“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”
“Lavinia took such great care of our pup and our house. She gave daily check-ins and made sure to reach out with any questions or concerns. We will be booking with her again in the future.”
“This was our second time using Kenan. He's really responsive and provides regular updates. Our fur baby got a bee sting while on a walk and Kenan let us know right away and kept an eye on Ruckus to make sure he was ok and didn't have a reaction”
“Lauren did a great job house sitting with my cat! She brought her dog and was very conscientious about making sure my cat adjusted well to having her dog in the house. She was good with explaining how things were going and I was pleased to find my cat in good spirits and my house in order once home. I definitely plan to use her again and highly recommend her!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Emily was amazing! She was very communicative the whole time and sent lots of updates during the stay. It was so nice to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away, and it was even better to come home to happy dogs and a clean house! We would definitely recommend Emily!”
“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!!!”
“Rico took such great care of our dog Patch. He took the time to get to know him and all of his little quirks, exercise routine, and medication. Rico was excellent at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. He put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our son’s wedding and festivities out of town. Also, the house was well taken care of and Patch was very happy and chill when we got home. The only issue is we said Rico’s name and he got excited and started looking for him. :)We would give Rico many more stars if possible. Thank you again.”
“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!”
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.
“This is the 2nd time that Ona was watched our dog and he loves her so much! We didn’t have to worry at about him at all when we went on vacation, and we came back to a clean house!”
“Camille was amazing!!! She took great care of our chihuahua while we were away. I never once had to worry about a thing as I knew my pup was in great hands! The photos that were sent to us were amazing and also gave us a sense of ease. Will definitely book with Camille again!!! 😄”
“Emily did a wonderful job with our dog Laurent. He is a very picky eater and has some quirky behaviors but Emily managed it all beautifully. It is such a relief to have someone we can trust with out pet and pur home.”
About: I am a passionate pet care-taker with experience with a variety of animals including cats and dogs from high energy pups to immunocompromised seniors. I hope with my experience in boarding, daycare and in-home settings, I can be the right fit for you and your furry friends ❤️☀️ My schedule is wide open and flexible! I am willing to do overnights for up to 2 weeks, drop-ins could be upwards of a month if needed. Up to 3 walks a day. Let’s talk and we can work it out! You can expect your home to look the same as when you left - no accidents, destruction, crying or stress. Let your vacation be just that 🌴🍹
“Corwin took very good care of my two 15 year old Munchkin Cats. I had him do overnights since Mochi, the female needs medication daily. I rarely go away more than 4 days and I was very comfortable leaving for over a week. Corwin sent me many photos and I could see how both cats loved him being around! I definitely would recommend Corwin to take care of your fur babies! 😻😻”
“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.”
About: I was born and raised to love dogs. I grew up in a household that bred Rottweilers and I could not be anymore grateful for the lessons of love and care for animals it instilled in me. I began caring for other's pets when I was in high school. Over a decade later I have had experience in short and long-term overnight care/house sitting, day-visits, walks, and some medication administration for pets of all ages and sizes. I have a special spot in my heart for senior pets and giving them the extra love and care they deserve. I know that every home and pet has unique needs and ways to be taken care of. I believe with clear communication I am able to approach each new pet care situation with confidence that we can both feel when you leave your loved ones in my care! I am currently just working part time and have lots of flexibility/weekend availability. I love to take early morning walks with dogs, especially given that it's summer I keep the heat in mind and have availability during the cooler hours. I have reliable transportation to come to your home! I am a very organized and clean person so if I am welcomed into your home I assure it will be treated with respect and care. For walks I believe I am very observant and aware of my surroundings, ensuring safety for both myself and your pet(s).
About: I have had a beautiful, high maintenance cat for many years, who has needed a variety of medications and accommodations since I have had him. So I have done research and practice in how to best take care of older cats that need extra care. I have done ear drops, eye drops, pills, oral syringes, and diabetes syringes. I have also been pet sitting for several years for a wide variety of animals, including a range of dogs, rabbits, turtles, and lizards. I take instructions very seriously, and I love to send photos of pets to their owners while I am with their pets. I prefer the opportunity to meet the pets and owners before pet-sitting, to make sure I am clear on expectations and instructions. I work Monday-Friday, 8-5 most weeks, with some flexibility. I have my own car so I am able to go anywhere in a pretty timely manner. I prefer to meet the pets and owners before I do any pet sitting, to make sure I am clear on all instructions and I know what to watch out for. I always check doors carefully to prevent pets from going where they shouldn't, and I don't trust any gaps in fences or doorways because these little guys can wiggle through small spaces.
“Edward did a great job for us. He and our dog Buddy got along famously, and he was especially diligent about keeping us informed about Buddy’s time with him. Edward stayed with Buddy for five days and kept us up-to-date throughout. Additionally, the house was left in perfect condition. We will certainly use Edward for our next trip away.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Brighton is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Finding someone trustworthy to care for our pack while we’re away on vacation is no easy task, but Christine is an absolute gem! Managing four dogs is a lot for one person to handle, yet she handles our household with so much patience, ease, and attention to detail. Our dogs adore her, and having that total peace of mind while we’re traveling is priceless. She keeps us updated, takes fantastic care of our home, and gives each of our pups the attention they need. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!
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.
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!
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.
