“Ashley was fantastic with our cats! She played with our outgoing cat every single day which we greatly appreciated while we were gone. Our other cat is scared of people, but by the end of things he did come out and play with Ashley which is huge. I’d highly recommend Ashley to take care of your fur babies!”
“Lauren is communicative and loves to take care of our pets and play with them. She's persistent in working through challenges that come up and we'll be happy to book her in the future!”
“Melissa was very responsive and responsible; she handled giving my cats meds like a pro. This was my first time using Rover, and I was initially nervous as I had never used an app like this. Would 100% recommend booking with Melissa, I felt like my cats were in great hands.”
“Katharyn has always been wonderful with my cats. Normally my female tabby is under distress when I leave, and she has frequent accidents in presence of other cat sitters. While she’s not super friendly with Katharyn but she’s comfortable in her presence and doesn’t pee around, or hiss at her. My male Tuxedo absolutely loves her! I don’t really see him acting so friendly with other cat sitters. I always ask Katharyn for her availability before travel because she’s so lovely and caring towards my pets!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with vast experience! I’ve been dog walking, sitting, and volunteering at my local humane society since middle school. Additionally, I’ve owned 2 cats and a horse and have extensive experience in kitten care, senior cat care, and horse care. I’m responsible, caring, and love connecting with different animals! I am a current college student at the University of Michigan so have a variable schedule. I am available in the mornings before 10am, in the evenings after 7pm, and have varied flexibility during the week throughout the afternoon for dog walking and caring for pets between classes. I have open availability most weekends. I prioritize understanding every pets needs and preferences so they can be as comfortable with me as they are with their owner. My experience with horses and large animals has taught me how to handle animals calmly and safely and make sure all rules are followed and checks are done to ensure animal and human safety and well-being.
“So happy to have booked with Lindsey! She sent me pictures of my cats every day when she visited and played with them and took care of filling up their water bowls and whatever else they needed. Glad to have found her and look forward to booking with her again next time I need a car sitter.”
“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!”
“Lauren took the time to carefully read through all the background info I gave her about my reactive dog in advance, and she did a great job of following all the instructions I'd given her about how to set him up for success when he's meeting a new person. She was mindful of his sensitivities and was a calm, competent, and friendly presence when meeting him. We'll definitely book her again!”
“I've worked with Sara several times to care for my cats this year, and she's absolutely reliable. She's become my go-to pet sitter since moving to Michigan - highly recommend!”
“Wutt did a great job taking care of my cat. She went above and beyond for the drop in visit scooping the litter box, taking in a package and making sure my cat felt safe.”
“Elayna is great! She helped us out last minute with a drop-in and even squeezed in a quick meet and greet first. She was kind and communicative. Would definitely use Elayna as a sitter again!”
“Sarah did a great job keeping our two cats from losing their marbles while we were out of town. When we returned, they were in good spirits and the house as clean as we had left it. Sarah was punctual with her visits, and handled our specific requests very well. We will gladly seek her help again.”
“Meredith took wonderful care of our cats, and I’m so grateful for her help. She was very patient with everything, including dealing with a new feeder we’re still figuring out. I really appreciated her calm and caring energy with the cats. She even stayed a bit longer to help our kitten burn off some energy, which meant a lot. The sweetest surprise was that our older cat, Agustin, came to sit near her on the couch, something he almost never does! That says a lot about how comfortable he felt with her. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I am excited to help care for your pets! I grew up with two dogs of my own and have also spent many hours volunteering at local animal shelters to give some love to animals in need. I currently have two pet rats, and am a lover of all creatures big and small (although I do have a soft spot for cats). I’m currently in the interview process for a few full-time positions, so I am not booking services that are more than a month out just in case my schedule changes. When caring for your pet(s) in your home, I will always do my best to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as possible! I know that each pet is different, and I will always make sure to have a detailed conversation with you about how I can best connect and care for your pet(s).
“Regan is great. She took care of our two cats and rabbit. She somehow managed to clean up all the Timothy hay from the rabbit's playroom floor, leaving the place cleaner than we left it. She also managed to bond with the rabbit... sent us a picture of her petting the rabbit in her lap, which I have never been able to do! Regan also has a great fun personality and is easy to communicate with.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
Maeson was very communicative and easy to coordinate visits with. She went above and beyond in sending photos and information and my cats got plenty of attention and play during her visits. Maeson was also very on top of logistics such as building access and cat care requests, which gave me peace of mind while out of town. I would absolutely recommend Maeson and plan to rebook in future. :)
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!
Nicholas was great with our two cats! He showed up at consistent times to feed them, clean the litter, and play with them. We even received pictures of our youngest (Duncan) sitting on his lap, which he never does with strangers. I will happily reach out to him again in the future and recommend others do the same if they’re looking for a friendly, reliable pet sitter.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ann Arbor on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,301 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ann Arbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
