“So thankful for Gabrielle watching our Mellie, I didn’t have to worry about her at all and knew she was well taken care of 😊 Gabrielle kept in contact and sent photos with updates during the time and I truly appreciated that!”
“Gabrielle did a great job during her stay! We came home and everything was neat and tidy in the house. She was very patient with our older dog as we are still figuring out her medication for sundowners. She also did very well staying on top of medications with our cat as he was having issues when we left. Overall, great experience and I would use her services again.”
“Isabelle was fantastic with my two dogs! She took care of them as if they were her own and sent me updates all weekend long. I highly recommend Isabelle, so does Thor and Sunny! They absolutely love Isabelle!!”
“We’ve used Rylie twice now and she’s done a fantastic job. Our pup seems to have really taken to her. We also accidentally booked 1 night short of our return date and she was happy to adjust plans and stay an extra night!”
“Ally was absolutely fantastic! She kept in close contact with us, sent photos, and made us being away less stressful. We will definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone who looking for an awesome house/pet sitter. We would give her 10 stars if we could!”
“Nichole was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her right away — even Bugsy, who usually takes a little time to warm up to new people. It made such a difference being able to keep them in their own home; it was so much less stressful for them. She sent daily photos and updates, and you could clearly see how happy and well cared for they were. I truly couldn’t be happier with the care they received. We would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Xavier. I'm an Airforce veteran of 12 years and counting! I've taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was a child. I've always grown up with both large and small dogs. Currently, I'm an owner of 3 cats and 2 golden retrievers. In my military career, I've gotten the chance to train and work with military working dogs oversees! Animals have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, my days are built around feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure my animals get plenty of attention and companionship. I’m used to caring for multiple pets and balancing their individual needs with my daily schedule. Currently, I work 3 days a week as an RN in the ICU. Not only is my background in healthcare, I also have a military background, so being dependable, organized, and consistent with routines comes naturally to me. Whether it’s daily walks, scheduled feedings, medications, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time together, I’m comfortable incorporating each pet’s specific routine into my day. I treat the pets in my care with the same attention and responsibility that I give my own. SAFETY - Safety is one of the number one priorities for your baby. - I always ensure the tables are cleared and nothing can be easily grabbed. - If your dog goes outside, they're always visualized and monitored. - If going for a walk, the route will always be provided. Schedule/Potty Breaks - Potty breaks will always be provided every hour or if the "ques" are given. - Feeding schedules will always be honored and asked about. Environment - Safety is always the number one priority. - They will never be taken to the dog park without the owners permission. - Comfortable and relaxing environment will always be provided. - If conducting a night stay in my home, a meet and greet will always be requested to ensure there is compatibility.
“Crystal is incredible. We were in a tough spot, needing to find a dog sitter on short notice and thankfully Crystal came into our life at the perfect time. She is a true professional and took care of our pup as if he was her own. She sent countless photos, videos, and messages to make sure we were fully aware of how it was going while we were away which gave us total peace of mind. 100% recommend!”
About: I grew up many breeds and sizes of dogs around all ages taking care of all of them. Animals always love me and I always love them! I’m currently in draft school so I am available to take dogs out every 4 hrs between 7:30-2 and after that I’m available for walk and anything else! I will always be there for your fur babies. I will show them love and care while also completely their needs like walking feeding and anything else needed :)
About: I have lived with dogs almost all my life. I have worked with dogs of varying breeds and personalities. No matter what your pup needs, I can meet them where they are and help them have fun and maybe learn a thing or two along the way. As I am currently between jobs, my schedule is quite flexible. If you are interested in a service, feel free to let me know. I also work weekends and holidays. I will treat your pup like one of my own, with attention and love. I can guarantee dogs safety, comfort, and fun. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
About: I absolutely love animals . I have a yorkie , a German short haired , and a Frenchie! I also have 3 parrots . I can't have anymore animals so i’d love babysitting them. They would be in really good hands with me. I know how hard it is to find a sitter especially when going out of town, so I’d love to care for your pets even if it’s just a date night! I can come to your house. I absolutely love meeting new pets, and my daughter loves animals as well! I work full time , but love to do this part time as well!
About: I have experience in pet sitting my families dogs. While with me they get walks, pets, played with, and are kept on their feeding schedule. My experience is with puppies, young dogs, adult dogs and senior dogs. I also have experience with cats. Pet care works for me during even and night hours. I can be available anytime after 4 pm and up until you need me there. I have a dog in a fenced backyard and a cat that is strictly kept indoors. My animals are played with to maintain their mental health and physical health. My pets are loved, fed, bathed and walked daily.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends probably since I was 16. From my friends in Ohio, to those closer to home. People rely on me to be there. I’m empathic and ready to take care of your pet! I work from home so my schedule is a bit flexible. I have a vehicle in the city so that helps too! I look forward! I follow rules and directions very well. I have the most experience with an aging dog who’s 14 but also lived with a dog that really is more of a shadow! Willing to accommodate the needs of the dog within means.
About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I come from a household that taught me a lot of responsibility through taking care of our pets, so I understand the anxiety and trouble of trying to get an extra hand with your furry friends. I’m patient, understanding, and would love to extend the help. I’m currently working remote, which can leave me with a pretty open schedule some days. My availability varies but it is flexible and easy to work around with enough time in advance. I live with 2 dogs that don’t get along with other animals, so pet care at my home is not an option; however, walks and park trips are!
“Nicole went above and beyond during the process of home boarding my dogs. I had 10000% trust in her before even watching my dogs. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will absolutely use her services in the future”
“We are so grateful to Jacqui for taking such good care of our animals while we had a long weekend out of the city. Our usually anxious dog and somewhat avoidant cat were immediately at ease with Jacqui. We got pictures and updates every day and we will absolutely book again the next time we need a sitter.”

We reached out to Abby with a last minute request because our previous sitter fell through. We couldn’t have been happier! From the meet and greet, our dogs loved her. Abby reached out regularly with updates, great communication and took care of the house. I would recommend her to anyone!

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 Flat Rock 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 Flat Rock 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Flat Rock 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!

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 .
