“Sarah was on time and our little Miss Nellie loved her from their first meeting. Sarah is very prompt in her responses, and her report cards are great. I highly recommend.”
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.

Hi, thank you for your interest, my schedule is subject to change. Contact me for my updated schedule. I may be occupied with pre made plans depending on the day. I have a fensed in backyard.

“Lindsay has been coming over on the days that I work to let our puppy out and to spend quality fun time with her. Nora always looks very happy in the pictures and videos Lindsay sends. And we come home to a happy dog!”
“Alayna did a great job watching my dog Sully while I was away on a work trip. I told her before my trip that I wasn’t used to leaving my dog home on my adventures and that I was a little stressed about it. She reassured me with great detailed updates and pictures that Sully was happy and loved while I was away. She made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, cuddles, and food/water throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for other pet owners feeling a bit anxious to leave their furry friends, and I’ll definitely work with her again.”
“Desiree was great! Our babies were well taken care of the week we were out of town. We would definitely recommend her services and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Zoe did an excellent job with her drop in visit that included walking and playing with my pup while I was at work. Would highly recommend Zoe for taking care of your pup when you are away. Thank you so much again. Awesome job!”

“Samantha is our go to for drop in visits for our senior tabby cats. She is reliable, communicates effectively, and always sends photos with her updates. We highly recommend Samantha and will definitely use her in the future.”
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.

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 July 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 .

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:
- 94% 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.
