““I can’t recommend enough! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a week, providing attentive and loving care in our home. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for pet. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly caring, Andrea is the one!” Nothing beats leaving my lil boy home to be cared for while on vacation vs leaving them in a strange cold boarding space . Homecare is the best care . Xoxoxoxo”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15, from energetic kittens who need constant play to dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter care, playtime, and giving young or nervous animals the patience they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll treat them like my own. I go into work three days a week, so I keep pet care to my off days when I’m fully available and can give your pet my complete attention. On those days I’m home and flexible, so your pet gets consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day rather than being rushed or left alone. I build the day around your pet’s existing routine so the transition feels seamless and comfortable for them. Safety is my top priority in both my home and yours. I never leave pets unsupervised outdoors. Inside, I keep hazards out of reach, maintain a clean and calm space. I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and lock up carefully every time. I stay alert to each pet’s behavior and comfort, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a unique level of care to every pet I look after. I've cared for dogs of all sizes since childhood and have a deep understanding of both energetic pups and senior dogs with special needs. I recently cared for my Yorkie, who lived to be 13, administering daily insulin injections and oral medications with patience and precision. Whether your pet needs gentle medical support or an active play companion, I’m here to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate specific days to pet sitting, ensuring each animal receives my full attention and care. Whether during the week or on weekends, I plan my availability around your pet’s needs to provide consistent, focused, and loving care. While I don’t currently have pets living in my apartment with me, I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment for any animal in my care. My apartment, though modest in size, is located in Forest Hills which is a quiet, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of green space for walking, playing, and outdoor breaks. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort and safety while being respectful and mindful of your space and surroundings.

“We have an 18 year old and a 13 year old cat. The older one is missing several teeth so can only eat shreds. The younger only eats dry food but wont touch it if its been out over an hour or two. We hadnt gone on vacation for several years because we didnt want to burden friends with multiple cat visits. Rover to the rescue! Steff's daily drop-ins gave us the peace if mind we needed. She took care of feeding, water, litter boxes, and even meds. She came every day easing the burden on friends. She sent daily updates including photos of our fur babies. We will definitely hire her again.”

My sweet guy gets so sick in the car so I hate to try and board him but I was so worried about leaving him alone. Michelle eased my fears and relieved my worries.

About: I worked at a dog rescue/ groomer for 3 years! I would take the dogs to the beach and walk them occasionally, do home boarding visits and clean up cages! I have been grooming for about a year. I currently work part time. I go into work at 9 and leave at about 2:30 Tuesday through Saturday. Usually go to the gym at night but that’s only for an hour and a half. I fulfill any specific needs of dogs and will cuddle, play and hangout with them. I groom my dog at home so if grooming is needed I can also fulfill that too!

About: I’m Paula, I’m a life long animal lover. I have been fostering dogs for years, and I grew up with Shepards, a lab, and a Great Dane, so there’s no dog that’s too big for me! I work from home most days and I love having pets around to keep me company! I also love going on long walks through the hills of Seattle. I love to use my extra time to help those who travel often or work long hours and need someone to care for their four legged friends while they’re unavailable! I work from home most days of the week and my schedule is flexible so send me a booking request and let’s see what we can arrange! I give pets a good amount of outdoor playtime and inside cuddles and love, depending on what they need. I am great at training dogs as well. We have a large fenced yard for them to run around.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Brightwaters

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brightwaters is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 21,517 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brightwaters. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
