“Kristina is absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for our pets. Our bird, fish, and dog take a lot of time and care throughout the day. I was so relieved to find someone who has experience and knowledge with birds. She also took time to meet the needs of my elderly mom by conversation or small little tasks to assist her. Don't hesitate to book her, she listens to small details. Loved having her and plan to rebook again.”
“Kayla was very loving and attentive to Ivan. Followed his eating and scooping routine and gave him abundant belly rubs. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
About: Hi, I’m Sri! I’m a lifelong lover of all animals based in Red Wing, MN. I grew up around dogs, both big and small, and have had cats for over a decade. I currently have two DSH cats that are sweet, spoiled princesses. I am new to professional pet sitting but I have cared for family and friends’ pets throughout the years. I treat all animals with the compassion, patience, and care that I would give my own. I have a varying schedule throughout the year, with more flexibility in the winter months. I am proactive with keeping track of my commitments and communicating any schedule conflicts with ample notice. I am committed to keeping your pets safe and happy while you are away. Whether you’re looking for house sitting services or drop in visits, you can be assured that your pets will be given the best care.
About: Hey there – my name is Kamie, and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times…I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I am an incredibly reliable and a trustworthy person. I currently have a full time day job, but I am available most evenings and weekends. Your fur babies safety is my top priority. I will follow ALL instructions given. My objective is to leave your animal feeling just as cared for and loved as if you where the one doing so. I have experienced with giving oral medication and am completely comfortable with doing this if needed.
“Rachael was wonderful!! She took very good care of our Dog while we were on a trip. She sent pictures to update us and made us happy to know she was giving our dog special attention. I would recommend her and use her again”
About: I am a retired Certified Veterinary Technician. I have 30 years of caring for my own furry family members. I am trusted by friends and neighbors to enter their homes and care for their beloved pets. I have a spacious home and fenced in yard. I can care for those with special needs. I am a newly single mother looking for income doing what comes naturally. I am a care giver by nature. My schedule is open. I am available for your needs. I have a senior dog that suffers from separation anxiety. He has always been by my side. He is gentle and gets along with all other animals. I have 3 rescued cats, one of which has special dietary needs. I am well trusted by my friends and neighbors to care for their furry family members while they are away at appointments or a 2 week long vacation. I am trusted to enter their homes, as well as have their pets in my home.
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
About: I graduated college as a Veterinary Technician and I currently work at a vet clinic that deals with dogs, cats, and all exotic and caged pets! So I have the medical knowledge to keep your pet safe and the passionate heart to keep them happy! I love going for runs, walks, hikes, or also just cuddling and watching Netflix and giving scratches. I have an extra soft spot for senior pets that might need some special care or just a warm lap to know that someone is there for them. (Especially if they can’t see or hear) I’m a very calm and patient person. I’ve worked with the smallest teacup breeds to the 250+ pound, slobbery giant breeds. I’d love to treat your pet as my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 495 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bay City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
