“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 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)
“It’s such a joy to be able to leave our pets in such good hands. Makenzie is a fantastic housesitter. We have 2 large dogs and a cat. They ask us to go on vacation so they can see Makenzie again and again. 100 percent satisfaction every time.”

“Madison was sweet, accommodating and communicated very thoroughly. I loved getting plenty of pictures and updates about my pups! My dogs are larger and finicky eaters so it was nice to hear they ate all their meals while I was gone! Thank you !”

“Jayson & Alexa were fantastic! They did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our two labs and one cat. They spent quality time with the dogs and cat. Our aloof cat even warmed up to them within a few days! Our labs loved them too. Jayson’s communication was on point. I heard from him every day and got photos and videos of our happy pets. I highly recommend them and would hire them again anytime.”


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 have taken care of animals large and small since I was a child. I have experience volunteering at two animal shelters and a wildlife rehabilitation facility, working with dogs, rabbits, and birds. Currently, I own a mini Australian shepherd named Arrow who is a bundle of energy. I am a distance runner and enjoy taking high energy pups out on walks and runs. I have availability on weekdays and weeknights. I do travel frequently, so I am not always in the Heber City area. Check my calendar for details. I am experienced at providing pet care and am diligent with paying attention to details to ensure pet safety. I also work professionally as an EMT and am comfortable providing emergency first aid to pets if needed.
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.
“We rested easy on our trip knowing Leigh was taking such great care of Bo! We even had a mishap before our trip, but Leigh met with me ahead of time to ensure everything went smoothly. We had lots of updates and Bo seemed to have a great time while we were gone.”

“Lexi was an amazing sitter! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and was flexible with our schedule. She was familiar with medication administration and comfortable helping us with this. She was really good with our sweet girl, Rose loved her! Would definitely book Lexi again in the future and recommend her to others.”

About: Hello, My name is Kennedy and I recently earned my bachelors degree from the university of Utah and I love animals! I have always been around animals and have cared for them growing up. I have also watched and taken care of other dogs while in college to earn extra income. I’m used to administering medication (dog epilepsy, diabetes, etc.), walking, feeding, and giving them the love and affection that they need. I work 30 hours/week as a therapist, but my schedule is very flexible. I never get off later than 5 pm and I have openings in between sessions throughout the day. I am willing to also stay overnight if needed and am open to being flexible to whatever you and your animals needs are! I also would host your dog at my house if need me :) I want it to be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby!
“This is the second time we have used Jessica and we are always very assured. She is super communicative and very accommodating. She understands what it’s like to leave pets in the care of others and for us, she has experience with Frenchies which have to be cared for in a certain way. We didn’t leave our frenchies tjis trip but we would have no issue doing so. She’s amazing!”

“Brody was great and did an amazing job looking after our two little guys while we were out of town. He was with them frequently, sent us updates daily, and took care of our home. We would definitely use him again!”

“Andrew was an excellent sitter. He was attentive and communicative and very loving to our two senior pups. They are not without their elderly baggage and he cared for them as we would’ve. He also does great pet photography and was very respectful of our home during his stay. We look forward to using him again in the future!”

About: I’m an animal welfare professional with years of shelter work experience. I am fear-free certified and specially trained working with behaviorally complex animals using positive reinforcement techniques. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, safe, and confident. And to give you the peace of mind they are with a paw-professional (literally… that’s my job.) I love people just as much as pets and am so excited to expand my work to pet sitting! I’ll send high quality photos/videos/updates without you having to ask. And I’ll always bring their favorite high value treats with me for visits, walks, and boarding. I work from home running an online rabbit welfare directory, so I can set my own schedule! I consider animal care a hobby of mine and it’s a part of my daily life! Trust and safety is always first! I have ten years of experience with animals (really 22 because I’ve had pets since being alive!) and years of professional shelter animal welfare experience as well. I am fear-free certified so I understand complex behaviors. I know when an animal may be becoming anxious and have the skill set to make animals comfortable using positive reinforcement. I practice defensive dog walking always, because you don’t know every dog! It’s like defensive driving- but for dogs. And in my career I’ve worked with honestly hundreds of behaviorally complex cats and dogs. And have never been bit or scratched. Which is a huge brag for shelter work. I always want your animal to feel safe and under their stress threshold. And I want you to feel safe as well! I care about people as much as I care about animals and will always go above and beyond to make sure you can trust me with your best furry friend. I won’t be a stranger, trust is built and I would love to build it with you!
“We had Staci stay with our Pittie, Jax, in our home, for 15 days. She came over for a meet and greet before we departed and Jax took to her immediately. Staci was dependable, neat, and trustworthy. She took such great care of Jax, even let him sleep with her. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were gone. We came home to find not only a happy dog, but a clean house too. I would definitely rebook with Staci and would recommend her to anyone.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brighton is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $32 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,654 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 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.
