About: What sets me apart is the genuine heart, deep responsibility, and detail oriented focus I bring to caring for your beloved pets and home. I treat every animal like family, whether guiding energetic puppies, providing gentle, patient senior dog care, comforting cozy cats, or tending to sweet small critters of all kinds. My background across diverse, fast-paced roles has made me inherently organized, proactive, and exceptionally attentive to detail. You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing that I think through every single step from maintaining your pet’s exact daily routine to ensuring your doors, windows, and gates are double checked, locked, and fully secure. I take pride in providing reliable, loving attention customized to your pet’s unique personality while treating your sanctuary with total respect. With frequent photo updates and clear communication, I offer top tier care, safety, and heartfelt affection so you can be away without worry. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which leaves my weekends completely open for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Having used Rover myself while traveling, I know firsthand how vital it is to have a safe, dependable person to care for your pets, especially critters who get stressed when traveling and away from home. I love being able to support my community, give owners total peace of mind, and build lifelong bonds with sweet furry friends and their families. While in a client's home, my top priority is keeping your pet's routine consistent, safe, and stress free. I maintain their exact feeding, walking, and medication schedules while making sure they get plenty of affection, play, and gentle attention. I treat your home with the utmost respect always double-checking that doors, windows, and gates are fully locked and secure before leaving. From fresh water and clean litter boxes to daily photo updates, I ensure your pets stay happy in their comfortable environment while giving you total peace of mind.
“Melissa is an absolute gem, my shy kittes warmed up to her quickly. She is very knowledgeable and professional and did a great job looking after them. Would recommend 100%”
“This was a great experience for us and for our cats. Mark's spacious, warm garage was the perfect place for our 4 cats to spend the night. We knew they were safe, they had lots of room to explore and they were together. We are booking another night soon.”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bayside
My cat is on the shyer side, but Jade was able to coax her out of her hiding spot and give her some attention which was great and definitely made me feel less guilty about leaving her for the weekend! I really appreciated how communicate Jade was, and the updates/pictures they sent when checking on my cat. I will be booking with Jade again!
Liv was incredible and our girls loved her!! One of our kitties is elderly and has some incontinence issues but Liv was super communicative, patient, and up for the extra care. She made sure they had plenty of cuddles and attention in addition to their other necessities. We loved all the updates and photo that were sent as well. Our home and kitties were in great shape upon our return thanks to her!!! Would 100% rebook in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
