About: I’ve been a dog-mom for 20+ years and know how hard it can be to leave your pup. You can trust that I’ll love your dog like my own! I work full time from home and have a very flexible schedule, I can work from anywhere with flexibility throughout the day for walks and play time! We have a fenced in dog and a built in doggy door for medium-small pups. Our happy and playful 2 year old puppy will be your pups friend. We can kennel your pup if you’d like but are also happy to have them snuggle with us.
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 grew up with pet dogs, Nichole and Maddie, both terrier mixes. Currently, I have two cats, Rubble and Jpeg. They're great. We live in an apartment, so unfortunately I don't feel comfortable adding a pup to the family at the time. I'm currently working part-time as a DoorDasher, so I'm extremely open to scheduling needs. I can easily adjust for mornings or evenings and am able to accommodate most work schedules. I maintain a schedule and routine with pets in their home. I recognize how important that is to all parties involved! Belly rubs. I am more than happy to send any and all pictures of your sweet pet to you and keep a clear line of communication available.
About: I've had at least one dog in my home since I was 7 years old. I also have experience working at a doggie daycare. I have experience with dogs as small as 4 pounds and as large as 180, as well as dogs 4 months old through age 16. I am willing to give oral and topical medication, and willing to learn how to give injectable meds. I'm mainly doing gig work right now, so my schedule is flexible! I'm more than willing to work with your schedule to figure out what's best for your dog If your dog has a specific routine that they follow with you at home, let me know so that no one's schedule gets knocked out of whack.
“Kallandra was fantastic and our first experience of a pet sitter. She helped us out, with very short notice, and was response, friendly and fed, loved and entertained our kitten while we were away. We highly recommend Kallandra and will be contacting her again when we need help.”
“Thank you so much, you went above and beyond! Normally it takes a visit or two with a new person before she lets you pet her! This is my first time using rover but I'll be sure to contact you again in the future as needed. I hope she can continue to warm up to you!”

“Emily was fantastic! She did everything we asked of her. Silvie on the other hand was something to contend with. But, Emily took it in stride. We would recommend Emily to cat owners especially. We really loved getting the snap shots of Silvie everyday. nice bonus.”
“This was our first time using Rover! We wanted an animal lover, and we needed someone we felt we could trust like family — Emily was just that. She met our two dachshunds and our two siamese cats at our meet and greet, and we knew she was a true animal lover. For this past trip, she looked after our two siamese cats for a week and even managed to earn the approval of our very territorial female siamese (few have done — even family members). She went above and beyond giving them the attention each of them needed based on their unique personalities, and gave us updates with every visit. It was such a relief knowing Emily was looking after our kitties and we didn’t have to worry about how they were doing. We hope to book her for our next trip!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. I regularly care for my childhood dogs, including a senior dog who requires extra attention and special care. This has given me experience being patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Michigan and have flexibility in my schedule this semester. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to build my schedule around the needs of each pet. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets or animals with additional needs and will always prioritize their comfort and safety.
“Shannon is the best sitter we’ve had so far! We liked that she has a background in training dogs and knew how to handle our senior pooch. We had alot of anxiety leaving our pup, but she went above and beyond, and made sure to give him lots of walks, send pictures, give updates, even brought in our packages. 10/10 recommend her and will always choose her whenever we’re away in the future. Thank you Shannon, we appreciate you! 🥰”
“Christina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.”
“Regan takes care of 7 year old Labrador Retriever Baby Jack (BJ), and 13.5 year old Labrador Retriever Jill. She is reliable and shows up as promised. She does a great job of playing with BJ and getting him relaxed and calm. Regan is patient with Jill who is quite elderly and requires a lot of TLC. We highly recommend Regan--she is smart, reliable, caring and everything anyone could want in a dog companion! Five stars and we will continue to use her for walks, playtime and overnights!!!”
“Elise was great with my pups giving them lots of love and play time while I was away. She was able to accommodate our last minute plans and gave our dogs the quality time they needed.”
About: I absolutely love being around animals and am constantly trying to be around them. I have always had animals around me throughout my life including cats, dogs, birds, snakes, horses, and a chinchilla. They are always such a joy and fun to be around. I love getting to interact with different kinds of animals. I do work a job, so this is something I do solely because I enjoy it. I would be sure to show your animals lots of love as well as I do with mine. I hope to hear from ya! :) My regular work schedule is generally flexible and I work from home so I generally have the option to up and go care for your pets if need be. I care for them in the same way that I care for my own pets including based on any additional requested the pet owner may have.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.

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.

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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
