“Hadley was amazing! She was so warm, caring, and attentive with our cat. We loved her updates and felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’d happily have her cat-sit for us again!”
“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Jillian did a wonderful job checking in on our cats and administering medication to our Meeko while we were away for the holiday weekend. She provided detailed report cards and took the most adorable pictures! Jillian was always very responsive and communicative throughout the weekend and we felt happy and at ease knowing our babies were well taken care of. Will definitely rebook her!”
“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.”
“Our cats had a wonderful experience with Renee while we were away for about a week. They warmed up to her surprisingly quickly and even played with her. She was attentive to each cat’s individual needs and quirks and clearly took the time to get to know all their personalities. I genuinely looked forward to her daily updates. Her notes were funny and spot-on, especially the little oddities and questionable choices our knuckleheads make, and the photos were a highlight. We came home to happy, relaxed cats who were clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Renee again and highly recommend her.”
About: My family adopted Muffy when I was 10. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that she adopted us as a stray who followed me home one day and never left. She was my cat and I was her person. She followed me everywhere; slept with me; and, even waited by the backdoor for me to come home. I learned how to love and care for a pet from her. Duchess joined our family in much the same way. Abandoned in an alley, my brother found and brought the puppy home. She was small enough to fit in his pocket. Duchy taught me about playfulness, curiosity, and how cuteness can often save you from the correction you earned. Through the years, there have been fish named Rocky, our cats Lucky and Chester (who lived to 19!), and our miniature schnauzers Molly and Kenzie. Molly had every ailment common to miniature schnauzers and had to be on medication for most of her ten years. We now share our hearts and home with Rosie, a Jack Russell, and Lyla, a Shi Tzu. Leader of the Paws trained Rosie and I and Zoom Room has been working with Lyla and me. I love my fur babies. That's why I love pet sitting. For the last month, I've been taking care of the two most beautiful Scottish Fold kitties in the world. One of them requires oral medication three times a day. They have completely stolen my heart! I welcome the opportunity to care for and grow to love your pets, too. I work as a paraeducator at the local high school between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM. I also tutor until 4:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays. My home is "pet-proofed" to keep my dogs safe when they are out of their crates. There are separate water/food bowls for each dog. We have a large, fenced yard, as well. I come home at lunch to let them outside and to give them their dental chews. After school, we have playtime, dinner, walk, and then cuddle time before bed.
About: I currently have a senior dog and a cat so I’ve had a broad range of experience with different ages of pets. I’m accustomed to giving animals medications as well as catering to an animals needs such as diet or activity level. I love all pets equally so whatever they need, I’ll give them! I currently work part time while I am finishing school. I am free during the week on Wednesday and Friday as well as weekends for walks or during the day check ins. I treat a pet as another person that I live with. I am always looking out for their needs and want to make their lives as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Whether it’s going on a walk or simply being a person to share the room with, I want your pets to have the best time possible.
About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.
“Sarah was wonderful! She spent the hour taking excellent care of my cats, including playing with them with their favorite toys. She sent wonderful pictures and videos, and I will be booking with her again!”
About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, so understanding their personalities and needs comes naturally. I've walked and cared for rescue dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels at the dog shelter I've volunteered in. I've also dog sat for friends and family over the years, and have even helped care for Rover clients' dogs on behalf of friends who were sitters. These experiences have taught me how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, consistency, and lots of affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, energetic playtime, or simply relaxing with good company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. I'm employed full-time, but I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can work from home when needed to provide attentive care for your pup. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I intend to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. An added bonus is that my wife, who's an even bigger dog lover than I am and has owned dogs throughout her life, is home during the day. That means your pup will have extra companionship, supervision, and lots of affection while staying with us. On weekends, we're both home and can dedicate our full attention to keeping your dog active, happy, and comfortable. The best care comes from keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're already familiar with. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, walking routine, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and any special instructions you provide. If your dog has medications, dietary restrictions, or favorite toys and activities, I'll make sure those needs are met. I enjoy playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they get both physical activity and time to relax. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll send regular photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.
About: I grew up with a dog and cat of my own, and was frequently left to watch the house and pets during family outings. Since moving out I've continued to frequently watch after my family's cats when they are out travelling. I have weekly appointments that take 1-2 hour 3 times a week. Other than that, I'm very flexible and can work around most things! I'm available for holidays! I like to try and learn about the animals individually! Learning one's personality is key to providing good care and a comfortable environment. Keeping up with the instructions left and letting the animal know I am a friend to them is the most important!
“Veronica was pleasantly easy to work with. Followed all instructions, my house clean the way I left it and my cat very calm when I got home. Responsive, sent the perfect amount of pictures. Will book again.”
About: With 24 years of experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, I provide loving, personalized care for each pet so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pup will enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention in my home with a large fenced yard, friendly resident dog, and nearby parks to explore. Dogs are family here—free to roam, relax on the furniture, and feel right at home! I care for only up to three small- and medium-sized dogs at a time, ensuring every pup gets the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 ❤️ I’m home full time, so I’m able to provide dogs care with my full attention. Whether morning, afternoon, or night I’m available round the clock to fit you and your pets schedule and needs! I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and pet friendly- with large areas to roam or smaller gated spaces ideal for dogs who prefer time alone, are shy, or being newly socialized. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance! Further, my dog Bernie is an excellent playmate for all dogs I care for.
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. I currently am unable to care for pets in my own home due to my pets personalities but am happy to watch them in their home environment.
About: Animals have always been one of my greatest passions and being able to work with them is a dream come true. I personally have owned and taken care of dogs, tropical and freshwater fish, small pets, and cats. I’ve also spent time volunteering at animal shelters and have experience in house-sitting and pet-sitting locally. I’m currently enrolled in evening cosmetology classes 5-10pm Mon-Thurs and work Saturday mornings 8-3. Otherwise I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys spending time with my pets and outside. I have a couple of my own pets so I’d rather not keep other pets at my place for extended periods of time (unless they’re fully up to date on vaccines, shots, and behavioral training), but I’m happy to assist in anyway I can at your house. I can do basic cleaning and of course pet care such as walking, watering, feeding, taking outside, playing, etc.. I can lock the house and leave the key in a predetermined location if needed. I’m happy to follow any house rules, special instructions, and anything extra needed for the pets, including medications or continuing ongoing training.
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”
About: I will take care of your fur baby like they are my own. I have potty trained animals since there were babies. I will make sure they get their exercise and play time in. I have give medicine to pets before. I will be available whenever you need it. I know how it is when you need help and there’s nobody available or care enough to help out. I will definitely work you on my schedule. I will care for them like they are my own. I can easily create train your dog if needed. I have done it with my 2 dogs that I do have since they were babies. Their safety is the most Important thing. And I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 602 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 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.

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.
