“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”
“Grant is a great guy. He treated my dog as if he was his own. Grant is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adores him and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see him interact with your dog that it is not just a business to him, it is his love.”
“Tetyana is the best of the best! She goes above and beyond each time to love on my dog and make sure he feels safe and relaxed. She sends pictures and tells us about his day, which makes leaving him a little easier.”
“Always a wonderful experience for our Bailey! She always enjoys her time with Elaine, and we love the pictures she sends us so we have peace of mind being away from her.”
“Daniella and her family were so kind to our older dog, Josh. We had a family wedding out of the country and they took such great care of him. We loved getting the updates every day and meeting this special family! I’d recommend Daniella to anyone needing dog care.”
“Kayla is trustworthy and super loving with my Bella. Bella comes home happy and even more spoiled. Kayla is accommodating and cautious about your pet while in her care. Recommend her a 1000%.”
“Bradley was amazing at watching my puppy Ivy who has some special needs. He sent pics throughout the whole time watching her & assured me she was doing great. Will definitely be returning if needed in the future 😊”
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.
“Annmarie was excellent and I trusted her 100% with my dog! She had great communication with me and was very quick to respond to me through the app! My dog looked happy in the photos and updates she sent and when I picked him up! She has years of experience with dogs and you can tell! I do highly recommend her and feel lucky to have another safe pet sitter for the future!”
“We were so excited to book Cynthia for the long Thanksgiving weekend while we went out of town to see family! We have booked Cynthia multiple times and trust her completely with our pup Sonny! She takes great care to create a warm, interactive, and safe environment and to incorporate Sonny’s normal routine into her space. We love receiving daily updates from Cynthia with the best photos to make us feel assured during our time away. She truly is a Star Sitter! ❤️🐕🐾”
“Laura was able to watch our dog for us last minute. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and easy and she was excellent about keeping us updated and sending photos. I would definitely board with her again.”
“This was the first time we left our dog, Bruno, with Christina and will do it again when needed if she is available. She has a sweet disposition and took great care of him. She sent us pictures of Bruno to show us he was doing well. Bruno was happy to see us and I’m sure he would not mind spending time with her and her dog, Lilly, again in the future. Totally recommend Christina as a pet sitter if you need one!”
“William is absolutely amazing!!! I had a last minute work trip for a month and was really worried about what I was going to do with two of my puppies and he put my mind at ease instantly. They had such an amazing time in his home and even went on a few fun adventures as well. He sent lots of updates including pictures and videos. I will definitely be using his services again! Thank you so much William!!!”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“First time we used Rover.com and first time we were away from our dog. I think he had some anxiety but Lyndsey and Justin were great with the whole process.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pontiac
We’ve used these sitters to dog-sit our guy about five times now, and they are absolutely incredible. We feel completely safe and at ease leaving our dog with them, and he genuinely loves being there. They are attentive, caring, and treat him like family. They even provided amazing care right after his surgery, following all instructions carefully and making sure he was comfortable and safe during recovery. I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for trustworthy, loving dog sitters who truly go above and beyond, these are the folks you want.

There are 1,602 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Pontiac. About 93% of Pontiac sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
