“Fatima went above and beyond while caring for our cat. Her visit cards were always very thorough, she included great photos, and it was clear our cat loved having her around. Would rebook with Fatima in a heartbeat!”

“She was absolutely great and sweet with our cat ❤️ she took care of all of his extra stuff like timed feeder, catio access etc. I'm glad our cat had such great company while we were away.”

“Alexis was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend booking with her! She is super attentive to your fur babies & treats them as her own! She took my Leo on a walk & sent me the best check-in pictures! She did an 11/10 job & i truly suggest you book with her in the future! Thank you so much Alexis for being super kind, and helpful🫶”

About: Rats, Cats, Dogs, even Bats (if you have one) I'll care for them all!! I've taken care of animals since I tried to nurse a bird back to health in elementary during recess! I work part time as a twitch streamer, so my schedule is fairly flexible! With pet owners' permission, I like to show some of the pets I care for to my community! Either way, I love spending time with any and all pets! I will adhere to your instructions as closely as possible. I know how important it is not only for the pet(s), but the owners as well.

About: I understand how some animals need special care. I have a 14 year old cat that has an autoimmune disease. When he is fed, there is a detailed list of thing’s that must go into his food. I have also cared for a senior cat that needed to eat at very specific times because he was so thin. Every animal is different and as owners we know what they need to have their best life. I do my best to treat each pet just as their owners treat them. I work part time right now and the only days I am not completely available are Tuesdays and Thursday. I can care for your pet Monday and Wednesday anytime and Friday through Sundays anytime if your animals are alright with children because I have a 9 year old son. I won’t be able to bring your pet to my home because I have multiple cats that would be disturbed. I however can care for them at your house.
About: I've taken care of a family member's cat, and I have my own cat too. I totally get how you feel and what you might be worried about when you're away from your pets! I'm happy to have a coffee with you and know more about you and your pets, so we can make sure that we're on the same page. In addition, I'll send you lots of pictures and videos when I visit. I am currently a full-time graduate student, so I'm pretty flexible! For drop-in visits, I can do them anytime between 8 am and 10 pm. To make sure I get enough caring information for your pets, please provide me with their health situation/ feeding instructions/ energy level, personality/ litter box cleaning frequency, and anything else you think I should be aware of!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my whole life. I grew up with dogs from the shelter and cats that were taken in as strays. I’ve pet sat for friends and family many times over the years. Feeding cats, changing litter boxes, walking/playing with dogs, and handling medications. I currently have my own cat and my family has 2 more at their home. I’m also a graduating medical student and have a great medical and first aid background which is often very similar in humans and animals. I’d feel confident managing whatever needs your pet may have. I’m currently awaiting graduation so I have full availability during the day, every day of the week. Plus weekends too. I would be able to pet sit most days from ~8a-8p! But I’m flexible! I would be diligent in collecting thorough instructions from owners and making sure to follow them to a tee. I’d ideally like to do a meet and greet prior to a sitting. And then I’m willing and able to crate dogs, let them out into the yard, put in collar/leash and take on walks. For cats, I’m able to manage whatever diet they may be on, address the litter box, play or cuddle with them, and so on

“Laura B. was a fantastic sitter and sent me plenty of updates along the way. As a Rover newbie, it gave me sooooooo much peace of mind. I would happily recommend her to check in on your canine companions!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animals’ individual needs and my commitment to providing care that’s both compassionate and reliable. I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who require patience, medication management, and a gentle touch. I also currently work at an animal boarding facility that would take all species of animals so I have current and up to date experience with all types of animals including reptiles, small mammals/rodents, large mammals, and birds as well as administering medications. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs each pet requires. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets feel secure and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including medication, exercise, and cuddle time, while keeping pet parents updated with regular check-ins. Safety and trust are always my top priorities—I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are at the heart of how I care for pets—whether in my home or my client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure it stays clean and secure. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, pet-proofed space with plenty of comfort and supervision. I build trust by offering calm, attentive care and sending regular updates, so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away.
About: My family had a dog (Buddy) for 9 years. Through caring for him, I have learned to love caring for animals. I have also been a cat and dog sitter/walker for a number of my neighbors over the past 6 years. I am great with both high and low energy pets! I have a full time job, however I do have a lot of flexibility. I am happy to adjust my schedule to get to spend time with your pets! I sadly don’t currently have a pet. In the past, I enjoyed playing with my dog, taking him for walks, and spending as much time with him as possible. He had a lot of energy, especially for an older dog. I was always gentle and patient with him. I would bring my patience to any pet I watch. I truly just love animals and would be a great sitter for your pet.
“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!”

“Katja is great with our cats when we are out of town. We come home and they seem happy. I love getting the pictures of them eating and playing happily, and I know that they will be in good hands when we are gone.”


About: Growing up I had a dog and several cats that were incredibly important to me. Now as an adult I have my own dog who is my best friend and the light of my life. As much as I would like to take her everywhere I go, that's not reality so I understand the importance of a good caregiver. Whether you're going on a daytime adventure and need someone to check on your best friend or just need someone to get a walk in while you're not available, I'm your person! As for the cute cats in your life, I would love to help there too. I currently work as a nanny and the family has cats. Part of my daily responsibilities are feeding them and of course an added bonus is getting cuddles. I currently work as a nanny in the evenings. This means that I have plenty of free time before 3pm to care for your pets and give them all the love they need. I'm free Mon- Thurs before 3pm and typically anytime on the weekends. As a nanny I understand what it's like to be trusted to go into someone else's home and care for the people and animals that are their world. I treat every home I'm in with respect and want to ensure that my clients feel at peace knowing someone is coming into their home.

About: Over 20 years experience taking care of various pets from personal to family and friends. Extremely well recieved by all pets more so then not. Happy to asist with training, instructions /how tos and best pet care practices if needed. Currently I am a stay at home dog and cat dad so I have wide availability through the week and weekend. Hours of availability 6am to 9pm Can accommodate most requests for house sitting, have extra crates if needed. Also I have 2 very friendly and outgoing dogs if play/walk/social companions are needed/wanted. Vehicle has pet protection in the back, available for field trips to park or vet visits!
Ypsilanti dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily is amazing all around!! Katy my 12 year old Shih Tzu absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her when she comes each day for her mid-day walk and fun. She's very prompt, courteous, and flexible. Her daily reports are so nice and sweet including the pics she takes. I couldn't have asked for a better person to walk and care for Katy.

Ivy did a great job watching my dog Porter. He is a large dog who is afraid of everything, so he can be a challenge to watch. Ivy quickly made friends with him, and she took care of him while we were away for the holiday. She sent some amazing pictures and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for.

Steve & Kara were reliable & friendly. I truly appreciated when they took Elio on longer walks & stayed for the full hour time of booking. Got lots of cute pictures and Elio seemed well taken care of & happy while I was away. Would recommend to anyone looking to for a dog sitter, they did great!

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.

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.

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!
