“This is an amazing sitter. She watched our elderly cat and sat with him and talked to him, gave him a clean bowl every time and gave us great pictures! Thank you rhonda!”
“Sheila was great with my two cats while I was away for a week! Lots of updates & photos, everything was kept super clean & she even dealt with some upset stomach situations. She socialized and played with my most social cat & took time to bond with my skittish who actually came out for pets at one point - which is a rarity. I came home to two happy cats! I would 100% recommend her & will book again in the future!”
“Lindsey was INCREDIBLE. She looked after our two (very finicky) cats for two weeks and was absolutely perfect. Not only did she send consistent updates and photos, she played with the kitties, changed their water and litter, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and healthy. I truly felt at ease with Lindsey caring for our pets. I would recommend her one thousand percent!!”
“Samantha was wonderful. She took great care of my fur-baby (Joseph). I had peace of mind knowing Joseph was being loved on and taken excellent care of. Samantha was dependable, trustworthy, kind, and easy to get along with. I definitely will have Samantha take care of Joseph again and I highly recommend her.”
“Chelsea was awesome with Goose! She kept me update and sent pictures through the weekend. I am very appreciative of her taking such great care of my boy and taking it on with shorter notice! Will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of just about every type of dog and most cats. I used to work at “Hallidays Pet Resort” in canton MI for years so I have lots of hands on experience. Super exited to meet you and your dog so go ahead and send me a request :) I work overnights so I am available any day from morning-evening, as long as your animal is okay on its own overnight I can do sitting for multiple days in a row I absolutely adore animals. Super experienced in animal safety and caretaking, I can also give medications as long as it is orally administered. I have a pit bull of my own :)
“I’ve had Brittany watch my three kittens twice now and she has been very communicative and flexible with bookings. Always provides updates and pictures of drop-in visits and spends about 30 mins petting and playing with the kittens each visit in addition to food, water, and the litterbox.”
“Absolutely the best sitter Smokey has ever had. Reguarly brushed him, provided fun notes on most days about how he was doing, and performed little bits of going the extra mile each day. I couldn't recommend Saramae enough! I'm very thankful.”
About: I’m have 2 cats stormy and kitty . They and both indoors but I gave her then option to go outside too. They are very friendly. We do feed other cats bin our neighbors I have 4 bowel of water and food on my porch for them. Always have loved animals and had a caring connection with them. In addition to taking care of our family pets, I have also helped care for family and friends furry friends I work part time and I’m able to do house visits or add a walk in the park in my schedule it no problem. I have a fence yard and I have my own cat kitty she friendly and spray and up to date on shots. I have an area extra bedroom for play time or naps.Our sofa is open for naps too.
“My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.”
“Keana had good interactions with my shy cat, and was flexible with timing and some home issues, and had no issues watering my small vegetable garden and collecting mail. I highly recommend!”
About: Several years of dog sitting experience. Comfortable with walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. Timely, diligent feedings and care instructions followed accurately to ensure the best care. I’m available for boarding and drop ins during evenings and weekends. I am also available for extended drop ins. I have reliable transportation, so can travel further to do drop ins. I care for pets by giving them the attention that they need. I ensure that their needs are met and that they are safe, and comfortable. This includes maintaining feeding and walking schedules.
“Madalyne did such a great job with my shy kitties! She spent time making sure they had everything they needed and even got a few to come out from hiding. That’s a big deal! I felt reassured my cats were well taken care of with her friendly cat loving personality and attention to the details of care. Arrived home to happy cats.”
“This was my first time working with Katie. She was responsive, kind, and flexible. I so appreciated her extra effort in flagging an issue with ants near the food dish (ugh!), and cleaning things up so my kitty could eat in sanitary conditions. The kitty also warmed to Katie as she got used to new person in the house, which was great to see. Very pleased!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets and have lots of experience. I had cats and dogs growing up and started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends when I was around 12 years old. I am used to taking care of both puppies and kittens along with senior cats and dogs. I have pet sit for animals that require medication and looked after my own dogs post surgery. I have volunteered at shelters/fostered and worked with animals of all temperaments. I just got back from a year abroad and won’t be starting school back up until January so I have lots of time and no set schedule. I often go to the gym Monday and Friday morning and hikes with my mothers dog on the weekends but I’m flexible. I have pet sit and my home and at the clients home and am comfortable with either! My house has a fenced in yard and is close to a park. I have recently taken in my grandfathers elderly cat she’s very quiet and sweet and spends most of her time sleeping in my bed. I also occasionally watch my moms husky mix who loves to play with other dogs.
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dearborn Heights
I can’t say enough about Safa! I had to leave on a 10-day trip, and I was so worried about my cat’s wellbeing in my absence. Safa stopped by before I even finalized my booking with her. She spent time with me learning about my cat’s habits and listening carefully to details to know how to handle her while I’m gone. During my trip, she was very communicative, kind, and helpful. Her commitment to show up at the designated times and ensure my cat gets fed and cared for made me feel at ease, and it surely made my cat happy and comfortable in my absence. I highly recommend Safa, and I can’t thank her enough for her service. Will definitely hire her again!
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 .
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 .

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.
