“Kaitlin was great! Our dogs were very happy when we returned from our trip and we received cute pictures of them while we were gone. She was very thorough and communicative.”

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.
“Lily did a wonderful job sitting for my Maize and a friend’s Cooper. They have two distinctly different personalities and Lily was able to make them both comfortable. She sent me pictures daily, which I really appreciated. She also left the house in perfect order. I will definitely hire her again. I highly recommend Lily!”
About: I have been trusted with pet care for friends and family many times over the last few years which have included daily walks, regular feeding, potty breaks, play time, and company! While I'm new to professional pet care, I am familiar with providing reliable care to furry friends. I am currently a full-time student taking online classes this summer, meaning I have plenty of time to hang out with pets! When in-person classes start again in the fall, I am local, so pet care still will not be a problem. I've cared for dogs for family and friends over the years and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, spending quality time with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and companionship. I've helped care for my grandpa's two dogs, regularly looked after my boyfriend's family dog, and cared for my aunt and uncle's dog while they traveled by handling the daily routine before and after work. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to help keep them happy and comfortable. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own.
“Kiara did an awesome job staying at our house with our cat and dog. She communicated often, followed instructions to a T, and went above and beyond our expectations! We came home to a tidy house and happy pets. If our wild animals didn't drive her too crazy, we would love to have her petsit for us again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Mia was great! Having her stay with my cat allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. She sent pics daily and assured me everything was ok. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to stay with your fur babies!”
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: 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
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always had a big heart for them. I have experience house sitting and caring for pets for family members, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work two flexible jobs that are understanding when I need time off for pet sitting. If I accept a booking on a workday, I’ll always communicate my schedule in advance and ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and quality care they deserve. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’m committed to making it work for both you and your pet. I currently have six cats, so I’m very familiar with caring for multiple cats and keeping them happy and comfortable. They eat twice a day, always have dry food available for a little snack if they’re hungry, get treats at the end of the day, and have plenty of toys and cozy beds to enjoy. I also have experience with dogs—I grew up with them and have cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs through pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different personalities and will always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own.

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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
