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!

“Sean was great with our dear Azure. He was very knowledgeable and had all avenues covered for safety and protection while walking her. Great first experience for her! Thanks Sean”

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, meds, and giving each pet the love and care they deserve. As a student at the University of South Carolina, I have a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings in the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure. I have one friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, and I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own.
“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 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! I’ve always loved pets and I will ensure yours are treated expertly while in my care. I have plenty of experience with giving medications to pets as well so if needed, yours won’t miss their doses while you’re gone. I’m currently transitioning out of the army and spending time with my daughter who was born in January! I have plenty of time during the day to make sure your pets are well-cared for I really enjoy playing with both dogs and cats and will ensure any play or walking guidelines and training you do normally is followed while you’re gone

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: When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner. As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal. My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.

About: I care about animals, I care about not just keeping them alive but making sure they enjoy their lives. I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and I am my families go to pet sitter when they go out of town! I believe each animal has its own unique personality, likes and dislikes, and I enjoy figuring them out! I work remotely from my laptop, so if I’m staying at your home, I won’t have to leave for work! I do not work Saturdays or Sundays so I’m available sun up to sun down on those days for walking and/or check ins! Monday-Friday I have 5 hours off during the middle of the day, 11am-4pm in which I’ll be available. I care for pets by of course following every guideline you give me, but also by making sure they feel just as much love from me as they would’ve felt had you not left. So you can feel sure your pets won’t get too sad or lonely. (:

About: *A quick note!* Summer is wrapping up for those of us who work in the school district. I will be going back to work full time July 28th. I unfortunately will be limited to early morning visits & evening visits during the school week. I will remain available fully on weekends though! 😊 I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals. We currently have 3 large dogs, rats, guinea pigs, a hamster, a crested gecko, and parrots, so I’m experienced with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I work in the school district, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of availability during the summer months. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. If you have any pocket pets or exotic animals I also care for them! Please message me and we can discuss rates for them. I currently work full time in the school district and have summers off. During the summer I am available at any time. :) During the school year weekends are best, but I can do afternoon & evening visits. I will follow any instructions you have for your fur babies. I understand all pets have different needs and wants. Any communication about needs or wants for your baby will be taken care of.
“I have 2 dogs that needed to be walked while I recover from ankle surgery and she was available to walk my dogs twice a day for a reasonable price. She is patient and kind to them. One is anxious around people and she did not force herself on him. While the other is energized puppy in a 2 yer old body. He always get so happy to hear my door bell ring. I definitely will continue to use her whenever the occasion calls for it.”

“Delaney was kind and patient when walking our puppy. He was afraid at first because we had loud work trucks in our neighborhood on this particular day, but Delaney preserved and had a successful walk. Thank you!”

“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
