Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

Catherine is great! I knew from our meet and greet that she is a genuine animal lover! She immediately got down onto the floor to calmly and gently introduce herself to my cat. Dani went right up to her with confidence. Catherine took such good care of my Dani while I was on vacation. She made sure that she had plenty of food and water each day and tended to the litter box. Catherine took time to pet, brush, and play with Dani too. She also took a lot of great photos. I could see from the photos that Dani was thoroughly enjoying Catherine’s company and attention. I will definitely use Catherine in the future and confidently recommend her pet sitting services to others.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. I understand how important routines, comfort, and safety are, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a student at Towson University! All of my classes take place in morning/early afternoon so I am free in afternoons/ evenings. The weekends I am completely free as well! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medication instructions. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also maintain open communication with owners by providing regular updates and photos, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Most importantly, I give each pet patience, attention, and affection to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.

In a matter of days Jules managed to become not just my shy fur baby’s best friend, but also left a lasting impression on me! I’m so thrilled I found her on Rover (so is my cat) and I plan to continue booking Jules for future visits as needed! I would highly recommend Jules to anyone looking for a responsible, caring and trustworthy cat bestie!

We were in a bind when our regular cat sitter had to cancel last minute due to illness, and Kerri stepped in immediately. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and took full responsibility from the start, which gave us such peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she handled everything seamlessly on short notice. Most impressively, our two very timid cats actually came out to greet her — something that almost never happens! We’re so grateful to have found Kerri and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend!

About: I am a undergraduate pre-vet student who currently works part time as a vet assistant at an emergency/specialty veterinary hospital, so trust me when I say there’s not a single day I’m not surrounded by furry friends. On my off days, you’ll find me volunteering with local shelters near my university or my hometown during summer breaks! I care for all animals as if they were my own and I truly find joy in spending time with them. I am very flexible fitting to your pets needs and I am comfortable administering medications if necessary. I love to send picture updates as well :) I am currently working part-time at a veterinary emergency/specialty hospital on Sundays and Mondays (8-7) but I am flexible throughout the week around those days! I highly emphasize a safe and stress-free experience for your pet and work patiently to help nervous or anxious animals feel as comfortable as possible.

I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕

About: I love all types of dogs, and am the type of person who can't pass a dog in the street without stopping to say hi and give him/her a pet. I have a dog of my own, Mia, a 7 year old German Shepherd mix. I love her, but she's a handful, so I have experience with dogs who might need a little extra attention and care. I'm a teacher and off for the summer so I have plenty of time during the week (and on some weekends) to walk your pup. Unfortunately, my dog is not the most friendly to others so I cannot host your dog in my home. We'll have fun being out and about though!

About: I have had 2 dogs growing up. One large German Shepherd and one small Cockapoo. I have also taken care of my family and friends dogs when on vacation, ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to medium Labs. I love dogs and love to take them on long walks I currently work part time so I have lots of time to go on walks. I am a big runner and have done half marathons. I love to run with dogs and take them out for miles. I can pick them up and take them around anywhere near the area. I know how to hold back a strong dog and keep them from going where they shouldn’t.

About: I've had pets all my life and been incredibly responsible about them since I was small. Dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles 🐶🐈‍⬛️🦎 are all in my pet sitting repetoire from personal experience growing up! Currently I have two dogs, one small shih-tzu 🤍terrier and one large German Shepherd 🐕 that get along great. As you can see in-home boarding at my house will be unavailable because of this. I am open to very quick notice sits as long as they do not conflict with my primary job, which is as a restaurant server in a pizza place! 🍕 I will always feed on time 🥣, take pets out to go safely and on a leash or in a fenced area, administer medicine 💊 properly, as instructed and when needed, and accomodate for any other methods of care your pet is used to in order to make them feel comfortable and build a bond! I'm taking care of them, after all -- they deserve someone they'll get to know! If you need someone reliable, intelligent and passionate about animals then look no further. You've found your pet sitter for life! I'm working part-time as a restaurant server as I mentioned before. My schedule is posted monthly so I will have plenty of time in advance to know whether or not your pet can receive my care! And I have not much else going on otherwise in terms of availability. In your home I would be respectful of all assets and living spaces, as well as supervise the pets to make sure they don't cause trouble. If they do I have open communication at all times and would of course clean up after them as well! I feed and take them out or clean up after them regularly, and of course every animal is different so we will discuss what times every animal is used to and fit them in to the boarding schedule! For walks, feeds, or medication through drop-ins we would discuss a schedule as well, be it weekly, daily, or whatever you need.

About: Hi! My name is Audrey. I have experience caring for pets through personal and informal care, including feeding, walking, and providing companionship for dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with drop-in visits and understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine while their owner is away. I can administer medication if necessary. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I provide clear updates and photos after each visit. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and aim to create a calm, reassuring presence. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Caring for pets fits easily into my weekly routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for drop-in visits and walks. I keep a flexible schedule so I can be available when pets need care, and I always do my best to be consistent, punctual, and attentive. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free during drop-in visits. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, and medications if needed. I always pay attention to safety, making sure doors are closed and pets are secure before leaving. I also spend time giving pets affection and calm companionship so they feel cared for while their owner is away. I send updates and photos after each visit for peace of mind 💛

Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.

I highly recommend Madison! She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets as if they were her own. My cats were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned home. I would absolutely book with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Howell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Howell on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,756 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Howell. 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 Howell. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
