About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little with my own dogs as well as dog sitting family members and others pets as well. I have pet sat for Great Danes as well as small dogs. I’m currently in undergrad at Michigan State and hope to go to school to be in the Veterinary field. I’m currently in Undergrad at Michigan State but I come home on weekends to Grand Rapids when I can. I’m open during the evening as well as weekend in general. I spend time with pets and make sure they get the care they need. I also make sure to play with them and engage them to build trust.
“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.”
“We are so grateful for Cheyenne's care of our cat! We loved getting the reports each day with a photo. Our cat can be a bit feisty and doesn't always warm up to people, but Cheyenne connected with him. Will definitely use Cheyenne again and highly recommend her!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.
“Kimberly did a great job. She was prompt and kept me well informed on how my babies were doing, including photos. I would highly recommend her services and I would definitely schedule her again.”
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!
“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!”
“We have used Morgan three times now and she has been amazing! Our dog is a senior dog with diabetes. She is deaf, blind and insulin dependent and Morgan has been great with her! She has been extremely reliable and responsive. She has also left the house in great shape each time she has stayed over. I have zero complaints.”
About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking any credits during the summer. I do work part-time but I’m back by the late afternoon . I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! There are no other pets in my apartment at this time! I am very attentive and always mindful of safety. If I am hosting a cat generally I will keep the cat in my room with me at all times and I keep the litter box in my bathroom with open access.
“Deborah did a wonderful job with a drop in visit with my older dog, Teddy. He warmed up to her right away. I also appreciate Deborah’s quick responses to texts and her communication while she did her visit. I will definitely book with Deborah again.”
“Experienced, communicative, punctual to a T, and above all compassionate with a very calming energy. She makes a stressful vacation away from your fur babies easy on the owners, and she carefully follows any directions you give her. I have an anxious shy cat that takes weeks to stop hiding around new people and sticks to me like super glue- she won him over by day two.”
“Lori did an amazing job taking care of my pets! There was an emergency at my apartment and she notified me right away and even stayed with my pets until everything was okay! She is a wonderful pet sitter and goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are taken care of!”
“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”
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.
“Michael Anthony was wonderful with our dog, Honey Bear. She was very happy and connect when we returned after 7 hours away. Michael stopped by twice which was perfect. We will definitely book another day with Michael Anthony.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Okemos
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!!
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!
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!
My experience with Nicholas was top tier. I came home from a long trip to find that my two cats were well cared for and happy. Nicholas sent photos and updates consistently and gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Nick to anyone who wants someone to go the extra mile with their pet!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Okemos on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Okemos. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
