“Logan is always so great with my fur babies! I've booked him for house sitting, as well as drop-ins (sometimes even last minute!). He's very communicative, professional, and friendly. My house is always in good condition when I get home and my animals are as happy as can be! I will continue to book with Logan any time I can :)”
“Candice has been a great support to us. My 100 lb Weimaraner loves her and she is so sweet and caring with him that I never have to worry when she is with him. She goes above and beyond and has run him to the vet when I wasn’t around. She is always on time and keeps me informed about everything going on with my baby. Thank you Candice!”
“Madeline checked in on our cat each day we were gone on vacation. She was very responsive and communicated well. She even showed concern for some of our house plants. I appreciate her very much and had peace of mind knowing our cat was in good caring hands!”
“This was Olivia’s first time watching our cats and she was seriously outstanding. She really went above and beyond, overcoming some inconveniences to provide excellent care. I highly recommend.”
About: I have always loved dogs! I have owned one almost my entire life. I have stayed overnight with friends dogs many times while they're out of town. I am active, so walking and playing will be no problem. My summer is very open, so I hope to be filling my time with your dogs and puppies! I have a few references, that I have house/pet sat for, if you would like to contact them. I love big dogs, medium dogs, small dogs, skinny dogs, fat dogs, all dogs! I had an Airedale Terrier who had ACL repairement surgery twice. This gave me experience with giving medications, rehabilitation & disabled dogs. Kellogg that you see was my foster dog, he’s living his best life with his new dad. If your dog loves to play, my parent’s dog, Arlo, is always down for some laps around the yard…If you're missing your dog, we will have a photo shoot and send you as many pictures as needed! Aside from loving dogs (which you unfortunately can't get a degree in) I have a bachelors degree from CMU & a masters degree from Wayne State University. I am a teacher, so love and patience are my middle names. My almost 8 year old son is also a dog lover and will be helping me give the best care possible. I hope you allow me to have fun with your pup! Message me to check availability! I am on summer break, meaning I have lots of extra time for my own pup as well as helping out with someone else’s pup! Always make sure to follow the plan left for me by the owner. Take extra precautions to make sure the pup is secure inside and outside of the home.
About: I have dogs myself and treat them like my family. I like to spoil them and make sure they are happy. I will do the same with yours. I am a retired Physical therapist assistant. I work a part time job with special needs clients. I am a caring individual. I will take care of your pets as well as I would take care of people. I will take special care of your pets to fit your needs. They will always be my top priority for whatever your needs may be.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and am a lover of animals. I currently have a 4 year old pit/boxer mix named Pip who is the absolute best! I have assisted in training puppies from house breaking, to crate training, to on-leash training. I have experience with many different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I have worked on decreasing food aggression in rescue dogs as well. I have dog sat for many different sizes and breeds and have experience with meds. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available weekdays anytime in the morning and evening! I am also as flexible to the needs of my clients as I can be. If there is a different time that I may not have listed. I am an active dog sitter, keeping your pups involved and engaged. I can easily crate and walk as needed. I am attentive to the pet’s needs that I serve. I am always sure to keep owners informed of anything that they need to know from our visits and treat their pets like my own.
About: I've worked with animals off all kinds, ages, sizes, and requirements since I was 10. Everyone i know comes to me for pet help/care. I take a special intrest in training. I currently have a border collie mix who i practice sports such as agility and bikjoring. She also love trick training and obedience training. I was in a vet course in high school for two years so I've got plenty of experience with all sizes and species of animals. There i learn how to give oral medication, signs of parasites/disease, dog body language and the importance of mental & physical stimulation that sent me on my way to being a dog nerd. My job has me working weekends during the slow season and being an active person I need something to fill my off time. So I have Monday- Thursday to work with your schedule. I have worked with reactive animals as well as own one so im exceptional at dog body language and i focus on making a dogs walk/Visit as stress-free as possible. My experience with reactive dogs helps me stay patient and calm in stressful situations.
“Jess was very thorough in her messages about my dogs’ well being, and asked appropriate questions regarding their behavior, as well as for clarification on changes to instructions. In the pictures I received, both my dogs appeared to be happy and well taken care of. I will ask Jess to take care of my girls in the future.”
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a deep passion for helping animals, and my long-term dream is to open my own dog shelter to help dogs find safer, happier homes. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also love helping families by making their lives easier and giving them peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring hands. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s about kindness, trust, and creating a positive experience for both pets and their people 🐾 I’m currently a high school senior I only go to school until 12 and I’m very flexible after that with a part time job after that!! I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs to to provide your fur baby lots of company! I can easily crate if needed!
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life! I have two cats, and ball python at home. I also know how to care for birds and small animals such as bunnies, hamsters, etc. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or scaled/feathered) family! I’m new to Bay City and work part time in Saginaw! I absolutely love all animals and volunteer time with various rescue organizations as well as volunteer with habitat rehabilitation groups. Unfortunately, I’m unable to provide care in my home at this time as I live with two kitties that are not good with other cats or with dogs :(
About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time. My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment. We also have fur babies here to keep company. We also have four kids for extra love and attention and outside play. We do not have a fenced yard and I also live by a busy one-way
“Shadow and his family give Merissa five out of five paws! If you are looking for someone to spend less than two minutes with your pet, Merissa may not be the person for you. She stopped by roughly 30 minutes during each visit and made sure that Shadow wasn't lonely while we were on vacation. She sent multiple pictures to us every time she stopped over, even if he wasn't interested in having his picture taken. Most importantly to us, she didn't give up on him. The first couple days, he was somewhat apprehensive with someone new looking after him -- he didn't want to eat much or play (which is unlike him). On Day 3, Merissa was able to finally get him out of his funk and act like his playful self (as supported by pictures). Someone else may have just decided to not put in the effort and let our sleepy dog lie, but that wasn't the case with her! So, by all means, don't pick Merissa unless your pet is ready to have someone play with him or her while you are gone. If you want your pet to feel lonely, don't pick her, because she will make sure that your pet gets a lot of attention. And definitely don't pick her, if your pet is camera shy, because you will never have to wonder for too long how your pet is doing. However, if you want to make sure that your pet is cared for while you are away, you should consider booking her right away. Again, Shadow rates her five out of five paws and that is what really matters!”
About: I love animals more than humans. Recently moved back to Michigan and would love to help love on your animals. I have always had a dog and other pets growing up, so caring for other’s pets is a way to keep animals in my life. I often petsit for friends and family while they are out of town, and would love to meet your furry friends as well!

I am also available to let animals out during the day or take them for a walk, as my work days are flexible. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding scheduling, fees, etc. I am not currently working so I’m very available when needed to help you and your family out. Available to staying in your home, or having your pet stay at mine, walks or stopping in for feed and to be let out. I have a fenced in yard and a little pup of my own. Obie is almost three and has been fixed. A 13 lb maltipoo and he loves to play. He gets along especially well with other small dogs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Linwood. On Rover:

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.
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.
