“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
“Summer was wonderful with Ace! Not everyone is comfortable around a Doberman, but from the moment she walked in, Ace was completely at ease with her. She followed all of our instructions and sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She also took great care of our home, leaving everything clean and tidy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely use her again”
“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”
“First time using Rover, and Jennifer was the best experience I could’ve asked for. Visited Tennessee with my 2 Newfoundlands and decided once we got here we want them to have company while we are out, and Jennifer responded quickly with open availability/flexibility. She came the next day and spent hours with them, and they were comfortable with her from the beginning. Truly the best experience we could’ve asked for, she took great care and just talking with her you can see the passion she has for animals. Thank you so much Jennifer!”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have always had dogs or cats in my home. My wife and I currently have a dog who we adopted from a shelter. My wife is a certified Dog Trainer and is also employed by the local Humane Society, so we are both involved in the care of animals and absolutely love it! I mention this only to better emphasize our mutual love for animals. She has her own job and business and will not be assisting me in any way in my endeavor to employ myself as a Dog/Cat sitter/walker/care giver, etc. I am retired, and as such I am available most every day to help anyone in need of services, little to no advance notice necessary. I am retired and run a small book selling business out of my home. My business only takes an hour or so of my time each morning, so I am available almost anytime every day of the week to help care for dogs/cats. I have a senior dog in my home at the moment, a dog that my wife and I adopted from a rescue shelter. She is an inside dog, but we have 10 acres so when she goes out, she has freedom to run around. For clients, I am comfortable with any type of service necessary. I can take care of dogs in the house, take them for walks, feed them, hang out for a bit and play with them, etc. Most any service you need, I can do. I do take care of cats as well, although they do not really need much other than cleaning up, feeding, and some attention.
About: I have taken care of and been a dog owner and lover my entire life!! Please let me be your pets BFF. They will be so glad to get to stay home and have a new buddy instead of having to go to boarder or be stressed! I am a mom and I am a full-time student at ETSU. Most of my work is remote and I can pet sit in between classes and in evenings. I would love to do this and enjoy it all! I have Saturdays open for in-home overnight care as well. I was a long time foster parent of children (and a mom to 7!) and a lifetime pet person. I would love to be your pets new BFF and give them love in-home so they don't have to be stressed by boarding and other scenarios.
About: I’ve taken care of others dogs as well as my own for as long as I can remember. I love getting to meet new pets and treat them as my own!! I currently work a part time job. But would love to take care of your pets when needed. By having a part time job it leaves my schedule pretty open and flexible! I am able to take care of your pets however you need or prefer! I love to take them on walks, throw the ball with them or just sit in the sun!
“Tess was great. She gave my dogs lots of love and attention. When I arrived home after her house-sit, I was impressed at how tidy she left my home as well. Tess was great about communicating with photos and videos as well. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a natural caretaker with over 15 years of experience with cats, dogs, baby animals, farm animals, gardens, and house plants, as well as nannying and teaching at a preschool for the last five years! I deeply love to care for others! I will attune to your animals needs, keep your home tidy, and make sure your plants grow beautifully! I am currently a gig worker, while I work on starting my own business, so I am very flexible and can meet any of your pet and home caretaking needs! I provide a calm and caring but boundaried presence for your animals and my goal is that your home is cleaner and feels calmer than when you left it! I have years of farm experience and would love to provide garden care if needed as well!
“Ginger is very tidy, responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away from my senior dogs. I loved her photos and communication was great! I will definitely reach out to Ginger first for my next trip.”
About: Animals come first with me. I have lots of experience walking dogs, including nervous pups and dogs that pull. I'm patient and calm and get along well with them. Cats are equally enticing and I understand their personalities. Even ferals commonly warm up quickly to me. I am fully insured and this is my full-time gig, so your pet is my top priority. When it comes to longer care, I'm a clean and respectful overnight sitter and have plenty of time and affection to give your furry family. I have over 20 years experience with cats including training, sitting, and medications of all types. I have taken care of horses, pigs, alpacas, mice, rabbits, kittens, dogs and puppies. I do cleaning, walking, visiting, feeding, socializing, and overnight visits if desired. I am a friend to every animal I see. I have plenty of attention to share with you furry kiddo. I am reliable and have a flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with whatever you need. I am available during the days, weekends, overnights. This is something I want to do, not have to do, so I'm really open. Every animal is an individual and I will be respectful of your pet's personality. I can take dogs to the park, woods or beach, if desired. I want to know what you want, whether time in the yard playing, walks, quiet time, feeding, treats or restricted diet.
“Sky was great. We put out a last minute request for someone to watch our puppy while we went out to dinner for our anniversary. She responded immediately. She showed up on time, was very professional, and did a great job taking care of our puppy. Would highly recommend.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Flag Pond
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 631 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flag Pond. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Flag Pond walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Flag Pond maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Flag Pond 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
