“Anne consistently goes above and beyond for our dog Sheldon. Sheldon has always had a problem with pulling and controlling his pace from excitement on walks, and Anne took it upon herself to help with pull training techniques and he has responded so positively! You can tell how much he loves spending time with Anne from every single picture report card, she is basically a part of his family! Booking Anne was the easiest and best choice we ever made!”

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.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂

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!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who understands how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. I currently have my own active Dalmatian, so daily walks, exercise, routines, and plenty of attention are already a big part of my life. I’ve also started building recurring Rover relationships and have experience with regular weekday walks and drop-in care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, handling energetic dogs, and adjusting walks or visits based on each dog’s personality and needs. I’m reliable, active, communicative, and treat every dog like I’d want someone to treat my own. I’m especially happy to work with repeat clients and become a familiar, trusted part of your dog’s routine. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always around pets and started pet sitting and dog walking at a young age. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while making sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and cared for throughout my visit.

About: I’ve been professionally caring for dogs since 2016, with 10 years of paid experience through a pet-sitting company and private clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they may need. I’m experienced with administering medications, mobility assistance, slower walks, and even stroller rides! As a dog mom to my sweet Theo, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. As a dog mom myself, I'm already used to planning my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and maintain their normal routine, so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I always make sure I have the time and availability to give every pet the attention and care they deserve! Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they're in loving hands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they feel like part of the family. Although I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with multiple walks throughout the day, plenty of fresh air, playtime, and lots of love and attention! Dogs are always kept on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a dog of my own, Theo, who can stay with my family during stays if needed. When caring for your pet in your own home, I always respect the space and do my best to maintain the pets usual routines. I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I also love sending pictures and updates throughout our time together! I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and being well care for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and kindness I would want for my own!

About: I am an animal lover who loves to get outside. I’ve had cats or dogs my whole life, and love any day I get to see a fluffy face. I enjoy for walks, giving a good ear scratch, throwing the ball/stick, and giving shy pets their space. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and a variety of personalities. I work 3 days a week so have plenty of time throughout the week to schedule walks or pop ins! If you have questions please let me know. I currently have two cats that are spoiled rotten. I enjoy going for walks and being part of the pack. Happy to chat and get to know you and your pets needs!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Brighton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brighton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 3,420 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
