“Chelsea was a perfect fit to check in on my two cats while I was out of town! She took great care of them and the Rover cards are a nice addition to the experience. I will definitely be asking her to come back in the future.”
“Absolutely the best sitter Smokey has ever had. Reguarly brushed him, provided fun notes on most days about how he was doing, and performed little bits of going the extra mile each day. I couldn't recommend Saramae enough! I'm very thankful.”
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
“Nurra was wonderful with my two dogs! I made a last-minute request, and she was kind enough to accommodate it, which I really appreciated. She was professional, polite, and a great communicator throughout the drop-in visits. She even went the extra mile by taking the dogs for a walk. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend Nurra to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. From pigs to dogs, I have taken care of a lot of animals. I started off pet siting for family members and friends and recently started caring through Rover. I love the community on the app and have had so much fun getting to know everyone’s pets. I am currently a full time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I play collegiate softball which has shown me positive time management skills. I work part time as a mobility tech at an hospital and have worked multiple other jobs. Because I only work part time, my schedule is very flexible and open. I have one dog and two cats at home. My dog is full of energy so I am in charge of taking him on walks and outside on the daily. My cats are very low energy and love to sleep. I am able to care for high energy or low energy animals since I have experience with both.
About: I have taken care of just about every type of dog and most cats. I used to work at “Hallidays Pet Resort” in canton MI for years so I have lots of hands on experience. Super exited to meet you and your dog so go ahead and send me a request :) I work overnights so I am available any day from morning-evening, as long as your animal is okay on its own overnight I can do sitting for multiple days in a row I absolutely adore animals. Super experienced in animal safety and caretaking, I can also give medications as long as it is orally administered. I have a pit bull of my own :)
“Caitie was simply amazing with my 2 year old tortie cat Temperance. She needs a lot of play and hang time, Caitie was so attentive and sweet with her. Caitie’s communication was impeccable and the pictures I received were so cute. Thank you!!!”
“Hanan is soooo amazing! She took lots of photos for each visit, gave me detailed updates, and is just generally a really kind person! She was so kind to coordinate handing off my keys and dropping them back off to me at my place. I realllllly appreciated that after a long business trip! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Madeleine was very nice, respectful, and helpful while taking care of my cats. There were a couple of minor hiccups—she arrived late on the first day and spent quite a bit of time on her phone rather than actively playing with the cats—but overall, she provided good care, and everything went well.”
About: I have been helping my parents with their pets for the past 15 years. At the age of 13 I was given my own puppy, which helped me understand the responsibility that it takes to care for animals. I pride myself in being a trustworthy and caring person, who loves to spend time with animals. I currently am in school for nursing so my schedule varies. I try to find free time every week to get outside and move, which is why I am looking for the opportunity to spend time with animals while I do this. I have found that animals tend to respond better to calm and collected persons, so I pride myself on staying calm under pressure. Many of the families that I have pet sit for in the past complimented my patience and caring nature.
“Tiyani was amazing! She was communicative, punctual, and even brought some of my packages inside when she stopped by which was definitely not within the scope of her responsibility but I appreciated it very much! 10/10 recommend, I could tell my cat was happy and had been well cared for when I returned.”
About: I’ve cared for plenty dogs and cats over the years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, distributing medication, potty breaks, and check-ins. I even have my own love baby . I’m very patient, attentive, dependable. I only accept bookings on days when I’m completely available, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I plan my schedule around each booking so your pet receives consistent care, companionship, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and treat your home with the same and or even better respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for almost my entire life this including dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with raw feeding, as my family and I do the same for our dogs and cats at home. I addition to both dogs and cats, I have hands on experience caring for different exotic pets such as snakes, tarantulas, frogs and other invertebrates, along with small animals like rats and guinea pigs as well. My dad and I breed snakes and rats, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, habitat care, and handling animals that require specific environments and attention. Because of this background, I’m confident managing different temperaments, routines, and care needs. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. Whether your pet is covered in scales or furr, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I’m currently a student at Wayne State and also work for a catering company, which allows me to maintain a pretty flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of time, attention, and care while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’m always willing to work around what makes them most comfortable! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow any instructions and routines provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has different boundaries, so I’ll give them as much attention or space as they need.
“Callie was a rockstar, going above and beyond to ensure my cat was happy and comfortable during our absence. She was efficient, flexible, communicative and completely dependable.”
“Peyton provided drop in visits for my elderly Shar Pei for a 10 day vacation. She is priceless. Lots of communication, photos & videos. Yoda loved her. I am sure many times she spent more than the allotted time living on him. She understood & provided for the needs of a senior dog. I definitely recommend Peyton & will call on her again.”
“This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!”
“Both the danes were taken care of while I was gone for the day, really appreciate Skye being so attentive, communicative, and patient with the dogs. Will definitely be having her over again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to both pets and their routines. I don’t just watch your animals—I learn their habits, personalities, and preferences to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience administering oral and topical medications, working with senior pets, and I’m especially thorough when it comes to cleanliness (yes, I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes!). My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are not just looked after, but genuinely cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. I also set aside time for updates to owners, cleaning, and any special care instructions like administering meds or sticking to feeding routines. Caring for animals isn’t just a side task—it’s something I truly prioritize and enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, playtime, and quiet areas for rest. I follow all feeding, exercise, and medication schedules just as you would. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I keep things tidy, stick to your pet’s daily habits, and make sure they’re not just fed and walked—but also mentally stimulated and comforted in your absence. I always keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Keana took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She made sure their litter was clean, bowls were full, fresh water was always available, and that they had plenty of play and socialization time. She was communicative and sent great photos and videos as updates. We are so grateful for her for all the hard work and would absolutely recommend! Thank you Keana!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Melvindale is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $35 per visit.

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 .

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.
