“Cadence did a wonderful job taking care of our 14lb Havanese dog. She was punctual, communicative, took him on walks and sent frequent picture updates. We will absolutely hire her again! 5/5.”
“Melissa is such a wonderful person! Always send updates with pictures of your pet. She was so amazing when I had to make last-minute changes due to a business meeting. I will definitely keep her as a retainer!”
“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 treated my fur babies with such love and kindness! She sent me pictures daily of my oldest kitty! Cleo really likes Sarah :) I am very happy that I found her and will most certainly hire her in the near future!”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever named Hailey, and when I was younger I helped my mom foster care for various puppies and cats. I am available weekdays during the summer. I am a 6 ft broad shouldered guy, so I can handle any dogs you throw at me. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I gaurentee your dog will get a ton of positive attention, and physical activity if need be! Hope to meet tons of cool dogs! Currently doing Rover work as a summer job while I go to school for engineering! Available most weekdays and some weekends. Have a dog of my own but my parents treat him like a grandchild so I have plenty of time for Rover. Have plenty of experience with high anxiety/elder dogs as well as dogs with special needs such as diabetes who need injections through my sister's dog as well as some neighbors! One such dog usually hates people who aren't his owner but I wore him down and now he loves me! She is always shocked at how he reacts when he sees me, usually he barks and snarls at most people/other dogs but he's all cuddles when I come by. My sister's dog is high anxiety and hates most men but of course not me because Im special. (jk just great with dogs!)
“Katharyn was an amazing cat sitter! My kitties were well taken care of for the length of my vacation. She was responsive and sent me timely updates and pictures of my kitties 🐈⬛ 🐈 Would definitely book her again ♥️”
About: Lifelong pet lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve fostered puppies, volunteered with dog shelters, and have been a cat dad for the past three years. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, including shy animals and dogs who require medication. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away while providing you with peace of mind. I currently work full time Monday through Friday from 9-5pm. I am happy to work with your pets in the evenings or on the weekend. Safety, reliability, and communication are my priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your cat at home or taking your dog for a walk, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own pet. I also understand the trust involved in caring for your home. I’ll treat your property with respect, follow all instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Magnolia was amazing, I knew my cats would be in good care as soon as I met her. I came back from my trip to two well looked after cats and I will definitely rebook with Magnolia!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including my own dogs and cats, and I’ve volunteered with senior animals in the past. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to adapt to different personalities, whether a pet is energetic, shy, anxious, independent, or needs extra patience. I’m comfortable with daily care such as feeding, administering oral medications, cleaning litter boxes, handling accidents, and following specific routines and instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. As a University of Michigan student with a flexible summer schedule, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I love sending lots of photos and updates, and I’m very attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels, so I can keep you informed if anything seems off.
About: What sets me apart is how attentive and calm I am with pets. As a medical student, I’m trained to notice small changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and to take safety seriously while still keeping things fun and relaxed. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and quirks, send thoughtful updates, and treat every animal like my own so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away! I’m especially great with senior pets and medically complex animals who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, and special instructions, and I always move at your pet’s pace. Currently working part time in (psychiatry) research and studying for our required national board exams. As such, I will have plenty of time for your fur family members! I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules, so pets experience as little disruption as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks, and I always keep pets secure and supervised. I pay close attention to body language and behavior and adjust care if a pet seems anxious, tired, or overstimulated. I keep homes clean and respectful, send regular updates and photos, and communicate right away if anything seems off. My goal is for pets to feel safe, calm, and cared for and for owners to feel completely confident while they’re away.
“Sean took excellent care of our cat! He was very thorough and was good with providing video/photo updates. He was great with communicating as well. Strongly recommend!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have volunteered at animal shelters since I was 10. I have also cat-sit for various families in my neighborhood for the past 11 years. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals both during the week and over the weekend! During my drop-in visits, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always conduct an immediate headcount upon arrival, refresh their food, water, and litter box (if applicable), and spend the rest of the time playing with them. When house sitting, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I provide a consistent, comforting presence throughout the night, ensure all doors and windows remain strictly secured, and leave your space spotlessly clean.
About: JT and I have been volunteering at the humane society, fostering pets, and pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors since we were teens. We are passionate about animal welfare and have supported our local animal shelters in every community where we've lived, from the Midwest to the Northeast. From our own pets as well as those from the shelter, we have cared for puppies and kittens along with older pets and pets with special needs. We are looking forward to bringing wags and fun times to caring for, walking, and spending time with your pets! JT and I have schedules that allow us to work from home. We can be available for lunchtime and afternoon walks and check-ins with your pets during the work week, as well as in-home pet sitting while you're away for work or vacation. Having worked in prior positions where we were gone all day away from our pets, we know how difficult it can be to make sure our pets were taken care of. We want to provide that support to our community now that we're in a position to do so! When caring for a pet in someone else's home, we like to make sure to understand routines and what that particular pet does each day. We want to be mindful of what's going to keep them most comfortable and at ease, and work with the pet parents to be as least disruptive as possible to the pet's normal routine. We also love sending photo updates of your pet having a good time!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
Kaylee was wonderful with my cat while I was away! She was reliable, kind, and communicative throughout the booking, and she completed all of the scheduled visits. I really appreciated that she asked questions when she wanted to make sure she understood the instructions, kept me updated, and let me know right away when anything came up. She also handled a small mess my cat made and was thoughtful enough to offer to come back later to check on him. It was clear she cared about him and spent time with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling. I would happily book Kaylee again and highly recommend her.
Moriah was a great caretaker for our cats. She sent lots of photos and videos, and they seemed so playful and content in her care and we could tell she enjoyed visiting with them as well. Moriah followed our care instructions, completed the care checklist daily, and sent messages with any questions when needed. She even brought her out toys, one of which kittens really LOVED, and she left it for them to keep during her last visit (which we so appreciate).
Judy did a fantastic job. I got great pictures and regular summaries of her visits, and came back to sleek and happy kitties who had gotten their crazies out lol. Everything was topped off & put away, cleaner than I left it. I felt that my kitties were in capable & reliable hands, and I’ll be booking with Judy again for sure!!
Molly recently checked in on my cats while I was traveling. She took good care of my cats and followed the instructions I provided. She was communicative and sent updates for each visit, which I always appreciate. My cats were well cared for while I was away and I’ll contact Molly again for future drop-ins!
Thank you Richard, Sasha, and Charlie for taking extra good care of our Velcro cat. We had total peace of mind while traveling out of the country, and Richard was a quick communicator even with our time difference. Our kitty looked super happy in the photos we received from them. We highly recommend booking with these guys :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ann Arbor on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,332 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ann Arbor. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
