“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!”
“Kaitlyn was excellent. Took good care of Gino. It was his first time where mom had left for more than just a few then just a few hours. Took care of his meds. Spent time on the couch cuddling and sent me a few pictures. I would use Kaitlyn again for sure”
“Kora was wonderful. She was very communicative and our boys (two dogs and a cat) were all very well cared for. I would absolutely ask Kora back and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Stephanie was very responsive and took really good care of Indi. She gave us daily updates and left the house clean. Would book again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Noah was an amazing dog sitter. Such a nice guy, he kept us informed of our two pups well being. He was able to stay with our pups during the night. As most of us are aware pups are needy like five year old children. Noah took care of their needs perfectly send photo updates. I think the dogs actually missed him when he left. We would definitely hire him again. Five stars.”
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life and am really good with them. Friends and family rely on me often to watch and house sit their animals when they're away. I've lived with dogs my whole life and I love taking care of them. I have two dogs of my own and I love them deeply. I love to take them on walks when it's nice, and I taught my big dog a couple small tricks. I'm currently in college full time so my schedule will change every semester. Currently I'm in class in the morning Monday-Wednesday. I'm available for house sitting the rest of the week and pretty much any time aside from class is okay for check ins and walks. I want to make your animals feel comfortable around me. At my client's home, I will take them for walks, play with them, and care for them accordingly.
“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.”
“Destany was amazing as always! She was able to stay at our house and watch CiCi over night. She always takes such great care of her and we know our pup is in great hands.💚”
“Madalaina did a great job! She followed all my instructions and made sure that the dogs were safe and comfortable in their own home. She kept the home nice and tidy and sent me regular updates. Will definitely use again.”
“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”
About: I grew up on a farm and I've trained/cared for many different kinds of animals for over 20 years. I love animals and am excited to meet your fur baby! I own and operate my own business out of my house. My boss is me and I set my own schedule! So last minute changes are a-okay! I'm happy to exercise and feed and care for your sweet fur babies! I've cared for lots of different dogs and cats and am confident I can take care of yours!
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.
“Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️”
“Ryn was so incredibly kind and accommodating with a last minute booking. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, and then spent the day with them while we were out of town. She kept us updated and left our home exactly as she left it. Would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryn!”
“So appreciative that Katie was willing to stay two nights in our home over a holiday weekend! We were able to meet her in person a few weeks in advance to have her meet the pups and see the house. I really appreciated that she was willing to drive here for that! The house was super clean when we came home and the pups were not stressed as they would have been if we had to take them somewhere to be boarded. They’re older dogs and are very particular but warmed up to Katie instantly.”

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!

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.
<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 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!

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 .
