About: I’m a dog lover who is mature and trustworthy. I have owned dogs for most of my life and also enjoy being around them. I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote most of my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, or more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since about 8 years old. When I was a junior in high school I started working at a local vet clinic. Once I graduated I continued my education at Kansas State University to peruse an Animal Science degree. I work most weeks Monday-Friday 8am-3:30pm. I am a para educator at a preschool so I do have all federal holidays off as well as sporadic days off for teacher trainings etc that can vary so I can be flexible at times.

“An excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and very responsible with feeding and playtime. We received regular updates - photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. Would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. From small lap dogs to large breeds, I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and family have often trusted me with their pets because I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is already built into the way I live. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention are second nature to me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve while their owner is away My goal is to make your pet feel like their routine hasn’t changed, even while you’re away. I follow the instructions you provide, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and be themselves. At my home, I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who started dog walking through Rover and quickly realized how much I enjoy spending time with pups and getting them out for a fun walk. I currently work full-time, so my schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I’m not able to commit to a standing weekly walk every week. However, I do have availability for one-time walks and occasional or recurring walks when our schedules line up. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help out here and there, I’d love to meet your pup! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, exercise routines, and special care instructions. And a special note for Great Dane parents: I absolutely LOVE Great Danes! 🐾 I’d be especially excited to meet and walk your gentle giant. 😊 Whether your pup needs a good walk while you’re busy, some extra exercise, or simply a little attention and companionship, I’d be happy to help when my schedule allows. Feel free to reach out with the days/times you need, and we can see if we’re a good match! I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.

About: To be completely honest, our home operates on a strict policy of maximum fun and zero boredom. My Belgian Shepherd is are high-energy, Olympic-level players, meaning your fur baby will always have a partner for zoomies, tug-of-war, or aggressive backyard scouting. For the Energetic Pups We run, jump, and play until they forget what a couch even looks like. & If your dog prefers to just watch the chaos from a comfortable distance, they will be showered with endless belly rubs, ear scratches, and VIP treatment ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Whether they are here for daycare or an overnight boarding sleepover, I promise to treat your dog like absolute royalty (and send you plenty of goofy photo updates to prove it). Book a stay and let the fun begin! ❤️ I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. Summer times the balcony door stays open so theyre free to come in and out. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog with frequent potty breaks per your request, just inform me before hand.

About: I've been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. At one point, I owned two cats and two dogs simultaneously, giving me plenty of hands-on experience managing multiple pets with different personalities and needs. Currently, my partner and I have two dogs: a 2-year-old Husky/Staffordshire Terrier mix and a 10-year-old Staffordshire Terrier. Through training and daily care, they have become well-mannered companions who are leash-trained and respond to a variety of verbal commands. Because I have my own dogs at home, I do not offer boarding services. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits and house sitting, which allows me to give your pets my full attention while my partner cares for our dogs. I am also experienced in caring for pets with medical needs. Over the years, I have cared for animals with health conditions including kidney issues that required frequent bathroom breaks, accident management, and extra monitoring. I have also cared for a diabetic cat that required daily insulin injections, so I am comfortable administering medication and following specialized care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra care, I will treat them with patience, compassion, and respect. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I'm an animal lover through and through (although reptiles aren't really my specialty!), and I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. 🐾 I work in person Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and remotely on Fridays. On remote work days, I can provide extra companionship, supervision, and walks for pets who enjoy having someone around throughout the day. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet's individual routine and needs. Whether your pet requires extra attention, medication, frequent potty breaks, or simply some company while you're away, I'm happy to help. I welcome all inquiries and am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe the best pet care starts with clear communication, so I appreciate detailed instructions and maintaining an open line of communication before and during every booking. Whether your pet has specific routines, behavioral quirks, medication needs, or favorite walking routes, I want to know all the details so I can provide the best care possible. I currently have two dogs of my own with my partner, so I do not offer boarding in my home. However, I am available for house sitting, overnight stays, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Staying in your pet's familiar environment often helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent while you're away. I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Pontiac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pontiac is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,698 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pontiac. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pontiac choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , 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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Pontiac with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
