“Lindsay is the absolute best with our pups! She has been very patient with our rescue Great Pyr who has had separation issues and cancer. Our other little one is easy and hyper. She gives them love as if they were her own, thank you Lindsay!!”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“Theo had such a great time spending a few days with Ashley and her family! I received daily updates and photos. Her whole family kept him entertained. They have a huge fenced in backyard as well so Theo came back home exhausted from running around and from all the attention he received from her family:-) I will definitely be using her again. Thank You!”
“Another 5 star review for Monica! It has been almost a year since we last booked a rover, but even so, Beau was so excited to see Monica when we arrived. I know that my dog will be safe and loved in Monica's care. She provides pictures and fun comments, which are always appreciated. Monica is always my first choice on Rover and I could not recommend her more!!”
“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”
“Angela is communicative, kind and friendly. I’ve never used Rover before and I am so happy I did. My dog Sammy is high energy and a bit needy so I was nervous. But it worked out great and I was so glad to see everyday that Sammy was in great hands and having fun. A++++ THANK YOU”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Great communication and wobderful with my dog, Stella. It's clear when I pick her up based on her relaxed temperament for at least the following day that she got to play and run off some energy. Highly recommend!”
“Rachael took on a short notice booking for me and was communicative through my pup’s stay with her. She sent pictures as well. We were happy with our dogs care and would use her services again.”
“Tory was fantastic! She was available for us for a last minute stay and made time for a meet & greet before our Luna’s stay with her. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. Most importantly, I felt like she really cared about how Luna was doing and that she had a positive experience. Highly recommend and plan to book again in the future!”
“Angelina was absolutely wonderful watching our dog for a week while we were out of the country. She was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process so easy. She went above and beyond by sending frequent pictures and updates throughout our trip. It was clear from every update that our pup was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Angelina’s training experience and background made her an excellent fit for our Aussie/ border collie/beagle mix. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Pearl spent ten days wirh Steven and the stay went pretty well. I received videos of Pearl having so much fun and she came home just as she went in. I’d definetley reccomend Steven to others and will be using him in the future!”
“Olive had another wonderful stay with Cynthia. She was in great hands with Cynthia while still recovering from her dual leg luxating patella surgery. Cynthia did a wonderful job ensuring Olive stuck to her recovery guidelines and we can tell she took extra time and care to massage the leg Olive was favoring, as it was much improved when we came to pick her up.”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!”
“This was our first time boarding with Kara and it went fabulously! Rosie appeared happy and well cared for and Kara seemed so pleased with Rosie. Communication was easy as well as drop off and pick up. We will be booking again!”
“Deena went above and beyond — making sure our dog Simba was comfortable, well-fed, and well taken care of! It meant the world to us to have Simba watched over while we enjoyed our hectic wedding without any stress. Thank you Deena ❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sterling Heights
Lindsay & Lawrence were amazing. Lindsay was super responsive, She sent all kinds of updates and photos and videos daily. You can tell she loves the animals that she sits for and really cares about them. She made me feel like Trixie was staying with a family member and made everything as stress free as possible for us as overprotective pet parents. Next time I have to head out of town I will for sure be checking in on Lindsay's availability. I can't recommend her enough. 10/10. Thank you Lindsay & Lawrence for taking care of Trixie like she was your very own.
Ora went above and beyond for our puppy Captain!!! He’s like a baby to our family and she made adjustments to keep him comfortable! She sent us soo many pictures that helped us feel comfortable knowing he was safe and happy!!! She truly loves dogs and I would recommend her 1000%!!!
This is the second time Kshama has watched our puppy and she does such a great job. My puppy gets along so well with her dog and comes home happy and tired from all the fun she had. Kshama is great with updates so you know your pup is well taking care of. I would highly recommend.
This was our dog's first time staying away from us and Ashley and her family made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. From our initial meet and greet, to drop off and pick up, they were kind, welcoming, and communicative. Ashley's calm and confident approach with our boy and other dogs is one of the things I appreciated the most. Ashley sent photo updates whenever we asked and then some, which meant the world to us. We could tell our boy was well taken care of and when we need a dog sitter again they will be our first option!
Kyle was very professional and communicative before and during our dog’s first stay. We felt like we were leaving her in very capable hands. She seemed to have a great time going for walks and playing with him in his fenced backyard. She came home happy and calm, which is the best sign of a great stay. We will use him again and then highly recommend him to others.
We had a great experience with Giselle. Our dog, Oden was well taken care of. She followed our instructions as to how to properly care for him. Giselle even took the time to let Oden explore her home before introducing her 2 dogs. She took the time to play tug with Oden because she knows that is his favorite activity. Giselle sent plenty of photos and videos to reassure us that he was engaged, safe and having a pleasant experience. We really appreciate the time and effort Giselle put into watching our fur baby, Oden. Lastly, we love her fair, competitive pricing and we will book again. Thanks again.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sterling Heights on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,413 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sterling Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Sterling Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sterling Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sterling Heights home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sterling Heights.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sterling Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
