“Kailyn was great when she dog-sat our two fur babies on a somewhat last-minute notice. We appreciated how easily our dogs took to her and how she sent us so many picture updates!”
“Ben was amazing with my Rikki!! He did a great job sending pictures and updates!! He left the house tidy and neat. Rikki was clearly a happy boy when we got home! Ben is an incredible young man!! Will definitely be using Ben in the future!”
“Mallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!”
About: I'm from Texas and grew up around an assortment of animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have unique experience with newborn kittens including bottle feeding. I also have experience with puppies and large dogs and training, farm experience. I have experience with walk training especially with puppies. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, Early out Fridays (3 pm) On Weekdays I am available after 6pm until 5am. On Weekends I have open availability. Thank you for checking my schedule, if you have any specific needs please reach out, I am able to adjust my schedule if needed and I have holidays off. I currently only have aquariums but I do my best to make sure that my aquariums are clean and my fish are fed. This makes sure that they don't get sick. I would do the same in a client's home, I do the same when I watch my friends pets as well. I cat sit for a couple friends and help clean up and make sure the cats are fed and have play time.
About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go. I work full time as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I work with animals 5 days a week and find work on the side house and cat sitting for family, friends, and mutual. As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away. I’m a type A, an Aquarius and an ENFJ As mentioned I do work full time at a Vet clinic. I get 2 weekends and 2 weekdays off a month. My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.
“Holly always did a great with our old dog Dewey, and with our new puppy Kirby she continues the tradition. She sent us plenty of photos and videos throughout the days that we were gone and always kept us updated. Very happy whenever Holly is available 👍👍”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had my own dog for 10 years before he passed away and have had cats throughout my life. I’m comfortable administering medications to dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My healthcare background has taught me patience, reliability, attention to detail, and a trauma-informed approach to care. I’m especially comfortable taking things slowly with pets who are anxious, shy, older, or simply need a little extra patience. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. While I do work during the day on weekdays, when I commit to caring for your pet, they become a priority in my schedule. I plan my time so I can meet their needs with regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention. I also have some availability on weekends and will work to make sure your pet receives consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care only in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I focus on keeping things as consistent as possible by following your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I take a calm, respectful approach and give pets time to adjust so they feel safe with me in their space. I also treat your home with care—keeping things tidy and making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.
“Well, Brittany did another fabulous job caring for my 3 special needs dogs in my home while I was vacationing in Iceland for 2 weeks. Thank you, Brittany! I'll be calling you again soon.”
“This was my first time having someone come to my home and sit our dogs while we were gone. I have two very anxious dogs, and after initial problems, my dogs eventually warmed up to their sitters. I appreciate their patience with Ava and Lucky very much and highly recommend their services.”
“Ryn did an incredible dog sitting our yorkie/schnauzer mix who has pretty high separation anxiety. Louie eventually warmed up to her and she kept in contact with updates, easing any worries I had while traveling.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Flint is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flint
I couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. Ben stayed in my home for a week while I was on vacation and took wonderful care of our dog! I was able to relax knowing that my dog was in our home receiving lots of love and attention while we were away. We truly appreciated the care, responsibility and thoughtfulness Ben showed throughout the week. My dog was happy to see us when we got home but she was sad to see Ben leave. I would absolutely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring house sitter. We will definitely use him again!
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!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Flint is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night.

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 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.
