About: I’ve taken care of dogs for myself, my family and neighbors since I was 12. I’ve done feeding, walking and bathing of dogs and care for many other types of pets including cats. I’m currently working full-time but I’m available after normal working hours and on weekends. I’m currently post graduation and I’m looking for more things to fill my day. I care for many pets in my home by keeping a good feeding schedule, cleaning after poop and by walking and grooming pets. I’ve done most everything for my own pets and can do it well for yours.

Vanessa has stayed with our two boxers for drop in sessions and now a weekend overnight stay at our house. Vanessa is amazing and always updates us on our pups. She made sure our dogs felt calm and safe during 4th of July fireworks and a few storms. Even with the rain Vanessa was able to provide our dogs with enrichment and play time!

About: With all love and respect I will make sure that your baby feels welcomed and loved until their parents return. I will be the friend that they look forward to visiting while you’re away. A yard to stretch and run in and cuddles with kisses if they desire. An easy approach for cats who do better with distance at their leisure. I am happy to dedicate my free time to provide a loving service and one on one time with attention to detail. I currently await visits. I have a spacious yard for playing or potty breaks and room to move around indoors. Will follow instructions provided, give comfort and love generously.

Laurel did an excellent job watching our critters. She is so attentive and communicative. When we returned, everyone was happy, healthy, and seemed like they had a fun weekend! Can’t tell you how much it means to be able to go away without worrying about the fur babies at home. 💕🐾

He is very prompt with replies and Harvey is usually anxious but he seemed to be so relaxed around Jason even though it’s his first time. We requested for photos and updates every one hour to which he happily obliged. 😊☺️ I would gladly recommend him!

About: I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve also had several rodents, mice and rats, and I’ve looked after friends dogs. I have fostered many cats and I’m also very experienced with giving animals medicine. I work remote and will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I just graduated college, I’m looking for an additional source of income to add to my remote job. I’m pretty open week days and may be able to make different times work on Fridays and Sundays. My schedule can be flexible, so feel free to reach out 🙂 I will follow all of the owners instructions, send pictures and text message updates. I can have cats and cat friendly dogs spend the night. I have two cats but they will be kept seperately. Let me know if you have any special requests :)

Sara stayed with our motley crew of critters while we went away for a long weekend. They’re somewhat high maintenance and I left feeling confident they’d be well cared for. Sara provided updates whenever asked and everyone was happy and healthy upon our return! Thanks Sara!

There are no words strong enough to describe how grateful I am for Lashay. She didn’t just watch my dog Juno — she loved him like her own. From the moment they met, I could see the patience, warmth, and genuine care Lashay brings to everything she does. Juno isn’t the easiest dog. He’s big, emotional, and full of personality. But Lashay showed incredible calm and understanding, meeting him with kindness every step of the way. She gave me thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that made me feel completely at ease — and honestly, a little jealous because he looked so happy. But it didn’t stop there. Lashay took care of my cat too — with just as much love and attention. I’m not sure how she balances so much with such grace, but I do know this: my animals were in the best hands possible. If you’re lucky enough to have Lashay care for your pets, take it. She is one of a kind. Loving. Professional. Communicative. And above all, trustworthy. Juno and I are forever thankful.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m really patient, whether it’s a puppy still learning or an older pet that needs things slower and a little extra care. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, giving meds if needed, and paying attention to small changes so nothing gets missed. I want you to feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting lots of love. my flexible school schedule allows me to easily prioritize pet care around classes, ensuring your cat receives dedicated attention and reliable visits exactly when needed. my routine focuses on maintaining their specific feeding and litter schedules while providing professional medical monitoring, play and quiet companionship without the stress of travel.

FAQs for House Sitting - Flagg Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 208 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flagg Center. 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 Flagg Center 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 Flagg Center 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 Flagg Center 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 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.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
