“Felisha was great with my cat. Sent lots of photos and made sure he was fed and happy. Also brought in my package and was very communicative. I highly recommend her!”
“Gabi was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly reliable, sweet, and loving. Bazo and Luna can be shy around new people, but they felt comfortable with her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was always on time, responsive, and treated my cats with so much love and care. I would absolutely trust Gabi with them again and highly recommend her!”
“Season is our go to kitty sitter. She is extremely professional, punctual and organized. We communicate on a daily basis and she is brilliant at assessing their needs and making any adjustments. We always feel reassured knowing that she will be looking on on the boys while we are away!”

Whether your pet needs companionship, feeding, playtime, walks, or drop-in visits, I'll provide personalized care based on their unique needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attention, comfort, and care while their owner is away. I prioritize consistency and communication so pets stay on their normal routine and owners have peace of mind. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client's home, I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, companionship, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner.

I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I have experience with dogs of various breeds and ages ranging, who are most often from shelters or rescues. While I have 2 dogs of my own (shelter & foster), I have 5 years of experience fostering dogs who come directly from their rescue location who often need adjustment/bonding time, medical care & basic training (potty, crate, walking, etc.). The fosters I have cared for range from ages 3mo-8 years, and I am comfortable with senior care and rd ministering medication. I have experience with dogs who are more reactive. My work schedule allows me to be available during the week in the early morning or evening. During the weekends I am able to fill in afternoon slots for walks or a home visit! I have raised dogs with both fenced in and partially fenced in yards. Their off-leash time in the yard required supervision and thorough training to keep them engaged in staying in the yard. I walk my dogs on a leash and crate them when I leave the house.
About: Hi! I’m Kel, and I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and clients since I was a teenager, and pet sitting has always been something I’ve found incredibly rewarding. I know that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry free as possible—for both you and your pets. I’m attentive to routines, personalities, and individual needs, whether that means an energetic dog who needs plenty of playtime, a senior pet who prefers a slower pace, or a shy cat who needs a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I currently share my home with my cats, Rosemary, Cheezel, Wasabi, and my Great Pyrenees, Marsha.. They’ve taught me plenty about the joys, quirks, and occasional chaos that come with having pets! I’m responsible, patient, communicative, and attentive to detail. I’ll treat your pets, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled drop-ins, walks, and house visits rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I’m comfortable working with different routines and can follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, play, and bathroom schedules as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is especially important , so I make an effort to keep their routine familiar while you’re away. I also make communication a priority and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. My goal is to make caring for your pets a reliable part of my routine while giving you peace of mind that they’re getting the attention and care they need. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets in the environment they know and feel comfortable in.

During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. This can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, walks, and medication or other special needs as discussed. I’ll take the time to interact with your pet based on their personality—whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a quieter visit with some gentle companionship. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual. If I notice something concerning, I’ll contact you promptly rather than assuming it’s normal. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: For 10 years, one family trusted me with their kids and their dogs, and I’d love to earn that same trust from you. I cared for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. That meant meals, walks, potty training, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Beyond that family, I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs over the years, which taught me that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of every age, size, and energy level, from rambunctious puppies to laid-back seniors and nervous pups who need a gentle, patient approach. My schedule is fully open, so I can work around your plans, keep your dog’s routine just the way they like it, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.
About: After caring others pets to my own, I realize that no two furbabies are the same. Some require more patience and attention, while others need their freedom and a guiding hand. I am here to offer all of that! I have always been a dog and cat person. Growing up, I had a sweet little guinea pig since we didn't have the room for something bigger. However, he was never just a pet, he was a part of my family. I always think about him when caring for other people's pets. Over the years, I have cared for cats, walked dogs, and even housed a few pets for a short time (although, one of my relatives is rather allergic so I cannot offer that service anymore). I cannot wait to connect with more animals! I am currently a student at Oakland Community College pursuing a career in computer science. Most of my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's are crammed with classes in the afternoon. However, I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings. The rest of the days are free. Regardless of what animal you share your home with their everyday messes are inevitable. I like to keep them in a happy and clean environment at all times. Their physical and mental health is always my priority.
“Max was great taking care of our cats and had great communication the whole time we were gone. Also went the extra mile and helped troubleshoot our sump pump when it had an issue while we were gone. Would use again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs my whole life. I’m very athletic and will walk/jog if preferred. I’m very reliable, friendly and professional. I’m currently in school and have a job but my schedule is always open on the weekends and always after 2pm on the weekdays. Sometimes open availability throughout the week All pets need supervision so you can always rely on me being nearby at all times. Routine scheduling is also very important to me as well.
About: I absolutely love to care and play with dogs! Throughout my time working with dogs I have given dogs medicine and now have special experience of watching them and caring for them. I have a dog of my own he is an Old English Sheepdog and lives with my parents. I have cared for cats and other animals throughout my life as well. I must note that I love big dogs and have experience with extra large dogs including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, and Dobermans. however, no matter the size of your dog or puppy I’ll take special care of them, from Great Dane’s to Basset Hound’s to Chihuahuas! I am good with puppies and with older dogs. I do my best to give oral medication if needed. I would love to be the one to take care of your fur baby and can be flexible with scheduling! I am currently a college student in Detroit. I have classes 3 days a week. When I confirm a booking I commit to staying with the dogs as much as possible. I care for pets outside of my home by making sure they are comfortable with me, playing with them but knowing when they are aggressive or not. I also give some very good scratches.
“Emily took perfect care of my kitties and did everything I asked. She gave me thorough updates and even cleaned up their messes. They don’t like strangers and they were out playing with her and trusting her to give treats during visits. I plan on booking her again! 🤗”
“Kasidy was amazing! She watched our kitty for 20 days and helped made our trip stress free! She provided me with daily updates and pictures of him. She stayed at our apartment and kept it very clean. I would 10/10 recommend her, especially for cat sitters. Next time we go out of town and need a sitter we will 100% book Kasidy!”

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!
Deirdre really pays attention to the kitties in her care while Their Human is away! She always sends updates with any-everything I need to know. And photos to show what the furry ones are up to while I’m gone. I would recommend her highly and hope to see her again:).

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Pontiac is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
