“Kaitlin is the absolute best! I was needing a sitter for my dog over Christmas and she came through for me! She was incredibly reliable and made me feel that my pup was in the best of hands while I was away. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone needing a pet sitter. She is especially great with my big oaf of a German shepherd and handles his crazy energy very well!”
“Once again, Carissa has done a fantastic job with our home and pets! Definitely a 5 star sitter! Always so helpful and kind, and our pets just love her! Thank you so much, and we will see you again soon!”
“Cooper loves him some Jessica time! He is excited to see her arrive and sad when she leaves! Great communication, and great feedback on how Coop was doing throughout the day.”
About: I am a stay at home mom. This makes my availability very open. My husband is home early afternoons making me child free. I have had dogs since being a child and we consider them family. We love going on walks, playing at the park and being very active!!! Playing frisbee, ball or whatever your pets favorite is. I have experience with big and little dogs as I have a lab and a jack Russell. I have watched a few dogs in the past and would love to get to know you and yours. Please chose me to care for your "child", your family family member, your friendly doggy love! Can't wait to make some new canine friends and their owner! Get in touch soon!
“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”
“Carolyn is thoughtful and attentive to both her two and four legged clients. She checks in with us and sends pics of our pups. They love when she comes to visit and we feel so comfortable leaving them with her!”
About: I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens/reptiles. I Currently work as a licensed veterinary technician and have been in the field for 7 years! I do work longer hours, usually 3-4 days a week but if I need to take them to work with me, I can! I work 8-8 but the days change each week! If you don’t have a fenced in yard i’m comfortable walking your pet on a leash to go outside, would feel more comfortable versus relying on recall!
About: No matter if your pet is big or small I will love them with all of my heart and spoil them. I believe pets need extra attention when their families are away so they don’t feel left behind. I work during the week but on the weekends I’d love to help you with your pet so you can take that weekend getaway you deserve! I’m a huge animal lover and this is honestly a great opportunity for me to get to love on as many animals as possible. I am very careful when opening outside doors to ensure everyone stays safe. I always triple check fences and keep an eye out for any potential risks.
“Mia is a very caring and loving sitter. This was her first time sitting for us and she had a couple of doggie peculiarities to deal with and she handled them well. We have an older dog who is somewhat spoiled but she was treated with love and patience. She communicated with us to keep us updated. I felt very comfortable the way Mia cared for our pet and our home.”
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my Goomba for me while we were on vacation! She arrived promptly on time and was very communicative. Goomba didn’t even know I was gone until I got back. She was very accommodating and responded promptly to all messages. If you need pet care in Flint, call Brooklyn!”
“A heartfelt thank you to Kiara for the peace of mind she gave us during our wedding week. It's a funny thing to say, but I didn't worry about our dogs even once while we were away—and that’s saying a lot considering how much they mean to us! It's just that Kiara made us feel so assured from the start. Our two meet-and-greets really set the stage for a worry-free departure and her fur baby, Wednesday, was the perfect buddy for our pups. Even with two out of our three dogs requiring nightly medication, and one of our Newfoundlands having a whole array of allergy treatments, Kiara handled it all without a hitch. We got the sweetest pictures every day, and it was obvious our dogs were having the time of their lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Kiara to any pet parent. She's a great pick for anyone who wants their pets to receive the best care and oodles of snuggles!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs for the past 5 years, varying from Great Danes, English Mastiff's, and even including smaller breeds such as Shihtzu's. I am attending mott as a student for EMT, the schooling takes place in the mornings, so I should be available basically any time after 3pm. We have an invisible fence with buzz collars, so they dont shock the animals. I have also dealt with a Rottweiler that needed to be in a crate at night.
“Cindy was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby felt comfortable while we were away. She was professional, punctual and made us feel 100% at ease while we were away. Highly recommended ❤️”
About: I have 7 years experience with cats, dogs, and various other animals! I am very caring and devoted to the animals I care for & watch! I’m always available & always open to taking new animals! I currently need to come up with $700 before the 22nd of June for an emergency, so I’m willing to take all offers for animals! I do have a gofundme if anybody would be interested in viewing or sharing it as well, but looking to take any & all pet requests right now! I do have a kitten, & always have cat food & everything included on hand.. I will also be providing sometimes for the animals I get requests for! :) I have open availability! The animals I care & provide for always come first! I always make sure they’re needs are taken care of from the top of the morning till the end of the night. I show affection & make sure the animals in my care feel very safe, loved & cared for! I make they’re happy & healthy, and in a well maintained home

FAQs for House Sitting - Flushing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Flushing on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flushing. 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 Flushing 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 Flushing 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 Flushing 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
