“Michelle watched our kitty for a week and was absolutely wonderful! She sent lots of pics and is clearly an animal lover that gives your pet the kind of attention they deserve. She went above and beyond - Great experience and would book again!”
About: I grew up in a dog household and absolutely love dogs but when I grew up and got my own place I got two cats who are darling. Now I'd love to volunteer my free time to help other pet parents in the area take care of their furry loved ones! Thursday - Sundays I'm available any time of day (I WFH on Thursdays and Fridays). If you need a check-in or walks before/after work Mondays-Wednesdays I'm also happy to help, my hours are just more limited because I'm in office during the day- but feel free to shoot me a message! I will be very diligent about keeping your home safe and respected just as I would want someone to do the same at my own home.
About: I have always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!
About: I have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends from a young age. My brother flys me out to LA to dog sit a couple times per year. My pet care knows no bounds! I have two Chihuahua mixes currently and am involved in the Chihuahua rescue community. I work from home so I plan to utilize rover on my daily lunch breaks! I have a flexible schedule as well that allows me to do this during the week. I cannot board animals in my home at this time due to my two dogs being antisocial divas. I will enjoy taking small/medium sized dogs out for short walks and/or let them out to potty in the yard. Can refill water/food if needed. I can scoop litter and top off food for cats as well
About: As of recently, many of my friends, families and coworkers have relayed on my flexibility to care for their beloved fur babies. I have a passion for loving animals and I truly believe they are one of the best gifts in this world. I can assure you, your pets with be overly showered with love (& treats) while you’re away :) I’m currently a full time HR consultant who is looking for some extra income while saving for a home! However, my schedule is extremely flexible and I can work all hours of the day to visit your fury babies (this will change in the new year 2027) My top priority is to make sure your pets feel the most comfortable/loved in their own home. I try my best to ensure they are kept on their schedule and minimize any stressors in the home.
About: I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rabbits and other tiny critters. I worked at a kennel so I have worked with a great variety of dogs, big and small, old and young. I have experience with giving medication as well as bathing and training dogs. Because of my kennel experience, I am not afraid of any size dog, even if they are on the more aggressive and energetic side. I have studied pet behavior and understand where my boundaries are and I will never overstep their boundaries. I want the animals under my care to feel as comfortable with me as possible. I am currently a full-time college student at Grand Valley State, so I am unable to offer full-time services. I am mainly looking for weekend work butt will still accept certain hours during the week. I live in an apartment, so boarding at my home is not an option due to pet limitations. But I am more than willing to care for my clients pets in their home!

“Rachel was great! Not only did she love on my babies like they were her own, but her and her daughter were very calming for my babes. Rachel sent LOTS of photos and was very loving towards my babies! I will definitely be using Rachel again🩷”

About: Hi! My name is Coryn. I am currently a 4th year medical school student in my clinical rotations here in Michigan. I have had 25+ years experience with taken care of dogs. I have cared for my family's dog for many years while growing up whether it be as big as a Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, or as small as a Scottish terrier. I have had a dog of my own but has unfortunately passed on to the rainbow bridge at 11 years old. I have now had 2-3 years of experience watching dogs a few years ago before I started medical school and took a hiatus. I am back to hopefully help my community with dog sitting or walking. I love dogs and am comfortable with any dog you bring my way. I can play with your dog and take them on many walks and play with them outside either at the dog park or the state park. I have a welcoming apartment home for your pet to stay if needed. I am able to watch your pet full time. There will either be me or my husband at home to take care of your pet 24/7. I am highly compassionate, sensitive to needs, and have 100% attention to the pets I take care of. I make sure your pet gets all their needs taken care of whether it be to go outside for potty time, walking, or play and if they are hungry or just need a treat.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life, from dogs🐶and cats🐱 to guinea pigs 🐹 and frogs 🐸. I have trained my own dogs to do tricks and also have experience working at a kennel. I spend a lot of time with my pets and would to spend time with yours too!🤗 I’m a part time college student but some of my classes are online so I have pretty flexible availability. I also work but only 3 days a week. My current pet family includes two dogs who are very good with other dogs and cats. (Although if your pets do not play well with others, they can be easily separated.) I’m lucky to live at home with my parents where pets would have plenty of space to run around and play🏡.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Howell
I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Howell is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
