“Ann was absolutely incredible! Our English Bulldogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but she took exceptional care of them. She stayed in constant communication while we were away, sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing how much fun they were having made it so much easier for us to relax on our trip. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare our home for the winter storm that hit while we were gone. Ann was truly a blessing, and our boys already can't wait to see her again 😊”
“Madison took excellent care of Olive! She is trusting, responsive and sent pictures of my pup as requested! I would highly recommend Madison and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs. Additionally, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have experience with many basic care skills. I am familiar with routine care such as feeding routines, walking, bathing, and training. I have ample experience with oral, injectable, and topical medications, and can confidently administer first aid if necessary. Additionally, I am ready to slow down and give extra care to any senior or special needs animal who may need a little more attention. I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures! I currently don’t work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. They can have my full attention, I can make frequent visits, or just drop by every once in a while, whatever works best! Saturdays I am not available for walks, but I am happy to sit through the weekend if needed! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home. Whether they are high maintenance or totally chill, I am willing to provide whatever necessary to make sitting as stress-free as possible!
“Cassidy is amazing!! I have two high energy border collies and she took such amazing care of them. Cassidy treated them as if they were her own giving them lots and lots of play time and followed the instructions we left perfectly. Even going above and beyond and helping with packages and other things! I appreciated having a sitter like her so much!! I got lots of updates and great pictures of the dogs throughout the stay. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for impeccable dog care!”
“Andressa was so wonderful with our Duke while we were travelling out of state and while she stayed at our home she followed all our directions and even provided some new tips for getting our boy to eat for her! We hope to have her sit for our Duke again and we felt very at ease as she sent us photos, videos every single day to put our minds at ease until we got home! Thanks Andressa for taking such good care of our boy and you are such a very lovely person!!! 🤗”
“Yvette took excellent care of Bailey. He is 15 and not feeling his best; yet, she was there for him all the time she watched him while we were at a son’s wedding. Anyone who is looking for the best care for your pet, you can’t go wrong with Yvette.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Jennifer is fantastic. She was so prepared when we first met her and went above and beyond for our puppies. She even took one of the dogs to the vet for us for a cough. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Having Ashley as our sitter was the perfect decision! We were able to enjoy our honeymoon knowing that we’d get pictures of our dogs walking, playing, or just relaxing twice a day! She was very caring, professional, and kept me well informed—especially about my dog that sometimes skips meals. Definitely would rebook with Ashley :)”
“Tyler did an excellent job taking care of our 3 dogs' individual need at our home while we were gone on a much needed vacation. He gave medicine to our senior dog who is blind and helped our dogs through their separation anxiety in our absence. He even sent us pics.”
“Ethan is a great sitter who takes care of our sweet pup who seems to really enjoy his company. We come home to a happy girl and our house as we left it. Ethan is definitely worth recommending!”
“Brian was wonderful. He was timely, early even and understanding of Diamond needing extra care. He followed my instructions and was attentive to her. So grateful I found him, he gave me peace of mind for the day.”
About: Ever since I could remember, I have been raised in a household with multiple dogs. I was allowed to supervise them while my parents would go on vacations, which was always a blast. While working for Rover, I have gained much experience handling elderly animals, administering oral medications, and learning how to bond with even the most timid animals. I love working with dogs and cats since it is a rewarding experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work as a Rover pet sitter and dog walker while completing my online master’s program. I have flexibility throughout the week to schedule walks, drop ins, and pet sitting visits around my coursework. I do ask for about two days notice when possible so I can plan ahead and set aside dedicated time for each pet. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care while balancing my school schedule. I am also very strict with frequent restroom breaks for the pets so they don't experience discomfort under my care. If needed, I can administer oral medications to both cats and dogs. In addition, I'm always careful with animals and their body language. Your pet must be feeling safe and comfortable with me, so I always encourage owners to meet with me for a meet and greet before I begin visits!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saginaw is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saginaw
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!
Spencer stayed in our home and watched 2 of our furbabies for 3 nights and did a great job. He made sure to communicate with us, providing updates and photos. When we got back home, he left our home the same way he found it and we would have never known he had stayed there. He took great care of our dogs and home, which is greatly appreciated. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Spencer.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saginaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saginaw on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,038 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
