“Andrew and his partner took excellent care of our dog and were very playful with him. Very quick on their responses, easy communication, and responsible. I definitely recommend!”
“Katie was truly wonderful with my dog! She asked me lots of questions on how to best care for her and make her comfortable, was super communicative, and sent me lots of sweet pictures. I felt confident that my dog was not only safe but was with someone who wanted to make sure she was happy and comfortable. I’ll definitely reach out to Katie next time I need a sitter!”
“Ashley was wonderful while watching my very energetic mini poodle!! She sent great updates and photos while I was out of town. My boy clearly felt right at home and I’ll definitely plan on working with Ashley again!”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“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.”
“Katie and Kristen were great! They sent photos of my dog Indi regularly and were quick to respond to any messages. Indi seemed really comfortable when I picked him up, and it looked like their dog Jasper and Indi got along well! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Oscar and Shannon took great care of our dogs, Gooseberry and Rutabaga. The communication from both of them was excellent—they sent us regular updates and pictures, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were traveling. The whole experience was very calming, and we were able to enjoy our excursion without worrying. I would highly recommend Oscar and Shannon to any prospective client looking for the highest level of care for their dog. They were by far the most professional boarders we’ve worked with through Rover, and we’ll definitely be booking with them again in the near future.”
“Thank you Erin and Jeff for taking great care of Rufus for us for a week, and on such short notice. And thank you for the regular photo updates showing how happy he was and how he was making friends with the other dogs. We really appreciated it. We will definitely be in touch again for future Rufus dog-sitting needs!”
“Amazing, super sweet and I appreciated how she sent alot of pics and vids of my pup with updates of what they were doing!!🫶🏾 would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer”
“Amy took great care of Leila. She was communicative and sent regular updates during our trip. When we arrived, Leila was coming back from a walk and seemed very happy and comfortable with Amy! Thank you!”
“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.”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life- from cats and dogs, to lizards and snails, and even horses! I love all of them and will give them all the attention they deserve. I am free weekends, evenings and nights mainly but can be very flexible. You just let me know what you need and I'll try to make it work. I do require advanced notice however. I am happy to care for pets in your home however is needed/desired during the day time or evenings. I do work most days so I cannot always guarantee a full day of availability but I can do several drop-ins a day!
“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.”
“David was amazing! He did everything to make my senior pup Lobo feel right at home, and provided great updates and photos during his stay that allowed me a worry free trip abroad. Would definitely recommend him and book for my future trips!”
“Catherine was absolutely amazing! My family had a medical procedure done and I had to stay with my husband in the hospital for a few days and she would send me updates and really cared about my family. Also I got lots of cute pictures of my furbaby when I missed him dearly💛💛”
“Otis had the BEST time with Jennifer and her family. Not only did he have constant fun (running in the grass, playing frisbee, and playing with Donald), snuggles, and love, but he also dipped his toes in the water. Before that, Otis would evade water! Jennifer was so kind and extremely communicative throughout and took some awesome photos of Otis. She treated Otis with the utmost care and love (just like he was her own pup)! Highly recommend to book with Jennifer! Otis was at a fun and wellness retreat essentially for the week!!”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of our little pup Tartufo for an extended stay. She was super communicative sending multiple updates per day, and didn't hesitate to ask us clarifying questions when needed. Tartufo came home to us a happy and healthy pup -- in fact we thought he might not want to leave! We will be seeking her out next time we need to board him again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Katie took excellent care of my puppy (Cooper). She offered to not take any other clients when I told her my puppy was scared by other dogs. She was quick to respond to any inquiry from me about how he was doing, and was super flexible with the drop-off/pick-up times. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ypsilanti
This is the first time we have worked with Michael with a "meet and greet" along with an overnight boarding stay in his home. It was a great experience working with Michael. He was quick in his responses to us before and during the booking process. He loves dogs and felt very comfortable with our Girl. He followed our instructions and advice for taking care of our German Shepherd. We couldn't be happier. He has a very nice backyard and while it is not fenced, our Girl was able to be on a long lead he has set up where she could securely walk around on her own if she wished. Michael also took her on numerous nice long walks and even a quick short jog with our Girl which we suggested. Being she is an older dog, he used his discretion in not overdoing the run with her. He sent nice photos and an update for the overnight stay, which we so appreciated. All in all, it was a nice experience with Michael and he will be watching her again real soon on another boarding visit coming up. Thank you, Michael! See you soon.
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.
Suraj and his family took excellent care of our senior Shih Tzus on two separate occasions. We received lots of photos and videos, which was nice to know they were being well cared for. Suraj was very accommodating on a short notice request and with regards to drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
