“James did a great job caring for my dog and cat while I was away on vacation. He is very naturally comfortable with dogs. He sent us updates throughout our trip. We came home to a clean house and happy pets.”
About: Currently offering dog walking and boarding services but open to other short-term services as well. I love going on hikes, visiting parks, lakes, and playing outside, especially with pets. Currently living in Park City, which offers endless trails and many parks. I have a full time job which allows employees to bring their pets to work so your buddy can be my side during the day. I was a former dog owner for 16 years, so I am aware and experienced in all life stages. I have also babysat dogs for friends and family, which was up to 4 dogs at once. Some of them had special meal needs that I was able to follow. I would love to host your pet and make it the best experience possible. I'm currently working full time in SLC but my company allows employees to bring dogs to work. During the weekends I am mostly home with the exception of running errands or enjoying the outdoors. I live in a condo at the base of Park City Mountain Resort. I have an elevator which makes access very easy so stairs will not be encountered. Your pet will enjoy their own bed and toys. If you are comfortable, I am able to bring a dog to work during the day in Salt Lake City.

“Daniella took such wonderful care of my dog and home. She followed every direction perfectly, paid close attention to all the little details, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog felt safe, comfortable, and loved the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and thoughtfulness she showed, and I would wholeheartedly trust her again. She was so sweet and loving and sent us the best photos and updates. Amazing in every way❤️”
“Dylan was awesome! He was communicative and very flexible which made him a great choice for caring for our dogs on a highly unpredictable timeline. He’s very easy-going and did great with our dogs.”
“Leigh took great care of my little Paddington and I appreciated all the photos and updates. It’s always a little scary to leave your fur baby with someone, and it means a lot to find someone you can trust!”
About: I have grown up with big and small dogs and have always loved them. I make sure to be very attentive to any dog I am with, bringing them on lots of walks, and hanging with them. I am an online student with a flexible schedule. This allows me to be very attentive to your dog, lots of walks, lots of hanging nearby. I take great care of pets. I make sure they get the exercise they need, and the time spent just hanging out close by. I think most dogs love to be around people as much as they can, and I make that happen!
About: Hello I am 24 year old massage therapist who works in PC but lives in Sandy. Benji and I are a package deal. When I do house visits Benji will come with me :) Benji is my soulmate I got him when I was 17. we went to puppy classes but other than that he is trained by me. He is a very polite well behaved gentleman. I grew up with dogs and they have always been part of my life. I understand that your dog is your whole life that is why I promise to give them the best care possible. I believe that dogs give us unconditional love, that is why my goal in caring for your dog is to give them that unconditional love right back. Dogs deserve a space where there is no extra stress so they can play and grow. It is my duty as an animal lover to provide that space for your best friend. Benji and I enjoy a nice walk with a cup of coffee every morning. On the days I work he sits at home on the couch. When I come home the first thing we do is go to the nearest park for ball time. When I go to a clients home I make sure that the pet has access to plenty of clean fresh water and food. I am client based and will happily care to your pets needs whether they want to snuggle on the couch or play fetch or go on a nice big walk. I will make sure to help them feel less anxious while you are away.
About: Hello, my name is Reed. I’m a 25-year-old student and former Kennel Technician with hands-on experience in dog sitting, daycare, and boarding on my off days. Over the past year, I’ve also worked professionally leading off-leash group hikes using e-collars, managing 15–17 dogs at a time on dog-friendly trails and parks. This role has given me advanced skills in safe pack management, recall training, and e-collar handling. When your pup is with me, you can count on structured exercise, socialization, and fun adventures at dog parks and on dog-friendly trails. I’ll also make sure you receive high-quality photos of your pet so you can see them enjoying their day. I’ve been formally trained on dog behavior and care through PackPro and the Dog Handler Academy, and I continue to build on that knowledge every day. Feel free to reach out and book a date—I’d love to give your dog the care, attention, and adventure they deserve. I work at the pet resort Sunday-Tuesday and Thursdays. If needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do a late overnight stay for a discount. In the house, I can board a family and give medicine oral or injections. I go to dog parks often, and usually take them outside every hour to an hour and a half. The only requirement is having a dog that is friendly so my dog stays safe as well.
About: My name’s Chris and I’m a nursing student and animal lover! I’ve had 4 cats over the course of my life with varying medical needs, from prescription diets to daily oral medication. I also love dogs and have spent lots of time around dogs, and I’d love to take care of yours :) I’m currently a student so my schedule is pretty flexible from now until January! My schedule will look different after January, but I should know more as January approaches. I can feed your furry friends, play with them, administer their medications, crate them, take them for walks, comfort them, give them treats, and anything else your friend may need while my services are needed!
“Dave is a true animal lover! Nacho immediately bonded to Dave (fell asleep in his arms the entire time he was here meeting us!). Dave was so quick to respond to my request (within several minutes) and scheduled time to come meet Nacho and I the very next day. He was communicative, prompt, and most importantly, took excellent care of Nacho. We are SO happy to have met Dave! He will be our go-to going forward. Thank you, Dave!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I’m a veteran who enjoys spending time with animals as they resonate with me and give me peace. I’m here to give your family the same love and attention that I give mine. I have 2 dogs of my own, Bear and Milo! I’m flexible with your schedule. I’m a Ranger part time and own my own business so I’m able to navigate your time. I work around your schedule and however best you would like me to help. I live full time in an RV so I have to take extra care of my animals to ensure they are getting enough walks and always on leash. I’m very comfortable with animals and ensuring that they are living their best life!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,680 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
