“Alexandra was a wonderful companion for our cat. She’s reliable and good natured and clearly loves animals. She went over and above which allowed us to travel comfortably knowing that our kitty was not m good hands. I highly recommend her! 🐈⬛❤️”
“We are so grateful for Amber! We have 3 cats, 2 of which are rescues who had a very hard life for 3 years before we took them in. One of them was never seen, aside from a quick run-away, by a previous petsitter who took care of our cats for the past 3 years. But from her very first day, Amber gained all 3 kitties' trust and affection. She not only saw our "ghost kitty," she was able to pet her. No previous petsitter had won this kitty's trust before, and certainly not within a day! Amber sent us detailed updates and photos of our happy, calm cats. We were also blown away by how thoughtful and neat she was with everything. When we came home, all 3 cats immediately came out and were happy and peaceful. Usually, at least one would hide for a little while because they'd be stressed when we were away. Not this time. Amber is truly amazing.”
“Kathleen is extremely responsive and thorough. She always does a great job with summarizing her visits. I have an elderly dog with lots of issues and she’s incredibly patient and kind with her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ray whom we used to walk our beloved dog each day for a week while we were on vacation. She precisely followed our instructions, communicated with us each day,and sent pictures to us for each walk. We found to be conscientious and trustworthy and certainly will rebook with her as needed”
“First official walk and it went amazing! Even my little Chihuahua, who is very picky didn’t give her any issues putting on his leash! They love her! Super happy 🩷”
About: New to Rover! I have 20+ years, like most of you, taking care of dogs (all ages & size) walking, training & loving. Raised in Rochester & know all the best parks & trails. I have an SUV and don’t mind taking the dogs places if requested. Night shift worker during the week, I make lots of time for my puppy at home and would love to make time for your dog during the day. I’m available all days of the week, unfortunately that doesn’t mean I’m available all the time but can make time each day of the week if necessary. Just reach out, your odds are high that I can help I know how important pets are to everyone’s family and will treat yours like you do at home, or better :) Learning your dogs behavior is a key to success, the more information the better (behavior around dogs, people, children, chewing, barking) to know if they are acting different in any way. I get excited each time I meet new parents of dogs, i wouldn’t trust some nobody with my dog unless I got to know them first, I am in my mid twenties and have lived in pittsford/penfield for most of life, I do not drink if that matters to you, I’d say based off appearance I look pretty clean unless it’s cold out then you may only be seeing what’s visible under my hood or hat. I’m well educated in the do’s and don’ts on what is safe and unsafe for dogs and puppies to accidentally eat. Coming from a family that has dealt with Lyme Disease I take precaution in where my dogs are roaming, and always checking my puppy and past dogs constantly for ticks
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 4 years old, and recently rescued a dog of my own. I began training and caring for her myself starting when she was 9 weeks old. I am very comfortable around dogs no matter what size. I have experience I with positive reinforcement training for puppies as well. I employed full time but my schedule varies based on the day. My weekends are usually very open, allowing me to provide services at almost any time on Saturdays and Sundays! I value positive reinforcement for dogs and will always put the safety and health of your dog first. I will care for the needs of your dog and make sure they are comfortable and happy.
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.
“Jade was so helpful and took our dog on a walk and fed her dinner (which included a very long instruction list). We are so thankful as it made our wedding weekend so easy and smooth for us to enjoy without worry. Thank you!”
“Rebekah took amazing care of our bunnies! She was very prompt, communication was great, and she sent lots of cute photos. I plan to book her again the next time I go out of town! Thank you!!!”
“Heather was the BEST with our senior dog and understood how much our chewy is loved and not just our dog but family, I would 100% recommend her and use her in the future. THANK YOU beyond a million Heather ….”
“Sophie was great!! I love the way she cared for my dog. She gave THE BEST report cards and updates. She did drop in visits over the holidays. Very reliable, thoughtful, and super sweet with my gentle giant. Definitely hope to book with her in the future!”
“Joseph was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my cats and was super accommodating to their needs (one is really shy and he made sure to lay eyes on her and know she was okay, even if she didn't come out.) Super highly recommend!!”
