âOur first time using Rover was with Denae and we could not speak more highly of our experience with her! She was so communicative, showed up exactly on the schedule we discussed, and gave our fur babies so much love and attention. We felt so confident they were in good hands the entirety of our trip and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!â


âLacy was an amazing sitter. She communicated throughout her stay and actively gave updates on how our cat was doing. She played with him, brushed him, fed him, and gave him all the love as if he was her own cat. We would happily choose Lacy as our sitter again.â

âMelissa is super sweet and was even able to trim my catâs nails with ease. She is very good with cats and eases them into care so theyâre not anxious or afraid. Highly recommended âşď¸â

âFatima is the ABSOLUTE best. She is the five-star, Michelin chef of all Rover sitters. I left for Europe for 10 days, and she took care of my two troublemaker cats like it was so problem. She even lugged my giant Chewy delivery box up three flights of stairs for me (those things are so heavy). She EVEN protected my cats and apartment from unwanted construction work that my landlord was trying to have done while I was gone!!!!!! She followed all of my crazy, stressed cat-mom instructions (haha) and more! She would play with them, brush them, hold the screen door safely shut so they could look outside, and put on TV for them. I could not have asked for a better kitty-caretaker. Fatima is unmatched!!!! :))))â

âLauren was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! đž She helped me out with walks and drop-in visits and took such great care of him while I was away. She kept me updated after each visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Charlie was happy and being well cared for. It was clear Charlie was comfortable with Lauren and enjoyed spending time with her. I really appreciated how reliable, caring, and communicative she was. I would absolutely trust Lauren with Charlie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and loving to care for their fur baby! â¤ď¸đśâ

âJanice was great! She took great care of my kitty and made sure he was fed well and played a bit during her visits. And my request was pretty last minute so I really really appreciate it!â


About: Iâve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. Iâve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if Iâm only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldnât change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. Iâm not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether thatâs my own pets or my clients. Iâd treat them as my own.
âYet again, Molly was phenomenal at taking care of my cat. She goes above and beyond what most sitters would and she is the first one I reach out to when Iâm looking to book a sitter.â

âAshley was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with and arrived promptly for every interaction we had. My kittens loved seeing her. She went above and beyond. Would not hesitate at all to book her again!â

About: I have consistently sat for a variety of pets over the past ten years for over ten families. I have the ability to sit for multiple dogs/cats at once while providing plenty of TLC. My job is to provide plenty of communication, build trust, and to ensure you that your pets are safe and happy in my presence. I also love sending photo updates! I work for the University of Michigan and have the ability to work from home with your pets if desired. I have experience with administering medication for your pets if needed, and can take care of any other needs for your home (including plants, etc.). I currently work for University of Michigan and have the ability to work from home if you would like me to provide extra TLC for your pet! I am a reliable 32-year-old single girl who loves spending her free time caring for animals. I am very attentive and patient to any pet in my presence and love making them feel loved and happy. I have two kitties of my own - Banjo and Daisy! I love to snuggle with them and always make sure their litter boxes are cleaned and they are well fed and cared for. This goes for every other pet I watch as well! I tend to otherâs pets as I would my own because thatâs the kind of person I would want watching over my pets.
About: I love dogs and cats and am always happy to make new furry friends. I grew up with cats and have a dog of my own now. I work remote so I am available all day to pet sit, walk the animal, and even do check ins every few hours. Whatever works best for the owner! I care for them like they are my own. I know the trust I put in others when I leave my animals with them so I would want the owner to have full trust in me!
âWe would use Lindsay again for our drop in needs when travelling. She was a reliable sitter for our two cats Rosie and Totoro. Close by to our home in Ann Arbor. Good communicator throughout. She followed all the directions we left and reached out with any questions along the way.â

âEmily 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.â

âChristina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.â

âJaicyn was a lifesaver! Partner and I were out of town and couldnât check in on our Zenon during extensive power outages and Jaicyn swooped in on *no notice* to make sure Z was doing okay and getting enough food, pets, and attentionâon the *same night* we put in the request. HIGHLY recommend Jaicynâs expertise to anyone.â

âI've rebooked Maeson multiple times, this time for my recently adopted, shy cat. She was patient and let him come to her on his own terms, and he quickly warmed up to her. She sent lots of updates and pictures as always. Maeson is the best!â


âBoth the danes were taken care of while I was gone for the day, really appreciate Skye being so attentive, communicative, and patient with the dogs. Will definitely be having her over again!â

Savannah went above and beyond to take care of my pets and home. As I often do, it was an extended trip, and I trusted Savannah to handle the animals and any contingencies. The pets were happy and everything was in great shape when I got home. She also communicated frequently and clearly, so I always knew what was going on on the home front. Iâll happily ask Savannah to pet sit again in the future.

Lacy was the best with my two cats!! She arrived on time, followed the list of stuff I wanted her to do perfectly (my cats require special feeding instructions), was very communicative before/during/after, and I really enjoyed the pictures she took of my babies! I was also very surprised that my one cat warmed up to her instantly and even smelled her hand on the first introduction - she had a traumatic past and usually takes a few days to warm up to ppl. I definitely recommend Lacy and re-book with her in the future!

Our first time using Rover was with Denae and we could not speak more highly of our experience with her! She was so communicative, showed up exactly on the schedule we discussed, and gave our fur babies so much love and attention. We felt so confident they were in good hands the entirety of our trip and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!

Christine was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure my pets were cared for, especially the 2 elderly ones. While we were gone, I had a family member doing some of the check ins as well, and Christine's care was far superior. It's obvious she cares deeply for animals. I'm so incredibly grateful and I'll be recommending her to everyone!

Matthew was a great catsitter for our weekend trip. He left detailed notes about how our cats were doing while we were gone, what care he did, the state of their litter boxes, etc. and sent great photos for us of our babies to look forward to each day. He was on-time, attentive and kind during our meet-and-greet a few days before we left town. Would definitely recommend & book again!

Christine saved our holiday stepping in very last minute and taking care of our two 5 month old kittens. One of them needed daily medicine and a lot of attention. She brought a calm and caring energy and was very professional and communicative. We are so grateful and would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ypsilanti is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 petâs 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 catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
