“Erin hosted Winnie for doggie daycare and she had a blast! Winnie got to play with a bunch of other friendly dogs, go on walks, and get lots of attention! Erin was also super friendly, organized, and communicative! I look forward to her hosting Winnie again sometime soon 😊🐶”
“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using her again!”
About: I've had and loved and owned animals my whole life. I have worked at a vet's office, 2 humane societies, and 3 zoos. I used to travel to schools all over the country doing animal programs in schools, libraries, and other events. I've fostered dogs for rescued, and pets sat for friends. I'm retired, so all my attention will go to making your pet(s) feel safe and happy. I will provide stimulating activities and lots of cuddles. I am willing to give baths and do nails. I am experienced at giving medications and handling emergency situations. All toxins are out of reach.
“Panda came back so-o-o relaxed and happy from Laura and Manuel's. (He was happy to go there, and in no big hurry to come home!) Good amount of feedback of how he spent his day and how he behaved. Their dogs are such a sweet little dog pack for any pup to join! And Laura is so good at putting anxious dogs at ease.”
“Jane is fantastic! She responds to my request quickly and is easily communicated. She is taking a good care of my puppy, play with him, walk him and send me pictures/video that greatly soothe my nerves (as this is my first time to trust someone to take care of my high-energy puppy).”
About: Hi! I’m TJ (they/he) Since joining Rover in 2022, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, multi-pet households, and even a bearded dragon. I also have two cats of my own and regularly care for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. Through my experience, I’ve developed a thoughtful and adaptable approach to caring for pets with different personalities, comfort levels, and energy levels. Whether that means keeping up with feeding routines, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, treats, or helping a pet settle down and feel comfortable, I always try to adjust my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience with overnight stays and caring for both dogs and cats in the same home. I pay close attention to behavior and routine, keep the environment clean and low-stress, and communicate with owners if anything comes up so I can care for their pets the way they prefer. I do work late nights most of the week, but I strive to keep my schedule as flexible as possible :) I approach every booking with the same care and dedication I’d want for my own pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please note that while my legal name appears on my profile, I prefer to go by TJ. I’m excited to meet your pets and provide them with personalized, dependable care! I always make sure to spend as much time with my pets as possible and take care of their needs to let them know they are loved:) I have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their environment. Caring for them is part of my everyday routine, from feeding and fresh water to litter box care, attention, and making sure they feel at ease in their space. I’ve also been regularly caring for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week since July 2025, so I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully and providing dependable, attentive care while their owners are away.
“Mina did an excellent job taking care of our 4 year old golden retriever, Jerry! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate a last second request, she took perfect care of Jerry, and sent lots of photos and videos. 5 star sitter!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about My! She watched my dog, Uncle Baxter, on less than 12 hours’ notice for two days of daycare, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, sweet, and incredibly responsive every time I messaged her. Uncle Baxter was a little nervous the first day, but by the second day he was running right up to her, which told me everything I needed to know! 🥰 She took so much stress and anxiety off of me, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and going to have a good time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and trustworthy to watch their pup! ❤️🐾”
“Andrew was quick to respond and asked all the questions to be able to care for my dogs. My dogs seemed to be very comfortable during this stay and would definitely rebook next time I'm in need of a sitter for my girls.”
“Rachel and Michael were great! We booked well in advance and everything went as planned. They have a great fenced in back yard and took our dog for walks the two days she was with them for daycare. Rachel readily responds to messages and was flexible with times. Definitely recommend them!”
About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals, especially dogs! I’ve always had dogs in my house growing up, and when I moved out after college I got a pup of my own :) His name is Tucker and he just turned 3! If I see dogs anywhere, I HAVE to stop and show them some love. I’m working part-time, typically during the morning. My schedule is very flexible and I’m free most of the day throughout the summer! I will do whatever you need me to in order to take care of your pups! Whether they need walking, playing, relaxing, I can do anything!
“Phoebe had a great visit with Kaeden! It was her first daycare experience. Kaeden communicated well, answered all of my questions, and provides lots of photos. The backyard area is very secure. We will be back!”
About: I've done pet sitting/dog walking for over 4 years now. I work from home so I am available to them all day. I live in a spacious apartment with a huge nature scene surrounding it. I have a vast range of experience with animals. I myself have three animals (a rescue kitten, a working line German Shepherd, and an Australian Shepherd) none of whom will be present when I am taking care of your animals (either during the day or overnight). I am worked on in depth training with both of my dogs and can carry on any training/exercise routines you have set for your pets. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve worked on training with my own dogs for years and am happy to help continue the training and routines you’re already working on. I’m currently working from home, so I can be flexible and shift my schedule to what works best for your pet. Whether your dog needs three walks a day, some playtime and exercise, or simply someone to sit and snuggle with on the couch, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they need. I live in a puppy and kitten proofed apartment, with things like outlet covers and other safety measures in place. My building is surrounded by nature, with a large yard right out front and a lake nearby, making it a great environment for pets to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors.
“I can tell that Heather really treated our dog like part of her family. And I can tell, too, that Panda had a very tiring, happy day at her house. He was excited to see me, but in NO hurry to go home. And he's been sleeping since we got back.”
“Toast had 3 daycare stays with Kaitlyn while I was in the area visiting friends. Toast was so happy to see Kaitlyn at the beginning of every stay and came home calm and content. A huge storm occurred during one of the stays which frightened Toast, and Kaitlyn helper her feel safe by giving her a hiding place and wrapping her up. Couldn't be happier knowing Toast was in safe and caring hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.
“Shannon and her family are fantastic! Sasha had a busy and fun-filled day, and came home the best kind of tuckered out. Sasha is counting days til her next stay. Thank you!!”

Angelica and her husband provide exceptional pet care and provide thoughtful updates/videos during daycare. They are very attentive and patient with my anxious pup, always keeping a close eye and making sure she is comfortable and adjusting to the new environment. They have a very dog friendly home with gates, secure outdoor fencing with a large lovely yard for the dogs to play and a great selection of puzzle toys and healthy treats. What I appreciate most is that they keep only a small number of dogs at a time and only accept small dogs, which was exactly what I was looking for since my dog is nervous around larger breeds and crowded daycares. Having their own sweet small dog, Archie, also adds an opportunity for socialization.
Kara and Steven were great! We did a meet and greet and this was our first time doing daycare. Both appointments were easy to set up with clear, quick communication from Kara and Steven. During daycare, they updated the app with pics. They also took my pup on two long, beautiful walks -- much appreciated!
Melanie was so great with my little one — she got walks, lots of attention, and came back smelling so good! Also, her pup Giovanni was the *perfect* playmate. My little Pip immediately warmed to him, and I got the sweetest videos of them playing and then sleeping next to each other 🥹 Highly recommend Melanie, and so appreciate her taking Pip so last minute!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ypsilanti commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 961 sitters in Ypsilanti, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
