“Emily is very professional on time. Great with animals and overall a very kind person. I would recommend her to anyone when she’s in the area. I will be going through her again. Thank you, Emily.”
“Cheyenne was wonderful with my puppy! I could tell my dog loved her and enjoyed playing with her during check ins. She also went above and beyond after we had a small mishap with the house key. She came back after she couldn’t get in even after the set time to let my dog out. She has wonderful energy and I can’t wait to book again!”
“My partner and I booked Lori to check on our cats while we were out of town for the day and we loved getting the pictures and hearing how our shyest cat has warmed up to her. We can't give Lori enough praise for how amazing she is with our cats and we know they're in good hands when we travel.”
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.
“Isabella was so kind to our cats and attentive to all the details of their care. She was on time every time and communicated frequently about any variations in time as well as how the cats were doing. I would definitely recommend her to take good care of your pets!”
“Elizabeth is great, always caring and attentive! This is the second time she’s watched my cat, it feels great to have a sitter I know I can trust when I’m out of town.”
“Kennedy took great care of our cats while we were away. I appreciated that she could give medication! She spent time with the cats and made sure all their needs were met. We would for sure book with Kennedy again!”
About: I have been taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently coaching in Howell. Practice is mornings 7-9 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Games are on Wednesday in the evening and Saturday afternoon. I volunteer with a Soccer club in Lansing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.
“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: Not only have I taken care of my own and others pets for many years, but I have also worked at a vet hospital/boarding facility for 2.5 years. I have also trained my own dog to be a therapy dog, and taken him to many service events! I have the knowledge, responsibility, and passion for providing your loved one with the right care! Im currently a full time student, so I am available Tuesday - Thursday after 5pm and weekends (Friday - Monday) all day. Early mornings work as well. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respected, with regular updates so you can feel at ease.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat girl my whole life. From learning patience with young dogs at the age of 5 weeks old, to attending to a 14 -year-old dog, I have open-handedly experienced what it is like dealing with dogs of all ages. I have also dealt with the sassy teenager phase from both dogs and cats. When they are bored, they will make it known. The biggest take I have learned from taking care of dogs and cats is that they won’t always be on your timeline. You have to be extremely patient and take time to train them and be there for them. I’m currently looking for a part-time job, and I am going to school but I mainly take online classes, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. My schedule is pretty much free besides Wednesdays but if I’m boarding I am available. I have a fenced in mini pet park next to my apartment. Your furry companion will get all of the exercise he/she needs! My apartment is very cozy and safe, only smaller pets are allowed so there won’t be any issue with other pet owner neighbors.
About: I've taken care of animals professionally for approximately 8 years. This includes in house sits, dog walks (including multiple dogs and large dogs), boarding, and training. I am currently working towards my dog training certification! I also have some knowledge in animal nutrition and grooming. I have had multiple years of experience using positive reinforcement methods to train dogs from puppy to senior! I have also taken care of cats and multiple varieties of small animals. Pet care is my passion and full time position in my lifestyle. I love making new furry friends!! I have my own pet as well, and my life revolves around her. I have open availability! I will make sure all basic needs are met (food, water, potty, enrichment) and will go above and beyond to clean your pet's space, and maybe do some training or learn fun tricks!

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 Shaftsburg. On Rover:

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.
