“Lisa was excellent. We felt comfortable that our fur baby was getting the care we expected. She is knowledgeable and client focused with a professional approach.”
About: Hi, I’m Tessa - I run T’s One Acre Bark & Breakfast! 🐾 With one acre to play on and a cozy home to relax in, I give every pet safe, loving care. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR certified, have completed a course in Veterinary Assistant training, and am trained/certified in Fear Free™ - Leaders in Animal Wellbeing. While studying Fear Free, I have learned valuable information regarding dog body language, stress signals, and how to create a calm, positive environment for each pet. This means I use gentle handling, reward-based interactions, and stress-reducing techniques to make sure your furry family member feels comfortable and cared for at all times. My goal is to provide not just a safe place, but one where pets truly enjoy their stay, whether they’re here to play, rest, or cuddle up for some quiet time. We love visitors of all walks of life; seniors, puppies, and everything in between. We’ll treat your pet like one of our own and keep you updated every step of the way ❤️ In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer drop-in visits; perfect for pets who feel most comfortable at home. Whether it’s potty breaks, mealtime, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet’s routine stays on track and they get the attention they deserve. Beyond errands needing to get done or going to town for appointments, I am always home. My husband assists in care when he is home as well. We have a lovely dog of our own - so they are always in our schedule with potty breaks, play, eating times and everything in between! Our acre is fenced and ready for exploring, relaxing, and playtime! We also have three children that are eager to shower your family member with an abundance of love and attention.
About: I've always been in a household that has had at least one dog growing up in California to my travels here to Oregon 9 years ago where I fell in love with the state and made a home here. I have had goldens and labs, and have taken care of a wide variety of sizes and shapes of pups, from the smallest pup to the sweet yet slobbery Mastiff. I currently have one dog who is my boyfriend's service dog, she is a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that is the calmest dog until you get her football out! Then the play never stops. Since she cannot go to work with him anymore, she would not mind a buddy to play with. We constantly take her for walks and runs and swims. Very dog friendly house I have afternoons open and available and almost every weekend! I love getting out and walking dogs around the neighborhood or taking them to a park I have a fenced in yard for Cammie or any dog to run around, go outside to take care of their needs, or chase a bird or squirrel! The high school field is right down the block that we can go to any time
About: Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for around 10 years! Between looking after family pets, pet sitting for friends, and spending a summer interning and volunteering at a veterinary clinic, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes overnight house sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and caring for pets who require medication. During my time at the veterinary clinic, I also had the opportunity to assist with day-to-day tasks and gain valuable experience in an animal care environment. I know that pets are family, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or needs a little extra attention, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members! I’m a recent University of Oregon graduate and am currently back in my hometown for a little while, so I’m excited to spend some of my extra time doing something I love—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible right now, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines, whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or someone to keep them company while you’re away. With my current flexibility, I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I currently have several pets in my own home, so I don’t offer pet sitting or boarding at my house. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe, relaxed, and surrounded by familiar things! I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine, especially while their owners are away. I always make sure to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household rules. I’m also mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, maintaining a clean environment, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and comfortable.
“Leigh was amazing! Our Monty was so comfortable with her. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. It was great to see how relaxed and happy he was. We look forward to working with Leigh again and we highly recommend her services!”
“First off, Adria is amazing! She is dependable/flexible and great with animals! She watched my dogs at my home and left everything tidy and my dogs loved her! Your dogs will be well cared for and your home will be also!”
“Ada did a terrific job. She and my dog, Pinot, bonded well and she was wonderful in caring for him and my house. I felt really comfortable leaving everything in great hands while I was out of the country for a week. We were able to remain in contact and she sent me periodic updates and a few photos as well. I highly recommend her services and hope to schedule her again for a future engagement.”
“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Caitlin! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier! Her communication was fantastic. She was professional, thoughtful and a great house sitter overall. Most importantly, all of our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Caitlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“We left both our dogs with Finley for a week while we were out of town and came home to happy dogs and an amazingly clean home. Finley is friendly, responsible, and he was very flexible with a few unexpected issues that came up while we were away. We would absolutely have him stay with our pups again.”
“Natalia was so wonderful! She took such good care of our two dogs and cat… When we returned from our trip, we could tell they had been very much loved and taken good care of! Natalia is very kind and warm person and clearly loves animals. We would not hesitate to have her come back! She is amazing!”
