“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!”
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 we would be a good fit for each other . 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. The three years of experience are mostly from staying with my son’s dogs I am currently starting substitute teaching meaning I could be away from your home 5 - 9 hours per day on teaching days. On non teaching days, 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. On holidays, I would like to be free to join my family 4-8 hours depending on your dogs needs. 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.
“Brenda did a wonderful job watching Scarlett at our home. She sent us videos everyday and let us know how things were going. It can take Scarlett some time to get used to new people but within a day she was already following Brenda around the house. I would definitely recommend Brenda to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you so much for watching our little Scarlett!”
“Honor was wonderful with Klooney while I was away for several hours. She updated me with photos and kept me informed of how things were going. I will definitely reach out to Honor next time I need help taking care of Klooney.”
About: I have a dog of my own, an Australian shepherd named Lady. I have taken care of a few dogs before and I quite enjoy it. I love and enjoy walking dogs. I also enjoy cats as well. I have had a cat for about 16 years. she was my very first pet ever to have. She has been with me since I was a baby. Sadly she passed in August of 2021. I can do the weekends from anytime. I can stop by after 6 o’clock to check up on your furry friends. But normally the weekends is when I’m free. I make sure that the dog or dogs are fed and taken care of course. I follow the owner's details and rules. I am very patient and outgoing and also a very active person.
About: I am my friends’ go-to pet sitter. I love animals! I have taken care of several dogs and cats over the years. I am currently fostering cats now because I love them so much! My typical/ current availability: I am currently working part-time M-Th afternoons, so I am available in the mornings, late evenings, and on the weekends! I will follow the instructions for taking care of your fur baby carefully and will make sure they are loved and safe while you are away!
About: My Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I was raised around smaller dogs, so that’s what I grew up knowing first. As I got older, I started being around bigger breeds too, and over time I got just as comfortable with them. I’ve also grown up around horses, fish, rabbits, and different kinds of animals, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. A lot of what I know about dogs comes from actually growing up with them—seeing their different personalities, learning their routines, understanding when they want attention and when they need their space, and learning how much they rely on the people taking care of them. I’ve gotten to experience the fun parts of raising animals, but I’ve also experienced what it’s like to lose one. Going through that made me realize even more how much these animals become a part of your life. Because of that, when I take care of someone’s pet, I don’t look at them as just another dog I’m watching. I think about how I would want my own pets to be treated if I wasn’t there. I want them to feel comfortable with me, keep their normal routine, and have someone around who genuinely enjoys being with them. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure I have enough time to provide each pet with consistent, attentive care. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions, respect their space, and keep their pets’ routines consistent. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while providing a calm, loving environment.
“Lexcy did an incredible job looking after our pups while we were away. She communicated well throughout the stay, kept us updated and sent us pictures and videos that made us feel at ease. We couldn’t have been happier with how she looked after our pups!”
“Brittany took care of our pup with no problems. We appreciate her communication and willingness to meet our pup before her stay. We also appreciate her being respectful to his schedule and keeping him active!”
About: With several years of dedicated experience, I provide reliable and attentive care tailored to your dog's specific personality. I specialize in providing structured, engaging walks that ensure your pet gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I am also comfortable with senior care, understanding the patience and gentle approach required for older dogs who may have mobility issues or specific health needs. My goal is to maintain your dog's routine and happiness, so they feel cared for even while you're away. I also have strong familiarity with cats as I have one of my own and also foster kittens. Pet care fits into my lifestyle thanks to my part-time schedule working for a local game store and crafting. Because my work hours are flexible and limited, I have significant availability throughout the week to dedicate my attention to your pets. Whether it is providing midday walks, overnight stays, or consistent companionship, I can easily coordinate my professional commitments around your pet's specific routine to ensure they feel cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining a safe, secure, and stress-free environment that mimics their usual routine. I treat every home with the utmost respect, ensuring all doors and gates are securely locked and that the space remains clean and tidy. I follow your specific instructions to the letter; from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and boundary rules. I want your pets to feel comfortable and confident. By staying attentive to their behavior and keeping a close eye on their temperament, I aim to provide a trusted experience where your pets can feel safe in their own familiar environment. I am comfortable with sending as many or as few updates as you like.
“Avery has watched Percy for us several times and always does a fantastic job. She takes great care of him and always sends fun action shots that keep us updated. We feel confident and at ease knowing Percy is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Madeline & Isaiah are so great! They took care of our pups just like their own and were very diligent with their feeding & overall care. Super communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for in home dog sitting or even drop ins! They routinely do both visit types for us and we truly can’t give them enough praises for how well they take care of our fur babies.”
“Kaitlynn has been nothing but the best for watching our hyper dogs , we appreciate how she has adjusted to them & how much they enjoy her company. I would definitely recommend 10/10 for anyone searching for a dog sitter”
About: As an active dog lover, I know how important exercise and routine are for a happy pet. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, whether they need high-energy walks, gentle neighborhood strolls, or scheduled feeding and play visits. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care so you have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home so I am always here :) I currently have two small dogs myself. I work from home so I have all day with your fur- babies! I have a flexible daily routine, allowing me to give pets frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. Whether hosting dogs in my home or handling walks and drop-ins, I easily adapt to your pet’s specific feeding and exercise schedule I live in a house with a securely fenced yard that features a cute mini bridge, offering a safe and fun area for outdoor play.
“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!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and truly enjoy working with all breeds and personalities.

I feel that most pets are more comfortable at home. I can’t wait
“Miranda is an amazing dog sitter! I am very happy that I found her and that she is able to care for my two dogs. It is hard to find someone you trust to not just watch your dogs, but also to stay overnight with them for a long period of time. She stayed at our house for over a week and took care of the dogs very well. They enjoyed being with her and were sad to see her leave once we got back. She is great with communication and always sending photos of the pups. The dogs cannot wait to have her back!!”

There isn’t enough space to talk about how amazing Donna was with my Toby. She watched him while we were out of the country for 10 days. She managed well and all his little wants and needs. When I returned he was very happy to see me but he was calm and content. She gave updates, and even managed a leaking roof crisis while I was gone. Her communication, attention and genuine caring and desire for my baby to be happy was her priority. I will use her again and again.
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 fantastic experience with Lizbeth from start to finish. She stayed overnight in our home for a little over a week and took excellent care of Bella. Lizbeth was incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and clearly attentive to Bella’s needs the entire time. When we returned, the house was spotless, and everything was just as we left it. She was very responsive throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Lizbeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter.
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.

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!

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 .

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.
