About: I aim to ensure that every dog in my care is taken care of to the fullest extent. Keeping your precious pet safe and loved is my duty. I know just how important dogs are in our lives, so ensuring they get the kind of treatment they get at home is essential. Loving dogs is something that comes second nature to me. Throughout my life, these pets have played a significant role. In my experience, I have watched/raised leader dogs for the blind, my dog, friends/family pets, and my girlfriend's dog often. I have 10+ years of experience working with this beautiful animal, both big and small. When taking on a new client, I'd like to schedule a meet and greet, whether online or in person; that way, we can ensure we're a good fit. That's very important to me, and also, getting able to talk will allow me to learn more about your pet and your care expectations; after all, who knows your pet more than the owner? Lastly, I love meeting new dogs, and they generally like to meet me, so I'd argue your pet, and I will get along incredibly. Being away from your best friend can be really difficult so I make it my goal to communicate as often as possible. I will make sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of all the fun your pup is having.

It was so comforting to know Mindy was here to take care and spend some time with Spunky. She is great!! Spunky is hard to care for being a diabetic blind deaf senior and Mindy did as great job. Thank you so much for caring for him. I will definitely call her again !!!

About: Hi! I’m 30 years old and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a house full of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—my mom always had rescues and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels. Today, I have my own adopted 16 lb mixed-breed dog, and caring for him has only deepened my love and experience with dogs. I’m confident handling puppies and energetic dogs, and I truly enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them attention and care. For safety reasons, I prefer not to work with dogs that are overly aggressive or difficult to manage. My experience is focused entirely on dogs, so I’m not the best fit for cats or other types of pets. I’m available to foster small dogs in my apartment. I work from home and I’m able to walk him/her 3/4 times a day. I’m also available for drop-in visits between 6 AM–8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I live in an apartment with a fenced area, which is great for safe outdoor time. I’m also happy to take your dog on walks outside around the neighborhood. I can feed, play with, and walk your dog, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

About: Being in the military my schedule may fluctuate but don’t be afraid to ask if I can fit it in my schedule and I’ll be honest with you. Pet wise I’ve owned anything from a hermit crab to a Australian shepherd, German Shepherd, parrot, cats and rabbits. For all services I provide I ensure the best service with consistent updates on your pets well being. I love pets of all shapes and sizes and I can match the energy to any dog or cat. A happy pet is one who is stimulated and I promise you will not be disappointed. I’ve had many dogs of my own and currently live with a 2 year old husky, my roommates. If you have any questions, comments, or special requests feel free to reach out and I’ll reply swiftly.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Arielle as our cat sitter, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, Arielle was not only professional but incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Her communication was stellar—each update felt like a warm check-in from a friend, complete with sweet photos and details that showed how well she got to know our cat’s personality. It’s clear Arielle treats her role with genuine care and heart. She took the time to understand our cat’s routines, quirks, and favorite toys, and her attention to those details made all the difference. When we came home, everything was spotless and our cats were calm, content, and clearly loved. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who brings both skill and kindness to the table, Arielle is a rare find. She didn’t just watch our cats—she cared. And that care showed in every thoughtful gesture.

About: I grew up with dogs, and owned one for many years. I love their company and their attachment. I am caring and passionate and pay attention that the dog stays healthy meaning good and healthy diet, exercise, play and maintaining a good hygiene. I am newly retired and have plenty of available time. And I can accommodate my schedule to satisfy any required routine, I am flexible too. With my experience I know how to take care of dogs. Safety is one of the key factors for taking care of dogs, walking outside for a dog is important for its health, but we need to make sure it is safe, keeping the dog in leash, watching what it does eat bad things on the way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid, and I haven’t taken care of a cat recently but I used to as well. I can feed, bathe, take out, give medicine, etc. I did just get a new job so I’m still working out my schedule but I’m completely available on weekends for sure as of right now! Anything else would need to be planned ahead. Every pet is different and some need more or different care than others. When it comes to giving them the environment they need, I’ll do anything to achieve it. Anything I can do to help make them comfortable, or make a pet parent comfortable, I’ll do.

I plan my schedule around their feeding times, exercise and companionship, ensuring they feel loved, safe and cared for every moment you’re away. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple days in a row, I treat their routing as my priority. When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel like part of my family from the moment they arrive. I create a safe, cozy space with their favorite toys, comfy bedding and plenty of love. I stick to their usual feeding schedule, give them daily walks and playtime. And keep them engaged with cuddles enrichment activities and gentle companionship. my home is pet friendly, secure and full of warmth so they feel right at home.

About: Ive taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl, now I have two of my own. I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful 15 month old little boy who just adores his furry brothers. Now that the weather is more ideal and my little one is getting bigger I’d like to start helping families in need again. I have a wonderful 6 year old Great Dane and a 3 year golden retriever.

I can stop by for a few dog walks a day, please keep in mind my child will be with me so I ask your dog is child friendly and okay with strollers! I will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends!! I am currently a stay at home momma. I can do daily walks, drop in visits 1-2 times a day. I am home majority of the days so they can frequently get potty breaks as my dogs enjoy sunbathing. I have a nice fenced in backyard they will get frequent potty breaks, willing to take walks as long as your pet is okay with strollers, can help with any typical food and water changes

Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

As of July 2026, there are 3,771 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pontiac. 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 Pontiac 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.

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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 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.
