Pet Care Kit
It’s been well documented that having a pet can extend lives, teach children responsibility and provide companionship during difficult times. Emotional bonds with pets help us cope with stress and anxiety, reduce blood pressure and help combat depression and other psychological ailments in adults and children. Once a pet is a part of the family, the items in this kit will make it easy and fun to care for them.
Kit Includes:
- 3-Step Pet Lid
- Scoop-It Bowl
- Pet Rescue Sticker

Rover is an industry leader in Pet Care solutions. The Rover website and application connects dog and cat owners with loving caregivers across the US. Rover offers an extensive array of services, including overnight boarding, pet sitting, doggy daycare, dog walking, and cat drop-ins.
We want to make the experience as simple as possible! Simply login to the back-up care site
(https://backup.brighthorizons.com).
Once on the Bright Horizons Back-Up Care site, you will see a Pet Care button on the homepage. You will be prompted to provide details on which pet requires care including the name of your pet and the service you need. Once details have been provided, a coupon code will be displayed on the site. An email will also be sent to you with instructions on how to use your code.
Yes, because you will request the Rover coupon code for Pet Care use through the back-up care site. Log in or create an account at https://backup.brighthorizons.com to access this program.
You will exchange a day of back-up care to receive a $150 credit to use on Rover.
The exchange on Rover varies based on service needed. Here’s a breakdown for what you can get for your $150 credit:
| Organization | 2.9 days |
| Dog Walking | 6.5 walks |
| Doggy Daycare | 4.3 days |
| Drop-In | 5.0 days |
| House Sitting | 2.3 days |
Once your back-up care use has been exchanged and applied to your Rover account, your $150 credit will be available to use on services until you reach a $0 balance. You can exchange additional days of back-up care on your Bright Horizons Back-Up Care account. The number of days available for Pet Care exchange varies. Please see your back-up care account details to learn more.
It doesn’t cost you anything! Through a simple exchange, you can access the $150 credit to use on the Rover site. Tips can be provided to the caregiver at the user’s discretion.
For details on imputed income, please reach out to your HR department for more information.
No. Unfortunately, exchanges for Pet Care credit can only be submitted through the back-up care website.
Coupon codes cannot be applied to reservations scheduled or booked prior to your employer’s benefit launch. Please reach out to your HR department for more information on when this program became available for use.
Yes. The code you will receive through the back-up care site will expire 90 days from when the coupon code is converted to the $150 credit. The expiration date is also available on the homepage of your back-up care account.
When you request Pet Care through the back-up care site, you effectively “trade” a use of back-up care for Pet Care. At that point, the $150 coupon with Rover is credited and cannot be cancelled. Each sitter has a different cancellation policy. To learn more, visit Rover’s sitter cancellation support page.
