“Kayla did a great job with our anxious dog. She came by for a drop-in visit, took her out in the backyard, gave her the treats we left, and set up dinner. Kayla was very communicative throughout and sent pictures, which we really appreciated given how anxious our pup can get with new people. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Kayla was awesome, I could not tell you how relieving it is to be able to leave my cats (one which needs oral medicines) knowing she was coming. She played with them everyday and never missed anything. I enjoyed the photos provided and hope she can come back next time the cats need her! 1000% recommend.”
“Lynne was great! We were out of town for our wedding and of course our litter robot was acting up. She assured us everything was handled and that we didn’t need to worry at all. We would highly recommend her and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of my dog for several months, kept up with his training and spend time playing. Puppies need extra attention to grow into healthy adults. Adults need just as much affection and some play time. I work full-time weekdays but I am available in the evenings. Saturdays are free for me to play with dogs and take care of them. I can manage keeping up with a dogs training and take care of their needs at the same time! Who needs their dogs loved on or watched over?
About: I’ve been around all animals almost all my life and have always had the biggest love for them. I have also worked at veterinary offices and love almost every part of it :) I am currently doing online courses for school at skagit valley college and have an open schedule to help out with any type of animal care :) I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs would love and hardwood floors inside my house for when they are inside. I am fully capable of taking care of the animals however wanted :)
About: I currently live in a home with four dogs, two horses, and two cats, so taking care of animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds like labs, heelers, terriers, and Pitbulls, Labs, Great Pyrenees, Shepards, heelers, terriers, pit bulls, and Mastiffs. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m very active, love taking my pups out on runs and hikes. Whether its playtime, feeding, cleaning up, or just giving them attention and company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know every animal has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering medication when needed, so I’m happy to follow any special care instructions. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to work around what your pet needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, evening visit, or overnight care, I’m happy to communicate and find a schedule that works for both of us. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to stick to their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention while you’re away. I understand life has obstacles and I’m very flexible to your needs, commitments, and changes! I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or just spending quality time with them. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I’ll treat them with the same love I give my own animals. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs, but I enjoy caring for pets of all sizes and personalities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling
Ratih took incredible care of our two dogs: Jasper and Bella. We received updates and photos of our pups. It was obvious when we got home that she spent time feeding them (Bella is a little finicky), walking them, and playing with them. When Ratih stopped by to drop off the keys both pups ran to her for loves and hugs. Bella is usually a little shy but not with Ratih. We highly recommend Ratih to take care of your fur babies when you go out of town. We will definitely utilize Ratih in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sterling is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 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 November 2026, there are 1,542 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sterling. 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 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:
- 90% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
