“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!”
“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!!!”

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 :)
“We have booked with Sam before and were so happy that she was available this time as well! She takes such good care of our dog and our cat, and has learned their personalities so well :) her updates are thorough and she sends lots of pictures!”
“Natalie was very professional, dependable and competent in caring for my 2 cats. She administered insulin twice a day to one cat, that is diabetic. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!
“Kathryn was amazing and I am so appreciative of her stepping in on a late notice and loving on my boy! I could tell from the pictures he got a lot of attention and play time, couldn’t be more happy and recommend Kathryn to anyone!”
“We left our cat, Moses, in Aaron’s care for 31 days. When we returned, Moses was well fed and well hydrated. Now that we are back home, I think Moses misses Aaron more than missed us! 😊 Aaron not only cared for our cat, he provided kindness and love. I could tell from the photos Aaron sent after every visit that Moses was comfortable being around him. Thank you Aaron, we will 100% contact when we leave for our next extended vacation.”
“Hannah was reliable, flexible and responsive to my requests and messages. My animals seems at ease with her which allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that they were being cared for and in good, capable hands!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pontiac
Sean was so wonderful, especially for our first Rover experience/vacation away from our cats. He was great explaining the process and making sure everything was communicated during each visit. He was patient with our very shy cats & still got one to come out for a bit by the end, more than I could ask for! Daily photos/notes were very reassuring while we were overseas as well. Would absolutely rebook Sean for future visits and recommend him to anyone in our area!
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.

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.
