“Kelsey truly cares for our pets. They love to see her. Our nervous dog ALLY, is so relaxed with her. One of our cats, GYPSY, doesn't go into hiding. Once again thank you Kelsey.”
“I cannot say enough positive things about using Joey as a dog and house sitter. If you are considering booking him, just do it. Prior to leaving town, I had to change my booking dates more than once and Joey handled it very professionally. While away, I received hilarious pictures of my very happy dog having a great time. My dog and booking can be “a lot.” We have acreage with many critters and a strong dog who loves to hike and swim. All went well and then some… Joey left the house immaculate, my dog tired out and my bird feeders filled. I couldn’t have come home from a long vacation to a better situation. I can highly recommend Joey and will definitely be rebooking him.”

“Lauren was quick to respond to the request and asked thoughtful questions during a meet and greet. Clear communication throughout, stayed in contact with pictures, returned to a clean home.”
About: I have taken care of various dog breeds throughout my life. I have experience taking care of 6-8 puppies at the same time; walking dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as huskies and golden retrievers I currently work remotely and my schedule is flexible. i have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, pet walking and more. I’m available for same day calls I am flexible and can adapt to any type of pet care is necessary. All depends on the requirements that the client asks and I will respect them and execute safely and responsibly for the dog.
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for our two cats and dog. This is our second time having her stay with our furbabies and we always know they are in good hands when she’s with them. She’s very communicative and provides us updates, which is so appreciated! She’s our go to Rover when we are out of town!”
“Ranait was an incredible house sitter for my shy and nervous dog! She had last minute available to help us out in a pinch and was so thoughtful in her communications and updates. She took excellent care of the house and most importantly, my furbaby. We’d use Ranait again in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
“It’s safe to say that James is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He is timely, provides pictures, great communication, and is so great with our dog. He watched our German Shepherd for 5 nights and my mind was at ease that she was in good hands the whole time. He is respectful and treated our home like it was his own. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be using James (& Katherine) in the future!”
“Ona took great care of my dog for the weekend! She took her on lots of walks and sent plenty of updates each day so that I knew how everything was going. She went above and beyond to help me out this weekend!”

“Maria was great! She took wonderful care of our boy and our home. Definitely put my mind at ease while we were away for the weekend knowing our dog was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Anna is just the sweetest and super easy to work with! She showed up earlier than expected and I knew I picked the right person! She showed an interest and was very easy to chat with. I was happy to get pictures. She also checked in before she left to make sure I was on my way. Very very very happy with Anna! Thanks again!!!
Komal is amazing! My 7 month old puppy loved her. Komal was able to stay at my house with her and kept her on her normal routine for a week we were out of town for a family wedding. She sent frequent updates and pictures and my girl was as happy as could be. So glad I found her, and she will be my go to sitter from now on! 10/10 recommend 🐾
Beverly did a great job taking care of my two high anxiety dogs at our home. She stayed for 3 nights and sent lots of pictures and updates. She left the house exactly as we left it. No problems at all! She was very sweet and professional when I met her for a meet and greet and in all of our correspondence. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!
I honestly don’t think we could have asked for a better person to care for our three dogs. Leaving them behind is always hard, but from the moment she came into our home, she made us feel completely at ease. She didn’t just “watch” our dogs — we can tell she genuinely cared for them, loved on them, and treated them like they were her own as soon as we returned from our trip and saw our dogs. Knowing that all three of them were happy, comfortable, and getting so much attention while we were away meant the absolute world to us. She was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, communicative, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to three happy dogs and a home that was exactly as we left it. Christine gave us the ability to actually relax and enjoy our time away because we knew our babies were in the best possible hands. We are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for our dogs. She truly became someone we would feel completely comfortable trusting again, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her stay with them again. If you’re lucky enough to book her, you can feel completely confident that your pets will be loved, cared for, and treated like family. 🐾 Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our babies! We appreciate you more than you know.
Hannah was amazing! She kept us posted on how our babies were doing with some adorable photos, cared for them with love and gave them lots of special attention. She also dealt with their shenanigans with expertise and grace. Thanks, Hannah, for caring for our fur-family!
Olivia is absolutely amazing! My cats instantly trusted her at our meet and greet. I am super anxious leaving my 2 cats but she was so communicative with me and provided such great updates- I felt so at ease. I will absolutely use Olivia again. I have very high expectations for care for my cats, She went above and beyond my expectations and then some! Thank you!!
Erin was great watching our fur baby in our home for the weekend. She was communicative and kept us updated with pictures on our Bella throughout her stay. I felt comfortable knowing my girl was cared in the comfort of home, for while our family was out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 518 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.
