“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!”


“Scott is doing such a great job taking care of my little 3 month old Boston Terrier pup! Im so thankful to know he's being cared for during my work hours and getting updates and pictures during the day is really helpful gives me such a peace of mind! Thanks Scott!”

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: Hi, I'm Jon! I'm a dependable pet sitter serving Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Troy, and surrounding areas. As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that pets are family and deserve loving, attentive care when you're away. I share my home with my friendly 4-year-old cat, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding animal behavior. Whether your pet needs companionship, feeding, playtime, walks, or drop-in visits, I'll provide personalized care based on their unique needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attention, comfort, and care while their owner is away. I prioritize consistency and communication so pets stay on their normal routine and owners have peace of mind. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client's home, I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, companionship, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, whether they enjoy lots of interaction or prefer a quieter approach. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away.
About: As a life-long lover of animals, I’ve taken care of my own cats, dogs, horses, birds and other small animals my whole life. I have recently begun pet sitting for others and find that I really enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend time with other people’s pets. I’m currently semi-retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets while you are away. I’d love to keep them company and make sure they don’t miss any meals while you are away. I will spend time with your pets in your home and send you daily photos so you can see how they are doing while you are away.

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.
“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!”

“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 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: I come from an animal loving family where pets are pampered and loved as family members. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and also had the pleasure of fostering many through the years. I look forward to walking your fur babies as well as dropping in when needed to help them stay comfortable, happy and loved. I am very flexible with my schedule and will work with you to make sure your pets are cared for as you want them to be. I'm currently available for walks as well as drop in visits to your home. I will care for your pets as I would my own and ensure they are safe and content.

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.

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.
About: I have always known the love of having a pet. Whether that was hamsters, reptiles, cats, dogs, and even hermit crabs. I have found love for each individual species, including snakes! I have been training my previous dog since I was 15 and was able to teach her to sit, shake, and release. I currently have a senior cat who is prone to seizures and is partially blind and deaf. I have been caring for him for 6 years now and he is my everything. I am currently pursuing my masters degree and am interning as well so my schedule can be tight sometimes! I will communicate with you if there are any scheduling conflicts. I can shift around my schedule where needed so let's talk more about what you need and we can work through it together to make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I can care for your best friend in whatever is best suited their needs. For my cat, Peanut, he receives oral liquid medication 3x a day at strict times. For my roommates cat who is also a senior, Fig, she receives a pill medication that is taken orally. I have experience in giving medication to animals. If an animal needs any special care, I will pay close attention to the instructions to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!

Stevie is wonderful with Hero and truly goes above and beyond. She spends time with him, is incredibly loving and even cleans and dries him after snowy walks. Hero adores her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Pontiac on Rover is $20.87 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,789 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:
- 93% 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.
