“Theresa is amazing. She goes above and beyond with both your pets and your home to ensure you can truly enjoy your trip and not worry about your fur babies! She is very thoughtful, communicative, punctual, and our kitty boys loved her!!”
“Sarah was amazing! She took incredible care of our cat and he warmed to her instantly. We would happily entrust Sarah again with the care of our furry loved one. Additionally, my partner ended up getting really sick which delayed the start to our trip (and cat care). Sarah was so flexible and understanding! Highest Rec!”

About: I’m a girl that enjoys spending my free time with furry friends! I have 10+ years of experience working pets of all kinds. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors rely on me for their pet sitting needs, and I have experience as a vet assistant, kennel technician, and veterinary receptionist. I am currently working on my undergrad to become a Veterinary Technician as well :) I am available for dog walking, house check-ins, potty time and bathing/nail trims on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday's after 5pm. I have open availability for all services on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday's. Caring for pets whether they're canines or felines in my home or at a client's home is very important. As always, they will have access to water at all times, receive their meals and medications (will be documented to keep track), and be loved as if they're my own. All pets will go potty regularly, spend time doing enrichment activities and go on walks to stretch their legs. Regarding our kitty friends, their litter boxes will be checked twice a day to ensure urine and bowel production, and they will receive the same care as our pups.
About: I have 16 years of experience in caring for pets. I currently have two Pomeranian mixes of my own! I’ve grown up with many different breeds of dogs including ACD’s, a yorkie, a puggle & chihuahua mixes. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years being responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, training and administering medications. I have trained 3 puppies as well as cared for two blind senior dogs. I have even cared for a rescued baby squirrel! I absolutely love dogs and would do anything to ensure that they are properly cared for. I am a foster parent for Almost Home Animal Rescue and absolutely love rescuing pups in need. I also grew up with cats and absolutely love them! I have cared for 3+ cats and rescued a kitten from my previous neighborhood! I’m currently working part time while I am in graduate school and my partner currently works from home most days so my schedule is very flexible for care. I am available weekdays except for Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings, as I coach a dance team during that time. We currently reside in a house in Farmington Hills with a huge fenced in backyard. The house has been puppy proofed as we approved foster parents with Almost Home Animal Rescue. When caring for a new pet, I always make sure to give them a comfortable and positive experience with me.
“Maria was available on short notice and did an amazing job. I was heading out of town and she not only came over for a meet & greet the night of the booking, but she was able to check in on my dogs over the upcoming weekend.”
About: Taken care of our two dogs and one cat, along with helping out family dogs since I was a teenager. Very comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. Currently working full time but more than ready to help out on weekends and evenings! I will have some availability on weekdays due to working remotely. As a pet owner I understand wanting the best for your animals. When in your home I will make sure they don't get into anything and I am very attentive when out walking.
About: Hi! I’m so excited to help care for your furry friends. I have two cats of my own that are great around other animals. I grew up around larger dogs (black lab, English shepherd, labradoodle) but am comfortable with pups of all sizes. I frequently dog sit for a few of my friends who have medium/large dogs and I’ve also watched over birds, rodents, and reptiles. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and caring for pets with special needs. I would love to care for your pets at your place! Ask me anything, and let me know if I’d be a good fit for caring for your fur babies! I work as a teacher, so I am able to check in on pets in the early morning and early afternoon-night on weekdays. On the weekends and during the summer I can spend as much time as you’d like with your pet. :) I have a lot of experience babysitting and pet-sitting in others’ homes, and I will always respect your space and belongings. You can expect me to leave your place clean and your pets happy and loved.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
My kitties have always been cautious around strangers and typically won't greet anyone unless they know them. But within a day Sarah was able to get them to have treats from her and eat while she is around and ACTUALLY allowing them to be petted by her. They aren't the type of cats that warm up to strangers this quickly. I am pleasantly shocked and it truly warmed my heart for other people to see how sweet my little babies are. Thank you so much for doing the drop-in visits.
We absolutely loved having LeAnna take care of our cats! She was so sweet and caring with all of them, and we really appreciated that she was comfortable giving our senior cat her medication. It made being away so much easier knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated and we could tell our cats were happy and well taken care of when we got home. We would definitely have LeAnna watch them again!
Maria was wonderful with my two kitties! She was friendly, responsive, and stopped by for check-ins while we were away. She followed all of the instructions I left, and my cats have quite a few gadgets (a Litter Robot, microchip feeders, etc.), which wasn’t a problem for her at all. Most importantly, my super shy kitty (who never comes out for strangers) came out to see her right away! I was so happy that he felt comfortable with her, especially since he gets extremely anxious when we’re away. He’s had sitters in the past who never see him because he likes to hide, yet he was eating treats out of her hand. I would absolutely recommend Maria and would happily book with her again! :)
This is our second time I’m using Madalyne to watch our three kitties. She watched them for three weeks while we went out of the country. Even our shy kitties warmed up to her and allowed her to actually pet them, which was amazing. She did a great job and we will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $19.98 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 2,153 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Farmington. 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 Farmington. 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.
