“Kelly is great! This is the second time she has taken care of my cat, Bones, and both times I felt confident that my fur baby was in good hands. Kelly also has great communication and makes coordinating logistics a breeze. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter in the area.”
“Emily is the best!!! She is so thorough and has great communication. My dog had the best time with her in the 2.5 weeks I was gone. I didn’t worry about her once because I knew she was in the best care with Emily. ☺️”
About: Hi! I’ve got over ten years of experience having my own dog and taking care of others. Right now I don't have any other pets in my home, and I live in a nice subdivision with plenty of space to walk and roam! I am also an active walker/runner if your pet likes that, or relaxing at home is great too. :) I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and am around most weekends to be flexible for pet care. My house is in Ypsi and I work in Ann Arbor. I live in a friendly subdivision and near a park with lots of area to walk. We have a nice back yard that is partially fenced and a two story home.
“Erin was amazing! This is my first time using Rover and I was a bit apprehensive as I have a reactive dog and was unsure how he would be bring home with someone coming in but Erin met both boys and they fell in love! Erin sent pictures and videos that showed two very comfortable and happy boys. The updates she gave put me at ease as I was feeling anxious leaving the boys home alone. The next time we go out of town we will certainly ask Erin to watch the boys again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ypsilanti
Kelsey always takes such great care of Charlie! I really appreciate how she keeps me updated on how he’s doing, even during a simple walk. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you, Kelsey, for your kindness, great communication, and consistently wonderful service!
Michelle was an absolute godsend for our dog Sophie. We needed a last minute sitter on Labor Day weekend and Michelle was so kind to help us out. She met with Sophie the day before and they hit it off immediately. She gave us lots of updates throughout her drop-in and some wonderful photos, too. Thank you, Michelle! Sophie was in excellent hands!!!!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ypsilanti is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $32 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 3,018 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ypsilanti. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ypsilanti choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
