“Erin was fantastic as always. My girl is always so excited to hang out at her house with the other dogs and her boys. She comes home so worn out from having the best time. We really appreciate everything she does to keep our girl safe and happy while we are away. So grateful”
“Jessica was amazing with my Pomsky Snowball! I was initially very nervous because my dog had separation anxiety from me and can sometimes be a handful. Jessica sent me lots of pictures and kept my boy busy and happy! My boy has never had much socialization with other dogs and he ended up loving her pets! Highly satisfied!”
“Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.”
“Joni was the perfect match for our dachshund, Coby. He had a wonderful time and was loved and cared for as if he were her own dog. It was like a doggie resort. Joni has her entire house fixed perfectly for dogs. We will definitely be asking Joni watch Coby again in the future.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Kathy was a great sitter. Finley was very well taken care of and given a lot of love and attention. We were updated with pictures and texts which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. -Susan”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“I strongly recommend Alisha! She was always in touch and sending me updates of my pups. With her fenced yard my dogs were able to enjoy outdoor play and even made new friends with the neighbor's dogs. The onboarding went smooth and the pick up as well. I always felt my dogs were well taken care of, not with a stranger but with "grandma".”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Jeanne did a great job with my puppy. Pepper was nervous but Jeanne put her at ease and was able to get her to warm up and be comfortable in an unfamiliar setting.”
“Coco and Bella loved their stay with Ed. He sent great updates so we were able to enjoy our vacation and not have to worry about our dogs. We will be using him again!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ralph to watch our German shepherd. We asked him to watch her pretty last minute and he was very accommodating and took great care of her. She walked in as if she remembered that she was somewhere that she trusted. Highly recommend Ralph!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”

“Jennifer is a pet lover doggies and kittens. She took such great care of our cats while we were out of town for a few days. She is trust worthy and went above and beyond staying to give our cats love and was flexible feeding our special needs cats and giving medication. We will definitely be hiring Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Kaitlyn went above and beyond for our two cats. They’re indoor/outdoor cats and usually go out at 8pm and come home by 6am. She was up every morning before 6 to let them in! We also have a very timid cat and he took a real liking to her. She gave us lots of pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Will definitely be re-booking her in the future :)”
“Michelle was wonderful! Very quick to respond to my booking request and, after we spoke on the phone, any concerns I may have had disappeared. I really appreciated the prompt response to messages, and the daily photo updates kept my mind at ease. The best part was Meko didn't seem stressed at all when I picked her up, like she usually does when i have boarded her at different kennels. Couldn't ask for a better experience, and Michelle will be my go to sitter going forward!”
About: Hi! My name is Kendra and our family of 3 owns a house with a fenced in back yard that is awaiting your pup! I’m excited to continue the dog daycare here in Saginaw and hope you choose our home for your best friend! Send us a message with any questions or concerns and I will gladly get back with you when I can! We have a Shiba Eskimo. Dog care is part of our everyday routine. We love our dog and routinely let her out at regular times throughout the day. Usually morning, afternoon, evening and night. Your dogs environment will be a hit! We have a dog park right outside our backyard, with plenty of fun to be had. Our dog is super friendly and our loving kids will make your dog feel right at home.
“Madison was so sweet with our needy cats who always get sooo lonesome when we’re gone. She sent us lots of photos after each visit showing her doing all the special things besides feeding for them. She went above and beyond. We so appreciated her! Thank you so much, Madison.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions, administer oral medications if needed, and provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule. I am a full-time student, with all of my classes in the mornings, so I have availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am also completely free from Thursday after 11 a.m. through Sunday, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable care for pets. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe and sticking to their usual routine so there’s as little stress as possible while their owner is away. I spend time with them, make sure they’re fed on schedule, get their walks or litter box cleaned, and get plenty of attention and playtime. I also treat the home with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I love sending updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and cared for.
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”
“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”
“We love Maria! She is very flexible and anyone who can handle my two little gremlins is a superhero! We have her come over a few days weekly due to our crazy work schedule and will continue to do so! Saves us so much trouble and the pups are so grateful! ?”

