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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and I am veterinary technician with a year of experience and I’m planning on getting my license in the fall! I also have some training experience and I have a pittie at home with some behavioral issues so I’m no stranger to difficult dogs! I do work a full time job at a vet clinic but I am available over nights, some weekdays and weekends to either stay with your fur baby or just stop in to let them out and feed them! I unfortunately cannot have dogs come to my house, but I am respectful and cleanly! I don’t mind staying at your house with your dog, cat, or any other animal you may have! I am great at reading animal body language and sticking to your animas routine! Your babies needs will all be met and more with me watching them!
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: Hello! My name is Maggie. I’m a 31 year old living in South Lyon, & a lover of all animals; the furry, the scaled, the smelly, the shy, the rambunctious, & every animal in between. I’ve had a dog in my home since I was born. My specialty is rabbits! Rabbits are such unique creatures, & I know how to give them the care & gentle love they need. I’ve had 5 cats, 4 dogs, & 1 rabbit in my lifetime, & now, due to my living situation, I am unable to have my own furry pal. I am hoping to get my fix of animal love through this service, while also helping those who need a little help with their busy work schedule or holiday travel plans. I promise to give your pets the same love I would give my own! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a message. Thanks! As a stay at home mom, my schedule is flexible. My toddler would accompany me to drop ins, but he has strict boundaries with animals. If your pet loves kids - great! My kiddo loves animals! If your pet is hesitant to kids, no worries - my son knows he isn’t allowed to go near animals without permission. If you aren’t comfortable with my son being around, I am available Wed-Fri for solo pet care! My husband is home those days! I understand that all pets have different boundaries & quirks. If you have an escape artist cat living in your home, I will be sure to take extra care opening the doors. If your puppy is working on training, I am happy to help continue to with positive reinforcements. Upon meeting, will can go over all your pets’ needs… and their quirks! There will be no shortage of cuddles & playtime for those pets who need extra attention. And pets who take a little longer to build trust will soon find themselves a new friend to find comfort in!
About: We always are out having fun, exploring new terrain. I have a puli and she is always craving new friends and adventures. Dogs are everything to me and the life I live, can't beat a dogs love. We get out and explore all the time as no dog should be left behind sitting around not enjoying life to the fullest. Your pets will be in good hands, treating them just like they are my own. We frequent dog parks and will rally all sorts of fun activities with your beloved animal. I love dogs, you can trust me with your precious family member. Rover is a great service! I work from home so your pets will be taken care of around the clock. I will be available to offer potty breaks whenever needed. We love on your pets like they are our own. They won't want to leave when they are in our care. Safety and their well-being is our top priority.
“Grace did such an amazing job with our dog and two cats! She was always so timely in her drop ins, and kept us very informed on how everyone was doing. We really appreciate that she was able to sit for us fairly last minute as well. She made our pets feel loved and safe and we couldn't have asked for more!”
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 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.
“My dog’s first visit with Stephanie was outstanding! She was punctual, friendly and wonderful with my pup. She took him for a nice walk and put him at ease. I’ll definitely request her again!”
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: Spending my childhood growing up with all sorts of animals, I've always had a passion for their care and behavior. I have turned that passion into a hobby and career choice, working as an enrichment leader at a doggy daycare, and filling my down time by learning about animal behavior and husbandry. Working at the daycare, I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, including but not limited to: reactivity, fearful behaviors, high energy, and working breed dogs. I have handling experience with dogs of all sizes, and implement positive reinforcement training and redirection to combat unwanted behavior. On top of dogs, I have always adored cats and have 10 years of experience with a senior kitty, Scooter, at home as well as many many years of personal research on behavior and handling! Dogs are my professional specialty, but I have experience with reptiles, aquatic creatures, birds, etc! In my mind, every creature is deserving of love and respect. ❤ I'm looking to spend any time im not working at my job at the doggy daycare, working for you! I'm more flexible on the weekends, but can work with you if need be! I am currently unable to board any animals, but I would love to work with pets in your home! With written instructions, I am open to most anything and will show each and every pet and home under my care with love, compassion, and respect.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Brighton is $20
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.

- 98% 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.
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.
