“I couldn't be happier to have Evelyn look after my fur babies. Most importantly I am able to trust her with my babies and my home. Thank you Evelyn. Helps to make the absences easier.”
About: I've had dogs of my own in the past! All of my dogs loved me and I have taken care of my friends dogs, pups! I am available after my current job. I dont have a car so I can scooter to your house. I may not answer ASAP so bear with me. I am very good with animals. They tend to enjoy being around me. My parents and people around me call me the animals whisperer lol.
“Chris was super flexible- responded quickly and for a short notice sit at that! Furthermore, he was kind, personable, and professional upon meeting. He did amazing with our crazy, very big, very excitable dog. You can tell he stayed to spend time playing and giving our pup attention. Timely and communicative as well! We will be using him as our first line sitter from now on whenever possible!”
“Monica was outstanding, I don't think my cats wanted us to come home! Monica took care of their basic needs and went well beyond and made sure they got lots of pets, they played with toy mice and they were brushed. They daily photos were such a nice way for us to check in on them. Even my shy cat bonded with her. I would use Monica again and again. Can't say enough nice things about her.”
About: Dependable and very responsible. Mature, considerate and polite. I have a 20-year-old male cat that I rescued at 6 months old. I understand how important his health is and ensure that his needs are met on a daily basis. I have a pretty flexible schedule and available as well on weekends and holidays. I dog sit for two families, each own labs. I cat sit for my neighbors when they travel out of town for work and family events. I follow the owner's detailed instructions regarding feeding time, medications, etc. None of my dogs have had an accident in the house while the owner is away because I follow the owner's time schedule as if they were home.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I’ve always had a deep connection with pets. I’ve owned five dogs, ranging from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have also had three kitties as well! My experience with different life stages of both cats and dogs means I understand their unique needs and how to provide the love and care they deserve. I have also worked in a doggie daycare/boarding facility in the past that cared for dogs, cats, and exotics! This means I have even more confidence and experience with all animals! Despite my busy schedule with work and school, pet care remains a priority. While my parents handle most of the care for our dogs, I step in to watch them when they’re away, ensuring their safety by closing off areas of the house if I need to leave. I also manage feeding and letting them outside when everyone else is at work. Additionally, I own three crested geckos, to which I am dedicated, feeding them and misting their tanks with water twice a day. I also own two cats and clean their litter boxes and feed them once a day. This routine fits well with my other responsibilities, allowing me to provide consistent care for all our pets. I am committed to following the specific instructions provided by dog owners for their pets' care. Whether it involves feeding schedules, or any special needs, I will adhere to these guidelines to ensure their comfort and well-being. If crating is required for their safety or comfort, I will implement it as directed, ensuring a secure and positive environment for the dog while following the owner's preferences.
“Kayla was great with Biscuit!! She provided plenty of pictures and updates. Biscuit is a kitten so he requires playtime and Kayla went the extra mile playing with him. You could tell she just loves cats”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and personalities, including those who need extra care or medication. I love getting to know each pet and learning what makes them comfortable, whether that means sticking to their usual routine or adjusting to their individual needs. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care to help your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands! I currently work part-time while saving for tuition, so I’m motivated to make the most of my flexible schedule and find arrangements that work for both you and your pets. My hours vary, which often allows me to accommodate busy schedules. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits most weekdays, with more availability for extended stays on weekends. I’m always happy to communicate and work together to find a schedule that best fits your pet’s needs! I have plenty of experience caring for pets in their own homes and am comfortable learning their routines, respecting their space, and helping them feel safe in their familiar environment. I take great care to follow each owner’s instructions and treat every home with respect. While I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and walks, my current living arrangements with my own pets don’t allow me to host pets or offer overnight stays at this time. My priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away!
“Tami was very professional in her communications with me, I felt secure with her daily updates on my kitties. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I returned from my trip, so I know Tami gave them love and attention besides feeding and scoopin' their poop! Thank you Tami, I will use your cat sitting services again. Susan”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 15. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and turtles, both as my own pets and for others. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic grooming, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away and can send lots of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and loved! My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and extended stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality and boundaries and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including subcutaneous fluids, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Hanan took great care of Oreo while we were gone and she is the first overnight stay Rover that actually listens to us and takes advantage of the stay and treats it like a staycation which we encourage. We came home to a happy kitty!”
