“Zoe was very kind and took good care of our baby Luna while we were away on a weekend trip. She did a good job of communicating with us and taking pictures and sending us updates. We would definitely have her come over again in the future!”

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.
“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!”
“Julia did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative and I felt like I could relax while traveling knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
“Alayna did a great job watching my dog Sully while I was away on a work trip. I told her before my trip that I wasn’t used to leaving my dog home on my adventures and that I was a little stressed about it. She reassured me with great detailed updates and pictures that Sully was happy and loved while I was away. She made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, cuddles, and food/water throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for other pet owners feeling a bit anxious to leave their furry friends, and I’ll definitely work with her again.”

“Desiree took really good care of our cat. He usually hides when strangers come into the house. I was amazed that Desiree got so see him and even got a pet in. She also helped us when we needed her on really short notice the day before Thanksgiving, we were so relieved knowing she was looking after our baby and doing a great job.”

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.
“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”

About: Skilled dog walker with many years of experience. I will treat your fur babies just like they were mine. I can give meds if needed. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time for those furry friends. I have a morning routine in my home of getting up and feeding the dogs and cats. If the weather is permisable, I take our 2 dogs on a walk. Afterwards, I can begin my day. I come to my clients home and take care of their beloved babies. While I stay at my clients home I treat it just like mine and make sure everyone is safe.
“Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!”

“Sarah was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you for taking the best care of my boy Bruce, and we’ll definitely be reaching out in the future 🙂”


“Samantha was excellent as always! This is our fourth or fifth time having Samantha care for our senior cats and we never have to worry. She communicates after each drop in, messages with questions, and makes sure our girls get their meds even if they’re hiding. We will continue booking with Samantha and highly recommend her!”


About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a pet handler supervisor with professional experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Working in a pet resort has given me hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. What sets me apart is my professional background. I’m comfortable reading animal body language, recognizing signs of stress or illness, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for multiple pets with different needs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or companionship while you’re away, you can feel confident they’re in experienced hands. I believe communication is important, so you can expect updates and photos during every visit. My goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾❤️ I have daytime availability and love being able to spend that time caring for animals. My schedule allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins while keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Working as a pet handler supervisor has given me the experience to confidently care for pets with different personalities and needs. ❤️ I provide care in my clients’ homes through reliable check-ins and walks that help keep pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding instructions, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific care preferences you provide. During visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll take the time to build trust, respect each pet’s personality, and provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. 🐾 With my experience as a pet handler supervisor, I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand how important patience and attention to detail are.
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 who required a lot of care by myself 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, not professional. 📆 My typical availability might be something like: M-Th evenings 6-9pm (I may arrive in medical scrubs), Friday afternoon 10am-3pm and some Saturdays and Sundays.✨ This schedule is not definite, not always available and varies. Sometimes I will even be available other times. I will keep my calendar date availability as close to accurate as possible but times can't be scheduled daily so they won't be accurate in my calendar, unfortunately. 📆 🏠 House sitting can also 'sometimes' be booked with notice if not marked 'Unavailable' in my calendar, even though that service is not activated in my profile. 🏠 👍🏾 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 have always had a strong desire to work with animals and I am hoping to finally transition from human care to animal care. I did not choose to work medically with animals as my career because 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!
“Samantha is wonderful with the dogs. You can see how much she really cares for animals. The photos and updates she sent were fantastic. I can't wait to book with her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of various animals big and small since I was young. I have experience with puppies, sick dogs and nervous ones. I have also worked with cats too! I work part-time and go to university. I am a commuter so I’m all over Metro Detroit! While my schedule changes each semester I keep relatively the same structure and availability! I like to maintain a clean environment and keep pets healthy. I have experience administering medication such as pills and I am able to accommodate any special needs of pets :)
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 10 and have always had one or two dogs living in my house. I've raised several dogs and cared for them from puppy stages to their senior years. I've owned and cared for many breeds from golden retrievers to pitties, Chihuahuas and shepherds. I have never met a dog that hasn't become my friend. I run my own business in the evenings during the week but am available before 4pm during the weekdays and can be available all day on weekends. Your house your rules, tell me exactly how you want your dog cared for and I'll have no problem providing that service. From walks to playing with them in a yard to cleaning up after them.

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 July 2026, there are 1,642 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.

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.
