“Andrew took great care of my two dogs during a long weekend trip I took. I’m immensely grateful. I got update photos and prompt communication about my pups the whole time. Thanks Andrew!”
“Katie is an amazing dog sitter! From the very start, her care and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind. She sent us so many lovely photos and thoughtful updates. Her communication was fantastic, and we truly felt our pup was in the best hands. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Apollo had a wonderful time at Ashley’s. He got lots of cuddles and got to play in the fenced in backyard. He always looked peaceful and happy in the photos. I booked with Ashley because I got the sense that she would be gentle and sensitive to Apollo’s emotions, and Ashley definitely proved that to be true. She seems like a gentle and kind soul who loves animals.”
“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!”
“Dia was great with our pup, from the time we connected for a meet and greet we felt comfortable. Dia provided great communication and photos throughout our dog's stay. We certainly will entrust her with our fur baby again!”
“I am so grateful for Katie and Kristen for their amazing care of my Boston Terrier, Abby! I was going to a conference for two days and plans fell through for her, but Katie and Kristen were amazing and I was able to book with them for two nights. They sent photos and updates which I absolutely adored. Abby is totally pooped after having an amazing time with them and I wholeheartedly can say with certainy that you should book with them when they’re available. You can leave your beloved pet with them as they are in good hands. Thank you so much for all of your help and all of the updates. I am so grateful for you both! And Abby says thank you for taking care of me!”
“We are so grateful to Oscar for taking such amazing care of our puppy Maple this past weekend! Maple had so much indoor and outdoor playtime! Oscar kept us updated with videos and messages throughout the weekend. He was also incredibly flexible with Maple’s pickup time when we got stuck in traffic on our drive home. We recommend Oscar as a pet sitter without reservation and will definitely ask if Oscar can care for Maple again in the future!”
“We had an excellent experience leaving our 2 dogs with Erin. Communication was excellent. Lots of pictures sent so we could see their happy faces while we were away. I look forward to boarding the dogs with Erin again.”
“Beth was extremely responsive, flexible, and took great care of my pup. We had just moved to the area so we couldn’t do a meet and greet ahead of time but Beth called me before hand to make sure we were on the same page. Then when my flight was canceled she very graciously kept Miura longer. Miura had a great time and we will definitely book 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.”
“Michael is a kind and sincere person who is clearly familiar with and genuinely loves dogs. He is an excellent communicator, very accommodating, and took great care of my English bulldog mix in his wonderful home while I was away. He will be the first person I contact when I need a sitter again! Thanks so much, Michael!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ypsilanti
Katie and her husband are absolutely amazing! We had them watch our dog, Oakley, over the weekend of our daughter’s wedding, and they took such wonderful care of her. Knowing she was in such loving and caring hands gave us peace of mind so we could fully enjoy this special weekend with our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would not hesitate to book with Katie again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ypsilanti is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,265 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ypsilanti. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
