From the first minute I spoke to Zoe, I knew that I had hired a great person to watch Flex and take him for a walk. She came over the night before and did a meet-and-greet. Flex had other ideas, but she communicated with me, which put me at ease. I highly recommend Zoe.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since middle school in my own family and for several friends throughout school. I can handle large dogs with gentle leads, choke collars, and harnesses. I also love to play and snuggle with animals if they are willing! I am currently a pediatric physical therapist who works M-Th, so I am very available for your long weekend getaways to look after your fur baby! I don't mind taking long walks with your dog since I love staying active. I live across the street from Hermann Park, and have a dog run accessible in my apartment complex. We have plenty of space for dog crates in my apartment, and I also have a big car for transporting animals if you feel comfortable with me doing that!

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: 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.

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!

About: I had my first pet at 15. Boxer girl named Lady. I loved her dearly. Since then I owned 2 cats , 2 dogs and 2 chinchillas. I’ve always felt lots of love for animals. I work part time. Usually until 11.30-12 pm 4 days/ week. So I have plenty of time to take care of pets in my care. I have a fenced yard. Pets are safe in my backyard to run and play. I take them in daily walks as I enjoy walking .

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sterling Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sterling Heights on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sterling Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sterling Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sterling Heights.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sterling Heights. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
