“Linda was amazing to our dog Murphy. He was excited to play with her dog and her children. Loved getting the pictures to see what he was up to. He came home happy and exhausted. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have cared for my grand dogs and friends’ dogs for years. Our whole family will shower your dog with love and attention! We love to send pictures of the dogs having fun or napping on the couch! I am a stay at home, home-schooling mom who has lots of time in our home to care for your dog. We are home most of the time available to give your dog all the attention they need. I have a fenced in yard. My kids love to make friends with dogs that we have watched. We have a large dog crate available if your dog is crate trained. We take their care very seriously and follow owners requests and directions.
“We had great experience with Kadi. She is very loving and caring person. Our dog Milo enjoyed at her place and was very happy as he got friends there to play with ( Kadi’s 2 dogs) . She kept sending updates and pics. She followed all the instructions perfectly. We love her.”
“Kayla was so amazing with our cat! she communicates very quickly and sends lots of updates :) I felt so at ease and safe leaving our little kitty with her ❤️ Will def be rebooking in the future !!!!”
“I am very thankful for Tanuja for taking my Lucy on a last minute request to board. She was so flexible and very accomodating and it was a very pleasant dealing with her. On the day of boarding she will give constant updates, she will send plenty of pictures (great pics of Lucy together with their cute dog Mochi). Her husband Kumar helps her out with the doggies and they treat your dog like their own. They are not only great dog sitters but also really nice persons. I will definitely have them take care of my Lucy if the need arises . I would highly recommend Tanuja and Kumar (plus Mochi) to take care of your fur baby.”
“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”
“I had a great experience with Cody and would absolutely book with him again. Throughout my dog’s 6-night stay, I received updates and photos on days 1, 3, and 5, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog can be pretty anxious, especially in new environments, but Cody handled him with patience and care. When I picked him up, I could clearly tell he had grown comfortable and even formed a bond with Cody, which says a lot. He was nervous at drop-off, but it was reassuring to see how much more relaxed and at ease he was by the end of his stay. Cody created a safe, welcoming environment and was easy to communicate with throughout the process. I really appreciated the attention given to my dog’s needs and overall well-being. Thank you again for taking good care of him—I’d definitely trust Cody with my pup in the future.”
“last minute booking but felt super comfortable as mowgli had an amazing experience the last time with angelina and her family! i was so grateful for the picture updates and consistent communication.”
“Another great stay with Karina and Family. Chester loves being outside in the yard and I appreciate the pictures and updates! He’s always well cared for and we continue to use their service!”
“Sogol was a wonderful sitter for our scaredy cat, Topanga. She made sure to give Topanga her own quiet space and spent lots of time with her while she acclimated to her new surroundings. She sent lots of videos and pictures throughout her stay. We are so happy we opted for Sogol, Topanga had a great time!”
“Absolutely ❤️ Latara and Taylor does too!! I received text messages and pictures of Taylor while in LaTara’s care. Taylor felt right at home with LaTara’s family! Taylor received sooo much love and attention (aka spoiled). Thank you for caring for my fur baby!!! I highly recommend Latara and will us her again for future bookings.”
“Catherine was very good to Mojo! It’s always a little nerve wracking to leave your pup at a new place for the first time, but Catherine made my dog feel right at home. I would definitely use her again for dog sitting.”
“I was worried that My dog would be too energetic but Britnie took care of Cruz so well! He was definitely so love & well taken care of. She send me photos and kept me updated on him. A+++++ will definitely book my dog with Britnie again! Thank you so much for making our first dog daycare so smooth!”
“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving KodaBear with Dawn and her family. We received pictures and texts confirming he was doing well. Their daughter allowed Koda to snuggle at night! I think Koda misses Rambo!! We highly recommend this family!”
“Cheri is great with Vinnie! I never have to worry when I’m out of town that Vinnie is safe and enjoying his time with her family! I love the updates she provides and the love/attention Vinnie receives.”

Flexibility & First Impressions She was able to take Chico in last minute, which helped us tremendously. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, and welcoming. Chico seemed comfortable with her right away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Comfort & Safety One thing that really stood out was that Chico had his own room during boarding. It gave him a calm and comfortable space without being placed in a cage. I was originally hoping he would be able to interact with other dogs, but Orawan explained that one of her dogs does not do well with others, so she kept them separated. I appreciated that because it showed she was responsible, careful, and honest about keeping everyone safe. Extra Care & Attention She also went above and beyond by helping Chico feel more comfortable with his food. She added some of her own cooked chicken to his meals, which helped him eat better and feel more at home. That extra care meant a lot. Communication & Updates The communication was excellent. Right after I walked out the door, she started sending updates. Throughout the stay, she sent a tremendous amount of photos and updates every day, which I loved. I never had to wonder how Chico was doing because she kept me informed every step of the way. Final Thoughts Overall, Chico stayed comfortably, was well cared for, and I felt confident he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Orawan to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and communicative sitter.
Dawn was absolutely wonderful with Bentley over the 4th of July holiday! He was a bit timid staying in a new place, but Dawn was incredibly accommodating and made him feel right at home. She gave him the perfect amount of attention to help him settle in and stay comfortable. Bentley also needed daily medication, and Dawn handled his dosage schedule perfectly without any hesitation. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care for those 5 days. Highly recommend!
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.

There are 1,479 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sterling Heights. About 93% of Sterling Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 pet, 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.
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.
