About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life and have never lived without an animal. Over the years I’ve cared for everything from high-drive working breeds to tiny Chihuahuas, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently have a 4-month-old Belgian Malinois that I’m training for PSA and a 7-year-old Malinois who is our calm, steady family dog. I also have five rescue cats—some came to us with health issues that we nursed back to health, and others simply stole our hearts and never left. This mix has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from high-energy training and enrichment to medication, special diets, and gentle care for animals who need a little extra TLC. As an empty nester, I now have the time and energy to give other people’s pets the same attentive, loving care I’ve always given my own. Whether it’s a playful walk, structured enrichment, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I work from home Monday–Friday, 7–4, and am available all day on weekends. I’m flexible for early morning and evening check-ins and walks. I love staying active and out and about, which makes dog walking a perfect fit. I have a securely fenced yard that’s perfect for potty breaks and supervised play. My two friendly, active dogs are great with other dogs and love company, so your pet will always have a safe, engaging environment and plenty of attention.

“Erica is great and we highly recommend her. When first booking with her we did a meet and greet and explained the special handling Max our cranky 15 yr old ankle biter required along with our two other dogs and tortoises. She went out of her way to make several more visits to get Max accustomed to her, which wasn’t easy but she didn’t give up. She sent videos and pictures daily to keep us up on how things were going. I think the dogs enjoyed their time with her and she even managed to tame the beast in cranky Max. She also left the house straighten up, dishes washed and everything in order which is nice to find when you return home from a trip. She will certainly be our pet sitter of choice moving forward.”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke. We were especially happy to see that they developed such a great bond while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for

About: Hi, I’m Melissa – A Lifelong Animal Lover with a Personal Touch Growing up with animals taught me early on how to understand and care for pets with love, patience, and respect. Over the years, I’ve rescued, trained, and nurtured countless fur babies. I treat your pets like family because that’s what they deserve. We specialize in providing one on one attention by only hosting one dog at a time (or siblings from the same home), so your pet gets a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. We believe in positive reinforcement, mental stimulation, and physical activity especially with the beach nearby for fun walks and playtime. I also bake healthy homemade treats and often add a little pet spa love for extra pampering. Your pet may even learn a new trick or two! You can get a feel for who we are by checking out our journey on TikTok at #lolasdoggycare We’re here to love and care for your fur baby just like you would maybe even a little extra. I have a small business from home, so the flexibility is there. I make pet products as well as homemade products so I set my own hours. I treat all the fur babies as if they were my own child or pet. I follow their schedule and give them my undivided attention and do lots of playing! We go get our walks or smelly’s. 🐶

About: I'm so excited to start Rover and meet all of the sweet babies! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and had my own dog for 15 years, giving me years of hands-on experience with the everyday care, companionship, and responsibility that comes with having a dog. I also have a year of experience walking dogs for others and genuinely love getting outside and spending time with pups. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra attention and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and patience I would give my own dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and active, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can trust! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to providing attentive, reliable pet care. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine! I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages!

About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

About: My experience caring for animals began long before I started pet sitting professionally. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cows, chickens, goats, horses, dogs, and cats. From an early age, I was responsible for daily animal care, including early-morning feedings, cleaning animal living areas, administering medications, and ensuring every animal was healthy, comfortable, and well cared for. That upbringing gave me a strong foundation in animal care, responsibility, patience, and understanding the unique needs of different animals. Throughout my adult life, I have continued to be the person friends, family, and others trust to care for their pets and homes while they travel. In 2019, I began using TrustedHousesitters, expanding my experience across the United States and internationally. I have cared for a wide variety of pets and households, including multiple dogs and cats at once, and can provide reviews from previous families upon request. What truly sets me apart is the breadth of my hands-on experience and my ability to adapt to each animal’s individual needs. I have cared for puppies, senior pets, animals requiring specialized medications, and pets with unique behavioral needs. My experience includes administering oral medications and injections, coordinating veterinary appointments, supporting recovery and special-care routines, and maintaining consistent feeding, exercise, and daily schedules. I also have experience with dog training fundamentals, including leash training and reinforcing commands such as sit, stay, wait, and heel. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs, leash sensitivity, excessive barking, and challenging walking behaviors. I understand the importance of patience, positive redirection, awareness of surroundings, and prioritizing safety when caring for animals with behavioral challenges. Beyond pet care, I provide attentive, full-service home care. Because I work remotely, I can establish my workstation in your home and remain available throughout the day, providing consistent companionship and supervision. I can manage mail and packages, maintain a clean and organized home, coordinate with contractors when needed, and communicate updates so you always know how things are going. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully coordinate arrivals and departures, learn each pet’s routines and care instructions, and make sure their needs are met throughout my stay. I also take pride in leaving every home clean, organized, and welcoming for its owners’ return. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind. With a lifetime of animal experience, years of professional house and pet sitting, and a genuine commitment to attentive, individualized care, I bring the preparation, flexibility, and reliability needed to care for your pets and home as if they were my own.

I highly recommend Mandi as a pet and house sitter. Trust me when I say she goes above and beyond on her duties as a pet sitter. Unfortunately, we had a sewer problem at our home during her stay and since we were out of the country, we were able to handle it over the phone and get a plumber in to fix the issue. Mandi was absolutely amazing in communicating and keeping us updated with our pup during our trip. We will definitely have her pet sit again.

Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Flinn Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Flinn Springs is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,168 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flinn Springs. 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 Flinn Springs 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 Flinn Springs 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 Flinn Springs 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
