About: I have loved animals my whole life and began pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to drive. My first job was at an animal shelter so I have experience with dogs of all sizes. Through pet sitting I have cared for rabbits, dogs, cats, lizards, fish, horses, and turtles. I am a dog mom to my sweet Violet and have previously adopted two cats. I cannot wait to love your animals as if they were my own! I am currently unemployed since recently moving here so I am available all days of the week. Just send me a message to confirm my availability! I sadly cannot pet sit at my own home due to my dog having severe anxiety around other animals but I would love to do pop ins, overnight watch, or simply walk your pets. Whatever your pet needs are, I will do my very best to meet them!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was three years old, and I’ve loved every whisker, wag, and wiggle along the way. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even fish — if it has paws, fur, or fins, it’s had a place in my home and my heart. Over the years, I’ve gained hands‑on experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering medication and supporting pets through illness, always with patience and gentle care. I treat every animal like family, because that’s exactly what they’ve always been to me. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or just a friendly face, I’m here to make their day brighter and keep their tail wagging. I’m available throughout the day to stop by and give your pets all the attention they need — whether that’s a quick visit for pets and love, a longer hangout, or a nice walk to break up their day. I’m flexible with timing and happy to provide extra check-ins if your furry family member needs a little more company or care. At home, my pets are truly family, and their care reflects that every day. I feed my German Shepherd, Grischa and Boxer mix, Elsa, every morning and evening with their vitamins, fish oil, and allergy medication, and my cat Brey gets his meals on the same schedule. I scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, and the dogs enjoy multiple trips to our fenced backyard — staying out as long as they want when the weather is nice. They get healthy treats throughout the day, but only after a good shake, spin, stay, or another fun trick. Caring for them is part of my routine and one of my favorite parts of the day.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and we currently own 2 cats and a dog which we trained since we adopted him as a puppy!

Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all different sizes, energy levels, and personalities since I was 9 years old. I grew up in a home with six dogs, including an Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, English Bulldog, Husky, Pitbull mix, and Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and their individual needs. I recently moved into my own apartment and now have an Australian Shepherd puppy of my own! I’m experienced with walking, bathing, feeding, playing with, and comforting dogs, and I truly love making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a nurse, so my schedule can vary from week to week, but I always keep my Rover availability updated! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I provide personalized care based on your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, bathing, and medications if needed. I’ll follow any specific instructions you leave for me and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to whatever works best for your pup!

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have always been around them, even as a child. My family owns a senior 70-lb golden retriever, and while I was in graduate school for two years, I had the opportunity to care for him full-time while my family was traveling. I handled his daily walks, trips to the dog park, playtime and socializing with other dogs, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and companionship! I also have a furry five year old mixed husky and alaskan malamute and she is right around 65lb so I’m comfortable with larger dogs (or any size for that matter) and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! More than anything, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me. I just graduated from Physician Assistant school and am looking for a part-time job while I wait for my position to start in January 2027! I have a very open schedule from Monday-Friday and some weekends. I will prioritize every dog's safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I’ll provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water and anything else they may need. I’m a very organized person and will be respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy! Most importantly, I’ll treat your furry companion with the same care, patience, and love I would give my own!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pontiac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Pontiac on Rover is $15.05 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,017 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:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
