“Kate was amazing with my two puppies. They loved her at first sight - and so did I. Super reliable. She sent me pictures on a regular basis and when I came back I could see that the dogs were super well cared for. I will book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Lavinia took great care of our girl, Reese, as well as our home. We returned home to find things neater than how we left them and Reese was very, very happy! We highly recommend Lavinia and definitely plan to book her again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Joey is absolutely wonderful! Our three Labrador boys really loved him and it put our minds at ease. He was very professional and made sure to re-visit our home before we left on our vacation so our boys could meet him again and to learn their schedule and ask questions. We had zero concerns while we were away which was very nice. He also sent us amazing photos of our boys every day. When we returned, the house was pretty much in the same shape as we left it. It was a great surprise to not have to come home to a mess. We could go on and on about how wonderful he is but overall, if you are looking for a great dog sitter, we would definitely recommend Joey!”
“Christine was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our big girl while we were gone for four nights. She stayed at our house and everything was perfect. We loved her!”
“James and Katherine are wonderful dog sitters! Our dog loves them. They are responsible and respectful of our home. And great communicators! Will always use them if available.”
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.
“Lauren was amazing taking care of my five dogs for a weekend trip! She was on time, communicated with me frequently, and my dogs loved her. Nala is such a perfect girl as well!”
“Would 100% book again with Kaitlin. She was extremely professional, honest, reasonable, and most importantly LOVED my dog as if he was her own. She offers fantastic dog care, she was very caring and attentive to our pup. Kaitlin stayed in touch with us daily via text and phone. She sent daily photos of what our dog was doing. She not only took care of our dog, but she took care of our home as well. She left it exactly how we left it. Can't wait for Kaitlin to watch Tino again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. I always find the animal in the room and have gained a lot of knowledge over the years!! I have a Yorkie and a Golden Retriever myself. I trained my golden retriever myself as well. I’m currently a senior in college with a light schedule. I have a lot of gaps during my days. I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (most often). I have enough knowledge to know what a pet needs in any moment. I will be able to keep an eye on them at all times. I am able to adjust to anything that a specific owner is more comfortable with.
“Annaliese kept me informed as to how the dogs were doing. I received photos of the dogs about twice a day. She kept the routine for the dogs the same by following directions left. The dogs looked happy & taken care of.”
About: Hello! My name is Ajani and I am senior here at Howard University. I am a caring, passionate and responsible person. Your Dog will be in safe hands as I will treat them with the love and caution as if they were my own. I will be careful to follow any instructions left behind. I enjoy walks or runs and I don't mind sticking to specific trails. I have experience with sitting both cats and dogs as I have had a cat for 10 years now and back home I used to walk my neighbors dog. Please let me know any information you think will be helpful to best make sure your pet and I will have the best time. Any triggers and anxieties will be helpful
“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!”
“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!”
“Elise is a treasure! She is very responsible, caring and my rescue pup loved her. She took very good care of the house including during a power outage. Highly recommend!”
“I know that Kelsey is highly regarded as a superb dog watcher but I knew from the moment we met her we hit Gold! She communicated almost every day and sent us pictures as well! She had quite a list from me- and she followed all instructions. The most important thing is we came home at 1:00 AM this morning and the dogs were happy to see us but emotionally calm and just chilled and went to bed! Same today! That is the greatest testament that our pups were loved and needs were met while we were out of the country!! Thank you so much Kelsey!!!”
“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Beverly is wonderful! She’s incredibly detail-oriented and made sure to ask lots of clarifying questions. I could tell that Charlie was very content with her (she sent a bunch of pictures) and, as a bonus, she left the house spotless. I’d definitely recommend her!
I can’t that Erin enough for taking care of my lab Irie. It gave me such a piece of mind while traveling , knowing she was in good hands. She shared pictures and updates throughout her time with Irie which was very nice and reassuring. 10/10 times I would have Erin watch Irie and if you’re looking for a great pet sitter, look no further. Enjoy! ✌️
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Ona took great care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They were caring, attentive and communicative. We loved getting updates and knowing our Chancy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We highly recommend Ona to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring towards their four legged friends. We would absolutely book again!
Super reliable and an excellent communicator. Checked in with me via text to ask important questions. First ROVER agent to ever think ahead and know my 2nd dog was coming home with me and she nicely set up his kibble dish for late day feeding. Will definitely use her again.
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 🐾
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!!

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.

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.
