Miryam is truly an angel with my babies. From our very first meet and greet, I instantly had a good feeling about her especially when my girl cat immediately gravitated toward her. She has an amazing ability to care for all three of my cats, balancing their different personalities. She's playful and engaging while also knowing when to give them their space. As we all know, cats can be particular, but Miryam has always been gentle, attentive, patient, and welcoming with my babies ever since our very first meeting. I will always have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly ◡̈

Chelsea was a great choice for watching over my cat while I was out of town. Chelsea kept frequent contact and assured me throughout the process that my Angel was doing well. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Our pups get so excited when Mary Kay comes to watch them. It can be a drop in our overnight. They are so happy. We know that they are in amazing hands, and we don't need to worry about their care. They are already looking forward to the next time she comes to visit.

Chelsea did an amazing job watching our cats! She had great communication (clear, prompt, kind) both before the booking and during the drop in visits, which was very appreciated! One of our cats is a bit spicy, and the other is super shy, and she did a great job respecting their boundaries while also trying to make sure they were comfy. She clearly is very familiar with cats and has a lot of experience with them. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!

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!!

About: I have many years of experience with caring for a variety of animals. I have owned 4 dogs (A boxer mix, spaniel mix, and German shepherds), a bearded dragon, and a cat. I have cared for small breeds all the way to extra large breeds. I am comfortable with handling medications and providing any other care necessary for your pet. I am completely free on weekends to take care of your pet. During the week, I am available early in the morning and in the evening because I work as a school teacher. I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the comfort of their own home. Whether your dog is needing to get energy out or relax in their favorite spot, I will be there to ensure that they are comfortable.

About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.

Caitie was excellent. She provided me with excellent updates with a photo on how my little poodle was doing as she completed her visits. She was very thoughtful with getting to know my little dog, who is cautious around new people. I will be having Caitie back next month!

Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - River Rouge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,956 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across River Rouge. 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 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 River Rouge. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
