“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!”

“Lacy 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.”

“Fatima 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!!!! :))))”

“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! 🐾 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! ❤️🐶”

About: I’ve 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. I’ve 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 I’m 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 wouldn’t 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. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.

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 other’s pets as I would my own because that’s 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!

Partner and I were out of town and couldn’t 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 attention—on the *same night* we put in the request. HIGHLY recommend Jaicyn’s expertise to anyone.”

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. I’ll 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!

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ypsilanti

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 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.

As of November 2026, there are 496 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ypsilanti. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ypsilanti. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

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.
