About: I’m a senior Animal Science student with hands-on experience caring for many species through working at multiple farms, including in management roles. I’ve cared for animals with different needs and personalities and have also shadowed at veterinary clinics. I have two cats of my own and regularly cat sit for friends and family. I’m responsible, attentive, and truly love working with animals! My weekends are usually free, so I’m very flexible for pet sitting and visits on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I have classes, but I’m generally available around my class schedule and can work with you to find a time that works. I take pet care seriously and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you provide.
“Lori is our go-to sitter for our cats and our cats feel really comfortable around her. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and we enjoyed the updates, but really enjoyed that we didn't have to worry about our cats because we knew Lori was taking care of them.”
About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.

I am respectful of my client's home and always down for staying in and playing/relaxing with your pet or going out for walks. I also have a car and can take them to the nearest dog park or on an adventure!
“Jessa was an amazing sitter for my cat, Muzzy! She was very attentive to her needs and would update me regularly which I really appreciated. Muzzy grew very fond of Jessa over the week, despite being on the shy-er side sometimes. I would highly recommend Jessa to anyone in need of a cat sitter!”

About: I work as a dog bather with lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve watched my neighbors cats and dogs when they are out of town since I was 13, and love watching them and taking them for walks. I also own a super energetic puggle named Cy :) I’m currently a student at Michigan State University, so as long as it aligns with my class schedule I can provide house sitting, walks, and drop-ins, I’m pretty flexible! I would let the dogs out and take them for walks, ensure proper food and water is out at all times, and take care of the litter box for cats.

“Erica was great! She watched over my shy cat at her house for about 10 days while I was out of town. One of my cat’s toys was accidentally broken, and Erica thoughtfully offered to replace it! I will likely try to see if she’s available the next time I’m out of town.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Okemos
Isabella was so kind to our cats and attentive to all the details of their care. She was on time every time and communicated frequently about any variations in time as well as how the cats were doing. I would definitely recommend her to take good care of your pets!
Emily is absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and so understanding with taking care of my cat who was going through some GI issues and needed medication while I was away. Emily’s a rockstar and the absolute best. I was and am so so grateful to her and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!
This is our second time booking Leti and I would highly recommend her for drop ins and house sitting. She is very patient and loving to our animals! Leti followed care instructions carefully and also provided many pictures to keep us in the loop. Highly recommend.
Amanda was amazing with Dave! It was my first time leaving him alone for an extended period of time and she made sure to give him the love and attention he needed, even coming back an extra session to make sure he was eating and using the litter box! I got the cutest pictures while I was away too
I highly recommend Claire! She’s very considerate, reliable, and very great in communication! Everyday besides refilling food water and cleaning litterbox, she checked on whether my cat Pirate is doing well, paid special attention to his mood, and updated me with photos. I came back with everything in order and a happy kitty. I will not hesitate to rely on her again next time!
We had such a wonderful experience with Christine! She cared for our dog, Winston, and our cat for 7 days with twice-daily visits, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better support while we were away. Christine went above and beyond—she sent photos at every visit, gave Winston extra time on his walks on several days, brought in our mail, and even took out our trash. It meant so much to us to know our pets (and home) were being cared for so thoughtfully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a clean space, and had complete peace of mind the entire time we were gone. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Amazing sitter! I was nervous because my cat was recently adopted, and a sudden shift in routine could make him regress again. However this was not the case! She played with him twice a day and I can tell went above and beyond! Quick to respond and sent pictures everyday! Highly suggest if you have a cat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Okemos is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 400 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Okemos. 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 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.
