“Summer has been absolutely amazing with Dutch. Have nothing but good things to say and her report cards are thorough and leave me with a good feeling leaving my pup in her care!!”
“She was amazing with my dog who gets stressed if I'm away long. He wasn't feeling well towards end and she contacted me right away and made sure he was OK and kept me updated until I could get home. I highly recommend her for great care and service and peace of mind.”
“Bradley took great care of my Griffen. Although, Griffen was happy to see me, he would have been happy to see Bradley. It was nice to go away for a few days and not have to worry about Griffen.”
“Ashlee has done a fantastic job caring for my cat Smokey. He is full spirited when I get home from travel, which tells me he is getting a level of attention from Ashlee that others have not given in the past. Ashlee was also able to accommodate the addition of a day in the middle of my travels. Thank you, Ashlee!”
About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“This was our first time having someone help with our dog since his diabetes diagnosis, and we were a little nervous, but Maegan was incredible. She was willing to learn and felt comfortable giving Oscar his insulin shot, which meant so much to us. It gave us the rare chance to enjoy a night out without rushing home for his 7:30 routine. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her again. Thank you, Maegan!”
“Hanna was the best! She was so attentive to all their needs and waited to come around the rain so it was easier for the dogs. She communicated quickly and often. The pictures were plenty and also so adorable. I don’t trust many people and I feel very comfortable with Hanna now. Will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.
About: I have taken care of dogs since my first dog “Beau” when I was 8 years of age. I’ve since had two beautiful adopted puppies. I look forward to training or assisting with any dog. I can assist with cats as well. My fiancé recently adopted a kitten, and the kitten then adopted me. I am available anytime to take care of your loved pet. I have reliable transportation and will be able to adjust to any schedule needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do walk to the beach every day. I also have a carriage that I walk my kitten in if that is needed.
“My dog instantly liked Michelle and wanted her to be his new best friend. Michelle was a pleasure to meet and has such a positive and caring attitude and energy, also very thoughtful considering it was raining and my dog got muddy and she texted me about where she should get a towel to wipe him down. I received pictures of my dog throughout the day and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog.”
“Thomye took great care of our IzBiz while we were away. Being a senior pup, it's hard to uproot them just for a night away. Thomye was absolutely perfect with her. She took time to play and even hand fed her to ensure she ate her food. Thomye took all the extra time and care and we are forever grateful that we found her. She will definitely be our go-to when we need someone for our old lady.”
“We had a meet & greet at my home before the needed drop in. I felt reassured that I had chosen a reliable, kind to pets gal. Emilia communicated back quickly, sent photo's & message. I plan on having her return when a future need for sitter or drop in comes.”
“Rachel was wonderful. She was available on very short notice, introduced herself, and most importantly, my cat was fully satisfied in all needs - especially attention. Rachel promptly returned the keys. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I've watched and owned not only a German Shepherd for over 15 years, but also cared for exotic animals, such as F1 Savannahs throughout the duration of my life. I just recently retired from the Army summer of 2023. I'm kind of bored and would love to keep myself busy doing something I love. I own a single family home with a small backyard that your fur baby can have access to. With less than a mile if requested I can walk your dog to the dog park.
About: I’ve trained and taken care of my own dogs including becoming a therapy dog team with my current dog, Jonas. I love “reading” dogs and responding to their needs. I dog sit in my home and also offer dog sitting services to guests at my Airbnb on-site. Currently I am using a walker and am awaiting hip replacement surgery. As part of my schedule of care, I do two walks per day and I practice training after each exercise session. I offer lots of variety in activities and it’s a safe place to have fun and play! I have two doggy doors and a fenced in dog yard. I have crates, many play and relaxing areas, and many toys to enjoy. Depending on the mix of dogs, I cater to your way of feeding, needs for training, etc.
“Incredibly friendly and asked all the right questions. Took expert care of our pets and sent really cute photos that were above and beyond the usual "See? Your pet's not dead" pics. Will continue to use him as long as he'll let us!”
About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was seven. Trust me to provide expert care and companionship for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time. My Sunday and Mondays are always open and the rest of the week I am available after 2pm. I can also be very flexible if given early notice. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. All instructions given to me will be strictly adhered to. My top priority is making sure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout each service.
About: I have three dogs at home including two labs and a mutt; I love feeding, walking, and cuddling them! I would love to do the same for your dogs! I’m currently working a part time job, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I’m free almost every day! I personally have a fenced in backyard, which allows me to keep an eye on your babies! Plus, I have my own friendly dogs that would love to play.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Joseph
Emma visited our two cats while we were away and did a wonderful job. Her updates kept us informed and the photos she shared were cute. I especially appreciated that she kept the cat’s eating areas tidy, and that she cleaned the cat food cans so we didn’t come back to a smelly trash can!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Joseph on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 Saint Joseph. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
