“Kelly is the best! She is extremely thorough with her check-ins, and my very shy cat absolutely loves her. Whenever I have the chance to book Kelly, I know she will take care of my pet like her own.”
“My dog is a bit of a challenge. He is really timid, and it takes him time to get used to people. Rani won him over quickly and took good care of him. Her communication was great, and she gave a lot of details about each of her visits. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Jamie takes such good care of our kitty when we are away, including ensuring she gets all of her meds - no easy task! Jamie is proactive, accomodating, reliable, and has the right touch with our kitty. I can recommend!”
“We felt very comfortable with Jessi! Our first time booking her, and she took excellent care of our dog. Quick to communicate and sent detailed updates, which was much appreciated!”
“Jennifer not only braved a torrential downpour to make it to our initial meet & greet but *also* provided some excellent action shots of her and Zenon’s drop-in visit. Our girl was well taken care of and we’ll know who ask next time we want the best for her.”
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad Marla was our first experience. Marla got my cats to interact with her on the first visit! I was able to have peace of mind while away, and I’m super grateful for her. Thanks so much!!”
“We were very pleased with Christine (and Brad) for taking such good care of Freddie while we were gone away on vacation. Christine kept in very good contact with us and kept us apprised each day of how Freddie was doing and what he was doing and sent pics to us each time. Not only did she take excellent care of Freddie, but she also vaccumed the rug of excess cat hair, as he is a long-haired cat, and she didn't want us to come home to clumps of cat fur on the carpet. Additionally, she also watered our plants and brought in our mail daily. We would definitely recommend her (them) to other pet owners and we appreciate everything they did for Freddie and us.”
“Molly was a great resource and took great care of my boy. Even clipped his nails for me (he won’t even let me do that!) I’ll definitely be looking for Molly next time I book! Thanks again!”
“We could not have asked for a better person to care for our pets. Carissa has been with our family since Finnie (our golden retriever puppy) was just a few months old, and over that time she played an incredibly meaningful role in his growth and development. She went far beyond basic care — helping reinforce potty training and foundational commands like sit, stay, lay down, and shake, while also teaching him fun skills like high fives, dancing, and running between our legs. Caring for a young, energetic, large dog isn’t always easy, and Carissa handled every phase with patience, consistency, and genuine love — even on Finnie’s tougher days. She was a steady, trusted presence in his life, and we always knew he was safe, cared for, and understood when he was with her. She was also wonderful with our cat, Walter, always checking in on him during visits and even bringing in our packages — thoughtful touches that truly showed how much care she put into our home as a whole. Communication was always clear and kind, and it was obvious she treated our pets as if they were her own. We are endlessly grateful for everything Carissa has done for our family, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Any pet would be incredibly lucky to be in her care.”
“Silvia is the best!!! She met with my three cats a couple days before so I could introduce them and show her around. She came at the same time everyday, and was sooo great!! She sent lots and lots of pictures and was absolutely amazing with communication. I felt completely at ease entrusting her with the care of my furry family members. She even captured the trust of my skiddish cat who doesn’t usually warm up to strangers. She is very trustworthy and absolutely the type of person you want pet sitting your animals :) Will absolutely book again!”
“Lacy is so friendly and very responsive! She reached out when there were questions too. My cats were happy and fed while we were away for a trip. We even got lots of photos during the visits! Would definitely have her watch my pets again.”
“Christina 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.”
“Katharyn was great. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She took care of the essentials and played and petted Humphrey. I hope she can come back!”
“Peace of mind is what Jenna provided us! We are first time Rover users. Jenna was all business with a huge side of kindness!! She fought the awful elements here in Michigan...we were gone during the extreme cold so we are extra appreciative! She even washed out the food containers I had prepared our dog's food in, as well as the fun lick pad we use for our cat! I honestly didn't expect that because I am lazy and leaving them soaking for a week! Hahaha Also, being that we were gone for 7 days (they are used to me being home everyday) I appreciated the pictures of Piper and Archer cuddling with Jenna! Tells me all I need to know! Jenna will be our future extended fam!”
“I am so glad Maeson was available to take care of my cat! She had excellent communication and was patient with my very shy cat. She takes so many pics and leaves a very detailed report of what your pet has been up to, which is always fun to read.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ypsilanti
She was so sweet! Easy to communicate with, took all my concerns about having a sitter very seriously and helped me feel good about leaving my buddies with her, and the buddies LOVED her! My cats are usually really antisocial, but they came out and cuddled her, and my dog was happy too.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ypsilanti on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,579 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 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.

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.
