“Emily provided such great service! We are always looking for someone who gives us peace of mind when we travel and leave the pets at home and Emily did such a great job. She was a fantastic communicator and sent lots of pictures and updates. Kept us up-to-date about one our dog's side effects from medications. You could tell she caught on quickly to our pets and their personalities. Went above and beyond cleaning up on the day she left. Will definitely be looking for her in the future!”
“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”

“Maggie is awesome! She kept us updated with pictures and notes every day we were away. Our dog, Lucy, seemed to get along really well with her dog, Willow. It was really sweet to see them play together in videos. I would definitely trust Maggie to take care of our pets again.”

“Jennifer is so sweet and my boys loved her. She took the time to read all my notes and kept us informed on how they were and what they did together. She pays attention to the little details. The dogs warmed up to her pretty quickly and I know they miss her! I hope she will be available for us again!”
“Noah did a wonderful job watching our pups while we were away! He was especially attentive and caring with our elderly dog, including administering medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely have Noah watch them again and highly recommend him!”

“3 cats and a stubborn senior Bulldog for 10 days. Gina handle them all very well. Kept me informed of activity and asked questions as needed and sent pics. My Bulldog needed daily eye meds which was handled beautifully. His eyes have never looked better. When I got home my fur babies were healthy and happy. Would definitely use Gina again. It’s also a better trip if you don’t have to worry about the care of your pets.”
About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and fish. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I have been a volunteer at many animal shelter, so I’m very experienced at handling and taking care of a dog or cat. I can walk for a long distance, so I can walk your dog as often as needed. My house is pretty clean and so it is a safe environment for a dog or cat to be around. I Just graduated college, so my schedule is pretty flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Plesease don’t hesitate to ask me more about the services. I currently work remotely, so I have a pretty open availability and able to take last minute scheduling as well. Let me know if there is anything else needed. I live in an apartment with a dog park and there is a park very close to where I live. So a lot of open space.
About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.
“Kristen was amazing! She was so great with the dogs and she communicated so well with me the whole week. I have a what most people call a difficult dog and she was great with him giving him proper space if needed and allowing him to come to her for comfort. And our other dog was very comfortable and loved a good cuddle with her. House was clean when we got home! Can’t say enough great things about her. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I love all types of animals! I've had a myriad of animals throughout my life: dogs, cats, fish, and more. I also helped watch my friends' animals and farms whenever they went on vacation. I ready to help provide whatever care your animal(s) require. I work 2nd shift Monday through Thursday, with flexible hours. I'm able to walk and care for animals before work and during my dinner break, as needed. I'm able to maintain whatever routine your animal is accustomed to (walkings, feedings, medication, etc). I know that change and owners being out of town can be hard on many animals, so I try to maintain that level of consistency. I know many good parks and dog parks throughout the Columbus, and surrounding areas that I can take dogs to to enjoy exercise and play.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I have had an unwavering passion for helping animals. For example, whenever I would go to a party, I would lay down with the family dog or play with the resident cat. Many of my friends call me an animal whisperer because I naturally connect with dogs and cats. I am extremely patient with all animals and will attend to their needs. We recently said goodbye to an 11-year old Great Dane/Pyr who required a lot of special needs. I am able to care for young puppies and kittens up to senior cats and dogs. I work a job from 8 - 4 pm but can check on pets in the morning and evening. I am also free during the weekends for longer walks or check-ins. I make sure to follow the exact directions provided by the client, such as feeding instructions, walking instructions, and acclimating myself to the pet. I make sure to give the pet space and let them decide when they feel safe. For example, we recently adopted kittens and gave them 6 weeks of time before introducing them to our other pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flint
Janelle is a joy and loves animals! We have 2 large dogs, including a senior dog who can need extra attention. She stayed at our home with them and provided regular updates/photos everyday--often twice a day :) . It was great to be gone for a week and know they were in such good hands. This was our first Rover experience and Janelle was a great sitter.
Melissa was always so wonderful with Manny and now she has continued to be so with our new puppy, Odin. She always does a great job keeping us informed and sending outstanding pictures! She keeps the house nice and tidy. It is so relaxing when we're away and relieving to come home to! Thank you so much!
Ben did a fabulous job watching my dog, Sky! He sent many messages and pictures of my baby. Came home and everything was clean, laundry done and bed made! Ben will definitely be my dog sitter going forward!!! Thank you so much, Ben!!!!! I think Sky misses you lol!
Destany was absolutely amazing with our puppy Stone! 🐾 She followed his routine perfectly, kept him happy, well-fed, and so loved while we were away. We came home to one content, well cared for pup. 🥰 She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a real gift with dogs. 🐶💛 We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely book her again! Thank you for treating Stone like your own! 🌟
We had a wonderful experience with Gina and are SO grateful to have found her. Lukee is a large pitbull mix recovering from TPLO surgery and needs extra help getting around with his harness. Gina's medical experience gave us so much peace of mind. She handled him gently and confidently and even spent time massaging him to keep him comfortable. When we ran late getting home, she stayed without hesitation and truly went above and beyond. We came home to a comfortable dog and felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, skilled pet care.
Corrine watched our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and we are so appreciative of her availability so we could go back to Iowa and visit family! She was communicative and sent along pictures, including our puppers getting their toys/treats on Christmas day. Would highly recommend her to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Flint is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 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 1,488 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flint. 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 Flint 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 Flint 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 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!
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.
