“Kristy really helped us out last minute when we needed someone to take care of our cat for a short trip. She is extremely attentive to our cat’s feeding arrangements, and made sure he got the proper food and water intake due to his condition. She was flexible with our schedule, communicative on a daily basis, and punctual to our meet and greet. I would absolutely request Kristy’s availability for all our future pet-sitting needs and would recommend her to any of our friends and family.”
“Came at time requested every morning! Kept me in the loop with any concerns/questions he had. My three cats and fish were well taken care of when we were on our trip! Will for sure be booking again.”
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
“Lori did an amazing job watching my pets! She always gave prompt updates and took tons of photos. My pets have a complicated dinner routine and she did a great job following the directions and making sure everyone got exactly what they needed. I highly recommend her to watch your pets!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I always had cats and dogs growing up, and as I got older I ended up caring for lizards, fish, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more! I work a very flexible full time job, and work from home when I want to, so I am very flexible! I am able to leave work and come back whenever if I am in office (besides the occasional meetings). I am willing to come to anyone’s home to care for any pets. I am pretty adaptable! I have (unfortunate) experience with dealing with unexpected events such as skunk encounters.
“Christine took very good care of Cinco. Cinco is an elderly cat, who has special needs. Christine was very good to him. She sent me photos and videos throughout his stay, showing how happy he was. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker/sitter for your pet.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. Family and friends have never hesitated to trust me as their dog sitter! I’m able to work with any dog or cat, whether that be puppies and kittens or your senior animal! I’m currently earning my master’s degree in Athletic Training, so I pet sit while I complete my program. My schedule is pretty open and flexible, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I keep my Rover calendar updated and communicate clearly about my availability so you always know when I’m available to help. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment with my fiancé, our dog, and two cats. Safety is always my top priority, so introductions to our pets are done slowly and only if everyone is comfortable. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I provide a calm, supervised environment where they can feel safe and at home.
“Lizz came by twice a day to take care of our three cats while we were away. One of our cats needed a daily inhaler, and she handled it wonderfully. The cats loved playing with Lizz, and having her there gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
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.
About: I am passionate for cats! When I moved to US I brought my 2 Brazilians cat with me in the plan 🩷 There is nothing that can make my day better than smells some fluffy belly’s ☺️ I’m not working any other job at the moment, so you can count on me to dedicate quality time to your fur baby! I love cats and I will love have the opportunity to help you! I can visit your pet in your house more than one time per day, but unfortunately I can’t have other animals in my place because of my cats.
About: I have years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, and I’m confident handling daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, and basic care. I’m detail‑oriented and make sure your dog’s space stays clean, comfortable, and stress‑free. I’m naturally soft‑spoken with animals and take my time to help them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. I love interactive play, gentle training reinforcement, and giving plenty of affection to pups who enjoy cuddles. My goal is always to create a calm, secure environment where your dog can feel happy and supported while you’re away. Book with me today! I’m available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM for walks, drop‑ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and comfort care. Whether your pet needs a quick check‑in or a longer visit, I’m happy to work within these hours to keep them safe, relaxed, and happy. I follow your pet’s normal routine and keep things consistent so they feel comfortable in their own space. I handle feeding, walks, litter box care, and clean‑up exactly as instructed, and I pay close attention to any notes you leave about habits or preferences. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your home stays tidy and your pet stays relaxed until you’re back.
About: Not only have I taken care of my own and others pets for many years, but I have also worked at a vet hospital/boarding facility for 2.5 years. I have also trained my own dog to be a therapy dog, and taken him to many service events! I have the knowledge, responsibility, and passion for providing your loved one with the right care! Im currently a full time student, so I am available Tuesday - Thursday after 5pm and weekends (Friday - Monday) all day. Early mornings work as well. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respected, with regular updates so you can feel at ease.
“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 have dogs since I was very little. I have also participated in the training of my dogs and always love to use positive reinforcement to make pets their best selves! I'm currently working for myself with Doordash and Rover. My schedule is completely flexible and I am open to last minute bookings if messaged directly. 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!
About: Hello! I am a student going to school for dental hygiene. I have loved animals ever since I was young and very quickly became my family’s go to pet sitter. I love meeting new pets and helping care for them. I have many years of experience and even have a handful of recurring clients. However, I just moved so I am looking for new clients, whether that’s as needed or reoccurring. I have taken classes in animal first aid, behavior, medication administration and other helpful courses as I was originally interested in veterinary medicine. I grew up around large dogs and I even have one of my own. I am very comfortable around any size/breed and look forward to meeting them! I’m currently a student and working part-time as a server, so my hours are pretty flexible with notice. My shifts are usually not longer than 6 hours, so even if I do work, I have time before or after. I will respect clients rules for their pet and meet all expectations. Keeping the pet safe and happy is most important to me! I will treat you’re pet like my own!
“Jessica did an excellent job looking after my cat while I was gone! She came to my house twice per day to feed my cat, clean her litter, etc. Jessica was thoughtful and gave my cat some new toys for Christmas! While I was gone, Jessica gave me updates each day on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book with her again!”
“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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
