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.

But within about four or five minutes, Shy had a chance to smell Jo L and then she got hugs from shy lol great first introduction extremely happy with that visit ! If you’re looking for someone with experience and a lot of knowledge as well as caring and patient to help you watch your dog, I would strongly recommend Jo L !

Olivia is a very sweet person I was lucky enough to have take care of my precious cat Luna. She made sure she was well aware of her needs and went beyond her responsibilities by trying to just be a friend to Luna while I was away. I would recommend Olivia to anyone. 10 out of 10

Alayna took wonderful care of my energetic puppy Toby during the drop-in visit. Not many people can match his energy level but Alayna did such a great job and he was a worn out pup well after I returned from work! It is so nice to have a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter. Toby can't wait to run around with Alayna again 😁

About: Hi! My name is Lindsey, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for dog walks in the evenings and on weekends. I understand how important it is for dogs to get exercise, attention, and a break during the day, and I’ll always do my best to provide dependable, punctual care. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or an energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, preferred walking routes, and any special needs. I grew up caring for my own dog for 13 years and currently care for three cats and two birds, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ve also cared for relatives’ dogs and regularly help care for my boyfriend’s dog, Thor. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own pets.

Samantha is the best! We recently had the pleasure of working with Samantha, and I cannot recommend her enough. Leaving our two senior dogs, Iggy and Pip, in someone else’s care in our home was a new approach as we previously boarded them at pet hotels. They both have specific needs—picky eating habits, unusual routines, and require a bit of extra TLC due to their age. But Samantha handled everything with such compassion, attention, and professionalism that we were instantly put at ease. From our first conversation, she made the effort to really understand who Iggy and Pip are—not just their care instructions, but their personalities, comforts, and quirks. She was patient with Pip’s mealtime drama (he gets sick of different foods regularly) and attentive to Iggy’s anxious moments too. They each have their own routine, and she respected those down to the smallest detail. Throughout our time away, Samantha kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which made all the difference. We came home to two happy dogs who clearly felt safe and cared for in her presence. If you have pets who need a little extra attention or just want peace of mind knowing your dogs are in the best hands, Samantha is it. We’re so grateful to have found her—and so are Iggy and Pip.

Desiree took really good care of our cat. He usually hides when strangers come into the house. I was amazed that Desiree got so see him and even got a pet in. She also helped us when we needed her on really short notice the day before Thanksgiving, we were so relieved knowing she was looking after our baby and doing a great job.

About: I’ve cared for different kinds of dogs on a regular basis and for short periods of times as well. I can also check in on cats as well and feed them and make sure they’re okay. I work for the schools and I am currently on summer break right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have my own dog I care for as well but will definitely have the time to check in on your fur babies as well. I always check my backyard for critters before letting my dog out, especially at night. I personally get skunks in my area frequently and it’s a must. My dog has a doggy door and loves outside time but I always know where he is. I feed him and make sure he’s always comfortable. This is the same kind of care I would provide for your fur babies.

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 and kitten by myself that required extensive care 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. 💉 📆 My typical availability might be something like: M-Th evenings 6-9pm (I usually work my primary job M-TH 7am-5:30pm and almost NEVER available during these hours.) - *After those hours, FEEL FREE TO ASK IF NOT OPEN ON CALANDER* (I may arrive in medical scrubs), Friday afternoon 10am-3pm *FEEL FREE TO ASK IF NOT OPEN ON CALANDER* and most Saturdays / Sundays.✨ Sometimes I am more available and sometimes less... This schedule is not always definite but I will keep my calendar availability posted and up to date. *ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO ASK IF NOT OPEN ON CALANDER. I 'MAY' BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE* 📆 🏠 House sitting can also 'sometimes' be booked with notice if marked 'Unavailable' in my calendar. Feel free to ask. 🏠 ⚕️ 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 am certified in human CPR and hopefully animal CPR to come...)⚕️ 🐈‍⬛ I have always had a strong desire to work with animals and I am hoping to finally transition from human care to animal care but 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!

This was the first time Callahan looked after my pets, and she did a great job. She sent me photos and check in times and when I return, my pets were happy and while taking care of, I will definitely hire her to take care of my pets again when I’m out of town. Thank you very much Callahan for taking care of my babies.

Our big girl was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year and we couldn’t get family and friends to agree to give her her insulin shot when we needed someone to come let the dogs in and out and feed them on occasion. I turned to Rover to see if we could find someone to do it. I chose Lauren, and she was willing and able. She showed up right on time, and took care of the dogs for us. We will be scheduling with her again in the future and are very excited that we can do day trips again and not have to worry about our big girl getting her meds properly! Thanks Lauren, you are so very much appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

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

As of August 2026, there are 3,485 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sterling Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sterling Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.

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 sitter.
