About: I've taken care of neighbor and family pets since the 1990s, mostly cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily care, feeding schedules walks, playtime, and helping pet feel calm, safe, and well looked after. I make my own schedule so I'm able to help watch pets almost anytime. Weekdays, weekends, days, nights, all sorts of times. Hit me up! I have a large fenced yard and one dog who gets along well with others. When I'm caring for a pet at its house I'm very respectful of the space.
About: I grew up with cocker spaniel pups most of my childhood, caring for them from newborn and on! As an adult, my husband and I adopted two dogs and loved them as our children into their old age. I'm adept at given meds and adjusting to older age. We've had pets of all sizes but do prefer to board 80 lbs and under :) My schedule is pretty flexible as I work/volunteer part time! I can make a variety of things work, even if it may be relatively short notice. I have a nice sized fenced in yard that your pups will love running around in! I will care for them like they are my own. I only accept boarding from one client at a time (can do multiple pups from the same home) but I do occassionally take a dog for a day care visit. (Please let me know if this is not advisable during your pup's stay.)
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for years on end and I’m pretty free no matter what! Big dogs small dogs I’ve dealt with them all! I don’t work I’m a disabled artist that needs to put up stuff I usually dog sit for neighbors dog but not for long I have a lot of experience to take care of pets including dogs and cats because of my work and my home I make sure they are all doing good and listening to every introductions and also I love hanging around all animals
About: I have been around animals my whole life! I grew up helping my parents take care of our dogs and cat, and currently have rescued two of my own. I also volunteer at the animal shelter every week :) I currently work mostly short shifts, so I am home a lot. I also have time to come home on my lunch break for days I work more hours. I am very flexible and open to doing whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy while you are away! I would love to hear from you about how to best take care of your baby :)
“Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly”
“It was immediately apparent that our dog would be safe and happy in Janice’s care. She gave detailed reports at the end of every walk (with pictures), and it was clear that our pup was having a great time. Janice will be the first person we contact the next time we need to leave our dog in good hands.”
“Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and I truly love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to get to know them, understand their needs, and build a trusting relationship. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs, including dogs with different routines, temperaments, and special needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and using positive reinforcement to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. Because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs, including some last-minute requests. I also love walking and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to have a furry buddy join me. Over the years, I’ve been a trusted caretaker for many pets, giving owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are cared for, loved, and treated with patience and kindness while they’re away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule! Your dog can work with me at my home and will always have someone around to give them comfort. I have a fenced in yard and/or can crate your dog if needed. I have a yappy senior chihuahua, that is all bark, no bite.
About: I have always loved animals ever since I was a child. As soon as I was old enough to do so, I began taking care of my neighbors' cats and dogs when they would leave for vacation or work trips, in addition to my own dog. From there, I began volunteering at the League for Animal Welfare, a no-kill shelter in Ohio. I worked with countless dogs and cats to help train, socialize, and exercise them, and otherwise prepare them for adoption into a forever home. I am responsible, reliable, and dedicated to keeping all pets safe and happy. After owning a large golden retriever and caring for numerous dogs both larger and smaller, I am comfortable and experienced with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. Above all, I love animals, and will go above and beyond to make sure that your pet(s) are safe, healthy, and happy.
“Tera is amazing! She went above and beyond! Met our pup beforehand, was very patient with him as he can be skittish, took him on long walks, and played with him at the park. Our pup looked so happy and seemed very excited when she would come by to walk him! Highly recommend!”
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 cats and dogs for nearly my entire life. My neighbors, friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets while they're away. I am definitely and animal person and seek them out wherever I go! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your critters! I'm available 12:30-2:30 on M/W/F, Tuesday mornings until 1p and after 2, and weekends are pretty flexible. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your dog if necessary. I also have space to isolate your critter from the household cats if necessary.
“Louisha is a very nice person. She came over the day before our trip to Cedar Point and met Lucy, our dog, and myself. She asked great questions about her routines and specific needs. I was nervous using this app and who I would find but she had great reviews and she has them for a reason. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. Lucy loved her too! We will certainly use her services again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ypsilanti on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ypsilanti. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ypsilanti. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ypsilanti.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ypsilanti. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
