“Madeline was available last minute and made me feel safe leaving my kitties behind for a few days. She sent pictures of each of them to me and made me feel they were loved and well taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone needing help, especially those who may need extra cuddles or medication needs!”
“Jennifer is amazing and took great care of our puppy. She is very knowledgeable and truly has a love for animals. She is super responsive to messages and sent updates throughout the day which help us know our puppy was in good hands. She is very conscientious and insistent about leaving our home clean and perfect when we returned. Can’t recommend her enough. We were very pleased.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She watched our pups for the weekend and kept us updated with pictures and messages and was also respectful of our home. We appreciate her caring after the dogs and will definitely keep her at the top of our list for next time we need dog care!”
About: Getting to love on your "best friend" and keep them company or give them potty breaks would be a great privilege! I have had dogs all my life. My last one had to be assisted to walk for quite some time and required lots of pills. For the last 5 years, I have been house sitting for my two sons who each have two dogs. I would prefer to meet and greet so that you can decide if I would be a good fit. Although I have never done this for profit, I do believe I can make you happy. My neighbors can provide a reference if need be. I am currently unemployed and am available any time. I would like to be free to keep doctor's appointments. However, if that is not agreeable to you, I try to reschedule any appointments. I will make sure your fur babies have several potty breaks during the day and right before bed if I am staying in your home. I love to pet and play with them - according to their desires. Of course I can provide lots of pictures with my cell phone if you like.
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Taliyah was fantastic with Freya and Maybella! She made sure to provide consistent updates while maintaining responsibilities of what was requested. Will be using Taliyah again for the future!”
“Liz did a terrific job! Our pup is nervous around new people, and Liz patiently earned her trust. She brought in packages for us, and the house looked great with clean sheets on the bed. I would not hesitate to hire Liz to pet/house sit again.”
About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner with four years of dedicated pet-sitting experience, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to your pet's unique routine and personality. Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of real-world scenarios, from maintaining strict potty-training and crate schedules for energetic puppies to providing gentle, patient care for senior dogs who require frequent bathroom breaks and strict, time-sensitive medication administration. I love high-energy breeds that need structured exercise, but I am equally skilled with cats, sharing my home with a few of my own and confidently handling all types of feline behavior. Whether your cat is a clever escape artist requiring strict doorway vigilance, or a sassier kitty who tends to bite and scratch, I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and keep them safe and comfortable. When your pets are with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving the highest level of reliable, vigilant, and loving care. I work part-time as a barista, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day to dedicate to your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily adjust my sleeping and waking hours to match whatever routine your animal needs. You won't have to worry about disrupted routines or missed doses. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or yours, my primary goal is to provide a loving, calm, and predictable environment where they can truly thrive. I focus on creating a balanced routine that offers plenty of dedicated, high-energy playtime to burn off steam, paired with lots of peaceful downtime for them to rest and relax. I mirror their usual home environment as closely as possible to minimize anxiety, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and right at home.
“Avery does work a full time job so keep that in mind if you have a strict feeding schedule for your dogs which was a bit of a miscommunication on our part. She did give us updates as soon as she got home and cared well for our dogs. Overall, Avery did a good job watching them.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Dani watching Laylah! She went above and beyond in every way and treated Laylah like she was her own. While we were away, Laylah unfortunately had a seizure, and Dani handled the situation with so much care, calmness, and compassion. She kept us updated the entire time, made sure Laylah was safe and comfortable, and truly gave us so much peace of mind during a very stressful moment. She also sent tons of updates, pictures, and messages throughout the stay, which made us feel so connected and reassured. It was obvious Laylah was getting so much love and attention. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, communication, and the level of care she provided. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring for their pets!”
