“Jessi did a wonderful job watching our three dogs! They each received a lot of love from her, spending lots of time playing and cuddling. She is great at communicating and sent several updates and pictures during her stay. Would highly recommend.”
“This is my second time booking Sarah for house/dog sitting, and she’s great! This time I asked on pretty short notice, and she was available and accommodating to my schedule. Will definitely book again :)”

“Sarah took amazing care of my small, older dog during a 5 day trip! The frequent pictures and updates really made me feel comfortable leaving him with a house sitter for the first time. She's great at communication, is flexible and left the house is perfect condition. I'll be booking again.”

“Steph is an incredible person and I would not hesitate to have her watch our boy Bishop again!! She gave regular updates and piece of mind the whole time we were away! She left our house completely spotless and even left us the most amazing cookies to come home too! I couldn't recommend her enough. I think if Bishop could he would also say she was his new best friend! We hope to see her before we book in for our Christmas trip :)”

“Abby was fantastic! She came and met my pups prior to house sitting just to get acquainted. My aggressive pup absolutely loved her and she text me updates throughout the visit letting me know when she came to the house and when she left after her stay! Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!”

“Rachel was amazing!! She watched our 1yr old puppy, a 70lb sheepadoodle, and home while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She gave us videos and pictures and updates often, which was greatly appreciated as this was our first time being away from our Charlie. Charlie warmed up to Rachel in minutes, and I could tell I had nothing to worry about. Our home was as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left! Above and beyond what we could have asked for in a pet/house sitter. Rachel will be our number one choice next time we can't take the pup with us out of town. 5/5 stars!!!”

About: I know how much you love your pet and how hard it is to leave him/her with someone you trust. I’m the same way. I decided to join Rover when I had to leave my pup, and my family wasn't available to care for her. I found someone who ended up being a lifesaver, and I wanted to help in the same way. I have cared for dogs from puppies to older pups, and love each stage. I can also help with any special needs your furbaby might have. I have watched family, friends, & neighbors' pups for ages and volunteered at the Roger's Humane Society for years. Hi! My name is Rebecca. Two things about me make me a great pet sitter: 1) I love pets & 2) I'm home all day. I want your pet to feel right at home. I am fortunate to work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to adhere to your routine – whether that's set mealtimes or going for walks at a certain time each day – as well as plenty of time for lots of love and cuddles. I have a large home with a huge fenced-in yard and a Golden who loves to play. She's one of the reasons I joined. She's happiest when she has fur friends over and has never met a pup she doesn't like. Our home has a doggy door that leads into our large fenced-in yard, allowing your pup to go to the bathroom, go out and play, lie outside, and even sunbathe on the deck. It's completely up to them, and they can enjoy being outside whenever they want. I am happy to text and/or email with you as much as you would like, with lots of photos & videos – giving you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is not only safe, but they're having just as wonderful a time as you are.

“Kaitlin took wonderful care of our “Chonk”. She sent pictures of him enjoying his time with her. She was very quick with responses to any texts I sent. We would definitely have her take care of Chonk again!”

“I needed a sitter last minute as I changed my mind to board my dog (he’s 11 and getting pickier by the day). She was quick to respond, even came by the day before to meet up and kept me updated on how he was doing. Thanks again!”

