“Amazing!! Our doodle loves going to Kellie’s to hangout with her doodle and her kiddos. She does a great job accommodating and keeping us updated with pics. We’ve used her twice now and will continue to do so!”
“I had a great experience with Amy as my dog sitter! She took such good care of Snickers and made sure he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how flexible she was with the pick-up and drop-off timings—it made things so much easier for me. Snickers seemed completely at ease with her, and I could tell he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Kristen was AMAZING. We are so incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover and will for sure use her again. She took great care of our dog and sent daily updates. We cannot thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind when we take a trip.”
“Blue had a great stay at Vicki and William’s house! They are both so kind and I felt no worries at all when leaving him in their care. The amount of communication, updates, and photos are amazing and are so helpful when I miss my pup. Their dog Bentley is also very sweet so I’m glad Blue has a friend!”
“Laura was amazing! I was in town for a wedding and she was able to watch my pup so I could be more actively involved in the festivities. She sent so many photos and updates. I never once questioned whether my pup was safe or having fun. He received so much love and attention, and I will be sure to rebook with her the next time we are in town! Wholeheartedly recommend.”

“It was a pleasure meeting Deena. She had a lovely sign in her living room welcoming us on the evening we arrived. She made Winston feel right at home. We look forward to having Deena watch Winston again.”
“Kara was able to accommodate my dog Dobby on really short notice. My dog has really bad separation anxiety and Kara let him sleep in bed with her *cue tears*. Kara was super quick to respond with updates and sent pics. Both Kara and her dog Nellie were welcoming and made him feel so comfortable. Nellie and Dobby played and had so much fun I think he was a little sad when we got home. :P 10/10 would book with Kara and Nellie again!”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”

“We had the best experience possible boarding our rescue dog Maisie with Sam. She gave her so much love and attention! She also carefully followed all our instructions about medications, feeding, and behavioral issues. We received daily updates and cute photos. Sam is so knowledgeable about canine behavior and even did some training with Maisie. We felt so confident that our dog was in excellent hands and could enjoy our trip without any worries.”

We were running late to drop him off and then had a family emergency that delayed us picking him up a few hours later than planned.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,445 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 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.
