“Zoe is such a great sitter! She absolutely treats my kittens with so much love and respect. She’s available for last minute sittings and sends sooo many pictures! I love working with Zoe and will continue to book with her.”
“Samantha was fantastic! She ensured my cat took her daily medication and communicated everything that was happening while I was gone. She also kept me updated with pictures of all of my cats instead of just the one she was there to take care of 🤩”
“Danielle came through at the last minute for me and was extremely kind / sent lots of photos and left the place exactly how I left it. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter !”

About: Hi my name is Danielle and I would love to watch your furry friend for you while you are at work, school, etc. I'm a dog groomer, I've worked at an animal hospital, PetSmart , activity centers as a midnight animal caretaker and I've had experiences dealing with special needs dogs and seniors, I know warning signs of seizures and I'm very alert. I've been surrounded by dogs all my life and i love them so much, I find being around dogs to be very therapeutic for me and it helps them as well. I'm also into professional photography so get ready for a lot of pics of your pets. I'm not quite ready to stop doing services for my furry friends . I look forward to meeting you and your pal:) Rover is my main priority right now, so I have open availability to care for your fur babies. I usually need a heads-up for booking purposes, but message me, and maybe we can make arrangements for a visit sooner. I'm always on high alert when it comes to watching your furry friends, especially when it comes to dog-aggressive pets when we're outside. I also believe safety is super important to me.
“Sydney was absolutely fabulous! Great community, made me feel very comfortable, treated my fur babies like her own and did a top notch job. I will absolutely book Sydney every time! Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets through sitting for family and friends. I’ve handled feeding schedules, playtime, overnight care, and providing companionship tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and personalities, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication so both pets and owners feel at ease. I work full time, but I’m available on my days off and weekends for pet care. I love animals, and this is a great way for me to spend my free time while providing reliable, loving care. Safety and trust are very important to me. In my own home, I make sure my dog has a clean, comfortable, and safe environment, and I would treat your pet with that same level of care. In your home, I will respect your space and follow all instructions closely to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free.
“All we can say is...AMAZING! Sarah cared for our senior dog, Murphy, while we were out of town. It was our first time leaving him with somebody other than family. He was comfortable, cared for, and given a lot of attention. She administered medicine to him, walked him, and treated him like her own pet. She send us detailed feedback and pictures at each visit. We highly recommend Sarah and will be a repeat client!”
“Kareema is a very warm and welcoming young lady who was able to take my kitties on fairly short notice. She gave me updates and pictures of my happy kitties which helped my anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. My cats were happy and very well attended to under her care. When the time comes that I ever need to have my pets taken care of again, Kareema is my 1st choice. Thank you so much Kareema, Mr. Pickles, Chi-chi Michi, and we appreciate you 😊”
About: I adopted my dog, Leia, in 2018, and my cat, Scourge, in 2020. Leia has had her share of health issues so I am familiar with administering medication, specialized diets, etc. I also previously had guinea pigs. 🐹 I am excited to get to know your pets! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am only available on the weekends. But during the summer, I am available any day or time, pretty much! We have a large unfenced yard. So I will keep your pet leashed while outside. Our neighborhood is also perfect for long walks. We have pet gates throughout our home
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.
About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
“Awesome as always, handles multiple medications for my cat with renal disease and the very different feeding set ups for my two cats perfectly. And she has managed to win over one of my shy cats who now snuggles with her 😄”
“Carla did a great job watching our three cats. We had a tougher situation needing to separate one from the others but she did an excellent job communicating with us how they were doing and spending time with them!”
About: I think that animals have personalities, feelings, and emotions just like humans do. So when I take care of a furry friend, it's like I'm taking care of a baby. They need a lot of attention and require a lot of care. I like to get to know your fur baby and build a bond with them. I know that leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve-racking but I want you to know that when you leave your dog in my care, that they will be treated with respect and given the best care that I can provide. I am always available and willing to put in the effort it takes. This would help supplement my income and give me the opportunity to spend more time with fur babies of all kinds! I enjoy the company of fur babies, it is very therapeutic. I have plenty of space for fur babies to be comfortable. I love to take my baby on walks and have plenty of play time as well.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling Heights
Book her now because Chamira is wonderful. We asked for 2x daily drop ins over a week to mange 3 cats and each visit was perfect. She sent us pics and notes with every visit.. more like a little story about each of our cats. She gave our diabetic cat his injection twice a day, made sure our littlest one got time at the faucet that she loves to drink out of and even left us some cute printed photos of our crew. Chamira is smart, polite and uses gentle techniques to help your animals get comfortable with someone new in their house. Wrangling cats is impossible but Chamira has it down.
Genie was great, this was our second booking with her and unfortunately we are moving or we would be repeat customers going forward. Great communication, great pet sitting, I even asked my cat if she was good for Genie and my Kiki gave a very enthusiastic meow 😂

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.
