About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have open scheduling times besides holidays and personal appointments. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.
“Shannon took very good care of my cat while I was gone. She and Pharaoh bonded with him sitting in her lap during most visits. I really appreciated getting a photo everyday. Shannon paid close attention to all the items on my list to her. I will be happy to hire her again.”
“Almost two months in, Jayce continues to care for Booby and Crandall like a champ! Jayce is conscientious and so very caring. She's the embodiment of "above and beyond." Your pet can't get a better pal!”

I’m excited to continue the dog daycare here in Saginaw and hope you choose our home for your best friend! Send us a message with any questions or concerns and I will gladly get back with you when I can! We have a Shiba Eskimo. Dog care is part of our everyday routine. We love our dog and routinely let her out at regular times throughout the day. Usually morning, afternoon, evening and night. Your dogs environment will be a hit! We have a dog park right outside our backyard, with plenty of fun to be had. Our dog is super friendly and our loving kids will make your dog feel right at home.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I've learned how to walk dogs, litter train cats, administer medications, trim nails, and give bathes. I've pet sit for my grandma plenty of times before and decided I want to give it a go for other people. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I routinely care for! I am a stay at home fiancee so I have all the free time in the world! I have open availability unless stated otherwise, and I am eager to be a helping hand to those who need it. I care for pets with love and gentleness in the home of my clients. I'm patient and willing to learn and do things in a way that will make the pets feel comfortable and loved. I can clean litter boxes, clean waste from dogs on walks or even in backyards if that's preferred, I can administer medications or give baths if needed. I could also trim nails if the owner is comfortable with it and it's needed
“Michelle was wonderful! She was easy to book, she stayed in contact, and sent us pictures of our 2 cats during her visits. We felt very comfortable on our holiday knowing our pets were in good hands!”
“Laura is perfect! She has such a nice personality, she arrives on time, feeds our kittens and plays with them. She gave us daily updates with pictures while we were on vacation to let us know everything was going well. We will definitely have Laura watch our kittens again!”
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 15, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and daily routines. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always focus on safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently on a month-long break from SVSU, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of availability throughout the day to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, and attention on both weekdays and weekends. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and ensure a calm environment. I can crate pets if needed, provide regular updates, and always respect your home and your pet’s boundaries.
“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 :)”
About: I just moved here about two months ago from Mackinac Island and would love to make some extra money, and I figured I would join Rover and do something I love! I grown up with dogs and cats, and have pet sit for plenty of friends and family. I love all animals, but dogs and cats hold a special place in my heart. I believe in treating all animals, like their my own. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy while I am hanging out with them! I am a full time college student and also work at a hospital. I am available Mon & Wed anytime after 3:30, Tues & Thurs anytime before 7pm and anytime on weekends! I will constantly be watching them, giving them lots of attention and care. I follow instructions to a tee and will always go out of my way to give them the best care that they deserve.
“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!”
“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: 🐾 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.
“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! ?”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
