Another great job by Cassandra! Our dogs love her, and she gives me the peace of mind to not be nervous about my dogs when out of town. We’ll be booking again soon!

My first experience with this app and she blew me away with the care and kindness and support with leaving my puppers behind. I can’t be more satisfied with everything she did.

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?

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.

Valkyrie enjoyed her time, Mika didn't have to take the garbage of cat litter out to the trashcan and she went above and beyond. Will be using her again when I go out of town for long times!!

Lauren did an excellent job with my cats, one who happens to be diabetic. I could tell she is truly an animal lover, and took such great care of them. She listened well, and followed the instructions I gave her. She is willing to learn and also very personable. This was my first experience using a pet sitter other than a friend, and I will be very comfortable hiring Lauren again in the future! Thank you Lauren for giving us peace of mind while we were away!

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.

Elizabeth took great care of our furry family members this weekend. Both the dogs were calm and happy when we got home. Elizabeth is such a pleasant lady and she is very patient with the dogs. We are blessed to have found her and for her help this weekend. We will be calling on her again in the future.

Jessica was great with my dog and my cat! I received video and photos during her visits. It appears she followed what I had laid out plan wise for them. I know some are a bit over the top like leaving on Pandora but she did as I asked, which I appreciate so very much. This was the first time I had someone that wasn't family watch my animals and I was anxious, but she did a great job. Thank you so much!

About: I absolutely love all dogs, any size and breed. I was a foster parent for a local animal rescue before I had my youngest daughter. My family and I have owned many dogs during my life. Currently my family does not have any dogs. I have always treated my dogs like a member of my family, without 'spoiling' them. Any specific requests, or needs I will certainly listen to them without question. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can provide any service that you are looking for. The only thing I will not be able to do is overnight stays since I have young children. I’m currently working part time from home, and can be available whenever I am needed! I am available for boarding and visits on the weekends! I have a dog kennel and can take them for walks if needed. If they need to be crated, I am able to do that as well.

About: Hi! I’m Ryan, and I’m dedicated to giving your dog the best part of their day. Whether your pup needs a high-energy power walk to burn off excess steam or a steady, relaxed stroll around the neighborhood, I tailor every walk to fit your dog's age, energy level, and daily routine. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I pride myself on reliability, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s safety as my top priority. Every service comes with detailed updates, GPS route tracking, and plenty of photos so you know exactly how their walk went! I currently work full-time as a bartender and sales distributor for a brewery. I typically work thursday-sunday. With my days off, I spend most of my time being active whether that's working out, walking or hiking. Adding in some dogs to walk would fit in perfectly to my lifestyle and would be something i always look forward to! I have a fenced in yard in which the dogs can run freely. With a potential client's home, a fenced in yard or invisible fence would be ideal to assure the safety of the dogs.

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Big Flats on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 183 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
  • 93% 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.
