About: I have had experience caring and loving for dogs almost my whole life. My family has always had a dog in the house and I've been caring for dogs from a young age. I'm experienced, passionate and safe. If you're looking for a fun place for your dog to have their very own vacation, you've come to the right place. I began dog sitting for friends and family since I moved into my fabulous dog-friendly apartment. When your dog stays with me, they can enjoy my fenced front yard and I'm very close to a fun dog park. Dogs in my care will enjoy lots of snuggles, playtime and treats--with their owner's permission of course. I understand dog body language, and have cared for dogs of all types. If you pup is anxious, I will make them feel comfortable by offering them kindness and gentle playtime. Dogs--and their owners--love me because I know exactly how to make a dog feel at ease. If you think I'd be a great fit for your pet, please give me a call! I can't wait to hear from you. I love going for walks in my neighborhood and sitting on my back patio, especially when I have a dog to join me!
“Huckleberry was so excited to see Corinne after our meet and greet! Corinne was kind to Huck and gave him extra water and pets after his second walk of the day! Corinne genuinely likes animals and she was kind enough to accommodate my ever-changing schedule. Thanks Corinne !”
“I had to travel into town with my dog and it was going to be long work days. I was relieved to find Rachael and meet her — knowing my dog would be well cared for! Highly recommended her to others!”
“Skyler is great with our puppy! She feels like she cares for our little guy like her own. She always send detailed updates and great photos and videos. We know our puppy is in good hands when she comes to watch him. We appreciate her warmth as well as her professionalism. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Laura was great with our cat and dog. They were well taken care of while we were out. She had good communication and let us know what was going on with the fur babies and made sure they got spoiled.”
“Marcia was absolutely amazing !!! I needed a sitter fast ! She scheduled the meet and greet the next day !!! She was very knowledgeable on dogs body language and very sweet!! She also took amazing photos of my baby that made me feel great when I woke up in the morning!”
“Allie did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that our cat was well cared for and comfortable. She was very responsive when we had questions, as well. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy when we returned. We highly recommend Allie!”
“Diego was absolutely amazing! He was very punctual, great at communicating with me and my dog was very happy. Thank you Diego for following all of our instructions exactly how we asked and spending time with our dog. I would definitely not hesitate to use Diego again.”
“First time using Rover, and Olga was amazing! Frequently kept me updated on Coopers status, including plenty of pics. Had the schedule this last minute and on Thanksgiving Day, and Olga was more than happy to help. Will definitely use her again in the future, and highly recommend.”
About: I have been a dog and cat sitting going on 5 years now. With 5 consistent families I catsit and dogsit for I make it my mission to make the babies and their parents feel safe, comfortable, and confident having me care for their loved one and in their home. I have my own kitty at home and have history with caring for both cats and dogs. I provide services walking and pet sitting. I am currently self employed so my days are very flexible. When I am working it is either at my store from 8-3 or at home. When pet sitting I adjust my schedule to your pet’s eating and bathroom schedule to assure that when they are with me that they are top priority. When I am pet sitting in a client’s home, I want their fur baby to feel familiar, comfortable, and safe in their own home. I always like to know their favorite hiding spots, favorite toys, and personality characteristics to assure I can make them feel safe and sound while their owner is away. Once my stay is over I always assure to leave everything better than I found it - taking out the trash, washing dishes, washing towels, sweeping, etc. to assure the owner comes home to a clean and tidy space so they can focus on relaxing with their pet when they come home :)!
“Jessica is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, she’s super helpful with being flexible around my weird work schedule and Jacks always seems to be in a great mood after a visit from her.”
About: Hi my name is Mackenzie, I would love to provide your fur baby with a comfortable, loving stay. I have one pitbull mix and 3 cats of my own. I have never met a pet that I haven’t gotten along with! I’ve grown up with pets in my home my whole life. I also used to have (he crossed the rainbow bridge) a paralyzed dachshund. I have experience with high energy dogs, strong dogs, temperamental cats - dogs and cats big and small. I understand what it’s like to have someone take care of of your babies, so I am very responsive and would be happy to send you pictures and updates. My dog, Monty loves to play, but also has awareness to know when a dog doesn’t want to interact. I’ve pet sat for tons of family and friends in the past, so I’d be thrilled to add your pet(s) to that list. I work remotely and have a full-time job. Most of my meetings are pre-planned so I have a good sense of my day and when walks can happen. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide love throughout the whole day. I have a small fenced in patio area that has a patch of soil and 2 fake grass pee mats for any urgent potty needs. I will always supervise outside while they are outside. I live in a town home, so I can easily separate my pets from yours if need be, but all of my pets are very friendly. I’m very thorough and take notes to make sure I get your fur baby’s needs exactly as they need them.
“Ashley has been so good to Dozer. She is his weekly companion for lunch time walks. She is quick to respond and communicates when she has a scheduling conflict. We have enjoyed Dozer's pics for every walk. Thank you Ashley!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sterling is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling
Zari is amazing! A true gem! I was really nervous about leaving my kitties, who are shy and hide from everyone, but Zari’s unmatched patience deserves 5 stars. It was a challenging weeks since my cats were hiding in a different spot, but Zari always went the extra mile by checking on them twice a day on some days and sending detailed updates and photos, giving us immense peace of mind while traveling. On top of that, she made time to clean the cats’ room and area and making sure that the cats were getting nutrition and using the litter box. She is a cat lover through and through. I cannot recommend her services enough.❤️
Victoria is truly the cat whisperer. I cannot recommend her enough. We needed someone to feed them while we were out and my kitties are always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we come home, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Our cats are also super shy, but with Victoria they come out to say hi. I also really appreciate is her communication. She consistently sends thoughtful updates and pictures, which always brighten my day and reassure me that they’re doing well.
June was a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for our 2 cats for 6 days. They're shy and didn't warm up to a stranger in that short time but we never worried about them or our home; the cats were fed and clean and safe, we received daily photos and reports, and June even cleaned one cat's throw-up from a rug and called us in real time when one cat was hiding (he promptly showed himself the next day). Our home was respected and secure as well. Thanks June!
Chelsea was great with taking care of our two cats again! She communicated any schedule conflicts with us before confirming the booking, was adaptable with new care instructions, was very accommodating with us when our travel plans changed, and even brought in our trash cans for us! Most importantly, our boys like her and we know they are getting the care they need. Thanks so much, Chelsea!
Vigneshwaran really goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are taken care of! He makes sure our cats have everything they need and plenty of love, in addition to providing plenty of photo and video updates. We always know our cats are in good hands when we go away!
Marcia did an amazing job watching my 2 cats while I was away for a weekend. She shared a lot of pictures showing them getting playtime, being fed, litterbox status, and water bowl status, and also videos. She also made time very quickly to accommodate my last minute request so we were able to have a meet and greet beforehand. Marcia was very prompt and showed up on time for every scheduled drop-in, and followed instructions to a "T". She was also kind enough to bring packages in without being asked, so they didn't sit out while I was gone.
Our cats absolutely love Elena! Our boy cat Ollie adores when Elena comes to see him, as evident in the many pictures and videos we get from Elena. Our girl cat Gracie is incredibly shy and very slow to trust anyone as she is a domesticated feral cat but after 3 separate visits from Elena she no longer runs and hides but comes to her for pets and purrs like crazy, safe to say Gracie adores Elena too. We look forward to having Elena care for them again soon. Thank you Elena for taking such great care and loving on our cats as if they’re your own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 15,689 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sterling. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sterling stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sterling. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
