“Shannon has been with my dogs twice now. First time was as a drop in visit and second time was house sitting for 4 days. She kept me updated throughout the time I was away as well as kept my dogs very happy. They loved being with her and I was pleased with her care for my dogs. Shannon will now be my regular pet sitter as she is available and willing!”

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.

“Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.”

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Cassidy, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I help operate our family-run pet care business, Furry Cuddles and Care LLC, where we’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats through boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and house sitting. I grew up helping care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and multi-pet households. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, potty schedules, crate training, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, structured home environment where pets are treated like family, not like they’re in a kennel. Pets staying with me receive lots of supervision, attention, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including homes with multiple pets. I also understand how important communication is to pet parents, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and messages during every stay. As a college athlete and honors student, I’m dependable, organized, responsible, and committed to providing safe and loving care for every pet entrusted to me. 🐾 What I Offer (Drop-Ins + House Sitting) I provide drop-in visits and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home while you’re away. I can help with:     •    Feeding + fresh water     •    Walks, playtime, and enrichment     •    Litter box care and basic cleaning     •    Medication (routine, non-injectable)     •    Calming anxious or shy pets     •    Cuddles or space, whatever your pet prefers     •    Photos and updates every visit     •    Watering plants, bringing in mail, and light home care My home is set up to provide a safe, comfortable, home-style environment for pets. I am not a kennel or high-volume boarding facility. I intentionally provide personalized care and supervision so pets feel relaxed and at home during their stay. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and experience safely managing dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I can separate pets when needed and are experienced with introductions, nervous dogs, puppies, and pets that need extra attention. I also have cat-friendly spaces with separate areas available for cats or pets that need quieter accommodations. 🐾 Why You Can Trust Me Pet care has always been a family effort for us, and it’s something I genuinely care deeply about. Through helping operate our family’s pet care business, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets or entering your home, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I’m responsible, dependable, respectful, and truly love animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs extra patience and attention, I work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a calm, loving, home-style environment rather than a kennel experience.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and previously had a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve. I'm currently working at Bronner's outside of Rover, from 8-4:30 three days a week. This would just mean that for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I will be unable to provide services during those times but can still do so outside of then or even feed a pet in the morning before leaving and after I return. It changes depending on what is needed, but I prioritize the pet's safety, and the client's home condition. Leaving the place as it was when I arrived, if not better is a priority of mine, as I hate leaving messes. I always follow medical instructions.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saginaw

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Saginaw on Rover is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $57 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 188 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saginaw. 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 Saginaw 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 Saginaw 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saginaw. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
