“Jen was excellent!! The dogs loved her. She was great and I had peace of mind while I was out of town. She has a love and compassion for pets. She understood they are my babies and she did a wonderful job caring for them. She was more then willing to help and went above and beyond. I liked her character and trusted her to come in and out of our home. She has a beautiful spirit, fun and caring.💕 If you're looking for someone to care for your pet Jen is your girl!! 😇”

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.

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’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.

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: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.

Michelle took wonderful care of our cats while we were away on a cruise.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saginaw

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saginaw is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, 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 335 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saginaw. 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 .

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 , 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 Saginaw. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
