“Sarah was wonderful! She went above and beyond. Everyday, she'd send us a picture of our cat and a little message with it. Our cat doesn't warm up to strangers easily, but by the end of our trip, Sarah had managed to get on petting terms with her. She also alerted us that there was a power outage and made us feel totally secure knowing that our baby was safe in her hands!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Rhonda more than 5 stars, I would! She was an absolutely incredible caregiver for my cat, Luna. This was my first time leaving Luna, and Rhonda provided so much peace of mind with her detailed updates and wonderful photos. She went above and beyond just the basics—she took the time to earn Luna's trust, played with her energetically, and noted all the little details about her personality. You can truly tell she has a genuine love for animals. My sometimes-standoffish kitty even warmed up to her by the end of the visits! Rhonda is reliable, caring, and an excellent communicator. I am so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Don't hesitate to book with Rhonda—your pet will be in the best possible hands!”


About: Hello! I've been caring for family members' and friends' cats and dogs for years, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I can't board pets in my home because my cats are very sensitive to other animals, but I'm happy to provide drop in visits, walks, and companionship in your pet's home where they're most comfortable. I'm comfortable administering medication if needed, and I'll always communicate with you throughout your booking by sending updates and photos. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'm also happy to do a meet and greet beforehand so everyone (pets included) can get comfortable. I work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop in visits and walks throughout the week. I have a standing meeting every weekday at 10:00 a.m., and any additional meetings are usually scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., but I'm often able to plan visits around them. If your pet needs care at a specific time, just let me know. I'll always be upfront about my availability and do my best to accommodate your schedule. All of my services take place in your pet's home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I'll follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet's normal routine, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, and if I notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll let you know right away. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Elizabeth was an absolute joy for my animals. She is also incredibly punctual and always on time. She went above and beyond everything! She took the liberty of picking up after my dog outside and scooped/changed my cats litter [both of those were not expected]. She also went out of her way to bring my trash and recycling to the curb realizing it was trash day! On our meet and greet my large German Shepherd and 2 cats immediately bonded with her, Elizabeth has a gift with animals. I have also used her in the past to stay with my animals for a few days while im out of town. She sends pictures and updates often and I truly felt at ease knowing she was there with them. Elizabeth takes her job very seriously and made sure to really stimulate and play with all of my animals. Whether you need someone to drop by, take your animals for a walk or stay with them for a few days, Elizabeth will absolutely get the job done and more. I will be using her services often!”

“Shelly did everything I asked her to do. She was great about posting updates each day. I have had sitters in the past who didn’t pay careful attention to instructions and texted me often while I was away. Shelly paid attention and handled this job as a professional. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Miryam is truly an angel with my babies. From our very first meet and greet, I instantly had a good feeling about her especially when my girl cat immediately gravitated toward her. She has an amazing ability to care for all three of my cats, balancing their different personalities. She's playful and engaging while also knowing when to give them their space. As we all know, cats can be particular, but Miryam has always been gentle, attentive, patient, and welcoming with my babies ever since our very first meeting. I will always have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly ◡̈”

“Sheila was amazing! She took such good care of my girls and continued to update me throughout my whole trip! It was the first time I felt comfortable leaving and would definitely book her again!!”


“Ray is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)”

