“Angela and Dave are ANGELS! They cared for Tasha as if she were their own baby! Not only was the care and companionship above and beyond, they made the extra efforts to contact me on any concerns/clarification, welcomed me to thrir home to swing by and check on Tasha, and texted daily photos, videos, and messsages!!!! They made Tasha feel like she was at the spa! I’m DEEPLY touched and EXTREMELY blessed by their efforts and care!!!! I will Definitely contact them for my future trips to Michigan!!!”
“Joan of Bark stayed with Anna and it was great - sometimes Joan gets nervous and doesn’t eat or drink well, but Joan felt comfortable and was eating all her meals and drinking early in into her stay!! We got tons of pictures and updates which always helps. We would highly recommend Anna!”
“She is really awesome! It is my first experience and my dog needed boarding immediately because of my business travel. but she responded very quickly even if I requested about 7am. It was very appreciated. She also has a dog and cat. They were very nice to him.( Thank you guys!) Her house condition was good enough for boarding dog. Clean and organized. I am so happy to find perfect place at once. I think I am lucky.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was 10. Whenever I visit friends and family, I always show the dogs all the love, because they deserve it 🥰. I can handle anything from big dogs as well as the little ones with small dog syndrome! Im currently in medical school so I can spend plenty of time and walk between study session. My family is also often home to provide extra love and care for your pet! I always respect and follow any directions from the dogs’s owner. The well-being of all animals, including dogs of course, is very important to me.
“Elaine was great with our little goldendoodle, Daisy! She was available for a meet-and-greet before Daisy’s overnight stay, which helped us feel confident and comfortable. Elaine sent updates about how Daisy was settling in and doing, which we really appreciated. Her fenced yard was perfect for Daisy, who loves to run and play. She was also very friendly and welcoming—which helped Daisy since she was a little nervous at first. Elaine had lots of supplies on hand like bowls, toys, and crates if Daisy wanted or needed them. Communication was super easy—Elaine was quick to respond and kept us in the loop. Daisy also enjoyed having occasional playmates during her stay—it added a little extra fun to her time there. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely book again!”
“Brittnie was great. She communicates all the time and sent plenty of pictures with the updates. I could not have been happier with her service and I highly recommend her.”
“Linda was very good about watching over my little Duncan! He got along great with her other 2 dogs and everything went really well. She sent me many photos so I knew that my dog was fine.”
“You can tell Odin had such a great time during his stay! He had great walks, relaxing time and some extra dinner :) The recaps at the end of the day made us feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend and book again!!”
“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!”
“Lynn was very knowledgeable with dogs and very conscientiously followed my instructions. She welcomed using Cooper’s own bed for his comfort, and even suggested a piece of our clothing to ease any anxiety, since this was our guy’s first visit. Lynn communicated with me regularly to keep me informed, and sent a few pics as well! Nice knowing Cooper was well cared for.”
“Erin was very nice, professional and easy to get a hold of. My boy Opie can be quite a handful and Erin did a great job with him. I could tell he got plenty of exercise and play time as he slept for two days straight when he got home! Thanks again, Erin! We’ll be back!”
“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.”
“Michaela is wonderful! She boarded my cat, Zoe for about two weeks. Michaela is very responsive, and it’s clear that she truly loves animals. I felt that Zoe was very well cared for, and she was happy, and not lonely while I was away. Michaela also periodically sent photos of Zoe, which were adorable. Thank you, Michaela!”
“I am so happy to have found Anthony. Izzy has stayed with him a couple of times for the day - and now just completed almost a week of stay. Izzy loves other dogs and had good, safe socialization. The house is perfectly suited to dogs with indoor and outdoor areas of play. Anthony also kept us updated daily with pictures. Izzy came home happy and properly tired. I highly recommend Anthony!”

There are 1,640 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.

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.
