“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: I’ve spent years training and living with dogs, including strong-willed and independent breeds such as Huskies and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Those experiences have taught me that there isn’t one training method or approach that works for every animal. What works for one dog may completely miss the mark with another. What I’ve learned is that the key is understanding the individual animal—its personality, communication style, energy level, boundaries, and what makes it feel confident and secure. My goal isn’t to change an animal into something it isn’t, but to find the approach that allows it to thrive within its own environment and alongside its family’s routines. I think that perspective is what makes me different as a sitter. I’m observant, patient, and comfortable adapting to each pet rather than expecting every pet to adapt to me. I also understand that caring for a home is part of caring for the animals who live there. I respect their routines, their space, and their home, and I take pride in leaving things clean, secure, and well cared for. Ultimately, I want owners to feel confident that while they’re away, their pets are not simply being watched—they’re being genuinely understood and cared for. After relocating to Utah, I’m currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and the opportunity to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy, being around animals. I’ve always loved having animals as part of my daily life, and I’ve realized how much I miss that connection. Pet sitting feels like a wonderful way to bring that back while also helping other people feel confident that their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. I genuinely enjoy being there for animals, whether that means a long walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I love helping others with their pets because I know how important they are to their families, and I treat that responsibility with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m naturally respectful, tidy, and attentive, and I understand that house sitting is about more than simply being there. I’ll treat your home with care, keep things clean and secure, and make sure it continues to feel lived in and well looked after. Combined with my experience caring for animals, I’m able to give both your pets and your home the attention they deserve while you’re away.
“I can't recommend Madison enough! She is fantastic. She's stayed at our house several times to watch our goldendoodle Lucie while we were out of town. I never worry about Lucie when she's with Madison! They have a great time together and I truly feel that Madison goes above and beyond! She's responsive, honest, trustworthy, responsible, and very loving towards Lucie. She is our go-to sitter and we're so happy to have found her!”

“Lindsay’s care and connection with my pets is truly so special. I feel completely at ease leaving town knowing they’re in such loving, attentive hands while I’m away. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares for animals, and my pets are always calm, happy, and loved when they’re with her.”

“angie is awesome! she stayed at my house and took care of my little terrier. she gave him plenty of exercise and sent me lots of pics every day--best communication ever from a dogsitter. i came home to a happy dog and a spotless home. definitely recommend.”

“I can’t even begin to tell you how great Kirk is. Part of me doesn’t want to, because he’ll get busier than he is even now. The care he gave our pets was more than I could expect. They love him. If you’re like me, coming home is one of the best parts of any vacation. We came home to a cleaner home than we left. Not only did he change his own sheets and towels and launder them. He performed other tasks that needed to be done. We’re getting older, and some tasks are harder for us than before. Kirk took care of them.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and my husband and I are currently raising our own mini Aussie named Waffle:) I am local to park city and am super active, love taking dogs on walks, hikes, etc. I have a work from home 9-5 job that allows me to be around your pets all day and take them out throughout the day as needed. Your pet will have my full attention! To me, pets are part of the family and I treat them as such (which usually means they get a little bit spoiled)
“Mckenzie took great care Housesitting for our energetic retriever. She did a nice job of communicating with us which made being away easy. Definitely will be asking her to sit again.”

“Makensie is wonderful! She is great with our dog! She stayed with while we went out of town for the weekend. He is afraid of thunder and she held him and got him through the storm . She was very responsive and left the house I. Great condition. I would highly recommend her!”

“Sarah took great care of my five month old puppy. She got him out to parks and took him with her to meet the children she interacts with at her job. I am very happy with her and will definitely use her again”

“Rachel is amazing!!!! She took care of my 2 cats and puppy. Not only did she show them lots of love and attention but continued to reinforce the training schedule with my puppy which can be a lot of work! I also appreciate how she treated my home as she would her own! I would highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs back to health, fostered dogs, and I have taught high schoolers how to take care of cats and dogs alike. I’m currently working as a teacher. Weekends are preferable if you want 24 hour attention, but I can do more simple things on the weekdays, like walks, and check ins through out the week after 5pm or on lunch breaks if close by! I live in an apartment, where there is a dog park and plenty of places to walk. I have no pets of my own, so I look forward to be around lots of fur babies
“Stephanie was fantastic! Updated us often and kept our home clean. She even went out of her way to let our pup out after her checkout time due to delays in our travel. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Meisha did an amazing job watching Pongo! Her communication was 10/10, which gave me so much peace of mind, especially since we were going to be out of service for a few days. We came home to a clean house and a calm, happy dog. She provided lots of updates and was very respectful of Pongo’s initial uncertainty, giving him the space and time to warm up to her at his own pace.”

About: I will hike, mountain bike, trail run, paddle board or just walk with your dog to let them let loose of all their energy. Whatever your dog needs, I got it! My schedule is completely free! Currently in Physical Therapy school, but I have online classes the rest of summer! Whenever you need dog care, it works for me! I treat your pets/home as my own. I leave places better than what I found them. I currently cannot take your pets in my home due to living in an apartment.

About: I grew up LOVING dogs and cats and honestly all sorts of animals . I dont have any official training in veterinary practices, but I do feel I do know quite a bit of taking care of animals and making them feel safe and loved . I have two beagles I helped my father raise after we got them from a rescue and they are the best part of my life. I love animals I hope you consider me to animals sit so I can just spend time loving on animals. 😁👍 (I list my experience mainly caring for my beagles but I promise ive been caring for dogs for more than three years) I honestly love spending as much of my day taking care of dogs as I physically can, weather thats bringing them with me places, playing in the yard, or just giving pets. I always try to be with the animal (because as much is i love em sometimes they can get into trouble if not watched) I always make sure I know if foods are safe for animals first off no matter what if I dont know. Even if its treats honestly I still like to read for a second or two. Always make sure areas are safe too, make sure things are picked up so nothing can be grabbed by a doggo, and also if im letting them out to go potty I always keep track of where they are especially at night because things happen to fences all the time and dogs are smart.

“Dylan has stayed at our house to take care of our chocolate lab and cat many times. He’s always responsive, sends updates, and takes great care of our pets and homes. Thank you, Dylan!”

“Jonah did an amazing job watching our dogs at our house while we were on vacation! He kept us updated and the dogs were happy and the house looked untouched when we returned! I would highly recommend him to everyone!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brighton on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,677 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.
