Couldn’t have asked for a better walker. He fit Logan into his busy schedule which meant a lot to me. I have tendinitis so I can’t walk my dog right now so trying to find someone to walk him in such short notice wasn’t easy. Definitely a life saver!

Misty was great! She cared for my two dogs for an evening at her house which has a fenced yard so they could be outside much of the time, which they love. She was very loving and caring, and took great care of them. Highly recommended!

About: I've care for my childhood dog since he was a puppy and all the way till his passing of old age. I have two sister's who all have doggies and they rely on me to care for them when needed. I know the importance of maintaining routine, identifying any triggers they might have, and being alert for any situation. I have a dog of my own, and through training him. i have learned a lot more then i knew before. But of course , you never truly stop learning. I'm excited to get to know each and every pet that i get the chance to meet. I work part time. I'm available 6 am to 10:30 am all days. Weekdays it varies. Some days I'm free until 4 pm. Other days I'm free 5pm till 10 pm. That is why i need a day in advance to know. I live alone with my dog, Zeus. he is super friendly with all dogs but i also have an extra bed room that is not used. whatever it is that you need me to do, i will do it.

Felisha is an absolute GEM 💎 she took such great care of our baby boy Maverick while my Aunt was watching him for us! I believe Maverick even walked better for Felisha then he does for my husband and I 😂 My Aunt couldn’t say enough great things about Felisha and stated ANYONE in the area that needed some help with their pup 🐶 should use her! Thank you so much Felisha we will definitely use you again!

Mackenzie is so good with our elderly dog. She patiently walks him at his pace and let him sniff all his favorite spots. We are very happy to have found a compassionate caring person to care for our dog when we can’t be there. We have also had an excellent experience with her watching him for a week at our home and are repeat customers.

About: I have experience with dogs of various breeds and ages ranging, who are most often from shelters or rescues. While I have 2 dogs of my own (shelter & foster), I have 5 years of experience fostering dogs who come directly from their rescue location who often need adjustment/bonding time, medical care & basic training (potty, crate, walking, etc.). The fosters I have cared for range from ages 3mo-8 years, and I am comfortable with senior care and rd ministering medication. I have experience with dogs who are more reactive. My work schedule allows me to be available during the week in the early morning or evening. During the weekends I am able to fill in afternoon slots for walks or a home visit! I have raised dogs with both fenced in and partially fenced in yards. Their off-leash time in the yard required supervision and thorough training to keep them engaged in staying in the yard. I walk my dogs on a leash and crate them when I leave the house.

About: I have been surrounded by the love of four paws my entire life between friends or family and my own sweet fur babies (and cute gecko). I have been trusted to care for others’ fur babies from dog walking to pet check-ins over the last 5 years. My love for all animals guarantees exceptional care (and lovings) for your pets! My flexible career schedule gives me plenty of opportunities throughout the week to provide mindful walks, attentive care, and lots of love for your fur baby! I am mindful of my surroundings at all times to ensure there is safety, which applies for your four legged friend as well with my attentiveness for their care.

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 have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as I had two in my home. I also started dog walking/sitting in high school. This was a way for me to connect with animals while also engaging in physical exercise. I love connecting with the animals and ensuring they are taken care of when their owner has limited time! I am currently in school full time, but am able to work 3 times a week, or however many days are needed. My schedule is pretty flexible! First and foremost, I respect the owners items. I don’t cross boundaries and I abide by the rules. If respect is shown it is reciprocated which is necessary when working with others. I ensure I clean up and leave the place as I found it or better!

About: From anxiety-ridden dogs to rough-playing kittens, I am the person to care for your pet! My approach is to understand your pet's personality, then strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I am a recent college graduate and doing freelance work from home. This gives me so much flexible time to care for your pet, weekday or weekend! I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I treat my clients' homes like my own. I am patient and understanding, making sure every pet I watch feels safe and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how much pets are missed while the owner's gone, so communicating with you, the pet owner, is a priority.

About: I am an animal lover! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am not here for the money but for your babies to have a great experience while you are away. Have had dogs and cats for most of my adulthood. After my last furbaby passed, I decided instead of getting another one, I would share my love with other people's fur babies. I would love to take care of your 4-legged family members and treat your babies as my own. My love and care are endless. I can stay and play with your beloved furbabies all day 7 days a week. Since I work from home, your cat/dog is guaranteed to have companionship around the clock, and I believe dogs and cats are happiest when humans accompany them and show them affection, and play with them. I do prefer your child/dog/cat to come with his/her own food because it's one less thing for them to adjust. I do however have treats and dog food if needed. I will adhere to your instructions to administer food and/or medicine. I work from home currently. So I should be around your fur babies 24/7 except for grocery or eating out when pets are boarding with me or house-sitting for you. I go to Church on Sunday mornings if the stay goes on Sunday. If you need me to drop in at your place or walk your dog, they can be arranged multiple times a day. I don't have pets or children so no worries about your fur friend fitting in. I will attend to your furball without distractions since I only take a single furbaby each time. I live next to a man-made lake, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, I always walk dogs around our neighboring park. So, no accidents should ever happen in this household indoors or outdoors. If I care for your babies at your place, I always respect your property and leave the house in great shape.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years through family, friends, and neighbors. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing exercise, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I currently have a mini goldendoodle who is enrolled in therapy dog training, which has given me additional experience with positive reinforcement and understanding canine behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays, allowing me to provide extra attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship during the day. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays and have full availability on weekends. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already part of my daily routine, and I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community in Bloomfield Hills with access to a dog park and plenty of walking paths, making it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. As a dog owner myself, my home is clean, safe, and designed with pets in mind. My mini goldendoodle, Marlow, is friendly and social, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing supervision, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests. I understand that some pets are most comfortable in their own environment, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care whether your pet is staying with me or I am caring for them in your home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pontiac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Pontiac on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 3,773 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pontiac. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Pontiac. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Pontiac.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