About: Hey guys, sorry for making my brief so long! my name is Felix I’m 20, and this is my journey which led to my passion for dogs: Poverty paralyzes the faculty of reason, destroys the faculty of imagination, kills-self reliance, undermines enthusiasm, discourages Initiative, leads to uncertainty of purpose, encourages Procrastination and makes self-control impossible. Where does a socially starved child go to find love in such a cruel world? I went to the streets to find dogs… My first dog: I was walking home from elementary school on a hot, sunny day. I took a different route than I usually take and saw a pit tied up in the alley way. With excitement I ran towards him and started playing with him. As I was getting up to leave a guy came out of the corner and asked “do you want him?” I said “what?!” And then he said “do you want the dog?” I was 10 and thought that everyone who had a dog was rich. I thought they cost millions of dollars! but here is a guy asking me if I want a beautiful dog. I was completely speechless.. I replied, “You're lying, you're not giving me this dog for free?!” he then said “do you want him or not?” I will never forget the feeling of untying him off that pole and walking away with him. On my way out of the alleyway I shouted “ I’m taking him!..” “I’m walking awayyyy!…” hoping he’d break character. I got home and I was extremely excited, reminiscing about the future with my first dog! Thankfully my mom wasn’t home yet, so I had to think of a way to convince her to let me keep him. His name was Pete, because he was white and had a brindle patch on his eye like “Pete” from the little rascals. Then my mom came home.. I couldn’t hide him because he was too big so I had no choice but to reveal him, she immediately started running away. I'm a first generation African American, meaning my mom didn’t grow up with “pets” . It wasn't the norm to have an animal as a companion- to them it was abnormal. I couldn’t stop laughing as Pete chased her around the house but my mind immediately retreated back to the fear of losing my first dog. I gave her all the benefits of having a pet and pleaded to her that I will take care of him! including the part that they’re very good with Kids Note* I have 9 siblings; being 10 and poor I didn’t have anyone else to help me raise a dog. Which came with tragic consequences. I did not know Pete’s background beyond the alleyway and when I found it was too late. Pete was abused by his previous owners… One day I was walking him and met a friend who had a couple friends over and there was a girl who started taunting Pete. He immediately turned into a different dog, launching at her. Being 10 years old with a 100+ pound pit, I was practically a toy to him, he dragged me and bit her wrist… breaking it. I eventually got him off, but they called the police. Out of shock and fear of losing him I ran away from the scene. The police searched for me and Pete for a week. I didn't tell my mom because I was scared of losing him, It was just me and him Vs the world we did everything together! He never lied, hit or cheated me, he loved and played with me even when he had no dog food! A true companion he was. Finally the police went to my elementary school. I came home from school searching everywhere for him, but couldn't find him, I didn’t think of it as a big deal beliving my mom finally grew accustomed to him and took him out. I sat in the chair and waited for her to come home. At the instant of hearing the back door open I ran to her in excitement ready to hug my dog but she walked in alone, I asked “where Pete was?” and she replied “the shelter came and got him” I didn't even get to say goodbye to him! I begged them to take me to see him, but they never did. Two months passed and the shelter finally called, breaking the news that they had to put him down because he was sick. It felt like my whole world had just collapsed. I begged my mom to tell them he wasn’t sick. He just misses me but she wasn’t a big fan of dogs from the beginning, I still remember sitting on the stairs crying. I couldn’t control those youthful ocean of tears. A feeling that if I reflect upon for too long still impacts me till this day. Something birthed in me to possess that feeling of an unconditonal companion. That led to me finding 9 more dogs. If I wrote you guys a story about each of them, this would be a literal chapter book. So I will give their names, if you would like to know about each of them feel free to reach out Here are their names: Ava,Teddy, Blanca, Snowy, Princess,Teddy, Sasha, Ezekiel and Milo Some passed away, some were rehomed, and some were taken by the shelter. I found myself in a world that pushed me to search for love in broken places. If life is the greatest teacher then I had to understand that I was my own boss. I learned not to bring or leave things in places that lack the resources to give them value, Especially special creatures like dogs. I recently just moved to northwest Arkansas with my 3 legged french bulldog (Saqkou). He has a life I could’ve only dreamt of giving my other dogs. With this heart posture your best friend is in the best hands! Thank you for reading! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my day around consistency, with morning and evening walks, regular check-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment with responsible supervision at all times. I live in a friendly neighborhood, follow leash safety, respect client instructions, and prioritize cleanliness, communication, and trust in my home or a client’s home.
About: I recently started my own house/pet sitting business when the veterinary clinic I worked for decided to shut down overnight boarding. I had worked for the clinic for almost 4 years and most of the regular clients absolutely loved me. I became busy quite fast, and when I finally left the clinic to work elsewhere, I took a lot of those clients with me, simply because of how well their pets know me and how well I take care of them. My primary job is a technician for a poop scooping company and I absolutely love it. I hope to blend both jobs together. I have 16 years of professional work with animals including veterinary hospitals, non profit rescues, 1 year of vet tech schooling.
“Kate was flexible with our travel plans and has excellent communication skills. We felt comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and we would seek her out if we ever needed a pet sitter in Santa Fe again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brightwater on Rover is $30 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 539 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brightwater. 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 Brightwater 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 Brightwater 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 Brightwater 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
