“Camille was very friendly, easy to communicate with, and caring about my two cats. She even watered my plants while I was away. I'd happily recommend Camille and book her again!”
“Hannah is such a delight! She gives great notes and you can tell how much she cares for my animals! She was accommodating to my last min request and I couldn’t be more grateful”
“Autumn did a great job dropping in on our young cat while we were away for 2 nights. This was our first real trip leaving him home, and her updates after each visit we’re so helpful. She even dragged my husband’s golf clubs inside when they showed up 3 days earlier than they were supposed to be delivered ? We will definitely use her service again whenever we have to travel without Zeus.”
About: Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, your dog (s) will receive the same level of care I give my own pets—fresh food and water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. Further, I have experience with administering medicine such as eye drops, ingestible liquids/pills, and shots. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in capable hands. I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! When I was a kid, my family had two dogs along with other animals, providing me with a foundation for loving and caring for pets. Since then, family and friends have trusted me to provide pet care services including pet sitting- feeding, play, and providing overnight company. I have 24 years of experience with small and medium sized dogs. Care for dogs is my only profession, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is safe, welcoming, and open, and my friendly dog loves having dog visitors to play with. Your dog will be free to roam my home- welcome on the furniture- and have plenty of space to run in my large fenced in yard. Additionally, I am located near the heart of Dowtown Royal Oak for dogs who are excited by people and other dogs, as well as several parks with open spaces within walking distance. I currently have a three dog limit for boarding and pet sitting. I’m home full time, so I’m able to provide dogs care with my full attention. Whether morning, afternoon, or night I’m available round the clock to fit you and your pets schedule and needs! I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and pet friendly- with large areas to roam or smaller gated spaces ideal for dogs who prefer time alone, are shy, or being newly socialized. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance! Further, my dog Bernie is an excellent playmate for all dogs I care for.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our kitties! We came home to happy and healthy kitties, everything was well taken care of and the updates and photos were great. Would absolutely book again! 😊”
“Emily was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats while we were out of the country. One of our cats is very social, while the other is extremely shy, and Emily was great about respecting their different personalities and needs. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel comfortable knowing our cats were in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would happily book her again!”
“Abby is excellent—caring, diligent, professional, & responsible. Wonderful with both cats & dogs. She boarded my cat for six days, & I felt I was leaving him in expert hands. I’ll gladly use her again!”
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 10 years! I’ve taken care of my 3 poodles for the past 10 years and recently became a new cat mom! I’ve also boarded pets for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding and potty routines, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am fully available to fit caring for pets anywhere in my schedule! I will do my best to be flexible and accommodating! I can work all hours of the day! I have 2 cats of my own who are provided with all of their necessities and most importantly an environment where they can be free to explore safely and play constantly! I care for my cats like they are my children! And I will do the same for yours.
“Sydney was wonderful to have watch my cat! She was super prompt with visiting on the scheduled times, and she sent such good updates and cute photos. I could tell she also gave my cat so much love while I was gone. Sydney was also sweet enough to water my outdoor flowers everyday, which I was so appreciative of. I will definitely request Sydney to cat sit again in the future.”
“Audrey was responsible, communicative, and always sent a note with photos of all the cats when she visited. She also played with the more active ones. Thanks! I will be using her services again in the future.”
“Lauren does a great job caring for Eva & Luna & now has a +++ relationship with them after house sitting multiple times. It has given us peace of mind in travelling knowing (via her excellent communication) & seeing (photos, etc) that they are happy & doing well. We also appreciate how well she takes care of our home & plants.”
“Hannah is an incredible sitter. She is punctual, trustworthy and put my mind to ease by sending pics of the pup during her time with them. Best of all was coming home to 2 tired and happy dogs.”
“Brianna took excellent care of our three cats during a recent vacation. She was great about sending photos, and spent longer than expected with our fur babies. We will be utilizing her services again!”
“Veronica was pleasantly easy to work with. Followed all instructions, my house clean the way I left it and my cat very calm when I got home. Responsive, sent the perfect amount of pictures. Will book again.”
About: I’ve had pets growing up and continue to be around animals to this day, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and the time to provide attentive, consistent care. I’m comfortable with energetic young pets as well as seniors who may need a slower pace or extra support. I prioritize routine, patience, and clear communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Sara does a great job watching my cat. She always sends pictures of my cat and keeps me updated on how he’s doing. My cat always looks content... thanks Sara for treating him like your own pet!”
“From the moment I met Ashley during her visit before we left for our trip, I had no doubt that they were attentive, kind and detailed. I had no hesitation leaving our kitty in her care. They came every morning on time and if something came up, even gave us a heads up that they might be a smidge late. So so grateful for their compassion and love towards our lil fur all. Would not hesitate to book with them again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Oak
She’s just outstanding! I have dogs with various medical needs and she makes sure that medications are given in time, helps with ambulation, makes sure both dogs have done their business and gives lots of attention and affection while I’m away. And is also seeing to the needs of my three cats, too! She’s got a lot to take care of every time she comes over to my house and I know everything will be taken care of. I highly recommend her! 😀
Myranda was great with my cat! She dropped in twice a day for a week and was able to feed/fill water, take care of the litter boxes, and add in some company with her while I was away. I would definitely rebook with her for any future appointments I would need!
My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.
Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!

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 .

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.
