“Jessi took excellent care of our very shy and attached Kitty🩷 she kept us well informed of everything going on with Kitty and took the time to earn her trust. We were able to travel with much greater ease because of Jessi’s reliability and responsiveness. Thank you!”
“Lauren was amazing! She was always on time, communicated really well, and sent me pictures and updates of Lucio every day. Lucio really liked her and seemed very comfortable with her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was also incredibly nice and easy to work with. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“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 had dogs my whole life, and my family currently has a 6 year old black labrador retriever. I have previously worked at a dog boarding and doggy day care center, where I worked for 2 summers and a winter. I have experience in giving dogs medications, feeding, playing with them, making sure they are cared for, cleaning up after them, and more. I am currently a fully remote worker living in Ann Arbor. I am able to handle bigger dogs and love to play with them or any other size dog. I am very flexible and caring, and love dogs. I work fully remote and have flexibility within my schedule to care for your dog and cat throughout the week and weekends. Available for check-ins and walks. I am available to walk and care for your pet at your home, and will create a safe environment where they feel they can trust me. I’m happy to take them on walks or play with them inside as needed.

About: Worked at a dog day care for a short while during college, but lived with pets all my life. Current owner of a cat named Moss, and looking to spend some quality time with your pet <3 I’m working full time, but saving money for traveling. My weekly schedule for work is Monday - Friday 2pm - 10pm. Always looking to fill my days off with things to get me out of the house. I live in a one bedroom apartment with one cat named Moss. Safe, quiet, and tidy, with neighbors who have all sorts of pets in the area.
About: I am overall an animal person and have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends for as long as I can remember. My experience includes dogs and cats varying in ages; from pets under the age of 1 to over the age of 14 and am willing to learn more about caring for animals of all ages and varying needs. I also helped some neighbors with some (very) basic dog training to help them become more confident in their journey in raising their new family members. Additionally, I like to maintain communication with owners (especially in the beginning for repeat clients) by asking questions relating to care, boundaries set, and of course sending lots of pictures! My current availability is Mondays-Thursdays any time after 10am, however I am very flexible and can adjust if needed. I am only available for day visits as I have to care for my own cats as well. I have two cats myself who I've had for about 12 years. My cats mean everything to me and I'm constantly observing their behaviors to ensure they are happy and healthy. I do set boundaries in my home for my own cats (not that they follow them anyways lol) such as not hanging out in the kitchen, making sure they're separated for meal times, no going into certain rooms, etc., so I will respect boundaries clients have set in their homes as well. As stated in my bio, I am very communicative and like to maintain regular contact with owners to give them peace of mind.
“She is so trustworthy and caring. Even in bad weather, she still came and took care of our cat, and was always very responsible. We know our car loves her, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better person. We would highly recommend her.”
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.
“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!”
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.
“Melissa is super sweet and was even able to trim my cat’s nails with ease. She is very good with cats and eases them into care so they’re not anxious or afraid. Highly recommended ☺️”
“Savannah was great! My cat has some recent medical issues and she kept me updated with how we was doing, played with him daily, and sent lots of photos. She took great care of him and I came home to a happy, healthy boy!”
“Once again, Jenna watched over our cat Archer and our home! Her Rover cards are the best!!! You know you've found the best guardian when you dont give a second thought to whether all is well! Complete peace of mind! Thank you again, Jenna!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
We would use Lindsay again for our drop in needs when travelling. She was a reliable sitter for our two cats Rosie and Totoro. Close by to our home in Ann Arbor. Good communicator throughout. She followed all the directions we left and reached out with any questions along the way.
Another wonderful sitting taken care of by Melissa! We can always count on her to take great care of Maisie. And sooooo many photos! Maisie clearly gets tons of love from Melissa while we are traveling and we are very thankful for that. She also watered our plants! Thank youuuuu!
Yaxuan was great and so dependable! On our first day away, we were worried that our automatic dry food dispenser had stopped working, so our cat might go longer than usual without food. Without hesitation, she went straight over to make sure he was fed and still came back later that day as originally planned. We really appreciated how proactive, communicative, and thoughtful she was throughout the whole experience. She took great care of Pepper!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ann Arbor is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 408 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 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.

- 87% 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 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.
