About: I have had a fur baby in my life since I was young, having a dog and/or cat completes my family. I am very loving and attentive. Having a fully fenced in yard with room to run will allow your baby to have fun, get excercise, and have independence. I am always up for a nice bath to calm, soothe, or just clean your baby if needed. I promise to take great care of your fur baby! I also have experience with breathing issues, special food requirements, and climate control. I also have experience with goats and macaws. I am the owner of a small business so I have plenty of time on my hands since I have started working from home. I am available 24/7, just let me know when you need a sitter and we can work out a schedule for your needs. The only items you need to bring: collar, leash, and food. You can bring special toy or blanket too if you would like. I have a small Boston terrier named Bella that just loves everybody, she has never been aggressive or bit anyone. I have a crazy, silly cat named Benny that is very shy but mostly likes girl dogs. Bella plays inside and out, but Bennie is purely an indoor girl.
“We love Maria! She is very flexible and anyone who can handle my two little gremlins is a superhero! We have her come over a few days weekly due to our crazy work schedule and will continue to do so! Saves us so much trouble and the pups are so grateful! ?”

“Madison was so sweet with our needy cats who always get sooo lonesome when we’re gone. She sent us lots of photos after each visit showing her doing all the special things besides feeding for them. She went above and beyond. We so appreciated her! Thank you so much, Madison.”

About: I have experience taking care of different breeds and sizes of dogs (small, medium large) through my years. From managers at work to friends to recommendations from friends of friends to care for dogs, I’m always eager and willing to bond with and care for your animal. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I own a very friendly and cordial cat named Saturn. I have had him for 4 years and learned much about pet care for cats and dogs through having him. In addition at least once a month I am helping out a friend with their dogs walking, feeding, playing, spending the night at the house, etc. I have only watched a dog once at my house before, although I do have fenced backyard and live in a family of 5 (2 adult 3 children) sized house. Typically I have gone to the owners house to housesit/ dog watch simultaneously. The dogs of the owners I have watched over the years do better at their own home and I do not mind spending the night.

“Tabitha took great care of my cats during our vacation. She quickly bonded with 2 of my 3 fuzzies (one is a feral rescue and only comes to me), offered to clean litter boxes, and kept their feeding area clean. She gave me back my ability to travel! I'm so very pleased, and hope to be calling on Tabitha again!”
“Makayla is so kind and so great with my kitty, Misty. My kitty loves her and they really enjoy each other! Definitely will keep booking her to care for my Misty. Highly recommend.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life growing up and have had them into my adult life. I dog sit for a friend now on a regular basis. I work part-time doing hair during the week. I now work on the weekends at doubletree, so my availability is limited now. But ask and see if we can work something out! I'd be happy to dog sit if I can! I have a nice sized fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. My dog loves to meet new friends! I can also go to your house and let your dog(s) out and take them for walks if needed! I have a separate room to crate also if need be.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from guinea pigs to elderly dogs. I am a graduate from the University of Michigan and am studying at Tufts for the next two years. I dog sat after school for a while and took care of puppies, elderly pets, and bunnies. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am busy on Wednesdays, but my weekends and others days of the week are much more flexible. Afternoons are always best but I can make things work! I cannot provide pet care in my home, but I can come to you! I have experience helping older dogs, active, large dogs, giving dogs and cats medication, trimming claws, and going on runs or walks.
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience and my genuine passion for caring for animals. I have over four years of hands-on experience working with dogs in a variety of settings, giving me the skills and confidence to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have worked in both doggy daycare and boarding facilities, where I cared for groups of dogs every day. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, monitoring dog behavior, ensuring safe interactions, feeding, administering medications when needed, and providing individualized care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has taught me how to recognize stress signals, prevent conflicts, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. In addition to my professional experience, I have volunteered as a dog walker at a local animal shelter. Working with shelter dogs has given me experience handling dogs that may be shy, fearful, or still learning to trust people. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also provided pet care for friends, family, and members of my local community, caring for dogs in their own homes while their owners were away. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving pets companionship and love, I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and maintaining excellent communication with pet owners. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your pet feels comfortable, and you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my weekly routine. I am a full-time student at Saginaw Valley State University and a member of the SVSU Dance Team, but I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to working around my classes and practices to meet the needs of my clients. I understand that pets rely on consistency, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight care whenever my schedule allows. I plan my time carefully so I can provide dependable, high-quality care and give every pet the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, overnight companionship, or care while you’re away for several days, I strive to be as flexible and reliable as possible. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’m passionate about, and I enjoy building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else's care can be a big decision, which is why I take every step to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and comfortable. I create a calm and welcoming environment for your dog or cat, where they can feel at ease while you're away. Whether it’s keeping their routine consistent, providing plenty of mental and physical stimulation, or simply offering lots of love and attention, I’m committed to treating your pet like my own. I take safety seriously, with constant supervision, secure areas for play, and a vigilant eye to ensure no accidents happen. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll be fully attentive to your pet's needs and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always feel connected.