About: I’ve been a foster family for numerous dogs over the years. I’ve worked with numerous breeds and have been boarding for numerous consistent clients for over a decade. Animals are my deepest passion. Additionally, I have been rescuing domestic ducks for the past few years. Your pet will be loved as if they’re my own. I’ve worked with blind and deaf animals, dogs who pull on a leash, dogs who cannot be around other animals, and more! I currently work part time as a caregiver for special needs adults and children. If I am not home, I am not gone longer than 4 hours. I am in a masters degree program that is fully online so the rest of my week I am at home. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’ve been working with animals all my life and always have an animal in the house. I have boarded and fostered for over 15 years and love to meet new animals and see reoccurring clients. I have a fenced in yard and offer lots of playtime and cuddles. Animals are allowed on the furniture but if you do not prefer that then I absolutely understand. I am more than welcome to crate your pet or not, the choice is yours! I have worked with many animals with behavior concerns and special needs. There is no animal that is too challenging.
“Madeleine was very nice, respectful, and helpful while taking care of my cats. There were a couple of minor hiccups—she arrived late on the first day and spent quite a bit of time on her phone rather than actively playing with the cats—but overall, she provided good care, and everything went well.”
About: Hi my name is Danielle and I would love to watch your furry friend for you while you are at work, school, etc. I'm a dog groomer, I've worked at an animal hospital, PetSmart , activity centers as a midnight animal caretaker and I've had experiences dealing with special needs dogs and seniors, I know warning signs of seizures and I'm very alert. I've been surrounded by dogs all my life and i love them so much, I find being around dogs to be very therapeutic for me and it helps them as well. I'm also into professional photography so get ready for a lot of pics of your pets. I'm not quite ready to stop doing services for my furry friends . I look forward to meeting you and your pal:) Rover is my main priority right now, so I have open availability to care for your fur babies. I usually need a heads-up for booking purposes, but message me, and maybe we can make arrangements for a visit sooner. I'm always on high alert when it comes to watching your furry friends, especially when it comes to dog-aggressive pets when we're outside. I also believe safety is super important to me.
About: My experience with animals began early—my first job at age 12 was dog walking in my neighborhood. Since then, I’ve provided care for families with multiple pets while working as a nanny. I'm also a proud rescue dog owner and an enthusiastic “dog aunt” to a Husky/Shepherd mix and a German Shepherd. I’m comfortable with all breeds and take pride in my ability to read and approach dogs in a way that ensures safe and positive interactions for both of us. As an active person, I genuinely enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. Based in Fraser, I travel regularly through Metro Detroit, including frequent visits to St. Clair Shores. This makes it easy for me to accommodate walks or drop-in visits across a wide area. I’m the go-to pet person for friends and family—and I’d love to become that for you, too! I'm here to support and adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure the best possible care. I look forward to discussing the specifics with you so we can find a schedule and approach that works well for both you and your pet. At this time I am not accepting any pets within my own home, but am confident in addressing your pets in yours. We can discuss more on an individual basis
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.

5 stars every time. Heather is meticulous about understanding our multi pet households needs and preferences to ensure the best possible care. She has come to be an integral part of any travel plans. She is communicative and consistent with updates and pictures to ensure peace of mind back home. She is trustworthy, dependable and an animal lover who genuinely cares for our family. Thank you so much, Heather!
Mary took fantastic care of our cats. She’s so patient with our shy Gus, who has finally decided that Mary is a-ok. Gino, of course, is her biggest fan. We have zero concerns leaving them both in Mary’s care - she provides great updates and pictures and both boys are well loved while we are gone. We can’t ask for more! Mary also went above and beyond taking in very large packages that came while we were away - it is much appreciated. We already have Mary booked for our next trip!
So happy Jillian was available to do stop ins for our 3 cats. She showed them so much love and care, took care of everything we asked and made sure to send us daily notes and photos. Really appreciate the care which went above and beyond and will absolutely book again down the road.
Jenna provided exceptional service taking care of my cats while I was out of town. I really appreciated the pictures from each of her visits and was impressed with the overall cleanliness - one of my cats is a messy eater! - when I returned. I am so grateful to have met Jenna and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
