“Erica is an excellent pet sitter! She is incredibly professional, responsive, kind, and loved on our cat while we were away for a few days! She provided daily updates and sweet photos. I felt comfortable and confident leaving our cat knowing Erica was there to check-in and play with her. Erica even offered to come back for our “meet and greet” when I forgot the original date/time. I highly recommend Erica for your pet-sitting needs!”
“I had Sarah as my first choice for a Rover pet sitter while my husband and I were away for a week on a trip. She is a great communicator and so nice! The whole time we were on vacation, my husband and I looked forward to her post-visit updates, photos, and videos. Not only were our cats' base needs taken care of, but she played and bonded with them. Mocha and Chai trust her and it shows. Thank you so much, Sarah!”
“Theresa did a great job checking in on our cat while we were on vacation. This was the second time we have used her for drop in visits. She is always prompt and keeps us updated on how he is doing and providing cute photos. Thanks again Theresa!!!”
“Emily was so sweet and kind! She took such great care of Georgia and kept me updated throughout the visit. I especially loved that she sent me pictures, it gave me so much peace of mind and I truly appreciated it! 🥰 She was super easy to communicate with and made the whole experience stress-free. I would 100% recommend Emily and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Erin watched my kitties on short notice and I'm very grateful. She was careful to follow instructions and even managed to give my stubborn cat medicine (I was semi-okay with him missing a dose, but ask her to at least try) and make friends with my very shy kitty. It was all very reassuring and I would definitely recommend.”
“Kayla was so amazing with our cat! she communicates very quickly and sends lots of updates :) I felt so at ease and safe leaving our little kitty with her ❤️ Will def be rebooking in the future !!!!”
“We hired Charlene to take care of our 7 month old cat while we were away for a week, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was awesome! not only did she take great care of our cat, but she also went above and beyond by refilling our bird feeder. She handled everything with such care that we never worried about our cat while we were away. We can’t recommend her highly enough and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Jordan was awesome! Responded quickly to my request for services. Took initiative to learn more about Watson prior to visit. He on time for both visits, played/walked Watson and sent great pics. Highly recommend Jordan. Will definetley use him again.”
“Emily was wonderful! She took the time to share pictures and keep me updated on things going on while I was away. It was very easy to communicate with her as she’s very responsive. She was also very tidy and left our home very clean and neat. I’ve already booked with her for another trip and look forward to reaching out to her for more needs beyond that. Highly recommend her for anyone in need of pet sitting !”
“Persephone unfortunately got sick just before - and during :( - Ashley's visits which made me a bit worried but Ashley took great care of her and gave me updates so I knew all was well. Thanks for going above and beyond!”
“Awesome as always, handles multiple medications for my cat with renal disease and the very different feeding set ups for my two cats perfectly. And she has managed to win over one of my shy cats who now snuggles with her 😄”
“Fernanda was absolutely amazing while caring for our energetic kitty! She was professional, thoughtful, and sent lots of pictures and videos of our little guy while we were away. She even spent extra time on a drop in visit to provide extra love and cuddles. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Review from Jazzy the pet: I love Sarang! I am a very needy, attention seeking pet. Sarang is so patient and caring. Sarang gives me countless belly rubs, lets me follow around into bathroom. I am fed, walked on time. I hope Sarang will always be my sitter! Love Jazzy.”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in the pets who need a little extra: seniors, anxious or reactive dogs, and pets on medication schedules (oral and injectable). I’m an approved foster parent with Almost Home Animal Rescue, where I’ve cared for dogs with special needs, helped shy and fearful pups come out of their shells, and managed multi-dog households with conflict, including food-aggressive and territorial dogs. I’ve trained puppies, nursed blind senior dogs through their golden years, and treat every pet in my care exactly as I would my own two dogs at home. I’m equally comfortable with cats. I grew up with them, have cared for 5+ over the years, and even rescued a kitten from my previous neighborhood. Whether it’s a confident cat who needs company or a shy one who needs space and patience, I tailor my approach to what each individual pet actually needs. Clients tell me they return from vacation to a happier, calmer pet than when they left and that’s the standard I hold myself to. 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.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Franklin is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
Lizzi was awesome. This was our first time leaving our super social under 1 year old kitten and I was really nervous. It was so great seeing updates of Zuzu happily playing, sleeping, eating and drinking.. being her happy self while we were away. Lizzi’s communication and kindness made this all a really easy experience for each of us when usually leaving a pet for the first time is very anxiety inducing. Lizzi is exactly the person I was looking for to take perfect care of Zuzu while we were away. That lextra level of attention and care that goes beyond being in a safe place and being fed, but truly knowing that someone with experience and compassion has their best interest at heart.
First off Heather and Robert are so kind. We instantly knew they were a blessing. All four of our pets instantly warmed up to them. Even our more antisocial cat! They both are very knowledgeable about dogs and helped us find good toys/ treats for both our heavy chewers. Secondly, while we were gone they sent a lot of updates and pictures! We appreciated it a lot since we missed our furbabies. We would highly recommend them for anyone who is in need of pet care.

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.

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.