About: Owned and taken care of dogs for 10 years, working with breeds that have special issues. Own a dog, cat, and 4 fish! Lots of training for all of my animals as well! Currently I work 5am-2pm on most days so I am available for 2/3 visits afterwards and occasionally an overnight stay. I have my own dog who gets out 4ish times a day and has a daily long walk with playtime in the dog park! I currently live in an apartment which offers a dog park, I am able to accommodate to what your pet needs. Longer walks for exercise I can do but if they just need a buddy to stop in and check on them I am open to that as well! I am respectful in housing and try and go above and beyond when possible.
About: I have provided loving dog care services in my home for 10 plus years. Large private fenced yard for safety, plus perfect for running & playing. I have an open schedule most weeks throughout the year. I love the company of dogs and I enjoy having them share my home often. Since I'm home, setting up a routine that works for the dog's needs is important and easy to accomplish. Lots of one-on-one attention provided daily.

About: Dogs have always been my greatest passion. I have over 10 years of experience rescuing and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m originally from Peru, where there are many stray dogs, and I volunteered with several animal shelters, helping rescue, rehabilitate, and care for dogs in need. After moving to Michigan, I continued doing what I love by working at the Humane Society of Manistee County, where I walked dogs and helped care for them every day. I also have 3–4 years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. I understand how important it is to earn a dog’s trust and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I will care for your dog as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I love spending my time with pets. Being around dogs and cats genuinely makes me happy, and I’m committed to giving them the attention, love, and care they deserve whenever you need me. At this time, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for dogs and cats. Unfortunately, I’m not able to provide boarding or daycare in my home because I currently live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay relaxed, maintain their routine, and receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care.
About: I have 4 years experience working with dogs in a shelter/boarding setting, as well as 10 years experience as a pet sitter. My experiences include walking, bathing, administering medications, playtime/enrichment. I have experience with puppies aged 8 weeks, all the way to senior dogs. I also have experience with dogs that are reactive to other dogs, have behavioral problems, allergies/dietary needs. I work roughly 30-37 hours a week, 7 hour days. I'm typically home from work around 3pm and can provide pet care from 4pm-10pm most days. For my own pets (I have 11 cats), I care for their basic needs as anyone would. Feeding/watering, cleaning litter boxes daily, playtime, administering any medications they may need, etc. For your pets, I would give the same care as I would my own, with respect to any recommendations or preferences you have.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am still in college and work a part time job until 6pm on the weekdays. However, I can make myself available before 6pm upon request! I do not work on the weekends so I am a available for your pet care needs! I would prefer to watch your pets in your home. I will keep an eye on each animal and care for your pet like it’s my own.
About: I have experience with animals in all settings. I have helped distract puppies when they receive their first shots and I have helped dogs who get laser therapy. I have helped care for the pets family and friend throughout my entire life. I have always enjoyed helping people but helping pets is so special. I work part time 0.5 mile away from home. I usually work from 12pm- 8pm. Or later in the evening usually between 5pm - 2 am. When I am not home my boyfriend is home most of the day. I live in a safe and quiet apartment, without a fenced in yard. I have an American bulldog mix. I enjoy going for walks and bringing out the best in my favorite fuzzy critters.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saginaw stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Saginaw 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Saginaw with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
