“Iliana is the greatest. She’s been taking good care of my cat every week since last Fall. I can’t say enough good things. My cat loves her and Iliana has gone above and beyond on more than one occasion. I feel 100 percent comfortable leaving home knowing that Iliana is on the job. I love receiving the pictures while I travel and it’s nice to leave home knowing that my little feline buddy is in safe, caring hands. Three cheers for Iliana. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs alike for friends and family forever! I am great with making meals, administering medication, and keeping things clean! Please message me to schedule a meet & greet! ♡ I can work any day, any time! My hours are extremely flexible. I can work for just 2 hours or I can stay overnight if needed! I follow instructions exactly as they're given, including feed times & medication administration. I love following things by the book, so in my mind, having "too many" instructions isn't a thing!
“Our kitties enjoyed their daily visits while we were cruising the 7 seas. Nicely updated daily on their feeding, house conditions, and litter box. House clean when arrived home. Very punctual w times appointments and did actually spend the entire 30 minutes during all visits, even when the tasks are completed in under 10. Definitely would recommend and plan to use on our next trip. Thanks a bunch.”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful with our cats! She always takes time to play with them, make sure their food and water is replenished, and gives them plenty of pets. Katie is so reliable and we can count on her! We highly recommend Katie for all of your pet needs!”
About: 🐾Trusted Care in a Loving Home Environment🤍 Animals have always been my greatest passion and purpose. I’ve dedicated my life to improving the welfare of our animal community. I’m well known in the rescue world and have worked alongside many rescues, assisting with T&R programs, Foster Care, Rehoming & Placement Assistance, Behavioral & Physical Rehabilitation, Feral Rehabilitation and more!. I’ve spent many years loving animals of all kinds — from training sea lions 🩶🦭, rehabilitating wildlife & domestic animals, fostering adoptive pets, bottle feeding babies, providing care for seniors & pets with various medical issues, assisting pet parents with hospice care, working with special-needs, behavioral issues & rescue pets who require patience, understanding, and expert care to of course providing professional pet care services. I have been offering pet care services to clients for over a decade. I have extensive experience in animal rehabilitation, including administering medication, performing life-saving procedures, supporting post-surgery recovery, and managing both physical and behavioral issues. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals with conditions such as arthritis, allergies, anxiety, collapsing tracheas, and other age-related or chronic illnesses. My background has equipped me with strong knowledge in pet illness prevention, senior care, physical therapy, and behavioral management. My home is very quiet and stress free. There are no children present or any people traffic. I take requests and make accommodations for pet owners, if a dog or cat is better suited as the only animal present during their stay, just let me know! I spend the duration of a booking and focus 100% of my effort entertaining and attending to pets. Your pet will never be unattended for the duration of a booking. We are kennel free, unless it’s part of your pets regular routine. I currently care for multiple rotating rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own story, needs, and comfort level. I approach each one with compassion, respect, and a calm, confident energy that helps them feel secure and loved. I’m also experienced with administering oral and topical medications, wound care, specialized diets, and gentle rehabilitation exercises to help pets heal and thrive.
“Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!”
About: I have been taking good care of puppies, young and senior dogs for over 20 years with lots of good care and great love and dignity I am currently not working so I’m available mostly all day from 8 am until 6 pm having plenty of time to care for your pet as I they were mine!

