“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”
“Rico did a great ?? job taking care of all 6 of my dogs, 5 of which are large. He was attentive to their individual needs as rescues recovering from abusive origin homes. And, he saved the day when he agreed to be our sitter for a long weekend after someone else had flaked on us at the last minute. Thank you for being willing to drive 2 hrs, say yes at last minute and keeping my pack safe, happy and healthy while I was away!”
“Emma was incredibly polite and attentive with my two dogs and cat—she might even be a cat whisperer! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a spotless house and, most importantly, very happy pets. Thank you so much, Emma!”
“Lavinia was great! Very communicative and caring. All of the photo updates showed the dogs were having an absolute blast! The house was left in spotless condition. Highly recommend!”
“Maddie did a wonderful job watching our two fur babies over our wedding weekend! She sent ample pictures and gave us daily updates, which we really appreciated. She also left our home clean and well taken care of. We would absolutely book Maddie again!”
“David saved the day when he stayed with our special needs dog and senior cat. We trusted they were in good hands and I am not sure they noticed we were even gone!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
“Kevan was really great with our boy Ruckus, who can sometimes be a handful! Kevon was very communicative and kept us updated on everything. He was also able to sit for us last minute and responded quickly to our request. We've already booked him again for an upcoming trip. It's great to know our fur baby is in good hands!”
“Lauren responded quickly to my request for a week-long stay at my house with my two rescue dogs. She brought along her dog, “Nala” and my sometimes cranky border collie had a great week playing with her. Lauren noticed my grass was tall and asked if she could mow-yes! I was happy to come home to a house that was clean and neat, with linens washed (!) and dogs well cared for. I will definitely be asking Lauren back!”
“Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!”
“Joey was fabulous! We set up a pre setting visit, and our dogs were immediately smitten with Joey! That set the stage for an amazing engagement with Joey. He sent daily updates and the cutest photos with clever & funny comments! Joey is a natural with dogs & we would highly recommend him!!!”
“Words cannot express how highly we think of Emily. We have used her often and she is fantastic but during the recent stay she went above and beyond. She identified that our dog was having a medical emergency, she took him to urgent care and then drove an hour and a half each way to get a prescription that he urgently needed (it was not available locally). She may literally have saved his eyesight. We will always be grateful for Emily and five stars is not nearly a high enough rating.”
“They provided an amazing experience for my dog! Took them on so many walks and played with them to keep them engaged. Very communicative with me about any problems or concerns. Will absolutely book them again!”
“Ona was wonderful! So accommodating, took great care of our dogs and our home. She was flexible and generous and the dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated with us throughout and sent pics of the dogs. We highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs, home and pool for us while we were on vacation. She communicated with us and sent us pictures daily. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if she is available.”
“Communicative, friendly, and sent great pictures throughout the stay. House was clean and my pup was happy and calm when I returned - which is a great sign that she enjoyed her week with Eric!”
“Nikole took such good care of my dog! He doesn’t take to new people easily but Nikole made him feel comfortable around her very quickly. She was very prompt and sent me lots of updates and pics. I would book with Nikole again for sure!”
“We couldn't be more pleased to have found Emily to stay with our furbabies! She responded almost immediately to my first request and has been more accomodating by coming over to meet us, get to know our pets, and take a short walk. While we were gone we received wonderful feedback about their behaviour and she even put up with our heat that kept dropping out and leaving her quite cold! When we returned, the house was waiting for us in pristine condition. Emily even re-made our bed so that we wouldn't have to after our long day of travel. We feel she went above and beyond our expectations and are so appreciative!”

Rey is a dream - our dogs and home were in great hands while we were away. Rey went above and beyond, including helping when we needed some extra time for the dogs. We received pics, videos and updates throughout the stay which always sets my mind at ease when I’m away. We will absolutely book with Rey again!
Kaitlyn is a top notch professional when it comes to taking care of my anxious pups! She communicates consistently with me, and shows genuine concern and care for them both. This was the second time we have hired Kaitlyn! She is very reliable and responsible. I will always go to Kaitlyn if I need a great dog sitter!
Rico is an exceptional pet sitter. He communicates before and throughout his stay, sending pictures each day. When we get home, our 2 dogs and cat are so happy and well-adjusted after having someone at home with them that they love. And our house is always well taken care of, with our mail and packages brought in. We so appreciate the great care Rico provides!
Kevan was really great with our boy Ruckus, who can sometimes be a handful! Kevon was very communicative and kept us updated on everything. He was also able to sit for us last minute and responded quickly to our request. We've already booked him again for an upcoming trip. It's great to know our fur baby is in good hands!
Madeline took wonderful care of Dottie Mae and June Bug while we were away. She provided consistent communication throughout their stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Madeline was a fantastic caretaker, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 552 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.

- 93% 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.
