“Excellent at sending updates and pictures That is my favorite. She did great with the meds for Gypsy. We can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind she allowed us to have while away from our girls”
About: Booking with me allows for your dog to get a well rounded experience that will keep them comfortable while also providing fun and healthy experiences for them! I live on a 40 acre farm that has many trails, animals, and senes that keep your dog happy, safe, and busy! I also have studied k9 behavior and know how to provide your dog socialization and stimulation! I am currently a student at a local college where I play basketball! This allows me to be home in between classes and practices unlike somebody with a full time job. I can provide potty brakes every 2-4 hours as well as walks and play time! I have loved animals since I can remember! Making sure they are happy and well cared for is a must! I will treat your pet as my own and I understand your pet is not just an animal but rather a member of your family! Ensuring they are treated as such is important to me. Fresh water, attention, play time, cuddles, and more are very important to me. I also understand you need updates! Pictures and frequent communication between me and you is also important to me!
“Laura treated our dogs well. She sent us pictures thru ought the weekend which was nice. And they seemed very happy when we got home. Plus she was an excellent house guest by washing the sheets and towels before we got home.”
“We could not be more pleased with Jonna. She kept us informed with just enough texts and pictures that we knew thery were being well cared for. One example included "We all fell asleep on the couch last night." We knew all was well as that is typical of my wife and her "babies". We will would give 10 stars if we could.”
“Korina did an amazing job. She house sat for us for a week and took care of our two dogs. She was dependable and communicated the whole time with pics and updates. Did a great job. Will use again”
About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old and have been house sitting and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for the past 5 years. Throughout that time, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give owners peace of mind by providing dependable, attentive care. I typically work Saturday through Wednesday from 6:00am to 3:00pm. During these hours, I may be away for my shift, but I always make sure pets are cared for before I leave and immediately after I return. I plan my schedule around their needs as much as possible and communicate clearly with owners to ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. I care for pets by ensuring they are fed, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and attention, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s regular routine, so I always do my best to follow their schedule for meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime. I also have experience administering medications. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog that required medication every morning and evening, as well as a senior dog with arthritis who needed oral medication each night. I know how important consistency is, and I’m committed to following each pet’s care instructions closely to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable.
“Bree went above and beyond for our three animals and our house. Everything felt clean and fresh when we got home, which is an ultimate luxury after being away for several days. Genuinely the best person I've booked on Rover. Bree gave lots of updates and had great questions before and during her stay. Can't wait to book her again!”
“Brinkley was amazing she took fantastic care of our animals, was very good with communicating with us, and left the house in better condition then when she arrived. Thank you so much for everything and we highly recommend her.”
“Booked Stefanie last minute! She quickly accepted my request and she made sure to get all the information needed from me, in order to be able to house sit my four dogs. When I arrived home my dogs seemed to be content and I noticed Stefanie gave my dogs the treats and food I left behind. She provided updates and was able to answer any questions I had. This was my first time using Rover and I am glad I could find a dog lover that made sure all of mine were taken care of. She was even went one step further by hand feeding my picky dog without me asking her to do so!”

“Justin took great care of our two shepherds. They can be a handful he kept them entertained while we were away. He sent us pics on a regular basis gave meds and had to apply a hip brace every day for our senior gal. I def recommend Justin for anyone looking for good care for their pups. I will be using him for all our trips in the future. Thanks Justin”

FAQs for House Sitting - Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brighton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brighton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brighton. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
