“Felisha is the BEST pet sitter hands down!!! She remembered EVERYTHING I explained and asked her to do during our meet & greet. She took unbelievable pictures and left me brief, detailed notes of each visit. Her experience and professionalism is beyond compare.”
“Gabrielle was great! She was able to help us out last minute and was super thorough and communicative the whole time we were gone. Dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I've care for my childhood dog since he was a puppy and all the way till his passing of old age. I have two sister's who all have doggies and they rely on me to care for them when needed. I know the importance of maintaining routine, identifying any triggers they might have, and being alert for any situation. I have a dog of my own, and through training him. i have learned a lot more then i knew before. But of course , you never truly stop learning. I'm excited to get to know each and every pet that i get the chance to meet. I work part time. I'm available 6 am to 10:30 am all days. Weekdays it varies. Some days I'm free until 4 pm. Other days I'm free 5pm till 10 pm. That is why i need a day in advance to know. I live alone with my dog, Zeus. he is super friendly with all dogs but i also have an extra bed room that is not used. whatever it is that you need me to do, i will do it.
“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”
“Scott was awesome. So grateful that he stopped in to care for my dogs. He was hired for 4 days. Had very good communication. Took photos every day. My dogs looked very happy and well cared for.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! Stephanie was amazing with Bianca. She was always attentive to her needs, super kind, profesional and responsive. We loved getting pictures and updates while we were away, you can tell she loves dogs and her job! Highly recommend Stephanie and look forward to having her watch Bianca in the future!!”
“Megan has been helping us out with our brand new puppy for the past couple months and she’s been nothing short of spectacular with Lily! She’s does a great job at caring for our dog as if she’s one of her own and keeping her well fed, walked, and played in even the short time she spends with her each day. We couldn’t recommend Megan enough to anybody that has dog-watching needs!”
“We hired Kira for drop in visits on our two dogs. Kira is great! She arrived on time and kept us informed about the dogs thru text and pics. I would hire Kira again without question and would encourage others to do the same!”
“Mackenzie was awesome. She played with my young, active cats every day and sent me great action shots of them leaping and pouncing. They seemed really happy in her care. I would definitely recommend Mackenzie to anyone!”
“Kelsey was wonderful with my cat, Luna! I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!”

My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits. I will be there for your animal day or night. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rover is my full time job so I have open availability! Your pet will have my full attention and love. Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pontiac
Megan provided exceptional care for my two cats. She was prompt and consistent with her twice-daily visits. She was patient with my grumpy cat and successfully coaxed my extremely shy cat out to eat. Her daily photo updates gave me great peace of mind. I returned home to clean litter boxes and a tidy house. Highly recommended!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Pontiac on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.

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.
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 sitter.
