“Melissa was such a blessing! She took the best care of our sweet Lucy. I knew Lucy was comfortable and in great hands because she ate her food everyday and usually she skips days because she’s anxious when we’re gone. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates and photos, too.”
“Ms Heather was a God send! She was great with our furry babies, we could not have asked for a better experience from any individual or company. We are looking forward to her services in the very near future!”
“Kylee was so incredible!!! She watched 4 dogs for a whole week and took such good care of them. She was super responsive and gave me updates! It also was super rainy the last few days and with 4 dogs and our yard is super muddy/ floors not good with mud and dog fur, we fully expected to walk into a filthy house but to our surprise the house was spotless. She went above and beyond to make the house look amazing even in the rain! We really appreciate it and will be absolutely be using her again in the future for any needs we have!”
About: Hi there! My name is Tiffani and I am a pet parent of 4! I absolutely love animals and hope to care for your fur babies. I have a background in psychology, biology and holistic health. All of my fur babies are rescues, so I have worked with pets from all different backgrounds. I am very thorough in my report cards and always willing to go the extra mile. My family always had pets growing up and friends and family, always had me watch their pets on vacation. Pet care fits in to my daily routine pretty easily. I am very flexible in my time most days and am willing to work around the pet parents schedule if they need. When it comes to caring for your fur babies, I will take care of them as if they were my own. Regardless of the service there will be a thorough report of their walk, potty recording, pictures, and if requested feeding schedules, mail pickup, water refilling, and waste disposal and let’s not forget TREATS for the babies.
“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”
“Just had Kitty stay with our two dogs for a few days. First time for us having someone come to the home and it could not have gone smoother. She was there all the times she said she would be & provided pictures and great communication. She went over and above in her care for them. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. I will definitely use Kitty again.”
About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience owning and caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I have cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, gaining a strong understanding of daily routines, exercise needs, and gentle senior care. My experience includes walking & jogging, feeding, administering medications, and providing calm, attentive care. I am comfortable managing multiple pets in the same household and always prioritize safety, consistency, and affection. Dogs have been a part of my family for decades, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Now that I am retired, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I'm full-time which allows me to plan days around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in around work or other obligations. Walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship are spread throughout the day, so pets get consistent attention and aren't left alone for long periods. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate medications, special feeding times, and multiple pets. I enjoy the structure that caring for pets brings to my day, and I make it a priority to follow each pet's normal routine, so they feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods. Since I'm retired and home most of the time, I'm able to give pets consistent attention and quickly notice any changes in behavior or health. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. I use leashes and safety precautions on walks and make sure doors, gates and living areas are secure at all times. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping the space clean, organized, and stress-free. My goal is to create a safe, familiar environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident, they have left their pets in trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, I also have trained many puppies and older dogs in different ways! Ask for more information! :) I work during the day although after work and before work I am more than happy to check in on your pet! Even include walks! I care for pets in homes with care as the owner would! Treats, Long Walks, Training on basic tasks, hygiene maintenance and time to relax
“Alonnie is amazing! Finley was totally bonded with her within 24 hours even though he can be reserved around new people. She gave regular updates and was great throughout the visit. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have one year of experience walking and house sitting dogs professionally. I can work with many different types of dogs. I have an enthusiasm for any type of dog. I’m currently working completely as a pet walker/sitter, so I have full availability for your pet care! Let me know which days work best for you! I will use your houses resources to feed, train, and exercise the dog. Let me know which of your items are allowed to be used during my sitting for dog purposes.
“Amy is fantastic! She watched our cat, Black Fury, for a week and did an incredible job. She’s a “cat whisperer” who managed to win over our shy boy, and her daily photos/updates, kept us smiling. She also went above and beyond by keeping the house tidy, taking out the trash and bringing in our deliveries. Coming home to a clean house and a happy cat was the perfect end to our trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve worked full time with animals for 7 years now. This includes doggy daycare/boarding, animal shelters, & shadowing at vet clinics! I’ve fed, administered medications, groomed, supervised daycare groups, and cared for thousands (yes, thousands 😅) of dogs and cats. I currently work part time, for only 4 hours each shift. With that being said, I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I genuinely love animals. My main goal is to give them the care & love they normally receive from you. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your fur babies! I have no problem giving multiple updates or whatever is needed in order for you to feel more comfortable about your pet's safety & happiness.
About: Even as a kid I was taking care and spending time with my elderly dog Rusty, so dog care comes naturally to me. I will always stay with your pet and make sure they are always happy, fed, and full of love! I'm currently working between 25-40 hours but my relationship with my employer is amazing, I can request a schedule change or even take days off for when you need me I will always be attentive and aware to your pets needs and ensure they will never feel neglected and are given the love and care they more than deserve!

About: Hey, I'm Taylor and I have been a pet sitter since my 10th birthday. My love for all things furry has brought me a plethora of animals over the years, much to my sister's dismay. Squirrels, ferrets, dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, turtles, fish... Pretty much anything that crossed my path became my new fixation. I love to take care of, train, and bond with animals. There's an ongoing joke in my family that I take care of the "lost boys". 3 legs on chemo? Back legs stopped working? Insulin shots every 12 hours? None of it phases me. I'm happy to do anything for any fur baby. Medications, injections, and simple grooming are all included with my prices. I can accommodate for all pets. Please let me know at booking what your needs are and we can create a care plan together. My goal is always to make the stay as seemless as possible. Keeping your pet on their schedule relieves stress and makes the stay a happier experience, perfect for peace of mind during long getaways. I am lucky enough to work from home out of my stained glass studio. My flexible schedule allows me to cater my schedule to your pets stay. I offer in-home sitting and drop-ins to make for a more comfortable stay for your pets. I am happy to offer light house keeping including mail, plants, and always pet waste clean up.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 175 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.