About: Hi there! My name’s Emma, I'm 25 years old. I’m a Dog and Cat Mama to three of my own fur babies, and work part time for the local school district. I've raised animals my whole life, and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors at 12, and I took care of the same animals regularly for nearly 6 years. Taking care of animals is second nature for me, and it's a fun way to help pay the bills. I do also have experience with epileptic dogs, elderly animals, and pets who need medicine regularly administered. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I work for the school district almost full time so have limited availability throughout the school year, with more availability during “winter break” and full time availability throughout summer break. I am only able to go to client's homes, I do not have the space to house client's pets. That being said, I treat and care for every animal as if it was my own. For client's I make myself daily checklists for the pets needs to make sure I never miss a thing.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, medication, potty breaks, and plenty of love and cuddles. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week. I can help with feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they need while you’re away. I care for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and instructions, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ll give your pets plenty of love and attention and make sure your home is secure before I leave.
“Cristal & Aiden were amazing! I was nervous leaving my elderly & diabetic cat for 5 days but it was quickly clear that my cat was very happy, well loved and 100% safe with them. It’s obvious they are true animal lovers and they even discovered she likes to watch bird & fish YouTube videos. Also, Aiden’s photos are the best I have of her - he has a real gift for animal photography. They were also very diligent about her medications, including giving her insulin shots twice a day. Needless to say, I highly recommend them!”
About: Experienced Vet Tech • Animal Caregiver I’ve been working with animals since 2017, beginning as a manager at a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility in Livermore, where I also cared for Alameda County Sheriff’s animals. Every temperament I met taught me something new and ultimately led me into veterinary medicine in 2019. Since then, I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals throughout Danville/Blackhawk, Fremont, and Pleasanton. After years in vet med, I’ve realized what I love most is simply caring for the animals themselves. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet—their quirks, routines, personalities, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have a knack for connecting with animals and making sure their individual needs are understood and met. Most of the animals I meet end up becoming little friends of mine. The occasional possum or feral cat may not be quite as convinced, but I promise I’ll still give them my very best. ❤️ Your pet will be cared for with the experience, patience, and genuine love I would want for my own. I am taking a step back from my career and pursuit of Veterinary Medicine. I would like to get to the basics of what I know and love so very much. Caring for and spending time with each animal. Making sure they get the care they deserve, and so much more. I like continue with each animals normal routine. If they like to lay out in the sun for a few hours, that’s what we will do. If they want to play fetch until nap time, consider it done. If we want to go for a run through the neighborhood or a walk on a nearby trail, I’m ready to go.
“Kenya is attentive, friendly, and has genuine interest in providing the best care for your pet. You can tell that she is passionate about animals and providing your animal with comfort while you are away.”
“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small. My background working in senior care and being a big sister to two younger siblings has given me a natural instinct for patience, attention to detail, and safety. Whether your furry family member needs gentle company, active play, or meticulous daily care, you can rest easy knowing they are in gentle, experienced hands! I’m available mornings 7:30am until 10:30am and late afternoon/nights 7:30pm-10:00pm and all day Tuesday/Wednesday , we can work on your time ! I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Arbor is $30

Thank you so much, Sofia, for taking care of my kitties! There is nothing that makes me happier than returning home to know they were taken care of properly, and seeing them so happy and healthy. I truly appreciate you following the instructions to a T and being flexible enough to accommodate last-minute add-on services. You are the best, and we are so blessed to have connected with you!
This was my very first time using someone other than a trusted family member to take care of our beloved cat. Luckily I matched with Abby and from our first meeting, I felt very comfortable knowing she would care for my kitty with compassion and kindness. Abby was very astute to my needs as a pet owner and really set my mind at ease! The picture updates were awesome as well as the personal messages really comforted us knowing our cat’s emotional and physical needs were being met. Thanks again!
Kieran was super nice and was always on time . He did everything I asked for and though my very shy cat never came out from under the bed , Kieran was fantastic in taking care of her and doing everything that I asked him to do ! I will absolutely hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable pet sitter thanks Kieran
If there was a way for me to give her 10 stars I would have done it right away . Rover is one of my very first experience hiring a professional pet sitter and it required a lot of if ands and butts before I picked Jazz but I was so glad that I did . The biggest thing for me was to trust someone with your whole home handing them the keys and hope for the best. I was going out of country for a full week and she was going to be my only resource to take care of my beloved cat . When I met Jazz for the very first time, there was a light of calm , kindness and professionalism that gave me a sigh of relief that said I know you are gonna be great and I’m not worried about it . She was kind very sweet asked questions and took away that weird feeling of meeting a stranger the very first time . She was punctual and did everything she could to not only take care of my very moody kitty but also sending pics to keep me at ease three continents away. I knew I had nothing to worry about ! I have found the best cat sitter I could ever hope for and I hope she accepts my request anytime I’m in need of pet care ! A+++ a true superstar!!!! Thank you jazz you are the best!!!!
We were nervous hiring someone for the first time and Tina’s profile stood out. We met her in person before the services and she seemed like a wonderful person. She watched our cat for 2 days and we got so many pictures and videos. Our boy liked her from the moment he met her during meet and greet and I think she liked him too. Wonderful service and we highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone that we can use again to watch our pets. Thank you Tina
This was our third time using Lori to watch our two dogs and one cat. As always, she did a fantastic job. She is extremely prompt and responsive to any questions we have had. Our pets definitely like her as well. I strongly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs and will definitely use her in the future
Melissa looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable and attentive. Communication was excellent. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were safe and comfortable. She followed instructions carefully, gave medication and prescribed diet on schedule to one of them who is sick. She was brave enough to learn how to do a fluids IV. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only reliable but also compassionate and capable of handling special needs.
Cindy was amazing! Right when I first met her I could tell she was going to do a great job. She was very responsive, asked great questions and brought along a helper too! We are very impressed with what a great job she did. The animal areas were clean and more importantly the animals were well taken care of. We will absolutely use her again!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.

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.