About: I am an avid lover of animals and take my treatment of them to heart. I can keep your pup or kitty very happy and very healthy. My last old guy was a diabetic with a thyroid condition for the last 8 years of his life (2 insulin shots a day. 2 thyroid pills a day.) I’m very comfortable with giving medicine or shots to any animal. That includes emergency situations or routine management for the fur babies. My schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available most every day except for special occasions. I have a routine cancellation policy, but I’m pretty chill. I have a big fenced yard with beautiful grass and lots of things to smell. My house is single story with lots of open space for zoomies.
About: I have experience working as a vet tech during the summer of 2021, along with experience nursing/raising newborn puppies at home. I love all animals! I work remote all week! I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted based upon client’s preferred time of service. I do travel for work occasionally, but my calendar is updated with all future travel plans. I can easily make your pet feel safe and confident with a stranger in their home! All pets will receive attention, care, and importantly: love.
“This was my first time using a pet sitter from a service and Michell made me feel very comfortable with the excellent care she gave my dog. She communicated well and gave my dog lots of attention. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
About: I was raised in a ranch surrounded by animals, from dogs, to cows,chickens, cats,goats, you name it. I love it, now I have two dogs of my own and its really a great experience. I have experience with indoor and outdoor pets. I am very responsible, respectful and I will treat your pet as if it is my own. I was raised in a ranch surrounded by animals, from dogs, to cows,chickens, cats,goats, you name it. I love it, now I have two dogs of my own and its really a great experience. I have experience with indoor and outdoor pets. I am very responsible, respectful and I will treat your pet as if it is my own. I work a full time job but I am off on Fridays and Saturdays. I am also available any other day after 2:30pm. Since I do have two dogs right now, I cannot pet sit at my own place. But I know all about the parks and trails within Eugene and Springfield, OR.
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.
“It seemed like our pup enjoyed her time with Maggie and got lots of cuddles in! Maggie left our apartment the same as how we left it and she even took out the trash. Thank you, Maggie!”
About: I have years of experience volunteering with all types of dogs and cats. I started volunteering at a pit bull rescue center when I was 10. I have also volunteered at the Elk Grove animal shelter with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I have always loved animals and love caring for friends and family’s pets whenever they need me. I have a lot of availability on weekends. I am a full time student at the university of Oregon and also dedicate time to a couple nonprofit organizations. So during the week I am mostly free during evening/night. I am open to caring for animals in any way I can. Whether that be feeding, brushing, play time, enrichment, walks, etc. I will care for your pets as you care for them and ensure that they get as much love and care as possible.
About: Experienced owner, foster, and sitter for dogs of all ages and needs. Ability to administer medication, go for walks and provide plenty of stimulation/play time. I am a self employed wedding photographer, with a very open weekday schedule. Most of my work days are on one weekend day a week, with a lot of flexible availability. I care for all pets with the love and care I give to my own. Our animals deserve intentional and safe interactions, exercise, and routine.
“Upon returning from our week long vacation our home was very clean and tidy. The dogs were happy and healthy. Lisa communicated during our vacation with updates on the dogs. No issues with the care Lisa provided and we felt that she was honest and trustworthy. Thank You, Memoriee”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saginaw
Hannah is my cat's newest best friend! She looked after our very needy 13 year old cat, turtle, and fish/aquarium. Each day I had contact with all of them... Hannah did an amazing job to make me feel totally at ease about leaving them. AND when I returned, I swear - they all seemed better than I'd left them. Her attention to care for them and communication with us, not to mention being willing to stay and look after everything - water plants/etc. We came home feeling totally refreshed, house was warm and clean, and so grateful to have had Hannah's help! My cat is honestly conspiring to get her back 😆
Hannah took amazing care of our fur-babies while we were in Cancun. From the start, she was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring. She sent frequent updates that gave us so much peace of mind and it was clear she was really paying attention to each of their needs. What stood out most was how patient and respectful she was with them. She gave them the time and space they needed to adjust rather than pushing them into situations that made them uncomfortable. That level of understanding and empathy means everything when you are trusting someone with your pets. We came home to happy, relaxed animals and a well cared for home. We would absolutely trust Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly treats your pets like her own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saginaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 626 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.
Tip: 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
