About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
“Ashley was absolutely amazing. We haven't left our pups in over a year and were nervous. She made us feel so at ease with her effort and care. She helped us with meds for one of our pups and truly just went above and beyond. We highly recommend her! Book her! You will not regret it.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since childhood on a farm and in home. I love spending time caring for and spending time outside with them. I am a stay at home mom that likes to stay busy. I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. We part time home school so by hiring us, my kiddos get the experience of working along side me to care for and love your fur babies as a business experience. We have a fully fenced back yard with a doggy door into the backyard. We are an animal friendly home with cats and a bearded dragon. We also are a kid friendly home with three kids under the age of 9.
About: I make sure that your animal is well taken care of. If I have school or other things going on, I make sure to stop by to see your pet every 2 or so hours. I give lots of treats and hugs and cuddles to your furry friends. I’m currently in school so I’m perfectly free after 2pm Monday-Thursday Other than that I’m free all day and available at your let’s need. Also available to check on your pet in between classes I make sure the pets are fed every day and night at the same time. I walk dogs at the same time every day and for the same amount of time. I give doggies lots of treats and love as well
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
“Jaclyn was an angel with my 2 German shepherds as I went out of town. She treated my puppies like they were her own and went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of while I was gone. She left each visit with detailed updates and photos which was the best part of my days when on vacation. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
“Sara is awesome! Her communication is excellent, and we know our senior doggies (who aren’t always the easiest) are well cared for when she checks in on them. We will definitely keep booking with her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love getting to know every pup’s unique personality! I’m experienced in basic training and provide loving, attentive care. I’m deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate, but I can speak a little too—your pets will always be in patient, understanding hands 💛 My schedule for summer is super flexible and I will be able to have plenty of time to give your fur babies the best experience of their life 😆 I love hanging out and giving the cuddles! Starting Aug 4th, I will be working from 7:30am to 4pm on Mondays to Fridays since school is back in session now! Meanwhile I will be free during school breaks such as spring break, fall break, Thanksgiving break/Christmas break. I am happy to housesit your place which means I can come and stay at your place to take care of your fur kiddos! Just need to be aware that I will have to step out sometimes to take care of my own fur kiddos and sometimes will have shifts to work. I always make sure to take care of the animals first before I head out.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Melissa
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashlee is incredibly kind and took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for three weeks. She stayed in touch with us throughout our trip, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly, spent quality time with our cat, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for every day. When we returned home, our house was exactly as we had left it—clean and well looked after. Ashlee treated both our home and our cat with great respect and care. Ashlee will definitely be our go-to sitter from now on, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Melissa on Rover is $24.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Melissa. On Rover:

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.
