About: We’ve loved and cared for animals our entire lives and have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and physical needs. That lifelong experience helped us create a home designed specifically for dogs’ safety and comfort, where we care for only one pup at a time so we can give them our full attention. With a fenced yard, lots of supervision, and very little time spent alone, your dog will enjoy a calm, loving environment filled with playtime, cuddles, and personalized care. Our daily routine is built around the dogs in our care. One of us is home most of the day, so your pup will have very little, if any, time alone. We provide regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, play sessions, walks (if that’s part of their routine), and plenty of cuddle and relax time throughout the day. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and medication schedule so their stay feels familiar, comfortable, and stress-free. We offer a calm, safe, and loving home for your dog while you’re away. We intentionally care for only one dog at a time, so your pup gets our full attention and a peaceful, stress-free stay (no crowded doggy sleepovers here!).

So thankful for Katie to come check up on my cats during the holiday. She was very helpful and kind! She went the extra mile and I appreciate all of her notes and pictures. Would recommend and have her come again with the kitties. They seemed to love her as well.

Kelli took great care of our dogs while we were away. She completed 2 drop in visits per day for us. One of our dogs can be very challenging. Kelli navigated around her needs so both her and our dog felt comfortable. We would recommend her!

I have a modified automated cat feeder and a few smart home setups that I was worried would be too intricate to explain to someone else, but Heather handled everything perfectly; she absolutely went above and beyond! She was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. I'm planning another trip soon and will certainly book with her again!

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

About: Hello! I’m Katie! I have had about 7 years of experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for animals of all species and ages! I have my own pets and have been surrounded by animals my whole life! I would love to extend my love to your fur baby! I do work about 28-32 hours a week at starbucks, but am usually off before 2. I get my schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I can make plans in advance. I am off monday, wednesday, and fridays! I do have some plans this summer, but I will do my best to fit your pet into my schedule! I have two older cats (11 and 10), one requiring medication daily so I have experience in administering medication. I also have 3 dogs (5 month old lab, 11 year old pitbull, and a 7 year old dachshund) So I am experienced in different age groups! I have also cared for birds, reptiles, and fish before :)

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!

Do not miss out on Lyle! He is the most loving, thoughtful, reliable person we’ve ever had watch our dogs. We were astonished by his authentic interest in our babies, as well as his deep knowledge about dogs. (He even did extra research about our breed!) After asking for our permission, he worked some magic with scents to make our little one’s feel safe while we were away. We are now able to travel without worry because we have Lyle. We’re so grateful for him.

This is the second time we’ve booked with Melissa, and she’s been awesome both times. Diggity loves her and is always super calm and happy when she’s around. She sends us great pictures, and it’s clear he’s comfortable and well taken care of. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring!

I recently worked with Alexandria to care for my cat, Juniper, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring Juniper was well cared for while I was away. I returned to a happy cat and a house just as I left it. The communication was excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexandria and look forward to working together again in the future.

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.

I’m so happy with Kelli ! She treats my gizmo like it’s her own dog. I think I’m more happier than gizmo when I know she’s coming to visit because I know he is going to be so happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,495 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
