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.
“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands. Chelsea was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to put a smile on our faces each time. This was our first time with Rover and we will absolutely be using this service again AND specifically asking for Chelsea!”
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.
“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: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. There’s something so special about having animals in your life. I always love getting to meet a new pup! I’m currently home for the summer for college, so I’m basically free most days unless something comes up. I have a car, but jobs must be no further than a 20 minute drive. I want to respect your home and animals as much as I do my own. Any instructions or limitations you give to me, I’ll make sure to follow!
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 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.
About: I have a nurturing personality which makes it pretty easy to be a care taker, and I really enjoy this part of being able to help others. Pet care actually works out really well with my schedule/full-time job schedule as I work from home and I go into office working in a hybrid environment. The long story short-- my schedule is very flexible allowing me to watch/keep your furry friend safe. When I home stay, as I have in the past, I treat the property, items, pets and home with the utmost respect as if it were my own and leave things exactly how they were. I prioritize a clean space for myself and intend to do so for you, so when you return home it's not an absolute mess. It's very important to me that you are able to trust that I do right by your rules/policies of the home, as I understand it can be a bit daunting to trust someone with your special buddy or living space, whatever the case may be. My goal is for you to feel worry free while you're away and rest assured client trust is something I take very seriously!
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: 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.
“Josie did a wonderful job taking care of our four legged fur babies. She kept us up to date with pictures and very good communication with every visit. Great job and would highly recommend Josie.”
About: I'm a reliable and trustworthy dog lover with experience dog sitting anything from a 5-lb Shih Tzu to a 110-lb Bernese Mountain Dog. Old, young, big, small... I love them all! I'm ready to give your dog the individual attention they need! Whether it's hiking/walking around the neighborhood or cuddling on couch, I'm happy to be there for your buddy until you get home! Lastly, I'm ready to accommodate my services to fit your dog's need. Feel free to let me know of any special requests or needs that your dog may require to make my visit more comfortable for you and your dog. And do you like pictures? Be ready for picture updates during my visit! As always, please consider me when you need a little help when taking care of a part of your family!
“We've loved working with Makaila over the past few months and multiple trips. She's been wonderfully professional, friendly, and very comfortable and knowledgeable about cat behavior. I was always very comfortable leaving my cat in her care, and would continue to work with her if she wasn't moving away! Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter.”
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!
Brighton dog parents share their Rover experiences
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 :)
We needed last minute coverage for a drop-in with our dogs. Tirzah responded to the request very quickly and helped me through the Rover set up process! (We are new to the app.) She arrived for the visit promptly, left detailed notes and sent me pictures. Everything was in order and the boys seemed happy when we returned. We would ask Tirzah to watch them again:) Thank you!
