“My dogs Nimbu and Sona have stayed with Vicki and her husband multiple times and they always have the BEST time! They are so kind and respectful and always go above and beyond for us and our pups! They send the best photos and we absolutely love them! If you need to board your dogs you should ABSOLUTELY go with Vicki!!!”
“Christopher was the perfect host for my small dog. She fit in perfectly and was completely comfortable on first meet. His pets and my dog played well together. Christopher sent plenty of photos and provided updates. Thank you for taking my last minute request! I will definitely make Christopher my 1st choice when I need boarding services”
“Vinata and her family watched our two goofballs for a few days. They were extremely flexible and were able to flip-flop schedules when a bit of a family emergency came up. We appreciate knowing they are willing to help! And I’m pretty sure our dogs’ new BFF is their daughter!”
“Katrina is THE BEST! My Coco was taken care of so well! I received videos and pics everyday from her while I was on vacation and that made me very happy and comforted. Katrina deserves five stars! Thank you for all of your hard work. Definitely will recommend Katrina to anyone who wants their fur baby pampered and loved.”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Shane took very good care of my dog over the weekend. She sent tons of pictures. Even though my dog didn’t get along with her dog initially, she did everything she can to keep both of them happy and busy. Will definitely come back and recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 when my family got our first family dog. I would babysit and walk neighbor dogs for summer fun and a little extra spending cash. Now I have 2 rescue fur babies that I have had since they were puppies. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for play sessions and walks during most weekdays 9 am – 2 pm. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Long walks or short, new energetic puppy or senior slow time either is good with me. Safety and security are guaranteed.
“Thank you Jungmin, my family had a truly comfortable trip with your support. You kept us updated with photos from time to time, so we were able to travel without any worries. And it seems like Seoul also enjoyed staying with your dog, Taco. Thank you again!”
“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.”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”
About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
“Very good Milo had so much fun and we were so happy with service every day updating us with a lot videos and photos. Ilona’s and her whole family took very good care of our Milo thank you very much”
“Angela was very kind and very professional, as was her husband. She was prompt at responding every time I reached out and sent pictures every day of my pups so I knew they were safe and happy. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born! Your pup will be in great hands and will get all the cuddles from me and my dog Jett. Besides having a fenced in back yard to play, I live in the safe neighborhood of Huntington Woods and usually take Jett and visiting dogs on walks. I work from home and have plenty of time daily to give your dog attention! I tend to be home most of the time and if for some reason I need to leave, he will be with Jett. Dogs will be cared for like they’re my own. They will receive attention, proper food schedules, and plenty of down time cuddling and relaxing. The fenced in back yard provides an escape for the dogs to run around and play.
“Shelby and her family were amazing with our puppy. Her daughter and her two dogs were her play companions. This was our first time with rover and leaving our baby with anyone, but we would absolutely recommend Shelby. They were very accommodating with our early and late flights.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Sterling Heights is $45

Miranda and her family were amazing! They sent pictures and videos with updates throughout Moose’s stay, which I really appreciated! Moose seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time at their house, and he seemed to be very loved and well taken care of while I was away. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family! 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Dawn is amazing!!!!! She was able to get my puppy in last minute and keep her longer then we initially planned for Send messages every day And our puppy came home better than when we dropped her off. Learned new tricks and is better with her name I honestly can’t recommend someone more . Thank you so much Dawn
Lindsay was awesome! Provided regular updates and daily photos/videos. She was very thorough upfront about making sure safety and wellbeing of all dogs under her supervision are safe when bringing in a new pet. She was also very forthcoming when something small happened (not so good poop or throw up) which only builds more trust that she is giving your pup the attention you hope for. Our pup was happy as can be when we got him back. I would go to her again without hesitation!
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!
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 of Pet Boarding in Sterling Heights is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $54 per night. 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.
There are 1,438 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sterling Heights. About 92% of Sterling Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
