“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!”
About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life.currently I have quite the zoo with 3 dogs, 4 cats, a bird, turtle, and ducks. Our animals are our kids, sometimes they are even better than our two human kids. They get on the furniture, sleep in our beds, and get plenty of treats and snuggles. Your animals would be no different. I work full time from home until 4:30 mon-fri. Depending on the distance I could come over for potty breaks frequently throughout the day. I will definitely be able to come over early in the morning, around noon, and then in the evening for potty and play breaks. They will be let outside in our fenced in yard every 2-4 hours or when necessary. They will get daily walks and lots of play time. I will also accommodate any requests from you.
“She was so amazing with my older dog who can be grumpy. Very accommodating and flexible, which was so appreciated!! We will definitely be using her from now on and I have recommended her to family and friends.”
About: I have had dogs since being a child (grandma had cats) 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 am avaible upon request. I do work part time during the summer making my schedule open up. During the school year, I work full time but have any breaks. I make sure that your pet is comfortable. I ask if your pet can have treats, if so are there specific one? Its important to make everyone comfortable.
About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I work 9–5 on weekdays and offer cleaning and pet sitting after 5 p.m. and on weekends. Message me to discuss your needs and availability! I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
“We were out of town for two days and Rachel and Stefan stepped into help us last minute take care of our dogs. We could not have been happier with their service. The dogs seemed content and happy when we returned and the house was left in an orderly condition. They followed our instructions for dog care and asked pertinent questions. I would definitely use them again for our furry pups.”
“Thanks to Rachel my first experience using rover was amazing! My mind was at ease knowing my babies were in good hands while i got to enjoy a night out! I will definitely be using Rachel for any future sitter for our dogs”
“Katie is awesome! She took excellent care of our dogs and cats. She followed their routine and kept in communication with us during our trip. She is very mature and professional and is a true animal lover. Our pets were relaxed and happy when we got home.”
“Brooklyn was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes great care of them. She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home both of our girls were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She was attentive to their individual needs and treated them like they were her own. We could tell they were comfortable and loved while we were gone. We would absolutely book with Brooklyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”

I have my own cats named mace and lili who are both indoor. mace is a nebelung who I rescued from a barn at 6 months and lili is a mixed breed who was given to me at 3 months. I live in a condo complex with a nice sidewalk as well as a park nearby to play at! Not only am I a respectful and trustworthy person, but can assure you that your furry friend is in great hands when they are with me. 💕 I am a mother, have a degree in holistic medicine, student, and own my own pet service company! I have a pretty open schedule until I start school again and am available all throughout the day 7 days a week:) My cats mace and lili are both indoor cats. They have plenty of space to roam including a screened patio to bird watch on as well as a massive cat tower with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I feed them both wet food twice a day and they free feed on dry.
“Holly was so great with my geriatric dog. She even ran our dishwasher for us. She communicated on a regular basis and sent pictures so I didn't worry about my little old man. You can tell she loves dogs! I would book her again in a heart beat!!”
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: I absolutely adore spending time with dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while their families are away. Whether it’s energetic daily walks, playful park adventures, or calm drop-ins with plenty of belly rubs and treats, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. With my flexible schedule as an Audiologist Assistant and Pilates instructor-in-training, I’m often available for morning, midday, or evening walks and can accommodate last-minute needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels (including seniors and high-energy pups), and I’m comfortable with basic medications, special diets, or following any custom routines your dog needs. Pet parents can count on me for frequent photo and text updates so you never miss a moment. Safety is my top priority — I always use secure leashes, check for hazards, and follow your instructions to the letter. I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and believe in treating every pet like part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, enthusiastic dog walker who will give your furry friend the best care possible, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

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.
<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 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!

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 .

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.
