“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!”
“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!!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with the girls. We definitely will call upon Amanda the next time we need someone to take care of Esperanza and Faith. Amanda was fantastic.”
“We had a great experience with April! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Communication was great throughout the stay and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos. She even went above and beyond by offering to take our trash/recycling out since she noticed it might be trash day while we were away. So thoughtful! We’d happily book with her again!”
“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!”
“Kelley took wonderful care of our house, plants, and most importantly, our pups! When we returned home, they seemed 100% their normal selves and it was very clear they were well cared for while we were away. Will be booking again!”

I follow consistent schedules for feeding and exercise, offer plenty of one-on-one attention through play and affection, and manage any specific medical or dietary needs. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is safe, secure, and receiving the highest level of love and care right at home.
About: For over the past 3 years I’ve been pet sitting for family,coworkers,etc. I’ve worked with multiple kinds of dogs and can handle very different situations!! I have 3 fur babies of my own!! I have two kitty’s and one puppy. My cats are about 2 years old and my Dog is 6 months old. So everyday is a new challenge for me but nothing to difficult that I can overcome! My puppy stays in a crate for the night time portion so I know a lot of crate training. Also with cats using a litter box!
“Jerin was absolutely amazing. She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away on vacation. My GSD was taken care of so well. I genuinely recommend Jerin to anyone who’s on the fence or nervous about leaving their pet for any period of time. You will not be disappointed and your pet will make a new best friend!”

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.

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.

We would not hesitate using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saginaw is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. 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.

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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
