“Hannah was a great friend date for our doodles. They both looked so happy to be with her and the communication was great! We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you”
“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. ❤️”
“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.”
“Lauren was amazing with my little guy! She took such good care of him, helped him get his meds, and was so easy to coordinate with. And she visited him *twice* on Christmas Day! I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Tara was wonderful with Rosie! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Rosie was well cared for, happy, and clearly comfortable in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Tara again. Highly recommend!”
“Callie took such good care of our two cats while we were camping this weekend. Both our kitties are on the shy side, but Callie won them over so quickly. This was the longest we’ve left our youngest cat (6 Mo), and he required antibiotics via syringe twice a day. Callie visited them two times each day, and was able to give our cat his medicine without any issues. She sent us updates and photos every visit. I highly recommend working with Callie!”
“Lukis was very kind and efficient with getting back to me. My situation was different I was in a state of urgency bc my pets were not being cared for properly while I was gone and booked her the night before and she came to help my babies I’m so appreciative and will be booking with them from now on.”
About: I have a family dog of 12 years that I helped my parents train. I have also fostered multiple dogs including senior dogs who were on medication and needed more attention. I am currently a 2nd year Physican Assistant student at the University of Detroit Mercy. I am entering my clinical year, meaning I will be working different shifts each month for an entire year. Due to my very diverse schedule, I would be able to pick up shifts as needed and can be flexible from month to month. I live in an apartment complex in Midtown Detroit. The complex has a large gated fence around it that many dogs go out to. My apartment is about 500 square feet and is suitable for small to medium sized dogs!
“Randi took such great care of Mojo, she did not fail to post photos at each visit and even gave attention to my dog. She provided helpful tips regarding mojos dietary needs which he needed. Randi is very trustworthy and I recommend!”
“Bre is so nice and caring!!! She is so great at communicating about my puppy and always does extra steps to make sure that my puppy is happy and comfortable. She is so great!!!”
“Ariel was great with our cats! We loved the pictures and we could tell our cats felt comfortable with her. We’ll definitely reach out to have her cat sit again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child as my family had a farm when I was growing up. I have also rescued most of the animals that I’ve had and wish to rescue way more in the future. I’m currently enrolled in Schoolcraft community college studying nursing. I don’t have a job at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I would love to take care of your precious babies I actually will not be able to take care of your pets at my house as I do have some pets that don’t get along with other animals so I wouldn’t want to take the risk but I would love to come to your house and take care of your pets and walk them and look after them exactly how you want me to
About: I grew up with all types of pets, and pet sat for friends and family throughout undergrad. I've cared predominantly for dogs, ranging from a young miniture dachshund to an elderly lab mix. I am more than happy to take on new experiences and can swiftly adapt to meet your pets needs. In addition to caring for pets, I have an ever growing (and thriving) plant collection in my own home and have frequently taken on plant sitting as well. I am a full-time law student and work part-time on the weekends. During the week, my schedule is flexible, providing me time before, after, or even between classes to check in on your pets. On the weekends, I typically work in the evening but remain free all morning. I also love to get outside and go for walks as much as I can and would love to have a furry friend come along! I believe caring for a pet in their own home is the better option. I think pets tend to feel more safe and secure in a familiar environment, which can help counter having an unfamiliar person around at the start. Additionally, in their own home, pets have access to all the food, toys, and other comforts they are used to. My first priority is to make sure your pet is safe and happy. I am always more than happy to adapt to your pets specific needs.
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.
“Marissa is an amazing dog sitter. She made five drop-in visits for my 5-month-old puppy. Not only did she take care of him, but she also improved his training! He improved the "sit" command and was finally starting to lie down on command and recognize his "place" in the living room. Marissa is compassionate, patient and understanding. My dog loves her. I hope to book with her again very soon.”

Jeannette does an amazing job, and puts love and care into every visit with our aging cat. She spoils him, plays with him and gives him enrichment and attention. She’s our “go to” sitter, and I wouldn’t leave my cat with anyone else! She’s the BEST!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,909 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.
