“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: Animals have always had a special place in my heart! I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from an early age. I’ve been living in Park City for over two years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pet sitting for my employer when they travel. I also have long-term pet-sitting clients who have been booking with me for over a year. Building that kind of trust with both pets and their owners is something I really value. I don’t have pets of my own at the moment, which means I love getting to spend time with and care for other people’s furry family members. I’m attentive, dependable, and detail oriented, and I take pride in keeping a clean, comfortable environment. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I have a flexible work schedule that I manage myself, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m able to coordinate my schedule around your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s furry family member seriously and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust in both your home and with your pets. I’m naturally very clean and organized, so I make a point of keeping your home tidy and respecting your space and belongings. I follow your pet’s established routines, feeding instructions, and any specific care requests to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter environment with lots of cuddles. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are receiving loving, responsible care and that you can return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home.
“Stephanie was fantastic! She communicated well and sent photos everyday! She was great with our very active German shepherd! She also left the house perfectly clean. We will definitely use her again.”
“Cami did a fantastic job house sitting for my dog, who has some separation anxiety. She did a wonderful job making him comfortable, taking care of him, keeping him company, and most importantly, making sure he was safe and well cared-for. Cami is responsive, communicative, and responsible —- I will be trusting her with my home and my dog again!”
“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.”
About: I've grown up with pets, worked at a pet sitting company for a summer, follow pet care instructions, and understand they're your most prized possession and will therefore treat them with the utmost will love and care. I work Mon-Fri, 7am-4pm, and can take care of pets before or after work as well as during a lunch break as long as location is around 15 minutes away from work. I have grown up with pets, and love giving them attention. I will make sure they eat well, get plenty of exercise, and stay healthy and out of trouble.
About: I’ve been involved with various animal rescue organizations for more than 30 years and have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I’ve fostered many animals over the years and have helped with adoptions, medical visits, home visits, shelter assessments, and fundraising and community events. I’ve also personally rescued and cared for animals with health issues and have extensive experience with dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, or specialized care. I’m very active and love having dogs join me in the fun. I hike, bike, ski, and paddleboard, and I’m always happy to have a furry companion along for an adventure. Of course, I’m equally happy spending a quiet day at home with a dog curled up on the couch getting plenty of love and extra snuggles. My two senior dogs recently passed away, and I truly miss having dogs in my home. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to give your dog the same attention, affection, and care I’ve given my own. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to accommodate your pet's needs. I like to adhere to a schedule your pet is accustomed to. My pets were all indoor dogs, well taken care of, and slightly spoiled. They had regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I will adhere to your pet's regular schedule as much as possible.
“Razan was great with our pets! She has a very calm and welcoming energy and even our kids commented on how little our (very reactive) dog was phased by her meet & greet visit. Razan provided lots of updates, pics and videos. She is a wonderful sitter!”
“Lexi is the sweetest and my two pups immediately loved her! She left our house clean and locked up and sent so many pictures and videos. We were able to enjoy our vacation even that much more. We'll be booking again. :)”
“Mark was awesome with our three dogs! He was kind and patient, particularly with our fearful rescue. He had to navigate some very nervous evenings with fireworks going off and did so with so much compassion and care, including administering medication. He managed their complex relationships and personalities without missing a beat and we will be eager to have him back for future housesitting for our pups!”
“We are so happy Erika was able to watch our dog, Boss, while we were out of town for the weekend. She came over beforehand, got to meet Boss, and got a great idea of his daily routine- which we greatly appreciated! Throughout the weekend, we were kept constantly updated with a ton of pictures and can confidently recommend having Erika watch your 4 legged friend! Boss is a huge fan too 🐶”
“Eric and Candice were great. Took great care of our dog and our house. Having two of them was a bonus for us, especially with Candice working from (our) home. We are definitely going to be using them again.”
“Meisha was booked last minute as a backup for my normal house sitter. I was nervous having my home and doggos watched by someone new for the first time in years but Meisha was fantastic. She clearly took the time to get to know my dogs personalities and bond with them individually. My home was clean & dogs happy when I returned from my trip. Will book again!”
“She was perfect! Puppies were well loved and didn't even miss us 😅 We were able to go for such a long stretch and not worry about them! would definitely love to use her again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”
“Rah was fantastic with our cat again! He loves her and she is great about sending pictures! She’s very clean and takes great care of our home too! We already have her booked again! We highly recommend Rah!”
“I am very grateful that Jessica cared for and hung with my senior pup, Sky, over the Holiday. She was responsive, reliable, and communicated very well. I received frequent pictures of Sky, who definitely looked like she was enjoying herself. Most importantly, I felt at ease that she was in good hands and getting lots of love while I was away. Will certainly book Jessica as a sitter again!”
“Andrew was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially with our late arrival and changing plans. We returned to happy dogs and a home that was even cleaner than we left it- we would absolutely use Andrew again.”
About: I have had careers in taking care of horses, dogs and cats medically/training wise and more. I’ve grown up around animals all of my life! My schedule is open! I would just need your dates and plans of when you would need me to be at your service, I am very flexible. I am very attentive to detail when it comes to animals. I’m very attentive to when something is wrong and or what they need. I pay mass amounts of attention to the babies, and make sure they are well cared for and also behave through like put firm direction.
“Michelle is so awesome. Communication was perfect, took our whole crazy pack on daily walks while we were gone and even took care of our lizards. I already have her booked for another long trip.”

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 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.

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.
