About: Always feel the warmth of dogs of my family & friends . Usually they run to me right away! Love to play games & take long walks with your dog. Since I’m not currently employed, I’m available full time & on short notice. It’s so important to keep a consistent routine with your pet so they feel comfortable. I prefer taking care of pets in their home environment. I can drive long distance if needed. Looking forward to getting to know your pet & starting a strong companionship right away.

Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!

About: What I think truly sets me apart is my tailored approach to each dog's needs, ranging from feeding medicine, to early walks or even just lovey extra attention, I’m always here for it. I like combining enthusiastic play with disciplined training techniques. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup needing playbite training and endless games of fetch, or a cherished senior who thrives on gentle care, medication reminders, and comforting companionship, I really try to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment. My experience includes puppy socialization and specialized senior dog care, ensuring every dog in my charge receives the individual attention and expert care they deserve, making their time with me feel just like your home. At the moment now, I am unemployed so that gives me more then enough time (even every day) to help take care of your pup when you need it! With every pet is different, I like to converse with the owner about the character of the dog and habits as well as any other important health information that I should keep in mind before sitting, and if it is in your home, I’m very well mannered and have respect for not just the home but pups safety too

I can’t say enough good things about Steff. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions — not just this trip, but also the time before — and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She’s professional, clear in her communication, and always gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. I know my cat is safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I will absolutely continue to use her in the future (if she’ll have us!) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. ❤️

Jennifer did a great job caring for my cat Loni and I would not hesitate to engage her again. She was very understanding of my cat’s temperament and treated her with care and consideration. She even visited during a horrible snowstorm to make sure Loni was taken care of!

Currently I am working part-time as a barista a few days a week, my availability reflects the days i am off, or what time before/after work i am available so there shouldn’t ever be any time issues! I will treat your animal as my own, but I understand that I’m coming into your space and their space. I will be very courteous of my surroundings & work efficiently with you to create a positive experience.

About: I volunteer with the organization that I adopted my pup from! I not only process applications for the organization, but I actively “babysit” pups overnight (sometimes 3 days at a time) for their fosters who occasionally are away on the weekends. I have the most experience with puppies and young adults, but also have watched older pups of my family members. I hope to give your pup a nice boop on the nose :) I am a full-time teacher on summer break! With my current schedule, I am available Sat, Sun, Tues, Thursday & Fridays! I look forward to discussing your needs for your pet! I have a 1y/o pup who is crate trained, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She is my best friend! I’ve taken care of my boyfriend’s dog as she’s recovered from two separate TPLO surgeries. I’ve potty-trained and crate trained other pups from the rescue I volunteer with as I personally feel that’s the best way to make myself and you assured of your pets safety. My pup and I frequent the complex park multiple times daily and love a good car ride. A brief note of needs for your pet will ensure I care for them exactly how you do!

About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.

About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.

Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

About: Hey im matt, and Ive lived with animals since i could remember always having a house full of 4 cats and 4 dogs at once! I know the behavior and ins and outs of any dog or cat so i can quickly be able to adapt to their emotions and behavior to make them feel safer and happier. Your furbabies will be treated to the highest standard as i do my own animals :) i have left previous jobs due to the lack of care of certain animals and environment conditions they were in due to the lack of control i had of the situation, i even have saved 15+ lost dogs and returned them home and saved them from car accidents during my daily drives working my delivery job. i would literally stop on a dime and ditch my vehicle and stop mid delivery just to go save multiple dogs lost and in danger so hopefully that gives you an idea of the type of care i would take for your own. I have a flexible part time job where i make my schedule so anytime is good for me usually to where i can pop in with no rush or stress and take care what you need done :) Follow and listen to all instructions word for word starting from how to enter the home to how to greet your pet to how to leave and say bye to ur pet if a certain manner is needed. i can adapt to any environment or condition to make sure your pet is safe and sound under your instructions :)

Ericka was great! She made sure my dog Cali was let out safely and got some playtime in to release energy. Photos and detailed notes were available after every visit which we really appreciated. All the visits were timely and went smoothly. She catered to my dog’s needs regarding the extremely cold weather, dressing her with her sweater to go out when needed. Will definitely contact her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Brightwaters on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 20,549 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Brightwaters. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brightwaters stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Brightwaters 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Brightwaters with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brightwaters. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
