“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.”
About: I have about one year of experience caring for dogs and have spent time looking after dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m calm, patient, affectionate, and attentive to their needs. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping them company. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routine to make sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends and have plenty of time to give your cat the care and attention they need. I’m happy to work around their usual feeding, playtime, and care routine. I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own space. I follow their usual feeding and litter box routines, keep their area clean, and give them plenty of attention and playtime. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats and let them come to me at their own pace. I also make sure doors and windows are secure and follow any special instructions from their owner.
“Izzy did a great job taking care of our three cats. She was extremely conscientious and was very sensitive to the cats issues especially since we were introducing two new cats into our one cat household and it was not the easiest dynamic. She was very attentive to the situation and the cats were doing well upon our return. She was very tuned into the directions about their food and litter and personalities. Izzy stayed at our home and everything was in perfect order upon our return. Izzy was very thoughtful and sending us pictures, videos, and updates. We will certainly turn to her again the next time we need pet sitting/housesitting.”
“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!”
“Gabrielle did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! One of them does not warm up easily to people but within a few days, I got videos of her going right up to Gabrielle for pets which tells me everything I need to know. We will absolutely be using her again.”
“Destiny was so wonderful and helpful with our dog Bella. She gave her lots of luv and playtime. Destiny is a great dog sitter with very good communication. We received text updates and pictures. She stopped in twice, while we’re gone all day, and really spent quality time with our girl. Thank you Destiny. We really appreciated your help.”
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.
“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.”
“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’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.

About: My commitment to providing the highest level of care, combined with my love for animals, ensures that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away.

Anytime or anyplace, I am here for you and your babies! By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾
About: I’ve had cats my entire life & have been specifically cat-sitting on the side for the last few years. I’ve dealt with all ages & breeds as well as a range of temperaments so I can handle even the sassiest of fur babies. From feeding to grooming to any special treatment, I’m available to provide almost any care your pet requires! 😼 I run my own clothing business, so I work completely from home. This allows me to be completely flexible with my schedule so I’m available to provide pet care when needed. The visit can be as simple as a few minutes to a couple hours if extra care is required! I understand how stressful it is having to leave your pet; I’ll always be willing to provide written updates, photos, & be up for any special treatment they need! Whether it’s just a feeding to a full on routine, the more communication between us — the better! 🫶
“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.”
“I was very nervous leaving my cat with someone else for the first time. Jordyn made sure she was comfortable and happy! Jordyn sent many updates with them playing! She is a very sweet person and with do great with your furry friends! If I could give her 10 stars I would!”
“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!”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,942 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 .
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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
