House Sitting in Bay City

“I came home to a calm, happy, dog! Kelso can be anxious when we are gone. He wasn’t with Marlena! He had a good time playing with her and felt secure, which meant I could enjoy my time away. I will hire her again.”

“This was our first trip ever out of state and for longer than 24hrs. I was nervous about my dogs being with someone they didn't know, but summer suggested a meet and greet for herself and the dogs, and I'm so glad we did! When we finally left, summer kept great contact with us. She sent many photos of my dogs playing outside and inside throughout the entire weekend. She is extremely kind, polite, and very trustworthy!! 10/10 would/ and will recommend her to anyone who asks!”

“Emma is a great pet sitter. She is organized, responsible, and communicates well. She took great care of Buoy and Otto and my house. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away from home secure in the knowledge that she was taking care of everything. She goes the extra mile. We will be using Emma again and you should too.”

“Trisha is so sweet. She spent all day with my dogs. I I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter. She sent pictures and kept us updated about our dog while we were gone for the day. Will be booking with her again.”

“I’ve known Jaidyn professionally for over 2 years, working with dogs the entire time (she regularly manages 40+ every day at our day job). She knows enough from her vet tech training to spot potential health problems that owners and other sitters might miss. She’s very responsible and the only sitter I would trust my own high-maintenance dog with, as he has complicated medication schedules and insulin injections that most caretakers get squeamish about.”

“I have known Brooklyn S for quite a few years and she has take care of all 7 of my furry babies (dogs ) .Two have medical problems and require medication. Brooklyn S has gone above what was asked of her .. All my dogs were loved and cared for each time. meds given on time and due to the fact that I was gone for 11 day she stayed with all my dog in my home .. when I returned not only was all my dogs happy , the home was clean Everything was in its place. I highly recommend Brooklyn S ... I am not one to trust anyone so easily but this young lady had 100 %of my trust and respect...”

About: I have cared for dogs in various settings for most of my life, both of others, and of my own. My experience ranges from new puppy to 15+ yr old dogs, and from breeds ranging from less than 20lbs to over 90lbs. I also have experience in puppy training and am happy to help implement training during potty or treat time etc. I am currently a full-time college student but have many openings in my schedule between classes and on non-school days. I also have early morning and late-night availability if needed! I have experience administering oral medication, and following specific feeding guidelines, and have strong attention to detail, as I know this can be especially important for our furry friends. No requests are too complicated or particular!

“Laura was excellent! She took great care of my boys while we were gone for a few days and was very flexible with my early risers, my greyhound loved her immediately, will be looking forward to booking her again in the future”

“Meaghan is a great pet sitter. She took great care of our dogs and cats. She was respectful of our home and is great at communicating. We definitely recommend her.”

“Shannon S has been my dog sitter for three of my dogs in the last four years, including two of them at the same time. She has taken care of them in her home for as long as four months while my wife and I spent the winters in Florida. She is a very caring and personable lady who also has taken care of other dogs owned by my extended family. All of our pets enjoy being with Shannon S and her family because she treats them so well. I believe she would be a pleasant addition to the Rover.com network.”

“Skylar was great. She took good care of our pets and our house while we were gone. Professional, punctual, and a good communicator. Will definitely use her again.”

“Jocelyn is great with our dog and has excellent communication with us about how he’s doing, we’ll definitely be having her back again when we need someone to take care of our dog.”

“Did such a great job watching our babies! We got many updates throughout the booking which made us feel very comfortable knowing our babies were getting so much love and attention.”

“We are new to the area and had boarded our pups previously since we didn’t have anyone yet. We met with Macy only a few days before our trip so we appreciated her agreeing even though it was short notice. She looked after our house and our pups. We have a younger energetic pup with GI issues and an older pup with anxiety. She balanced taking care of both of their needs. They were walked and played with and she even ran our youngest one. It was so great to come home to two very happy and relaxed pups!!”

“Maria was very friendly and sent us pics of our pup letting us know how she was doing. She kept her active and happy, would definitely recommend her!”

“Lola was a great caregiver for our 3 unpredictable cats. She responds quickly and followed up promptly to any questions. We will be glad to have her come back another time.”

“Kaytlyn has grown up with dogs and cats and is very compassionate when it comes to their care. She's currently in college to study animal sciences and wants to pursue a career in zoology. She's very attentive to all animals' needs and goes the extra mile when it comes to their well-being.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was five. I also worked at Kaybees K9 training and spa for one year. I do have some dog training experience. I currently work a part time job and have family at home who are willing to help dog set if I have to leave for some reason I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I also live by a park and can take your dog for a walk.

About: I am a huge pet lover! I have 4 cats of all ages & 3 chinchillas.. I take pride in giving a high quality- specific to the cat diet. I am consistently providing all types of enrichment for them & I love being creative in that. My chinchillas require a lot of enrichment & a very specific diet. I enjoy changing their cage layout & receiving love from them. Ages of cats are: 13, 6, 6 & 4. The chinchillas are nearing 4, 5 & 6. My cats are always kept up to date on their vetting & my chinchillas may see their exotic as needed. I have experience with: cats, dogs of all sizes, Guinea pigs, freshwater fish, an assortment of lizards including bearded dragons, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, frogs, & a small amount of experience with bunnies. I am so very eager to always learn more. I enjoy sitting for people with strict routines because I have a routine to follow. I also enjoy laidback pet sitting as then I can get creative within reason to dream up some enrichment for the pets while I am visiting. I also have been doing cat rescue for almost 6 years now & am quite experienced. I am deemed the pet lover in my friend & family circles & am often the go to for pet sitting if I am able. I absolutely love meeting other pets & getting to know their boundaries, preferences & quirks! Taking care of my pets is a huge part of my life that I wouldn’t give up for anything. I believe they enrich our lives more than we do theirs. I work full time salaried from home, Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm. However; the only days I truly find myself busy are Tuesdays and Saturdays at times. Unless I am on travel (it is only mon-Fri), I usually have 6 hours or more of free time during that working period. There should be no problem coordinating dedicated time to your pet(s) as needed. All of my pets are fully indoor. Two of my chinchillas are in their double CN cage where cats can see them, but do not interact with. My other chinchilla is in single tiered ferret nation cage. I am an advocate for keeping pets indoors & problem solving solutions for pets who may want a partially outdoor experience. Example: harness training your cat while keeping them on preventatives & consulting your vet first. My cats have a timed feeding with a diet specific to that cat, twice a day. My chinchillas have a once a day feeding including their pellets, fresh hay & access to water at all times; they require a dust bath every 2-3 days. The cats get approximately 15 minutes of exercise 2x a day & lots of opportunities for cuddling or one on one time as wanted. I routinely trim their nails, clean their ears & bathe every 6-12 months as needed.

“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of my two pups. Not only did she take care of their basic needs but also took them on walks as weather permitted. Daily candid photos of the two playing together and or walking down the street were sent. When I returned home they had had fresh baths and were clean and fluffier then when I left. When Megan stopped by to return my house key the pups went a little crazy as they were so excited to see her again. It was very apparent that they enjoyed having Megan take care of them.”
