About: I have flexible availability, and I work from home most days - to ensure my pups, and yours, will be able to get all of the attention and love they deserve! I've gone through dog training with my own dogs, and my border collie is an aspiring therapy dog and she often accompanies everywhere I go. I am fortunate enough to work primarily from home and can accommodate early drop offs and late pick ups during the week! Available most weekends. When your animals are here with us, they are fully integrated into the family. There will be lots of walks, cuddles, kisses and have full access to our home as if they are one of my own animals ❤️ *we recently put in a fence, so your pups will have more room to play and can stay safe! I have two dogs of my own, Boon & Tristney. They are both lovers, but Boon is still a puppy, so he loves to play! Tristney, she loves love, hugs, and belly rubs. She's a shy girl and likely won't play, but always enjoys a companion on our daily walks. We also have a cat- but he spends most of his time outside. Its unlikely he'll make an appearance, but when he does it's mainly for dinner. As a 22 pound cat, he never misses a meal. If I am not home at anytime I do have a teen and a husband that help fill in any gaps of time. The two of them are also big animal lovers and are incredibly helpful.
About: Caring for dogs is such a joy!! When able to I love offering runs to pups and car rides and couch days for my senior pals . I have a good understanding of doggy car safety and pay close attention to my furry friends even when outside for potty breaks ! I’ve got lots of free time as I just quit my full time job to spend more time at home with my senior pups and teenager! I would care for your babes with the carefree fun of your favorite auntie but the watchful eye of a helicopter mom! You can trust me to put your pets best interest 1st but also know if an accident were to happen I’d be able to jump to action with first aid care or a quick drive for help and FULL CLEAR COMMUNICATION.
About: My name is Ashley. I am a Mother of 2 teenage boys, the wife of a US Soldier, a USMC veteran, and a long time pet mom. I know how difficult it is to leave your pets with a sitter or boarding.

I am comfortable with administering medications. I can come meet you and your pets ahead of time. I will send updates and photos throughout your time away. I hope you will allow me to help with your animals! I teach most of the year but I am off work for the Summer. I have an open schedule throughout the day. I can not sleep overnight, but I am ok with early morning care. I make sure to have a fun and playful environment with my pets. They also get a lot of cuddle time with our family. My animals spend a lot of time outside and at the dog park. If your pets need extra attention, extra playtime and extra cuddles, I can handle that too.

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.

“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!”
About: 33-year-old lifelong pet owner with veterinary kennel experience. Skilled with dogs of all sizes, cats, and multi-pet homes. Reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, allowing reliable drop-ins, walks, and attentive care throughout weekdays and weekends.

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.
“This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Genesee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Genesee on Rover is $31.04 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 387 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Genesee. 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 Genesee 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 Genesee 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 Genesee 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.

- 92% 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.
