“Ashley is kind, patient, and communicates frequently. I loved receiving the photos. Thank you for making Ramen feel comfortable - he warmed up to you without me being around for this first drop-in day. Ramen can’t wait to hang out with you again :).”
“Ivy did a great job watching my dog Porter. He is a large dog who is afraid of everything, so he can be a challenge to watch. Ivy quickly made friends with him, and she took care of him while we were away for the holiday. She sent some amazing pictures and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for.”
“Jamie takes such good care of our kitty when we are away, including ensuring she gets all of her meds - no easy task! Jamie is proactive, accomodating, reliable, and has the right touch with our kitty. I can recommend!”
“Peace of mind is what Jenna provided us! We are first time Rover users. Jenna was all business with a huge side of kindness!! She fought the awful elements here in Michigan...we were gone during the extreme cold so we are extra appreciative! She even washed out the food containers I had prepared our dog's food in, as well as the fun lick pad we use for our cat! I honestly didn't expect that because I am lazy and leaving them soaking for a week! Hahaha Also, being that we were gone for 7 days (they are used to me being home everyday) I appreciated the pictures of Piper and Archer cuddling with Jenna! Tells me all I need to know! Jenna will be our future extended fam!”
“Absolutely amazing! Great with the dogs and the cats. Provided fun play time and was very attentive to their needs. Gave helpful feedback on pets and sent really fun photos!”
“Amazing amazing amazing!!! The best pet sitter on this app! I’ve booked with several other pet sitters before, but Tera has truly been the best. I booked drop-in visits over Christmas and New Years and she went above and beyond each visit. She spent so much time with my cat and gave her so much love! She will treat your pet as if they are her own ❤️ Book with her if you have the opportunity to, she is amazing!”

About: I'm new to professional pet sitting, but caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I bring calm energy that animals warm up to quickly. I have a part time position at petco. I've enjoyed my work with clients thusfar and would prefer to take on more clients as a full time option. I might not be the best to describe this but i am a pushover and believe all the fluff balls deserve to be cuddled up.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Brianna is amazing! Communication was really excellent and she took our pup on 2 walks during the time she cared for him (even though we didn’t specifically request them- he LOVES walks!). He was clearly very well taken care of and we’ll definitely reach out to Brianna again the next time we’re away for a weekend!”
About: I have been an animal lover since birth. I was raised with all kinds of animals and have continued my love for them over the years. From dogs and cats to ferrets, newts and iguanas. I have yet to meet an animal that I don't like. My children also love animals and help with walks and game playing outdoors. I have a mini breed who is simply another child to me in our home and will provide company and play time. We live in a special neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and we all luv and walk our fur babies. There is a park with trails at the end of our block. We also have a fenced in backyard. Fergie's Playland is your pets home away from home. If you prefer fee free reservations, look me up on Facebook under FergiesPlayland. Thanks I currently work from home which is a huge benefit to having furry friends over. Walks throughout the day, lots of play and potty breaks. Look me up on Facebook under FergiesPlayland for fee free reservations. I have a fenced in backyard. We always use leashes when going for our walks. I will always accommodate whatever ur current home regime is.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ypsilanti
Lacy was the best with my two cats!! She arrived on time, followed the list of stuff I wanted her to do perfectly (my cats require special feeding instructions), was very communicative before/during/after, and I really enjoyed the pictures she took of my babies! I was also very surprised that my one cat warmed up to her instantly and even smelled her hand on the first introduction - she had a traumatic past and usually takes a few days to warm up to ppl. I definitely recommend Lacy and re-book with her in the future!
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!
Our first time using Rover was with Denae and we could not speak more highly of our experience with her! She was so communicative, showed up exactly on the schedule we discussed, and gave our fur babies so much love and attention. We felt so confident they were in good hands the entirety of our trip and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!
Matthew was a great catsitter for our weekend trip. He left detailed notes about how our cats were doing while we were gone, what care he did, the state of their litter boxes, etc. and sent great photos for us of our babies to look forward to each day. He was on-time, attentive and kind during our meet-and-greet a few days before we left town. Would definitely recommend & book again!
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!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ypsilanti is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 October 2026, there are 3,206 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ypsilanti. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
