“Very happy with our choice to have Angela stay with our pup during the day so that we could work and not worry about him while he recovers from surgery. She put our minds at ease knowing someone was with him when we can’t be. She was very nice and would send us text updates throughout the day.”
About: With 7+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m confident handling everything from large, high-energy breeds to senior pets who need extra patience. I offer overnight care, stick closely to routines, and am comfortable administering medications. I believe pets thrive with consistency, attention, and a calm, confident presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. I have a flexible schedule and am available for weekday and weekend drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I prefer drop-ins and house sitting, but I can offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. I prioritize consistency and plan my day to ensure each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and routine care. I prioritize a safe and structured environment for every pet in my care. Because I have resident animals, I only offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. Introductions are done carefully and supervised at all times. Outdoor time is always monitored, and I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and home routines closely. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are extremely important to me.
“Absolutely perfect first house sitting stay with our pup. Great communication, excellent care of our pup and our house. Really good guy, we definitely recommend that he take care of your pets.”
About: I’ve always grown up taking care of dogs and have loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet the same way I would my own. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away I’m flexible and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or bedtime routines, I’m happy to follow your instructions. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and house rules. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Adel is the best! He has watched our pups numerous times and always does an amazing job. The dogs love him and we feel good knowing that we can travel without stress because we know they are happy and well taken care of. He also takes great care of the house and even did laundry! Would recommend him 100%”
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, rabbits, and hamsters, I provide loving, reliable pet care. I foster for MAS and rescue strays, and I’ve been house sitting for pets for 15 years. I will ensure your home is respected, I will bring your mail and packages in as well as taking out the garbage can when needed. I have no problem cleaning out turtle tanks, small animal enclosures, and more! I promise your pet will be treated as my own and showered in affection. I am Student Nurse and I am trained in various forms of emergency care. Your babies will be in good hands! I am a Nursing Student in the medical district. I am available to do drop ins, walks, play dates, and more. I believe in keeping pets at home when their family is away. I find that animals are less stressed this way as opposed to being in a new environment alone. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and lots of love and attention. If your pet needs medication, I’m experienced with oral, topical, and injectable treatments and always follow your exact instructions. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“We love having Magnolia watch our pets in our house when we’re out of town. One of our cats has a health issue and we feel so comfortable with Magnolia watching her. When we got home the kitties were happy, bowls were full, and house was clean. Thank you!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and lizards throughout my lifetime. I have frequently dog sat for my sister’s goodlendoodle and poodle over the years. I am a teacher so weekends I am available for boarding after 3:30 on Fridays. I am also available to stay in homes as well. I have a large fenced in yard for your dogs to enjoy and play in. I currently have no animals in my home. I have a great neighborhood for walks.
“Melissa did a great job with Norma. She kept me updated throughout her stay and kept Norma safe, happy, and healthy. Thank you! Would love to have Melissa back again for care for my dog!”
About: Animals are a major part of my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child, and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family's pets, friend's pets, and volunteering over the years. I am currently in grad school and focusing on that, so I am home full time during the week. This leaves me plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I have a fenced-in yard with two fur babies of my own to play with yours, if they’re friendly! If not, my babies are crate trained.
About: I’ve always taken care of dogs, mine, my families, and friends. They life exciting, there’s simply not much better than the smiles they give me. I train part time. I have plenty of time in between sessions so it is just perfect for my schedule and daily routine. As well as flexibility. I have a fenced in yard at my dads with a Great Dane, and I have to walk my moms maltipoo and morkie. I’ve also always had a cat or 2 and even a few reptiles. Nothing scares me so I can do it all 🤣.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 385 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
