About: From a young age, I've had a special bond with dogs. My parents took in neighborhood samoyeds and newfoundlands that had been abandoned by their owners. I grew up with them, trained them, did my best to make sure their home was loving. Since my neighbors knew I was good with large dogs, I frequently dog sat for them. I quickly became an expert in leash technique, engaging play, making sure they were fed right, and just plain being there for them. I don't have any dogs right now (my apartment is way too small) but I know I'll meet that special fluffy guy when I get a bigger place. I'm available nearly all the time, as I'm not currently working and am only doing occasional volunteering in the Bitter Lake/Greenwood/Shoreline area. I have the availability of a tireless assistant! I believe in respecting a dog's boundries while also being very mindful of their needs. From years of experience I've learned to find the proper balance and give the dog the best experience possible.
“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away. She was very dependable and provided daily pictures and updates. We would not hesitate to recommend her to others, and look forward to having her back.”
“Sara is what your animal needs while you are away! I could not be happier with the level of care and love she gave my kitty Nicholas. She also sent pictures and updates every visit! I will be using her in the future. Sara thank you so much 💗🐈”
About: I'm 31 years old and love dogs. I would love to take care of yours like it was mine. Love to walk long distances. I'm home from 6 pm weekdays and all day during weekends. Don't have my own dog because i don't have enough money to take care of a pet but someday i would love to. I would do it even for free because they are amazing creatures. They are unconditional and fun. I will feed, walk, train them with patience and love. I have my own dog, a black lab, but she's in another country, I had to come here without her and I miss her a lot every single day. But I know my dad is taking good care of her. I’m currently working from home so i have all the time to take care of my clients and business needs. I’m been doing this for 5 years now. I prefer to do it in my home but i can do it at the clients house if they not required to stay overnight at all.
“Riann genuinely seems to love animals! She quickly picked up on each of my kittens’ personalities and even went out of her way to block off some small wires in our garage that they had been playing with—something I hadn’t even noticed. She was cheerful, dependable, and clearly attentive to their safety and well-being. I’d use her again without hesitation!”
“Chloe is a life saver. She had been working with Diesel on training and was already doing great. We went on vacation and family was supposed to be watching him. He is a rescue that still needs time to adjust and it was not working out at all and I was able to message her and she opened her schedule to help us out.”
“Victoria has watched our kitties multiple times and does a fabulous job! We had a health scare shortly before we were leaving for our trip and she kept such a good eye on my cat and stayed in contact with me about how he was doing at each visit which really helped ease my worries and anxiety. She is so sweet & kind! Would highly recommend if you need a trusted sitter! Thanks so much again! 💓”
About: I've been around animals all of my life, from growing up on the farm to living with pets through my adult life. My animals are very important to me and we treat them like part of the family! I work full time, but have full availability to care for your animals in the evenings and weekends. Even during the week, I can make time to care for your animals! I have a fenced in yard and own a six year old Labrador retriever who loves to play and is very friendly with other animals. He gets along great with other dogs, and loves his cat sister. Our yard and home is a very secure place for your pet to stay.
About: I am freshly post grad and I have lots of free time on my hands. I would love to walk and accompany your doggies as needed. I just finished college and have a lot of free time on my hands. I am available often to walk, drop in, or watch your pets! I strive to get to know your pets and their routines. I will walk, play, cuddle, feed, and care for your family as though they are my own!
About: I thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I love to sit and enjoy my time with Dogs. Animals my passion and I love and enjoy all of them! I’d love to use my strengths and education with 15 years of hands on animal handling skill and training to cater to the needs of your pets to comfort your companion while you're away, I can assure you the pet owner they’re living their best life in my care. I send tons of pictures and show love care and compassion. I have been an animal handler and curated for 15 years, comforting and catering to your companions. I would love to be that trusted person you book when it comes to your pets needs and overall bliss! I have open availability. Taking new clients! I handle dogs and cats every single day! I have a wonderful dog named Charlie (really my mom’s dog) and have been handling a multitude of breeds for 15 years. Learning all different kinds of personalities. I have come accustomed to understanding animals in a way that serves me and can serve you comfort and overall peace and joy knowing your companion is in the best care possible. I love being an animal handler and specializing in dogs specifically. I have curated my skills and know how to really be there for your pet in a way that matters. Every day and every action will add up in your overall animals life quality and I know how to do things for your pet that will matter later down the line, when you don’t have time to. I do! Communication is huge for me and your pet! Your pets schedule and goals are my mission and I don’t miss out on sending tons of update pics and what we have planned for the day! I care for dogs in my clients home. I do not host in my home. But the ultimate focus when I’m at my clients home is paying attention to your dogs behavior. Separation anxiety is a huge trigger for dogs not eating and becoming unhealthy and creating unhealthy habits and I do everything in my power to distract the worry and bring play and fun and most importantly comfort. Your dog will learn how to communicate with me very quickly and once I can assess their needs, wants and desires then they tend to feel heard and more at peace with their owner being away. Creating or sticking to a schedule and incorporating healthy dog play and walks is important. A healthy dog is an happy dog! When I come back they are joyful! I love that feeling of creating a good relationship with your pet, And with YOU!

About: Planning a vacation, but need a sitter for your fur babies? My favorite thing is making fur babies feel loved and welcomed while their owners are away. You’re baby, is my baby when they enter our home 🙂 We are a family of 3. My daughter who is 17 cannot be left alone due to disabilities so someone is always home so your baby is not left alone and plenty of love. Your baby will be loved on, exercised and be spoiled like our babies are. We have a beautiful older golden retriever who has the biggest heart, and is everyone’s friend! She enjoys visiting the elderly in the nursing home. We also have a spunky 2 year little kitty name moose. He is the king of the house and will let you know that upon entering. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard on almost an acre in swartz creek. If you are looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, please feel free to message me. Lots of time for love, snuggles and love to spend time with your fur babies and show them love while you are away from them. Fenced yard and able to crate if needed. Lots of experience with animals and different levels of care for them as needed, we can discuss further if needed.

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 Flint 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.
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 Flint 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Flint with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
