“My experience with Jessi was perfect! My shy cats actually came out from under the bed for her. She left super informative feedback and accommodated all my requests! She was super sweet and kind. I will definitely rebook with her soon!”
“Ashley was an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of my cat while I was away. She sent lots of wonderful photos and videos, and provided detailed updates during each visit.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old and trained my dog by myself. My dog, Coco is at home in Salt Lake City, and is still alive (13 years old!) and happy and healthy. I will spoil your pets and love them like you love them I’m a student, and I love pets and walking, so I can do walks once or multiple times per day! I would be more than happy to do so I will follow the instructions you give me for the care of your pets in your own home whilst being respectful and responsible of the house and your little family member :) Your pet will receive much love from me!
“Lindsey was great with my two cats! She was was easy to communicate with, timely, and did everything as instructed. My kitties loved her and I would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my 16-year-old family dog, who had medical issues as she got older, and I helped care for her before she passed away. My family now has a puppy who I’ve helped train and care for, so I’m comfortable with dogs at different stages of life. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding and looking after them! I volunteer at the Humane Society of Huron Valley as a dog walker, where I spend time with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also help care for cats at the shelter, including cleaning their cages and feeding multiple cats at once.I’m a senior at the University of Michigan and live on campus, so I have a flexible schedule, a car, and can accommodate different pet care needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and love getting to know each pet! I’d love to meet your pets and help take care of them! As a full-time student, my class schedule varies day by day, but I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to spend time with your pet and provide attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to keep them comfortable by following their established routines as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and any special attention they need. I’m respectful of your space and will keep you updated on how your pet is doing with plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Thank you so much, you went above and beyond! Normally it takes a visit or two with a new person before she lets you pet her! This is my first time using rover but I'll be sure to contact you again in the future as needed. I hope she can continue to warm up to you!”
“Jessie was amazing at taking care of our cat! She sent us lots of pictures and videos, and we could see how comfortable our cat was with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you so much, Jessie!”
About: I grew up around dogs, having owned our own as well as taken care of neighborhood dogs. Some cat experience from when I was young. Now I'm a full time cat dad for the past two years! I have the fortune and flexibility of working from home, so I can usually fit in time to drop by and care for your pets throughout the day. I'm very respectful of spaces in my client's home and make sure that the animal can maintain their own routine in their familiar place while getting comfortable with my presence when their owner is away.
About: I'm a grad student, so my availability during the school year depends on class schedules, but overall can be quite flexible to drop in on your pets! Always happy to take a break from studying :) I'm very respectful of both your home and your cat's boundaries. I follow your instructions carefully, and always keep your space clean and secure. I let your cat set the pace, stay mindful of their body language, and never force interaction. I always prioritize safety at every visit, and make sure doors, litter and food are handled calmly and cleanly.
“Sean was amazing. He was great at communicating and went above and beyond taking care of our fur babies. I couldn’t recommend Sean enough. We will definitely be rebooking him.”
About: I’ve been babysitting and pet sitting since the age of 13 and have stuck with it as a summer job, now year-round gig ever since. I am now a 20 year old college student residing in Hartland. I can truly say there’s nothing I haven’t been able to do/learn. I’ve developed a pretty sturdy routine and enjoy getting to know my clients, their family’s and their pets. I’m very flexible and try my best to fit everybody in and make sure all my clients needs are met and more! My goal is to be a reliable pet sitter to all of my clients. Pet sitting and Babysitting is my full-time job right now and I have a lot of flexibility. Most of my families are currently out of town so I’m looking to fill up my schedule for the next few weeks. My clients typically tell me what they need done and we have a meeting a couple days or a week before they need me to come by. I do, of course, have my own pets and volunteer at dog and cat shelters in my spare time. My family has been fostering dogs through the shelter we volunteer at for over two years now and we have two cats. Typically a care routine is established through me and a client having a meeting or conversation over the phone. Every pet is unique and everyone’s standards are different. I usually just inquire with my client and create a plan that works the absolute best for their needs and their pet.
“Cleo was great in caring for my senior cat while I was away for two weeks. I sincerely appreciated the flexibility in having a combo of house sitting and drop ins to ensure that my cat was well taken care of. Cleo provided regular updates, asked thoughtful questions before/during the sit, and even offered above-and-beyond assistance to ensure I had a low stress return to my home. I’m a repeat customer and would book again. Thanks Cleo!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
We were very happy with Meredith taking care of our cats. She was excellent with communication and sending updates & pictures. One of our cats is on medication and was being very difficult about taking it. Meredith was very patient and spent extra time with the cats. We were able to discuss alternatives to manage the difficult cat. Both cats did fine and were happy and healthy when we got home.
Katie has been so wonderful taking care of our sassy one multiple times throughout the year. We loved that she always took the time to accomodate her (and changed her plans to help out with a water fountain incident!) , played with her and provided extra enrichment, was super reliable and an outstanding communicator. We and B will definitely miss you so very much 😿
Cynthia was a truly wonderful sitter, I would recommend her to anyone! She always brought treats, her own litter bags and lots of attention for my little guy Archie. She treated the house with care and respect and very reliably showed up and provided lovely pictures of my baby.
Maddie is amazing and went above and beyond for our fur babies and our turtle! The pictures were so so great, not as amazing as the care our babies received. They were so stoked for us to come home but I know they thoroughly enjoyed their time with Maddie Checking in on them!
Emilee was able to help us with our cats last minute when my boyfriend and I were leaving for a trip. She made the effort to come to our apartment and meet our babies before we left which made us feel that much more comfortable leaving them. Her updates while we were gone were so meaningful. Highly recommend!

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.