About: I’ve been taking care of me own dog for 8 years she’s a pit-bull mix terrier and I’ve also had experience in administering medication with different animals as long as there not aggressive and I’ve also had experiences dealing with different dog breads as a former employee at pet land and a summer job at an animal pet spa as a bather. I have lots of time to take care of your family I call animals family because that’s what my dog means to me and I’m also trying to make this into a living and a career. I’ll provide a nurturing environment and try to avoid all dangers while your animals are in my care. And will follow instructions that you have regarding your animal to the best of my ability.
About: My commitment to providing the highest level of care, combined with my love for animals, ensures that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's in Business and taking care of my mom, so I will have plenty of time, love, and care for your fur babies! Anytime or anyplace, I am here for you and your babies! By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾
About: I have loved dogs my whole life, and while my experience with dogs in particular is limited, I will give my all to caring for and protecting your pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets with various temperaments and energy levels. I have experience with caring for animals from inside and outside the home. Having had cats for most of my life I’m quite familiar with the habits and tendencies of multi pet households. I’m currently out of school for summer break, but I also have a flexible school schedule so I’ll be home and available to care for your pets in a part time capacity, but again I’m willing to work around things for my clients. There are also no children in the home but I do have three cats. I live in a home with a fenced in yard, I also home three of my own cats. I have my own transportation and can adapt to your needs. I aim to always be respectful of all clients homes and rules. I walk in with calmness and patience to make meeting and interacting with your pet as seamless as possible. My ultimate goal to look after the well being of your pet and meeting any requests/needs a client may have.
“Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’m a proud cat mom to three rescued cats and grew up surrounded by dogs. I also cared for my diabetic dog and became comfortable with administering medications and providing extra medical attention. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have taken veterinary technician classes because my dream is to build a career in veterinary medicine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. 🐾 I recently moved to Michigan, so Rover is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. My typical availability is Monday through Friday, but I understand that pet care needs don’t always fit a set schedule. If you need care outside of those days, please reach out, I’m happy to do my best to make arrangements! 🐾 I currently have three cats of my own, so I prefer to provide care in my clients’ homes where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. However, if needed, I do have a fully fenced backyard and can discuss boarding on a case-by-case basis. I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, carrying treats for positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates to give you peace of mind and let you see all the fun your pet is having. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating them like one of my own.

About: I volunteered all throughout my high school years at the humane society and still try my best to help out and donate when I can. I have three pets, and have had many more in my life and hope to have even more when I’m given the proper opportunity and safe environment. Through my years of being a pet owner I know that animal care isn’t all that easy and isn’t for everyone. It requires hard work, patience, and lots and lots of research. I pride myself in being vigilant with care instructions as every animal is different even when it comes to the same breed. I work a part time job where I find out my schedule weekly. My job entails a 4-7 hour shift where I am completely free after. I am also a student but have yet to begin courses for the fall. I’m a lover of all animals and understand the importance of care and attention that comes with taking care of our furry friends. As a cat parent myself, I wouldn’t want anything but the best and most attentive sitter and through that experience, I have the drive and need to make sure all pets are getting the care and stimulation they need as animals. I also have two parakeets and while having a cat and birds in the house wasn’t easy at first, through training and lots of patience I successfully managed to have my own kitty befriend our two parakeets.
About: Starting 5 years ago, I began working in the pet care field as a kennel technician. I have now added veterinary assisting to my repertoire, going on 2 years. This abundance of nuanced experience has allowed me to effectively to care for all pets sick or well, young or old, and small or large! I am currently a full time vet technician, but I can definitely fit in pet-sitting, walk-ins, and or dog walks throughout the week. I usually am home for free time and love to keep busy so I have flexible availability. I usually let my dog free roam the house when we are winding down after a walk or fetch. Interaction is key to a healthy mindset for pets, so I try to entertain them as much as possible!
About: I grew up in a house with dogs both large and small and having the responsibility of helping to care for them. When I moved into my current home and getting a dog was a possibility I went to the shelter and found my perfect buddy. I love dogs and they are an important part of my life. I like to find things that engage my dog when he plays so he is stimulated mentally as well as physically. I hope this leads to a long and healthy life for him! I have always cared for animals and to be able to provide them with a happy and healthy life is a great joy. I have potty trained puppies, crate trained adult dogs, and taught tricks.
About: I have been around all types of dogs and cats since I was born. I take my 3 dogs on walks together almost everyday. I volunteer at the animal shelter in Lansing and Dearborn. I have been around veterinarians, so I know how to handle dogs and I notice behaviors that might mean they're sick or have an issue that can be addressed. Sometimes people are used to their dogs doing certain things that are actually irregular and should be treated. I work part time so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and stop in for feeding and play time multiple times a day! I've been around dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them. I have two dogs that I walk together almost every day, and I volunteer at animal shelters, working with animals of all breeds and temperaments. Through my experience around veterinarians, I've learned to safely handle dogs and recognize behaviors or symptoms that may indicate a health issue, allowing me to identify concerns that owners may not always notice.

Sarah took excellent care of my girls. This was my first time leaving them. They are independent young cats, but have not been left alone. Sarah came before for a meet and greet and to explain what she does during her visits. I received updates and photos as well. We will definitely be requesting Sarah in the future. ❤️

Sophie is the best! She was able to accommodate a last minute drop by for my dads cat, she was the only one in the area that helped me and I’m so grateful! She followed all instruction, made sure to give his cat some love and communicated very well. I highly recommend.

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.

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.
