“Morgan was wonderful! She arrived on time and texted us to let us know her ETA. Our two babies are slow to warm up to new people, but Morgan was great with them. She was very engaged and asked questions that clearly indicated how focused she was on learning about our babies. We were surprised at how quickly our two little ones acclimated to Morgan. I highly recommend her!”
“I was TERRIFIED of the thought of leaving my fur baby with a complete stranger. From the moment Kelsey stepped into my home- I instantly had a great feeling. Sonza warmed up to her immediately! Throughout the week- I never, not one time, wondered if Sonza was ok. Kelsey sent pictures and videos, essentially maintained a mini diary while we were away! Kelsey communicated every step of the way… keeping our minds at ease!! She has a sitting family for life!! 10/10 DEFINITELY recommend! Kelsey, Thank you for caring for our girl with so much intention, love and compassion!!! You’re welcome by anytime!!!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs and cat. She listened to instructions, provided lots of photos with every visit, and gave us very thorough update on all of their activities during the day. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
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 some experience working at a veterinary hospital and a dog daycare/ boarding and those were honestly my two favorite jobs. Friends, family, and neighbors have also trusted me the opportunity to care for their pets , and i just absolutely love all fur babies I am currently doing a self paced school to be a licensed vet tech and work part time :) other than that im pretty much open availability I also have two very playful and sweet fur babies of my own to keep ur baby company and there is plenty of room for them to run around in the back. If i am in a clients home i respect all boundaries that are made and im just really there to focus on ur pet and make sure they are taken care of, i can occasionally provide some toys and maybe treats if allowed :)
“Such a sweet person and took great care of my fur babies! Kept me updated every day and sent pictures as well. Highly recommend Samantha for future pet sitting needs!”
“Ashley is a godsend. I know when I’m away, my kitty cats are in great hands. I’m always thrilled when Ashley is available to cat sit for me. She’s the ultimate professional…on the ball and responsive.”
“Abby has done a great job with our two dogs. She followed all the instructions we left and over communicated if anything came up which is what any pet parent cares about when leaving their fur children to someone else. Thanks Abby for providing great care to our dogs!”
“Our pets love Kelsey. They got play time and meal time when she arrived for a home visit. We have two very active kitties who were well taken care of while we were gone. We felt very good about leave ng both of them in her care while we traveled.”
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I live in NE Columbia near Sandhills, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from tiny puppies to giant seniors. I’m also the South Carolina Manager for Daisy Bean Rescue, where I’ve helped countless dogs find their forever homes. That means your pup will always be in the hands of someone who knows how to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible and your dog would almost never be unattended. I can take frequent breaks to make sure your dog is well looked after and not alone. I want to care for your pet just exactly the way you would if you were available. I strictly follow all care instructions and make them as comfy as possible until you return.
“We had a scare from our pups getting into stuff they shouldn't have. Kayla notified us, stayed twice as long as normal, contacted a local vet for advice, and implemented the medication we requested. We're so comfortable and relieved having her part of our support system!”
“Samantha was amazing! She let me know how they were doing each time and sent such great photos! I think my dogs miss her now. 😀 I will definitely ask for Samantha again. My dogs lived her. It means so much to those who worry when they are away from their kiddos to have such great help. Thank you, Samantha!”
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

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pontiac
Samantha has continued to do an amazing job caring for my cats, Chester and Binoo. She keeps me updated with photos, makes sure their food and water is good, and keeps their litter boxes and surrounding area clean. Knowing they're receiving such thoughtful care has given me so much peace of mind while we're away. I truly appreciate her reliability, communication, and the genuine care she shows my pets. I highly recommend her!
Abby was absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend her! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she cared for our pets, keeping us updated and responding quickly whenever we had questions. She paid close attention to our pets’ individual needs and made sure they received the special care they required. She also handled a small unexpected issue without hesitation, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating when weather caused us to adjust our schedule. It’s clear that Abby genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Abby, for going above and beyond!
Perfect fit for my cats! Easily the best sitter we’ve had thus far on Rover!!!! She went above and beyond what my husband and I expected. I hope she is always available when we are out of town because she has set the bar SO HIGH!!! Thank you so much for being so great to our kitties! I had a worry free trip because of you! That means so much!!
Sarah was stellar while I was away on vacation! She provided detailed and thorough reviews on how the cats were doing while I was away and I greatly appreciated everything she was able to do while I was away. I loved the pictures too! Even the tortie in the house seemed to come around to her. I would definitely book with Sarah again for the drop ins I’ll need. Thank you again, Sarah!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Pontiac on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 504 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pontiac. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
