“Genuinely an incredible cat sitter. Very attentive to detail, thoughtful, and friendly. Informative and thorough Rover Cards. Went above and beyond, even offering to take our trash to curb while away. Would 100% recommend for kittens or young cats.”
“Jessica was amazing! She provided thorough updates on her time with my cats, and let us know how they were doing under her care. Loved the photos she sent and she even got some playing time in too. Would definitely book again!”
“Hannah was great! I really appreciated her taking care of my cat while I was away and doing extra things like cleaning her water bowl and bringing in our packages! I would recommend Hannah.”
“Fernanda was so great with my cat! She sent me lots of pictures of him to show he was doing well, sent detailed updates, and she was great at giving him his medicine. I'll definitely ask her again if I need a sitter in the future!”
“Abby is excellent—caring, diligent, professional, & responsible. Wonderful with both cats & dogs. She boarded my cat for six days, & I felt I was leaving him in expert hands. I’ll gladly use her again!”
“Erin was great when house sitting my cat! She not only was patient with me due to Internet issues, she was very willing to meet the technician at my house to fix the internet during her stay. She also was extremely patient with my shy cat and eventually won him over. I fully recommend her for any of your house sitting needs (and dog walking as well!)”
“Shannon is amazing! Such open communication and goes above and beyond to keep my home tidy and my cats spoiled while I’m away! I would highly recommend had to anyone ?”
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.
“Audrey was responsible, communicative, and always sent a note with photos of all the cats when she visited. She also played with the more active ones. Thanks! I will be using her services again in the future.”
About: As a long time pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your animals. I treat every pet in my care the same way I’d want mine to be treated—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, love, and attention! During visits, I can also help with feeding, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and in-home drop-in visits. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. Also, have experience with Seniors.
About: I’ve taken very good care of my cat for the last few years. I love the little guy, it has inspired me to want to take care of other cats. I work full time, so I can only make appointments for the evenings. I work a 9-5 Monday thru Friday. I am available on weekends too. For my home my cat has everything he needs, including lots of toys, scratching posts, scratching pads, cardboard boxes, and lots of really good catnip.
About: With 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, I understand that every animal deserves personalized care. As a pet owner myself, I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to bottle-fed kittens and insulin-dependent pets. I provide flexible, attentive care, along with regular updates and clear communication, so you can have the same peace of mind I would want when my own pets are in someone else’s care. Pet sitting fits into my weekly routine, giving me the opportunity to check in, take walks, or provide longer care tailored to each adorable pet. I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.
“Kylie stayed with our two cats for two weeks while we were out of town. One of our cats requires oral medication twice daily. Kylie did this easily. She communicated with us and sent daily pictures of our babies. Also, at the end of the stay she went above and beyond to wash the sheets, towels, and ran the dishwasher.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two rescue dogs and two rescue cats of my own. I will spoil your pet as if they were mine and I’m happy to provide photos and or videos during my visit. I work full-time, but with enough notice I can also work remotely and stay with your pet if needed during the day. I am also available for drop ins as needed.

About: I live in Troy and have raised a dog and two cats from the time they were babies. I’m used to daily feeding, litter, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to a pet’s normal routine.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lathrup Village
She did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away for three days! She visited every day, took care of her feeding and litter box, and spent time playing with her. She also sent daily photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat was doing well when I got home, and the litter box was clean. I really appreciate her care and communication, and I would happily book her again. Highly recommend!
Alex and Zach are awesome, they are incredibly responsive and attentive to all correspondence, take amazing care of feeding and caring for my cats, and make sure they take pictures of my cats for each visit. I super appreciate this as it gives me peace of mind seeing my pets while I'm away, and I know they are in good hands. Thank you Alex and Zach!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lathrup Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,985 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lathrup Village. 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 .
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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
