit easier for me to know a few days in advance or any type of trip just weeks in advance! Throughout my experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I’ve spent countless hours in clients’ homes, bonding with their animals in their familiar environment, which helps build trust and comfort. Over time, I’ve not only earned the trust of the pets but also their owners. My number one priority is ensuring that my clients feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. To achieve this, I always offer a meet-and-greet before any pet-sitting arrangement. This allows me to get to know the pets, their routines, and the owners’ expectations, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
“Ashlie & Andrew did a wonderful job caring for our four cats. They sent detailed updates with numerous photos each visit which we greatly appreciated. We were quite impressed with them from the beginning, as they arrived at our house to meet the cats already knowing each of the cats by name, showing that they pay good attention to detail. We highly recommend this pet sitting team ?!!”
About: I grew up with a black lab and loved her so much. She had 10 puppies and I wanted to keep them all, but my parents wouldn't allow it. I knew I was going to have many animals when I got older. I have a 6 year d lab mix and a 2 year old blue Heeler. My life now revolves around them, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm obsessed with my furbabies and will treat yours like my own! :) I will play with them and take them on walks and anything else you need! I hate leaving mine all day, or somewhere I am not familiar with, so that is why I am doing this. Every dog deserves to be played with all day long! I work from home so am very flexible during the day and week. I normally go on daily walks anyways so wouldn’t mind helping you out as well! I have a privacy fence with a big yard. Lots of room for activities lol along with my two furbabies who play out there all day.
About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and even hedgehogs! I love and treat each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live off of a private road on 1.6 acres. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and lots of sniffing for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. I have also have two large dogs who love to play. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent regularly to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! *please let me know if your fur baby has any special limitations at our meet and greet so I can do my best to accommodate them.* I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life from small to large breeds. We always had dogs as I was growing up and continue to have dogs now. I am very flexible with my schedule, so I have time for all activities including going for walks and getting them the exercise they need. I am home every day with a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate your pets' needs throughout the day. I am also available on short notice. I can handle large and small dogs alike. I will make sure they get the exercise and affection they need while also attending to the basics. Weather it's going for a jog or a walk, I will make sure your pet is safe and happy.
“Rachel was great! Not only did she love on my babies like they were her own, but her and her daughter were very calming for my babes. Rachel sent LOTS of photos and was very loving towards my babies! I will definitely be using Rachel again🩷”
“Josie was great with our two goldens. She was patient and communicated really well during and after the drop in. We have her scheduled for reoccurring drop ins now and it feels great to be able to trust our dogs with her :)”
About: I have raised and loved two boxer dogs over the past 25 years and also 5 stray cats/kittens in this time period. Walks are fun. I am retired for 10 months now so I have a very flexible schedule. I love to be outside and take walks on a regular basis. I was a dog and cat owner for decades. I took them to all their vet appointments over the years. My dogs were always on a leash for walks.
“I am so happy Sara is on Rover! She has watched my cats and dogs for years. Knowing Sara is caring for my animals gives me peace of mind. She checks in on my girls while I am at work. I know my pets are safe with Sara. Just meeting her you can tell she truly loves animals! Penelope & Mille are so excited to see Sara again soon! Thanks, Sara!!”
About: I've had dogs all my life and I love taking care of them! They truly are great creatures. I've cared for shitzus, labs, retrievers, doodles, chows, terriers, and many a mutt. I currently own a golden doodle named Maeli who loves other dogs. I'm a writer so my schedule is often very flexible. I'm home most of the day and available for play and potty breaks throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated as part of the family when they're with me. Whether we're going for a walk or boarding, they will be given lots of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard as well to give lots of time for play.
“Sharon did a great job with my dog for midday drop in visits for 4 days. They got along great and Draagan appeared happy when I came home from work. She was on time, thorough, and followed instructions to a T.”
“Michelle is wonderful with my dog. She dropped in while I worked 10 hour shifts all week, brought her a toy because I totally forgot to bring her toys with us. Took her out to potty and brought her treats. If I'm in this area again I will definitely be using her.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we left, we knew our pup was in great hands. Our sitter was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know there's someone we can completely trust with our furry family member. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Ann has been a blessing for our family! She started watching our puppy when he was 10 weeks old every day until he was 7 months! She went above and beyond to teach him commands, play with him, make sure he was fed and took him on walks! She truly treated him like he was her own! I cannot recommend her enough! She is very knowledgeable about training puppies and I don’t know what we would have done without her help! She was a very positive influence on our puppies first months and he is very well behaved I believe because of her! We are truly going to miss her and I know our puppy is too!
Kelena was exactly what we'd hoped for. Had a last minute cancellation for boarding our 2 dogs. Which left us in a panic. We had one week before our event, and to make it even worse, it was Memorial Day weekend. Rover sent a list of drop-in sitters to help. Kelena responded very quickly to our request. Had a very successful meeting, the dogs loved her! On the day of the event, she came at the appointed time, sent pictures of our dogs, so we knew she got in okay, and fed and watered them. So when we returned home, all was well. She's a gem, very good with our dogs. Will definitely use her service again.
Thanks, Heather! My first time using Rover, and first time having anyone not friend/family/neighbor care for my pup. I’m very grateful for what a great experience it was and how comfortable I felt. Super easy to with either and fast to respond. I’m so lucky I have someone I’ll go to and trust already for next time :)

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.

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 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.
