“Katie and Travis were fantastic with our small, old, special-needs dog! Katie is communicative and was clearly attentive to our dog's needs. We will definitely use her again!”
“I have no words to express the gratitude I have for Daniel. He stayed with my dog I loved so much for 3 weeks and he was very affectionate with her. She was a puppy of almost 18 years and he was the only one who was willing to keep her. Unfortunately, she left the day before my return, and Daniel took care of her and assisted her on her departure. Extremely considerate, he resolved the situation before he could even speak to us. We met with tears in our eyes. Very dear, felt the loss so much. I recommend and will always recommend him. Excellent person, excellent with animals and excellent caretaker of dogs.”
“Ariana took excellent care of our girl. She clearly really understands and cares for dogs and was very attentive to our girl's needs. excellent communication and lots of great photos too!”
“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”
“Jane was great. She was exceedingly patient and understanding with our challenging dog who is very slow to warm to new people. Very communicative and asked all the right questions to make sure everyone was at ease. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years - two cocker spaniels and a patterdale terrier. I’ve also done housesitting and dog sitting for friends and family. I really love getting to know a dog’s individual spirit / personality - and I’m fascinated by how our two species can connect. My wife and I work from home with generally flexible schedules / meetings not longer than 90 minutes. We like to stay active by walking and running and would love to have a pup along! We have a fenced yard and can accommodate a crate if provided. We’re happy to have well-behaved dogs with us in the office while we’re working!
“Erin and her husband are total professionals. You can tell they love dogs, and my puppy seemed to have a fantastic time staying at their home. We received lots of pictures and came back to a relaxed but exhausted dog. We’ll certainly be booking again!”
“Ginsberg had a great time while we were gone. Teresa made her a part of the family letting her warm up at her own pace. She loved hanging out in the huge backyard with friends and lounging on the couch watching household activities and sleeping. Highly recommend Teresa. She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.”
“We were so pleased with Jen and her husbands care and affection for our dogs! They loved on our 2 mastiffs for 5 days while we were out of town. She kept in touch with pictures and updates and gave my husband peace of mind knowing the dogs were never alone. We would most definitely book again with them. We appreciate you both so much! The drive to you was so worth it?”
“Natiely is a loving and compassionate person. She was incredibly conscientious and caring with my senior dog, Toby. She closely monitored his adjustment and responded appropriately, often putting techniques she had learned into practice to help Toby feel more comfortable and build trust with her. Her attentiveness and patience allowed Toby to relax and feel at ease much more quickly than usual, which, in turn, gave me tremendous peace of mind. I truly appreciated the care and understanding she showed toward him.”

“Shannon was great with our energetic Husky pup and super flexible about our weird drop offs and pick up arrangements. She even had a crate our dog could use so we didn’t have to lug ours there and was super patient in trying to track down a missing toy.”
“Donta took great care for Zoe. He gave her the exercise she needed and kept her happy and healthy. He has a great positive attitude even with dogs that are hyperactive / high energy. I recommend him to take care of your pup.”

Everything went smoothly! This was our first time using Andrew and we were very pleased! We already have our next stay booked! Andrew was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times, gave our cattle dog his meds and had a very welcoming home. All in all a great experience!
Jane and her sweet dog Bowser were great for Piper. We received all of the photos and videos I could have asked for, and Bowser patiently put up with all of Piper's puppy energy. Jane is also very patient, and she communicated any questions or concerns with us so we could help with separation issues. This was very reassuring. Thank you, Jane! We hope to be back in the future!
This was our second time working with Michael for another boarding stay with him in his home. He was caring, reliable and attentive to our dog's needs. He treated our dog like his own, providing lots of love, attention and care. Communication was excellent and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur baby was being so well cared for. He provided feedback and sent photos of our dog on a daily basis, and we could tell from our dog's smiling face that she was in good hands. Our dog is also taking daily prescription eye drops due a condition she has and Michael had no issues with administering those eye drops each morning. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their dog. Thank you again, Michael!
Daniel is one of the kindest and most caring sitters that we ever had for our dog. He updated us with pictures and messages and even spoon-fed my dog in the morning to encourage him to eat!!! Also they have the sweetest and most friendly little dogs to be your dog's playmates!!!
Katie was amazing taking care of Nelle overnight. Nelle is diabetic so she requires some extra care and Katie and her husband handled it so well. Nelle had a wonderful sleepover and I felt confident and comfortable having her stay with Katie. I would absolutely have Katie watch my pup again. Her house is safe and comfortable for dogs and she is a great listener and cared for Nelle like I do. Thanks so much Katie!!
Mochi had a wonderful experience with Suraj and his family. He was kind, caring, and loving towards my dog. She seemed happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention he gave her and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Kelsey took amazing care of Charlie again! I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s with her. She sends great updates and pictures, gives him plenty of love and attention, and treats him like one of her own. Charlie is always happy and well cared for when I pick him up. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust—thank you again, Kelsey!
Prior to leaving Daisy during a two-week trip, I left Daisy with Chris for an overnight. When my wife and I dropped her off for the long stay Daisy was so excited to be back with Chris and Brady. That gave us total confidence that Daisy was in good hands. When we picked her up Daisy was happy, looked great and well cared for. We received photos and comments during her stay. Chris was a great dog sitter and has my recommendation.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Ypsilanti can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ypsilanti home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ypsilanti.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ypsilanti. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Ypsilanti sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
