“Denise was AMAZING! She was so patient with my shy senior Nikita. The two of them bonded much quicker than I had anticipated and it made me so happy to know that my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Denise again as she’s become a member of Nikita’s circle! Thank you big time Denise - you are truly incredible.”
“Stephanie and Andre were great! They were able to give multiple medicines to my senior dog, took great care of her and the house. I highly recommend and will be booking again!”
“Nicole was great for a week long stay with our two dogs. She has great communication and sent multiple updates and pictures. Our pups seemed comfortable and happy with her. We would recommend her services.”
“Jessi was very kind and loving with our Golden retriever, Brady Love. She was faithful in sending updates and pictures to us during her stay. Her personality is both upbeat and professional. We highly recommend her without reservation. Thank you, Jessi!!”
“Communication, care and professionalism were all top notch. We have a senior dog that requires extra special care and attention and Larissa and Joseph went above and beyond. We came back from our trip to a happy and healthy dog. Getting pictures the whole time was great. It was so comforting to know that our dog was in such good hands.”
“Jennifer was so good with my dog and cat while I was out of town for three days. She went above and beyond when my air conditioning went out during a heat wave and helped me coordinate with my neighbor to make sure my pets were safe!”
“This was my second experience utilizing Rover house sitting. Communication was excellent with photos and prompt replies. She even mopped the basement and cleaned the kitchen sink area, which was an added bonus. My understanding was that she and her husband would stop by 4 times a day and walk the dogs. The house smelled good upon arrival and my pets appeared to be in good health & spirits. In addition, she is a retired vet tech. So, yes, I would consider having the couple house sit again.”
“Fatima was great with our needy senior dog while we were away. She gave lots of updates with photos and let us know how it was going throughout the weekend. Our house was in great shape when we returned and even our very shy cat seemed to warm up by the end. Would definitely recommend Fatima to anyone looking for in-home sitting and we hope to use her again in the future!”
“Jenna was fantastic! She house sat for our two labs for five days. One of the dogs got an upset stomach just before we left on our trip and Jenna was so caring and gracious in getting her back to feeling normal. She was easy to work with and left the house in good shape. Definitely recommend.”
“Jackie is amazing- I asked her to watch Tucker very last minute, and she was SO accommodating. She sent so many pictures/videos of Tucker and he absolutely loved her!! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Kasey is so great, I have two pets she has cared for twice now, a puppy and a dog who have very different personalities and needs. She has been able to connect with my dog who is a bit standoffish and manage my velcro puppy. She is also great at checking in and asking questions if they arise, and sharing updates and photos. She has went above and beyond to make sure they are having fun with her. I am so grateful when she comes because I know that they are in great hands and highly recommend her!”
“Jordan was very communicative, willing to do a meet, and greet, and helpful with our dog’s medical needs while watching her. She provided frequent updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind while away. Thank you, Jordan!!”
“We are very thankful for T.J.s loving and attentive care with our big boy Finn! And we also received a lovely sketch of our boy, in addition to T.J.s great care! We will be happy to have T.J. again in the event we get another trip! 🤗🤗”
“Bridget did a great job with both my dogs. She was very responsive, and communicated well and sent lots of pictures! She exceeded my expectations and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips!”
“Kelly did such a great job as always! She stayed in our house to watch our very sensitive dog over the holidays, and she did a wonderful job--we came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Kelly is a truly thoughtful and caring petsitter who goes above and beyond for the animals that she cares for. We'd recommend her to anyone!”
“Rainy was great. We had kind of a weird situation where we needed someone to watch earlier in the day and then come back in the evening and she accommodated that and sent tons of pictures was communicative.”
“Kelsey is truly amazing. Communicated all the time with me and constantly send photos of my pets. My dog can be a lot a time and Kelsey welcomed my baby with open arms. Truly made me so happy.”
“Sterling did a really great job taking care of my dog. My dog is high-spirited, high-energy. He calmed down immediately around her. She took him on really great walks (his favorite part of the day) and gave him delicious treats (his second favorite part of the day). When I came home, he was calm, content and happily exercised. She went above and beyond in so many ways. I am forever grateful for her help. I highly recommend Sterling.”
“Kaylee did such a wonderful job of taking care of my dog. It was very hot outside. She was careful in monitoring him during their walks. I really appreciated her help. My dog is happy and quietly sleeping. That means that he had a very good day today. I have Kaylee to thank for that.”
“Ava did a wonderful job watching our dog Calvin for a long weekend. She is very thorough and professional and made us feel like our boy was in great caring hands! She stayed at our home with him and left it looking as if no one was ever there. We also appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would love to have Ava take care of him again in the future!”

Mya always does a wonderful job with our sensitive dog! She is careful to always follow handling instructions and is great at being attentive to dogs' body language and accommodating accordingly. She's a delight to talk to and responds quickly to any questions.

Mikaela was calm and easygoing, which put us at ease leaving our pup with her during our trip. She sent photo updates, and our pup was happy and well‑cared for throughout our time away. We’re so grateful for Mikaela’s gentle presence and care while we were away!
I would highly recommend Haevin as a pet and house sitter! All of my animals immediately warmed up to her, even my very shy kitten. She was very communicative and reassuring when I was worrying about being away from my kitten for the first time. I came home to a spotless house and three very happy animals!
TJ was great with our pitbull and home. Bonus! Our daughter got three snails, so that got added to TJ’s plate for our 11ish day trip. TJ took notes, made sure care instructions were mutually understood, and asked great questions. Throughout the trip, great communication helped us not to worry at all about how things were going on the home front. We’ll look forward with booking with them again- thanks, TJ!
Michael did a great job caring for our dog while we were away for a long period. He even gave her eye drops twice a day he also helped water some new plants which was greatly appreciated. He was also very respectful of our space. We’d love to have him sit for us again!
Carolyn was wonderful! This was our first time trying an in house sitter and everything was great. She was very attentive and communicated all during her stay. Carolyn eased my anxieties upon meeting her and discussing everything. We will be using her again and would recommend her as well.
Kaylee did such a wonderful job of taking care of my dog. It was very hot outside. She was careful in monitoring him during their walks. I really appreciated her help. My dog is happy and quietly sleeping. That means that he had a very good day today. I have Kaylee to thank for that.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ypsilanti
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ypsilanti on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,859 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ypsilanti. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ypsilanti walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ypsilanti maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ypsilanti. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