About: I am a true dog lover. I grew up with 2 dachshunds in my house for 11 years. I know how to care for them, keeping them active, following the eating, walking, and bathroom schedules. Your dog is in very good hands! I’m available in the afternoons during the week (I work in office every day) and am available all day on the weekends. My dogs were like family growing up so I will treat yours like that too. I like to live my life with a positive and happy attitude so I will share that with all interactions. I am also quick to respond and I understand that life can sometimes surprise us so last minute notices are welcomed. After all a dog is a man’s best friend :) I work full time in office so generally only have availability in the afternoon during the week or on weekends. Weekdays: anytime between 6pm - 8am Weekends: all day (this is usually why I prefer to do overnights during the weekend) I don’t have a dog currently so there won’t be any interaction with other animals in my home. We have a dog park behind my apartment complex. I follow the owner’s instructions on how they want me to care for the dog, having them on the leash at all times and/or if they feel comfortable allowing me to take the dog to a park where they may interact with others. It’s up to the owner.
“Sofia was wonderful with our little pups. When she came over to sit she brought them a little treat bad which was really sweet and you can tell she has a love for dogs. She took good care of them and communicated well. Her responses were all very immediate as well which gave us a peace of mind while we were out. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was amazing!! I have two high-energy dogs who absolutely love to play, and Lauren did such a great job keeping them happy and entertained. She played with them plenty, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was so great with communication throughout her stay. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with both of them. I would definitely recommend Lauren! she’s the best!”
“Anna did an amazing job with Mabel. She was communicative, sent photos, and treated our home with respect. I didn’t have to worry and I will be hiring her again soon!!! Highly recommended!”
“Honor took excellent care of my babies! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Madison was the best! This was our first time using rover / leaving our mini labradoodle with anyone outside of our family. She was so responsive and sent us a bunch of pics! She constantly kept us up to date on the weekend so we didn’t have to stress about Millie while we were gone. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Cassidy was so so great with our pups. Plenty of pictures were sent and i felt completely at ease leaving them in her care. You won’t regret booking Cassidy. She goes above and beyond!!”

Spencer stayed in our home for a last minute request and he did great with our 3 furbabies. They all were well cared for, I received regular updates and photos. He also kept our home clean and brought in our mail and packages. We appreciate Spencer, his care and communication with me in regard to our dog's and home. Thank you Spencer.
Sara is great!! Most times when we leave our dogs they stay by the door and don’t eat. Sara got them to eat while we were gone, and even leave from waiting at the door! She communicated with us throughout the trip and sent us lots of great pictures. We will absolutely be using her going forward!!
Jennifer was amazing! She watched our pups for the weekend and kept us updated with pictures and messages and was also respectful of our home. We appreciate her caring after the dogs and will definitely keep her at the top of our list for next time we need dog care!
Lauren went above and beyond for my boys! She handled them with absolute love and care! They are so lucky to have had her for their stay! Absolutely would have her over again! She played with them, communicated well, and took care of them like they were her own! So wonderful!
Alaini did a great job looking after our pups. She was able to accommodate us despite the booking being pretty last minute. Her communication was great and she was always quick to respond to messages. She was mindful of our care instructions and sent us great pictures or our pups throughout. We would definitely book with her again.
This was our first overnight booking, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our dogs were well cared for, comfortable, and happy while we were away. We received updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Makae and her family were incredible!! We are always anxious to leave our pup with someone else, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. They take such great care to keep your dogs on their routine and make sure they are comfortable! Makae was in constant communication, and we received so many updates and cute pictures. It is clear how much the family loves all dogs like their own, and we would absolutely trust them to watch our boy anytime!! ❤️
We had a great experience with Cecilia. She was able to accommodate us with a last-minute request and did a great job with communication. She paid attention to our pet care instructions, follow them and did a great job looking after our pups. We really appreciated how sweet she was with our little ones while we were away. We would not hesitate using her again in the future.
Kenzie did an amazing job helping us out with a last minute sitting request. She had great communication both before and throughout the sitting.. She was also attentive as we went over the care instructions for our little ones. During the stay she kept us updated on our pups and sent us pictures which we love. Wouldn’t hesitate using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saginaw on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,996 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 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.
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.
