About: Hi! I’m Kat! 🐾 I've spent much of my life around & caring for animals, I’ve assisted in volunteer work at a shelter working with animals of all type & size! I have experience with animals with: special needs, medical conditions & special diets. Pet care & well being is my priority, I want to ensure a happy and comfortable experience for you & your animal companion. I'm now exclusively working in animal care & services! My schedule for booking is updated regularly, if there is a date that is unavailable or booked out, please reach out. I may be able to open up my schedule for you! Health, safety and well being of an animal is a priority to me, in my personal life and in the experience I have caring for animals, it is not something I take a risk on and is my priority as a guardian and caretaker, I do not take any chances with possibilities of potential harm or safety of an animal. I also keep extra leashes & leads, cooling collars for warmer days, bowls, bathroom bags, and safety gear in my car + on me at all times during our bookings. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!
“Jackie is always wonderful with our boy Nigel! She takes such good care of him and always goes above and beyond. We love the pictures she sends and really appreciate the updates and quick responses. Don’t hesitate to book with Jackie, she is the absolute best!”
“Kelly took great care of our 3 cats while we were away. She was a great communicator and made sure to meet with us before we left so everyone was comfortable. I would highly recommend Kelly, and plan on contacting her any time we go out of town!”
“Renee is wonderful! Brady loves her. She is so easy to work with and I have complete trust and confidence in her ability and knowledge to take care of my furbaby.”
“Kara did a great job with a drop in visit for my anxious German Shepherd! She made the process so easy and took great care of my pup. Looking forward to booking her again for future drop in visits!”
“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.”
About: Our family absolutely adores dogs. We have experience boarding up to several weeks at a time while owners are on vacations. Your pup will be pampered with snuggles and love. Our home has a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run around. I currently work weekdays, so Friday at 6 PM until Sunday at 7 PM is completely available for overnights or daytime visits. Also available for walks after 6 PM Monday through Thursday. I have a fenced in backyard and will keep your dog within sight at all times. My home comes with 2 assistants; my 8 and 11 year old sons who LOVE dogs and will play endlessly with your pet.
“Loved having Kathleen stop in and spend time with Cooper! She met all his needs as planned and he was well taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about him and that’s why I’d book her again. Thank you so much!”
“I trust Brianna with my incredibly shy cat, she makes time to try to give her pets and churu treats even though the cat hides in a closet the whole time. Thank you for taking care of her again!”
About: My family and I raised a pug named Poppy for 13 years and later another named Daisy. Poppy passed away last year after living a full and loving life under our care. I still miss her every day! Dogs seem to be drawn to me everywhere I go. And I’m always happy to play with them any opportunity I get! Don’t be surprised if you fur baby begs you to come back after our time together. Background in semi professional baseball and financial wealth management I work typically 9-6 on weekdays with some flexibility. Occasionally later depending on client meetings. Weekends I’m normally free, especially during the winter. I do play in multiple sports leagues, but those are usually on weeknights. I have a fenced in yard with a dog lead and is located within a subdivision away from a busy street. I also have a big open basement with padded floors for your pet to run around and play in. My house is very clean and even has brand new carpets. I allow pets on furniture, I just typically wipe off their paws after we return from walks or playing in the yard. My cat is friendly, but I also have a guest room upstairs she can stay in when company is over. No small objects or choking hazards around and very few breakable items for them to worry about running into.
“Ashley was good with our cats and dog, and was always easy to reach! Her communication was great and she sent pictures, too. I will definitely book Ashley again. Thank you, Ashley!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Kristin did a great job dropping in to visit, feed and let out our new puppy. I loved the photos she sent! We will definitely book her again.”
“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”
“Shelbi is absolutely amazing and so communicative about even the small details. I know my pups are in good hands when she comes by to drop in or walk them! I definitely recommend using her and she is my go to each and every time!! Thank you Shelbi for being you and taking such great care of Frank and Beans ;)”
“David was great with Gracie. She tends to get stressed when we're away, but she didn't have any reaction this time which, for her, is a compliment! It’s such a relief to find someone she’s comfortable with. Highly recommend!”

Jeannine and Justin did a fabulous job with our kitties! Spice is elderly and needs medication and they were able to take care of that. She also often uses the bathtub as a litter box. They cleaned up after her a the house was in great condition upon our return. They were also extremely communicative and we received photos and an update each day. I would highly recommend them!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,989 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 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 Lathrup Village. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
