“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!”
“Christina is trustworthy and caring. I felt completely at easy leaving my 100lb baby in her care. It is clear she loves animals and is more than capable of meeting any requirements or specifications you and your pet have. 10/10!!”
“Abby did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were out of town. They all warmed up to her very fast and loved playtime and pets. We appreciate her making the time for us. Great pet sitter!”
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.
“Sean was so good with my dog (Haylee) and my cat (Chili). They loved Sean. When Sean came to return my key, Haylee was so excited to see Sean. Sean sent me a lot of photos & kept me informed as to how my babies were doing. I would definitely use Sean the next time I go out of town.”
“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!!!”
“Ashley is awesome and a sweet person, too. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. My cats are very attached to me and not that comfortable with strangers. They were in great spirits when I got home and my apartment looked nice and clean. Thank you, Ashley. I’ll call you again. Hope you’re available!”
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!
“Sarah did a great job- was totally reliable, sent us daily photos of our kitty and our kitty clearly liked Sarah- she came out to greet her every day. I would absolutely ask for Sarah again!”
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.
“Samantha did an amazing job! She was very communicative and didn’t just scoop the litter pan and feed my boys. She played with them too and helped get the zoomies out of their systems. One of my cats is VERY shy, but by the last day he was clearly incredibly comfortable with her. Her schedule was flexible so she was able to adjust and visit them the morning I was coming home as well. She will definitely be my top pick going forward for a recurring sitter! **As a bonus, she kindly brought in my packages so they weren’t sitting out on the porch for days.”

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. (:

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pontiac
Abby did a fantastic job stopping by to care for our cats! My cats opened up to her super fast and loved her visits. I know they were happy to get some playtime in! Overall we appreciate Abby’s communication with us and attention into making sure our cats were happy & comfortable while we were away.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
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 August 2026, there are 508 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.

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.
