“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”
“A very kind and attentive person. She gave my cat her full attention and affection! The daily “card” with the pictures assured me that all was well. And she added a special touch on the last day.”
About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet! I love dogs and cats, and have one cat of my own. :) I currently care for family and friends pets when they are out of town, but would love to add a few more pets to my schedule for boarding/drop-ins or walks. I am responsible & reliable and will treat your pet with much love and care! My current availability is evenings after work and weekends. During the summer months (mid June, July, August) my availability is open and I can provide pet care any time. I will follow all directions and give your pets the same love and care I give my sweet babies at home! I am reliable and respectful of others home & pets. You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
“This was our first time using Jennifer as a cat sitter. She is trustworthy and very caring. She checked in with us after each visit and sent us pictures and notes. She followed all our instructions. We will definitely use Jennifer in the future for when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic drop in dog sitter. Always on time for drop ins and provided great notes and feedback about how he was behaving, eating, going to the bathroom and interacting with her. She also provided some very helpful tips. Can't say enough good things about how she helped with my older and more challenging dog. Will definitely be relying on her for future drop in visits.”
“Courtney was a truly awesome pet sitter. She was very thorough, communicative, and considerate. I really am grateful for the level of care she provided for my cat, Coco. I hate leaving her, but knowing she was getting great care and engagement was really important. Courtney is a real pro and clearly loves animals. I will most definitely ask her to watch Coco when I travel again and would highly recommend her.”
“Brigid was great! She sent pics everyday and was very easy to communicate with while we missed our babies. Our cats have very different personalities, so Brigid keeping us updated on how they were doing with her was awesome. Will use again!”
“Lillian did a great job looking after my two cats (and my outdoor plants!) My cats immediately liked her and were so happy to see her each day, my girl cat is very picky about people but had no problem around Lillian. We had heavy rain while I was out of town and she did a great job caring for my plants and making sure they got enough water but not too much. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I grew up owning dogs, so I understand routines, patience, and consistency. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on providing calm, respectful care tailored to each dog. I work at a hospital and am typically available after work on weekdays. I’m off at 3:30 PM and home by 4:30 PM, making evenings ideal for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. My weekend availability may vary as my work schedule changes. I follow pets’ routines and their care instructions closely, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while respecting their space, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping owners informed.
About: I have cared for animals since I was 14 years old for my family, neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I really enjoy seeing the unique personality of each animal & how they need to feel love and care. I recognize each animal is different in their care and I attend to these details. I typically work 9a-4p Monday through Thursday. So, I am free those days before work, during lunch hour and after work for drop-ins or walks. My weekends are open Friday and Saturday for care. Sundays I typically work 8a-12p. I do not have any pets of my own. When caring for animals at my home, I am able to put dogs on a leash for walks. I keep doors shut to my basement, my bedroom, and outdoors. I adhere to requirements that clients ask of their pets in their own homes.
“This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!”
“Emily was fantastic! She did everything we asked of her. Silvie on the other hand was something to contend with. But, Emily took it in stride. We would recommend Emily to cat owners especially. We really loved getting the snap shots of Silvie everyday. nice bonus.”
“Brittany is a awsome sitter for my cat, would definitely recommend to anyone. She keeps me updated and my cat loves her, she is very dependable and caring for animals. Thank you for all your help .”
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“Megan was excellent! She watched after my extremely shy cat while I was gone on vacation for a week. She sent me daily updates about how my cat was doing, and went the extra mile to make sure he was as comfortable as he could be during his stay away from home.”
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for almost my entire life this including dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with raw feeding, as my family and I do the same for our dogs and cats at home. I addition to both dogs and cats, I have hands on experience caring for different exotic pets such as snakes, tarantulas, frogs and other invertebrates, along with small animals like rats and guinea pigs as well. My dad and I breed snakes and rats, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, habitat care, and handling animals that require specific environments and attention. Because of this background, I’m confident managing different temperaments, routines, and care needs. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. Whether your pet is covered in scales or furr, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I’m currently a student at Wayne State and also work for a catering company, which allows me to maintain a pretty flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of time, attention, and care while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’m always willing to work around what makes them most comfortable! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow any instructions and routines provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has different boundaries, so I’ll give them as much attention or space as they need.
About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….
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. I am currently going to school for my Master's in Business and taking care of my mom, so I will have plenty of time, love, and care for your fur babies! 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. 🐾🐾

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westland
We really appreciate Lynn for taking such good care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats). Lynn is very attentive to their needs -- not just their food and medications, but sitting and being with them. Plus we enjoy the pictures of each pet that she sends after every visit. This was our 8th time with Lynn caring for them. We highly recommend her!
This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy that I booked it with Chelsea, she did a fantastic job. I was nervous being away from them for the first time, but I was so impressed with the care Chelsea gave them, they looked so happy in the pictures playing with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Jaxx and Cheerio, that means the world to me.
Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westland is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
