About: Hello everyone! I am a work from home mom and two dogs of my own. I’ve been a massive animal lover my whole life, and there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than hanging out with animals. Whether your dog needs a high-energy buddy for walks or a calm companion to cuddle with during a house sit, I’m your person. I get that leaving your pet can feel a little stressful, so my main goal is to make sure they feel totally safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m big on communication, so you can always count on plenty of cute photo and video updates to show you how much fun we're having! I am currently a stay at home mom to three kiddos and two fur babies. My dogs go out first thing even before my coffee. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time each day to walks, outdoor time, and exercise for your fur baby. I have two fur babies, one is good combination of spunky and old, our other is handicap so I have experience with older dogs also
“Kalee was a great pet sitter! She took care of both my dog and cat and followed instructions well with feeding schedule and potty schedule. My dog had an accident inside and was able to handle it professionally and I would gladly have her back to watch them again.”

“Erika is phenomenal! We feel so lucky that she was willing to house sit & watch our 3 dogs. Between their struggle with potty training and their nervous personalities, they can be a handful - but Erika took it all in stride. She has a very calming personality and our dogs took to her much more quickly than they usually do with strangers. She kept us well updated with photos and notes, and left our house in excellent condition. We would absolutely recommend Erika’s services to others and hope she is available to watch our dogs again in the future.”

About: I grew up with animals! I have had a dog in my home since I was born and I believe that they are truly a part of the family. I work full time, so I am happy to help with your furry friend for overnights and weekends! I can do afternoon check ins on my break depending on location. I do not currently have any pets, so I am able to give all my attention to yours :) I am a runner and stay active - so I can take hyperactive dogs for a run or to the park for some exercise!
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.
About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available almost every day with a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Happy to work around your preferred drop-off, pick-up, walking, or sitting times. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a caring, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention and supervision.

About: My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog "Griffey" and cat "Miss Kitty", along with pets belonging to friends and family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a calm presence, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease. I joined Rover because I miss having my dog in my everyday life. He is currently staying with my parents back home in north-central Kansas. My dad’s health isn’t the best, and my dog brings him a great deal of comfort, so I know he is where he needs to be for now. I return home about once a month to visit them. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Best Shawn Phelps I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can often accommodate short-notice requests and easily work around your pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I will follow each pet’s normal routine, carefully secure doors and gates, respect the client’s home, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs but prefers not to be around other cats. Because of that, I would care for cats in their own homes but may welcome dogs into mine after a meet-and-greet. I’m flexible and always willing to discuss the safest arrangement for each pet.

About: I have two babes of my own and they are amazingly smart and loyal and will furrrrever love your babes like my own and keep them safe Iam currently working part time and have time to incorporate pet sitting into my daily routine I would love to add more time for your babes My two babes have a big back yard, fenced!

