Kayla took great care of my cat! She was very responsive and sent me pictures of my furry friend while I was away; I definitely recommend her.

She is very tentative! Providing updates during visits of my dogs conditions and how they seem as well as goings on like when they had some diarrhea. She is very nice and implements how you want your animals to be taken care of. Is willing to use and learn about things like the e-collars I use for my girls. All around a good sitter!

Spencer provided excellent care and frequent, clear communication. He readily stepped in for some additional days after my flight was delayed last minute. I will definitely be utilizing his services again.

Kelli wtched my senior cocker spaniel for four days when I was out of town. I was very pleased with the care that she gave, I received photos every day and a note for visits. When I got home my dog was calm and happy, what more could you ask for?! I would definitely recommend Kelli and will be contacting her to watch my girl again the next time I go out of town. She even was nice enough to take my garbage can to the curb and bring my mail in. Thank you again Kelli.

Gillian was genuinely so great with the boys. She was also great at communicating with me any concerns that she had. There were some messages that had been made, and she went above and beyond offering to take the items to try to wash them at her house. I would never expect that from somebody but even the offer was such a kind gesture. I’m so glad my pups had someone so caring and attentive to take care of them while I was out of town.

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

If you are looking for someone to take care of your pets I will always recommend Jessica! She cares for your animals like they are her own! I have a cat who doesn’t like anyone and takes she a while to warm up to people but she goes right up to Jessica to be pet after only a couple of times of meeting! If that doesn’t say anything about her then I don’t know what would.

About: I'm a dog mom of two. I love dogs and go out of my way to care for them, spoil them, and make them feel loved. I am capable of watching other pets outside of the norm. I have experience with fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. Just send me a message and we can discuss! I work full time on a hybrid schedule. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with dogs. I have open availability to allow dogs in my home or to drop in to your home. I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! The pet that comes into my home has free rein. I ensure to treat them as my own, giving them snuggles, treats, and daily walks. If you prefer drop ins, I am also available to do so. Just let me know your dogs schedule and what works for you!

About: I’ve had dogs and horses my entire life and helped to care for them. Now that I am older I have 2 dogs of my own that are the light of my life. I also have helped my boyfriend out with taking care of his many Rover clients :) I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter I am looking to work part time walking and taking care of dogs. I will always do my best to fit your pet into my schedule and make them feel loved! Depending on the dog/animal I am taking care of, I can take them for walks, let them run at the park and play fetch, and whatever else they may desire.

If I could rate 10/5 stars I would! Our dog is our baby and we have very high standards for his care. Amanda was so good with Riley! He can be a little high energy and she handles it so well. She takes the time to not only let him out and feed him, but she sits with him for a little while and gives some extra love and scratches. She is genuine with care towards animals and it made me very comfortable. I am so pleased and will 100% recommend her and use her regularly.

About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.

Would book Kayla again in a heartbeat. My Frank can be a little spicy with new people but Kayla was patient with him and made sure he was safe and fed. Working with Kayla through rover was so easy and took away from the stress of leaving my guy for a few days! Thank you again Kayla!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Big Flats

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Big Flats on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 194 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Big Flats. 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 Big Flats 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.

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 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.

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

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