“My dogs came home tired and so so happy! Jessica sent plenty of photos and its clear that all the dogs in her care get tons of love and attention. Looking forward to weekly care for my pups🥰”
“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”
“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”
About: I love all animals, and creatures! My goal in life is to own an animal sanctuary one day, to house rescued animals. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a pre-teen, and it’s where my passion and empathy lie. I’m very calm, loving, and would be honored to give you relief in knowing your fur children are left in good care. I have two dogs of my own and a few hermit crabs, and I even feed the squirrels, bunnies, & birds that frequent our outside space. Reach out! I’m excited to help! I’m currently working part time, just under 6 hour shifts around 27 hours a week, and I’m really trying to find work that feeds my passion. I can do drop in’s, walk your dog, as long as they are good on a lead, and be spur of the moment most of the time if necessary. I’d prefer to do home drop in’s, but my dogs are very friendly and love to play. I have a fenced in yard, but at this point unless emergency, or further discussion I prefer to drop by your home!
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! We have a large open park right in our backyard along with short trails. We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and is great with big, small, old and young dogs. We also two cats (a boy and girl) that sleep the day away and love spending time looking outside in the sunroom. My three kids (ages 9 - 14) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
“Joni is awesome!!! Her setup is a like a dog's resort. She greeted us, showed us how my pup could run around freely inside and out. The topper, my dog loves to swim and she had a setup with the doggie stairs. She even sent me a video :). It was great to relax knowing my baby was in good hands!”
“Max and Mariah were incredible and working with me to help provide care for my parents dog when a family emergency occurred. It was reassuring to find a place that meant their dog was safe and cared for and my parents could focus on what they needed to. I highly reccomend.”

I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“This was a get to know each other stay before the 3 day, 4 night stay coming up. I wanted Angel to feel comfortable. I should have known she would. Angel started playing as soon as I put her down.”

I tend to be punctual and responsive because I take caring for your pet just as serious as my day job. I'm also available nights and weekends to stop by and make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience dog/cat sitting outside my own home so I'm very comfortable caring for animals in their own space.

“Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟”
About: Hi! I am new to Rover, but caring for dogs is something my family truly loves. I have a friendly golden retriever named Stanley who absolutely thrives when he has other dogs to play with—so hosting furry friends is a joy for all of us! I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My young kids also love having dogs around and are gentle, playful, and used to being around animals. I also have a cat in our home who is very comfortable around dogs—she and Stanley are great friends—so your pup should be cat-friendly or at least respectful of cats. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime, and I treat every dog that stays with us like part of the family. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I will make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. Since I’m just getting started on Rover, I’m excited to build relationships with both pets and their owners and provide a safe, trustworthy environment you can feel confident in. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am home 2-3 days a week. We do have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I have a fenced in yard and my animals are our family. They are welcome to lay where they are comfortable and shares the bed with me if needed.
“I strongly recommend Alisha! She was always in touch and sending me updates of my pups. With her fenced yard my dogs were able to enjoy outdoor play and even made new friends with the neighbor's dogs. The onboarding went smooth and the pick up as well. I always felt my dogs were well taken care of, not with a stranger but with "grandma".”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Jeanne did a great job with my puppy. Pepper was nervous but Jeanne put her at ease and was able to get her to warm up and be comfortable in an unfamiliar setting.”
“Coco and Bella loved their stay with Ed. He sent great updates so we were able to enjoy our vacation and not have to worry about our dogs. We will be using him again!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ralph to watch our German shepherd. We asked him to watch her pretty last minute and he was very accommodating and took great care of her. She walked in as if she remembered that she was somewhere that she trusted. Highly recommend Ralph!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Logan is a fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond with communication about my Cheyenne. He was incredibly conscientious about making sure she ate, exercised, and was generally happy. I am very grateful Logan was available on short notice, and I’m glad he and Chey hit it off, as I will surely reach out to him again.”
“I was going away for the night in Frankenmuth. My normal dog sitters were unavailable so I decided to find someone closer to my destination and that's when I saw Sarah's profile. Her background in behavior and training excited me because of my guys history. I chatted with her about his personality and she immediately made me feel comfortable. She took time during his stay to not only 'Dog Sit' but to gage his behaviors and then spent some time with me when I picked him up sharing her insights and giving me guidance on managing him and to make sure to tell me how good of a boy he really is. If I lived closer we would be working with her all the time. I might even consider the 2 hour drive for 1:1 training in the future. Highly recommend to anyone near or far!”
“Patricia was amazing with my two dogs! She communicated well and sent pictures of the dogs 3 times a day. I felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her, will definitely rebook when I go out of town again!”