About: A calm, loving home where your dog gets to be part of the family 🐾🌿 My days are a mix of kids, dogs, nature, and a little controlled chaos. 😂 I homeschool my kids, work with dogs at Zen Dog Training, and spend as much time outside as I can. Dogs staying with me naturally become part of our everyday routine. Your dog won't be sitting in a kennel all day or treated like just another booking. They’ll hang out with us, get plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, exercise, and lots of downtime in a calm home environment. I’m a nurse by trade, so I’m naturally pretty attentive to the little things. Safety, routines, medications, behavior changes, and making sure everyone is comfortable are all things I take seriously. I’ve also spent years caring for and working with dogs, including nervous dogs, high energy dogs, seniors, and dogs who just need a little extra patience. What your dog can expect here: 🐾 Lots of companionship and attention 🌿 Walks and outdoor time when appropriate 🧠 Play and mental enrichment 🛋️ Plenty of quiet time to relax 💊 Medication and routine care when needed ❤️ Care based on your dog’s personality and needs I really enjoy getting to know each dog's personality. Some dogs want to be outside sniffing everything and involved in absolutely everything we do. Other dogs would rather find a cozy spot on the couch and spend the day napping. Both are totally welcome here. Working in professional dog training has also taught me a lot about reading body language and understanding when a dog needs space, structure, stimulation, or just some time to settle in. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or time away without worrying about how your dog is doing. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like an individual and make them part of the family while they're here, I'd love to meet you both and see if we're a good fit! 🐾 I’m a remote worker with a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day. I’m able to give dogs frequent potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of time to settle in and relax. I also keep my calendar updated so my availability is accurate. I’m home most of the day, so your dog gets lots of companionship and attention instead of being left alone for long stretches. My kids love dogs, but interactions are always supervised and I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and boundaries. I keep things calm and structured, with frequent potty breaks, play, enrichment, and exercise based on what your dog is comfortable with. I also work professionally with dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language and handling different temperaments.
About: Hello. I’m Becca. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve picked up a natural sense for what makes them happy and comfortable. My friendly pup helps me welcome every dog like they’re part of the pack. I just genuinely love animals, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of fun, attention, and affection. I’m very picky on who I choose to watch my dog because him being very high anxiety and needy.So I understand a dog or cat parent wanting to the best care and I can provide that. I currently work an 8–3 corporate job and have weekends and holidays off, so my schedule is pretty flexible. In my spare time, I really want to do something meaningful that helps others and what better way than supporting fellow dog and cat parents when they need an extra hand? Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love being able to make life a little easier for both pets and their people. I would like to keep the animals in an environment they are comfortable in if possible I know how my two dogs are when they’re not home. They’re very high anxiety and so I’m fine with dog sitting or dropping in where they are home and in their own comfort zone.
About: Hello! I’m Casey. I had a baby in March and am currently staying home with her and our old lady Edie, a bichon frise. I love animals and my little girl and I would love to help you out during the day! I know from experience how hard it is leaving your animals unattended while you’re at work, or finding a trusted sitter to help when you’re out of town. My availability is fairly open for now, and I try to stay flexible for my clients. I am happy to take your dog for walks or play/ feed as well. I am also open and available to help with cats! :) I am currently staying at home with my little one, so I have open availability to travel to your home and help with your pet! I am happy to help in any way you wish! I can feed, play with, and walk your pet, or even just check to make sure you turned off the coffee pot! I am reliable and will always leave the house secure and as I found it. I am happy to send photos as well!
“Elijah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away for over two weeks. He took the time to meet our pets beforehand, which made us feel comfortable leaving them in his care. Throughout our trip, he sent regular pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind. His schedule required a little flexibility on a few days, but he communicated well, and it had no impact on our pets' care. We came home to happy, healthy animals and had no issues with our home. We really appreciate the care Elijah provided and will definitely be using him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have a corgi, and have grown up with dogs my whole life! I love dog sitting, dog walking, and all of the above. Let me come pet your dog please! I am a college student with an extremely flexible class and work schedule. I am studying Nursing and have plenty of time to spend studying with your furry ones! I think it is so important that pets are nurtured as family, because they are after all! I want to spend time with your pets just as I do my own.

About: I love spending time with dogs. I’ve taken care of family members pets and they say I do a great job. My dog, Daisy, says I’m a good friend to any puppies. I’m currently unemployed but I do DoorDash on the side. I want to make more money to save. I always make sure my dog is happy, watered, and take her outside for potty breaks. I’ll make sure that your dogs are happy, well fed, have plenty of water, take them outside for lots of potty breaks, and entertained with their favorite toys and treats.
“Gracie was wonderful start to finish! I was pretty nervous about having someone other than family dog sit for us, but I knew it would be much before for our pup to be at home rather than in boarding. Gracie was happy to meet Zoey ahead of time as well as again a couple days before our trip to go over our leave behind instructions and get any last-minute questions answered. Gracie stayed overnight (house sat) in our home with Zoey for the full two weeks and was very courteous of all spaces. She was responsive and sent plenty of updates too! Zoey was very happy and full of energy when we returned home after two weeks away, which tells me she was well-cared for and comfortable with Gracie. So happy to have found Gracie and for the wonderful companionship she provided to Zoey while also keeping a watchful eye on our home. We will most definitely be booking with Gracie again in the future!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Brightwater is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 per night.

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 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.
