Top rated Brighton house sitters

“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”


“I am so thankful to have found Caitlin. I had a last minute issue with my previously arranged pet sitter and turned to Rover hoping for the best. With less than 48 hours turnaround from contract to start of my extended vacation she was able to accommodate a meet and greet and was more than willing to take on my entire menagerie, even making herself comfortable with a rat and a bearded dragon! She was great at following the extensive directions I left and she communicated with me on the regular, sending me pics of my happy, happy crew. I’ll definitely be using Caitlin again, if I can ever afford another vacation after the last one!”


“I booked Maggie to stay at my house and take care of my two dogs while I was out of town. I didn't like the idea of kenneling them and liked the idea of having someone watch them at my house but was hesitant at first. I have never done this before. To say Maggie was awesome is an understatement. My dogs loved spending time with both Maggie and her dog Willow. The house was just as clean as it was when I left when I returned. She brought my garbage can back in after pick up. Got the mail and sent pics and videos. I think my pups miss her and Willow. I was so impressed I just booked for my next trip out of town.”


“Brittany was so amazing with our puppy. It was our first time leaving him and she made us feel so assured and worry free! She provided great care and sent many updates with pictures/video. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her again:)”


“Rebecca was great! We were traveling and didn’t know what we were going to do with our dog. Rebecca arrived at our hotel right on time and immediately greeted Winston. It was an easy gig for her, but so important for us to have our sweet boy cared for in our hotel room while we attended a wedding. We’ll definitely recommend and use Rover again.”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals my entire life that include a wide variety of medical needs to reactivity from puppies to seniors. Willing to provide the best care to your fur baby with daily photo updates. I am currently back in school and work remotely so I’ll be able to be as hands on with your pet as needed throughout the day I will follow all instructions and comfortable administrating medications from injections to pills. I also have experience with reactive large breed dogs as well as high energy working dogs. You can expect a a daily update with pictures.

“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”


“Abigail was an outstanding sitter! She was very conscientious and provided many regular updates. She walked my dogs and played with them! They had a great time! Abigail sent many pictures. A very responsible person! Highly recommend!!!”


About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.

About: I've had pets my whole life, being able to care for a variety of dog breeds/types. During my time at Wittenberg University, I fostered and cared for a service dog in training, raising the puppy from birth to trying to complete the program. This included grooming, cooperative care, daily care, socialization, and training. I also dogsat for others in the program regularly - providing weekly and overnight care which included grooming, feeding, walking, and socialization. I am currently unemployed, being able to provide care for your dog 24/7. Dog care is imbedded into my routine with my Golden Retriever - so adding a new furbaby will be second nature! I have a large backyard that will be getting fenced soon. We also have a friendly golden retriever who loves ALL dogs! We have a crate in our home that isn't used by our dog, so we are able to house overnight.

“Alana did a great job. My greyhounds can be intimidating at 90 and 120 lbs. but she handled them beautifully. No problems even with storms. She gave lots of updates. No problems staying at the house. Definitely will call her again!”


“April was very helpful and flexible for last minute trip planning. She was also very patient and understanding when I had some miscommunication and then some health issues. I can't thank her enough. Most importantly, she was very attentive to the fur babies and they seemed to like her a lot.”

“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”


About: There’s never been a time in my life without animals in the home! From a young age, I helped care for our dogs—feeding them (we even cooked their meals from scratch!), playing, and giving them lots of love. I have vivid memories of spending hours bonding with them as a child. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I’ve looked after senior dogs and have experience giving medication when needed. My calm, nurturing nature helps animals feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re shy, playful, or in their golden years. I’m currently visiting home for the summer, I will be available until the 30th of July. My schedule is flexible as I’m not working right now. You know your pet better than anyone — you’re the boss! I’m happy to follow any instructions or stick to a strict routine to make sure your fur baby stays happy and comfortable. Please provide a strong description of your pets personality, as it will help me adapt quickly and build trust. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can see just how happy your baby is while you’re away!

About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own! I'm currently a real estate agent / stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule and multiple available sitters with a short notice. Don't be afraid to book last minute! We absolutely believe in the safety for our pets as well as others' pets. My wife and I have been on both ends of the spectrum of having a very obedient, friendly dog, as well as being the owner of a dog that is triggered by unfamiliar faces in human and non-human form! No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!

Kaela w.
“Kaela watched two of my Dobies over several years and was amazing with them. They loved seeing her come and would get so excited to see her. One Dobie was a big baby and she catered to his every need for cuddles and affection. The other was a rescue and had a couple personality quirks that she was able to work around with zero issues. Both had health issues in later life that she was able to successfully work with (medicine, food prep, limited mobility, careful attention to change in breathing etc). She can manage walking large dogs with ease. They absolutely loved her and I am grateful for her services. She is amazing and I will use her again when I get to the point where I can get another animal (both are no longer here).”

Alexandra P.
“Alex watched my dogs while we went on a trip last summer! I have 2 golden retrievers and she kept me continually updated on how the dogs were doing, as they can be quite the little rascals. Alex made sure to play with them each day, and she spent plenty of time with them to make sure they didn't get lonely. The best part was that she sent lots of pictures of Aidan and Gracie (my dogs) throughout the week! Of note is the fact that Gracie can get anxious and panic when there are loud noises such as thunderstorms. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Alex because I knew that she would be able to calm Gracie down and spend time with her when she was feeling panicked. My family has asked Alex to watch our dogs every trip since last summer!”


Amanda K.
“Amanda has always taken such great care of my baby! She’s the person I trust most with the care of my dog and understands more than anything the level of love and care we all have for our fur babies. She takes the upmost care and joy taking care of my dog, understanding more than anything the trust and responsibility it is to care for another’s pet. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure all needs are met and I couldn’t be more grateful for such consistent and thorough care!”

Holly B.
“I've seen firsthand Finn's diligence and care for many different kinds of pets and breeds. She's taken care of my cat before and I've sat in a few times while she cared for her parents dogs and cats. When I leave my cat with her, I'm able to know that my cat is safe and in good hands. She's extremely knowledgeable to the point that I direct all my pet related questions to her!”

Celinda M.Star Sitter
“I met Celinda almost 10 years ago and right away. She became my best friend. I don’t have a lot of those in my life. I have a lot of trust issues so when I consider you a friend that means I trust you with my life in the life of the ones I love There’s no friend in the world. I consider better than Celinda. Your pets will always be in the best of hands as as long as I have known her she is always been the best fur baby mom and mom to her own daughter.