About: I'm a NYS Certified Teacher (heavily bg checked & vetted) currently on childcare leave to care for my youngest son. I have a high-energy rescue Pit bull and a grumpy, 20-year-old Russian Tortoise at home in addition to my 2 human kids. I grew up with pets of ALL kinds: dogs, chickens, lizards, snakes, cockatiels, guinea pigs, mice & rats, turtles, frogs & toads, axolotls, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, tons of fish, and more. I'm comfortable caring for both traditional and more exotic pets including reptiles, amphibians, birds and more. I love animals of all types- so much so that I have been a vegetarian since I was 16! Dogs have been my most constant; aside from a few of my years in NYC, I've lived with dogs my whole life! I'm on a leave of absence from my teaching position while I stay at home with my 1-year old. As such, my schedule is quite flexible with a few days' notice. I typically have daytime or evening availability most days. If this is your first booking with Rover, ask me for my promo code for $20 off! Every pet family is different; I allow you to set the tone and pace depending on your and your pets' needs. Like people, certain animals are more affectionate, outgoing and energetic, while others are more reserved and might take time to warm up and build trust and relationships. I am communicative and will send pics/video updates as often as you like!
About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.
About: Before moving to the Rochester area, I worked at Windy City Paws in Chicago, one of the top pet sitting/dog walking agencies in the city. My daily schedule included several walks and day care check-ins, including cats. I have a 12 year old dachshund with some special medical needs, so I am a pro at senior dog care and giving medications! I am currently a stay at home wife and dog mom, so your pet will be my main focus during the day! I am happy to take care of them while you work or while you travel. I live in an apartment complex that is very safe for walks. There are a lot of dogs living here so there is sure to be plenty to sniff! I'm also happy to take your dog to the park for walks (always on leash) if you are comfortable.
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and I recommend her to anyone that needs proper care for their animals while they are away. She not only took great care of my cat but also kept the house clean and brought the mail in. I truly appreciated coming home to a happy cat and clean home. Thank you Amanda :)!”
About: I’m a responsible and attentive pet sitter who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry little buddies. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to medium-sized dogs and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My friends joke that I’m a “dog magnet” because dogs tend to warm up to me very quickly. One of my favorite parts of being around dogs is the energy exchange that happens through play and companionship. I really enjoy building that connection and making them feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. And I’m happy to send regular updates and photos at whatever frequency works best for you. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually accommodate both weekday and weekend visits. I know pets do best with consistency, so I make an effort to keep walks, meals, potty breaks, and check-ins as close to their usual routine as possible. I’m happy to discuss timing in advance so we can find what works best for your pet. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and enter your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walking preferences, medications, crate or door routines, and any special precautions you’d like me to take. I will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and settled before I leave.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
I never used to go anywhere because I hated leaving my two cats home alone for to long and hated asking my daughter to watch them because she is slightly allergic to cats. Now that my daughter has moved from New York to Texas it has forced me to go away for a longer periods of time to go visit her. I then found Rover and matched me with Alina who has been awesome to work with! Our communication back and forth has been super easy. Alina asks questions and is very interested in getting to know what is going to make my kitties happy and healthy. My older cat Rosco has hyperthyroidism and needs to take medication every 12 hours and Alina has performed that task perfectly. I can now go away to visit my daughter or go anywhere knowing that my babies are being taking very well cared of.
Kelsey is an absolute sweetheart and so kind. she always made sure to send photos and always kept us updated. she was able to take us kind of last minute and my kitty seemed to love here. even our leopard gecko ate for her. i will be using her again for future vacations and recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Ray whom we used to walk our beloved dog each day for a week while we were on vacation. She precisely followed our instructions, communicated with us each day,and sent pictures to us for each walk. We found to be conscientious and trustworthy and certainly will rebook with her as needed
Jenna was fantastic with drop-ins for our cats while we went on a two week getaway. Our oldest needs oral medicine twice per day and he can be quite finicky, as cats are, and she handled it with ease. It was great seeing her photo updates of playtime each visit and knowing that both of our cats took to her in short order (even the ultra shy one!). She was very communicative and reliable throughout. I would definitely recommend Jenna and we will happily be repeat customers for any future trips!
We are so grateful for Amber! We have 3 cats, 2 of which are rescues who had a very hard life for 3 years before we took them in. One of them was never seen, aside from a quick run-away, by a previous petsitter who took care of our cats for the past 3 years.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brighton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brighton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
