“Booking with Jeannette was the best decision I made! It was important to me that I felt my cats were safe, taken care of, and loved while I was away, and that I could see them too. Jeannette made sure all those boxes were checked and more! She provided plenty of beautiful photos of my babies, which I loved. She also went above and beyond with spoiling them in treats, new toys, and even trying some cat grass (which has now become a new obsession for them). I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Randi always does a great job caring for our three cats when we go out of town. They are always happy and well-taken care of when we get back. Highly recommend Randi for petsitting!”
“Very communicative and trustworthy!! Any anxiety I had with leaving my cats was gone by the end of my trip. I will definitely come back to Lukis for any extra care I need with my cats!!”
About: Passionate animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2018. Over the years, I've worked in veterinary clinics, grooming salons as an assistant bather, and in dog daycare settings, giving me experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with caring for multiple pets at once, administering medications, sticking to an organized walking/feeding schedule, and providing individualized attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and plenty of adorable photos that capture the best side of your pet's personality and daily adventures. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care for your beloved companions I provide pet care full-time, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because this is my main focus, I am available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday bookings. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent care, exercise, companionship, and supervision. I live in a pet friendly community in Midtown. The area includes designated pet relief stations with waste bags readily available, making it easy to keep the environment clean and comfortable. Im only a five-minute walk from a local dog park where dogs can enjoy additional activity and socialization, with owner permission. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping pets supervised, following their regular routines, and ensuring they have a clean, secure, and welcoming environment while in my care
“Hanan took amazing care of Frankie. It was comforting and sweet to see how Frankie warmed up more and more throughout the check-ins. We couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. ❤️”
About: What sets me apart is my professional animal care experience combined with genuine compassion for every pet I meet. As an Animal Care Technician, I have experience handling animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I understand animal behavior, safety, and the importance of creating a calm, trusting environment. I am comfortable caring for puppies learning routines, energetic pets needing exercise and enrichment, and senior animals requiring extra patience and attention. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and provide personalized care through play, companionship, feeding routines, and observation of their health and behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and respected while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in experienced hands. I currently work for Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC) during the morning hours so I’m available after 4pm Monday through Thursday and on Friday and Saturday Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and house rules. I maintain a clean, calm environment, ensure doors and gates remain secure, provide constant supervision when appropriate, and treat both your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.
“Bre was wonderful with our two cats, Stella and Griffin! She graciously accepted a last-minute booking without hesitation and kept us at ease the entire time with prompt and thorough communication. The rover card cards were great with notes and photos to keep us updated for each day of or vacation!”
“Karen was great!! She was recommended to me when my original sitter wasn’t available and I’m so happy she was. She spent extra time with my kittens to make sure they were happy and cared for in my absence. Definitely recommend!”
“Ariel was a great to work with. A strong communicator, animal lover and very punctual. I knew Frootie was getting great care and extra pets while I was away. I would highly recommend Ariel!”
“Lauren is very professional; she thought of everything. But also easy-going and chill. She had to deal with a broken sink, an extra foster cat, and communication with both my partner and me. She rolled with it all. As a bonus, her reviews are super funny. We were cracking up as we read them, and seeing the time she put into those updates made me realize she must have put that much effort into caring for our pets, too. Lauren really went above and beyond!”
“Chelsea did an amazing job watching our cats! She had great communication (clear, prompt, kind) both before the booking and during the drop in visits, which was very appreciated! One of our cats is a bit spicy, and the other is super shy, and she did a great job respecting their boundaries while also trying to make sure they were comfy. She clearly is very familiar with cats and has a lot of experience with them. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!”
“Marissa is always amazing - great communication, thorough, and you can tell she truly cares about your pets. I'm so grateful that we found someone we can trust to give our cat's medication as well.”
“Katy was great with my pup! She truly cares for you and your pets to get the best experience, and even stayed longer with my puppy to makeup for a small miscommunication we had. She was very patient with my young puppy and I will definitely use Katy again.”
About: I have 3 family dogs, and co-parent 2 cats. 2 of the dogs are elderly and require special attention, including medicine, watching for allergies, and specialized food. 1 of the cats is an orphaned kitten who needs special attention as well. I have experience with all kinds of pets at all ages, and have experience with caring for elderly pets and young pets including: giving medicine, giving specialized food, specific playtime needs, specific potty-time schedules, watching for medical events, and more. I currently work part-time for the City of East Lansing and am a student at Michigan State. I love animals and this is a perfect way to get my animal fix alongside my part-time job (and co-parenting 2 cats)! As stated in my Pet Care Experience I have knowledge of all kinds of specialized needs for elderly and young pets. I am able to accommodate any needs for your pets. Being able to adapt how I care for pets depending on their specific behavior and needs are something I have experience in, and can do for you and your pets!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Detroit
Azariah was very communicative and it’s very obvious that she cares for animals. She followed all instructions to care for my two kitties. I got plenty of pictures and sweet little messages about how they interacted with her and it was nice that even my shyest cat came out when she would come over. I’ll absolutely book with Azariah again.
This was my first time ever using something like this and Randi had made it such a positive experience!! Randi is so sweet and amazing! She’s fast with communication and super good with instructions and from our first meeting I could tell she was going to be perfect! I had her watch my two cats for 4 Days and they were very happy to see her and enjoyed hanging out with her! I will be 100% using her again and I definitely recommend her!
I’m very happy with the care my cat received. She followed all of my instructions carefully and completed the basic care exactly as requested. Knowing my cat was safe made my trip much less stressful. I really appreciate her help and would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!
Preti was great with our cat Nebula. She came by our place before hand and asked questions while getting to know our girl a little bit. She filled out Rover Cards with detail and let me know if something unexpected happened. Overall she was a great sitter. Will be looking to book again.
Sydney did a great job watching my senior cat Jack. He mainly needs attention, and she spent the full 30-minute session after basic needs were taken care of giving him cuddles and spending time with him. I came back to find everything in order and a happy cat. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her!
Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.
Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip. Areatha was incredibly flexible in making sure our kitty got her meds. She was always on top of communication and sent us photos and videos. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Detroit on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,897 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Detroit. 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 Detroit. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
