“Samantha took care of our two senior timid tabby cats via drop in visits for 10 days while we were out of town. She sent thorough updates with photos on their daily report cards so that we knew that everything was just fine at home and we didn’t have to worry. Samantha was quick to respond to any questions we had and easy to set up a meet and greet with. She was diligent about getting our girls their blood pressure medicine, even if it meant reaching under the bed when Spice was being shy. All around a great experience with Samantha and we will 100% be using her services again for future travel- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Sarah was amazing, did everything I asked and more. Asked questions I didn't even think of. She texted while at the house. Cause I asked her too and sent me pictures. I will definitely use her again and want her to move in”
“Mackenzie has provided an 5 star service! She is very good at communicating and has been so good with our two kitties. Plenty of pictures, makes us feel our girls are being taken care of while we're away!”
“Punctual, professional, and a life saver. I am so grateful to have found Sarah. She had the experience under her belt and the know how to take care of my newly diabetic cat. I was racked with guilt over leaving her, but knowing the good hands she was in, put my mind at ease!!!”
About: 🌞 I am always smiling brightly every time I have the opportunity to be with an animal. (I have many photos of this to share!) I love all types of these precious beings! 💗 Some of my life experiences include: Parenting Dogs, Cats, Kittens, Lizards, and Senior Pets. I have assisted in kitten birth and successfully bonded with, and adopted a feral kitten who (still) adores me... Yay! 😁 I have also cared for a very sick lizard and kitten by myself that required extensive care for a few long months. 🐿️ 🐴 All types of animals seem to be attracted to me, including... dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, donkeys, goats, possums, squirrels, etc. I love the saying, "If animals are drawn to you, it's not random. They can sense good energy and are naturally drawn to calm and safe vibes." 🐐 🐑 🐕 I have been a volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society and I am also a medical professional (for humans). 🐈 💊 *Disclaimer: My '30' years of experience is personal. 💉 📆 My typical availability might be something like: M-Th evenings 6-9pm (I usually work my primary job M-TH 7am-5:30pm and almost NEVER available during these hours.) - *After those hours, FEEL FREE TO ASK IF NOT OPEN ON CALANDER* (I may arrive in medical scrubs), Friday afternoon 10am-3pm *FEEL FREE TO ASK IF NOT OPEN ON CALANDER* and most Saturdays / Sundays.✨ Sometimes I am more available and sometimes less... This schedule is not always definite but I will keep my calendar availability posted and up to date. *ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO ASK IF NOT OPEN ON CALANDER. I 'MAY' BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE* 📆 🏠 House sitting can also 'sometimes' be booked with notice if marked 'Unavailable' in my calendar. Feel free to ask. 🏠 ⚕️ Since I am attempting to transition from human care to animal care, I still work full time (plus) in the Human Healthcare field and my work schedule varies. (I am certified in human CPR and hopefully animal CPR to come...)⚕️ 🐈⬛ I have always had a strong desire to work with animals and I am hoping to finally transition from human care to animal care but I prefer to interact with animals and enjoy what they bring to the world, rather than do restraining and invasive procedures on them. 🐶 I am pretty intuitive about what makes an animal happy (and not) and I would make their time with me as awesome as I possibly can! Additionally, I would happily engage farm animals, birds, and others to my full ability!
“Chelsey stayed at my house overnight and watched my 2 cats for 7 days. She did a great job, I know my cats and house were well cared for while I was gone. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the week as well. House was very clean when I returned, I barely even knew she had been there! Would absolutely hire again.”
“Caitlin was great with my cat while I was away! She sent plenty of photos and updates during her check ins and my cat seemed well taken care of upon my return. I would definitely use her services again next time I go out of town! Thanks Caitlin!”
“Amazing experience. Desiree and her husband took excellent care of my sick kitten. She needed meds round the clock and feeding and they took great care of her. They didn’t keep her in a cage and isolated her in a room where she could play free. They played and socialized with Muki and kept me updated. I hot regular texts and pictures. Highly recommend them. Kind and caring people.”
About: Hello, my name is Terry and I am currently working towards a biology degree for pre- veterinary medicine. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss how I can help! Hi, thank you for your interest, my schedule is subject to change. Contact me for my updated schedule. I may be occupied with pre made plans depending on the day. I have a fensed in backyard. I do not have any pets living in the house. There is a 11 year old girl that would keep your pet company under supervision.
“Olivia is a very sweet person I was lucky enough to have take care of my precious cat Luna. She made sure she was well aware of her needs and went beyond her responsibilities by trying to just be a friend to Luna while I was away. I would recommend Olivia to anyone. 10 out of 10”
“Book her now because Chamira is wonderful. We asked for 2x daily drop ins over a week to mange 3 cats and each visit was perfect. She sent us pics and notes with every visit.. more like a little story about each of our cats. She gave our diabetic cat his injection twice a day, made sure our littlest one got time at the faucet that she loves to drink out of and even left us some cute printed photos of our crew. Chamira is smart, polite and uses gentle techniques to help your animals get comfortable with someone new in their house. Wrangling cats is impossible but Chamira has it down.”
“Lindsey was great with my 3 cats one of them needing nightly meds. She communicated with me every visit and she took our trash out wacummed before we got home.”
“Genie is the third person we have hired from Rover and our FIRST repeat sitter, if that says anything! She is very professional, but more importantly, our 20 and 11 year young kitties feel comfortable and safe with her. We trust Genie and will continue to hire her to care for Mimi and Baby!”
“This is our 3rd time having Zoe come take care of our babies while we’re away. She’s reliable and dependable and it gives us peace of mind while we’re away knowing they’re in good hands! Thank you again, Zoe!”
“I was nervous about letting a stranger in the house. I chose Alayna after reading her long history caring for animals and the stellar reviews. She was so wonderful! I know my cat felt safe and cared for. She usually doesn't come out when new people come over, but in all the pictures she was downstairs playing with Alayna. I felt great about the experience and I will definitely use her again. She's very sweet, also.”
About: I’ve cared for different kinds of dogs on a regular basis and for short periods of times as well. I can also check in on cats as well and feed them and make sure they’re okay. I work for the schools and I am currently on summer break right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have my own dog I care for as well but will definitely have the time to check in on your fur babies as well. I always check my backyard for critters before letting my dog out, especially at night. I personally get skunks in my area frequently and it’s a must. My dog has a doggy door and loves outside time but I always know where he is. I feed him and make sure he’s always comfortable. This is the same kind of care I would provide for your fur babies.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Sterling Heights is $22

Genie was great, this was our second booking with her and unfortunately we are moving or we would be repeat customers going forward. Great communication, great pet sitting, I even asked my cat if she was good for Genie and my Kiki gave a very enthusiastic meow 😂
This was the first time Callahan looked after my pets, and she did a great job. She sent me photos and check in times and when I return, my pets were happy and while taking care of, I will definitely hire her to take care of my pets again when I’m out of town. Thank you very much Callahan for taking care of my babies.

As of September 2026, there are 1,659 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sterling Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
