About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding Friday-Sunday, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily create your dog if need. At your home I’ll take care of all animals making sure they get the care they need and making sure they have fresh water and use the bathroom.
“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets of all kinds since I was a little girl, from the family pets of cats, dogs, birds and hamsters. To pets of all ages and kinds, of friends and neighbors. Walking, bathing them, helping to nurse them back to good health after surgery’s to even just taking time to sit and snuggle and talk with them when owners are busy with work or vacation. I’m currently working for the Elementary school. I have a break at lunch to come and care for pets needs during the day that might have a sleep over or I’m free at 5pm Monday- Friday to come and care for pets. I’m off on weekends and have very long holiday breaks due to working for the school as well as summers off. I have lots of extra time to make sure your family pet never feels lonely while in my care. I have a big fenced in yard. And a nice large downstairs space with hardwood floors. My neighbor is perfect for taking walks, very low traffic. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, which means more time for yours. I do have 2 very responsible and loving nine year old children that can’t wait to help be hands-on with caring for your pets as we don’t have any of our own ( as of now).

Brooke was SUCH a great sitter for my cats! I have a total of 5 and she took care of them with such love! She asked about toys and treats and where to food and litter box was before coming so that made me feel at ease! She followed all the care and instructions I left. She stayed for a good while and played with my babies and sent me so many pictures! It made my heart so warm and happy knowing I left them in such great care! She even brought treats for them!! Just went above and beyond! I will ABSOLUTELY be booking her again and you should too!! ❤️

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.

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 .

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 .
