“Ashely was very nice and communicative, my kitties loved her and i thought she was amazing! I would 100% recommend her to someone else and would definitely book her again!”
“I cannot recommend Kimberly highly enough! She took wonderful care of my three cats while I was away and, made leaving them for the first time ever stress free. She is very accommodating and helpful. The day before my trip, my keyless entry stopped working and she made time to come by and pick up a house key. I was also happy with how quickly my cats warmed up to her. One of my cats is extremely anxious and rarely comes out for anyone unless she's known them for years. All three of my cats took to her almost immediately. She has such a calm, kind energy, and my babies could clearly sense that. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of photos and updates, and kept up with all care instructions, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and relaxed my cats were. I look forward to booking with Kimberly again ❤️”
“My cat’s have been hiding since Conner started but he has worked so hard to gain their trust and 1 has finally stopped hiding from him! Conner is totally professional and loves his job.”
“Maddison was fantastic with Tiger and Missy our two cats! She sent a great photo update during her visit and was amazingly flexible when we unexpectedly had to cut our trip short. She truly cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease leaving them in her hands. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Brooke was amazing when taking care of my two cats while I was away. She always sent lots of photos and made sure both cats got the wet food and attention they needed. Went above and beyond!”
“Sara was a phenomenal house sitter! She sent lots of adorable photos of our two cats and responded to messages quickly. When me and my wife returned, we were happy to find a well maintained home and two comfortable and happy kitties. Thank you, Sara!”
“Eliana provided amazing care to my fur baby. I enjoyed the abundance of images she provided throughout her visits and absolutely loved the written updates provided. She even went above and beyond to pay attention to the little details and make sure we returned to a happy home. My fur baby was extremely lucky to have her as her sitter.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and always made the effort to give them the best care possible! I will treat your pets like they are my own and they are cared for properly. I am very ambitious and hard working, I work full time but will make sure the pet care I provide is above and beyond because that’s what they deserve. I will follow instructions to the letter and not make any judgments or decisions that wouldn’t be in your pets best interest or without owner permission.
“Jaclyn is an amazing pet sitter. She is responsible, communicative, punctual, and truly professional. This was the first time we trusted our furry babies to a pet sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She exceeded our expectations in every way. Our pets felt comfortable with her, trusted her, and it was clear they were in great hands. We will definitely be working with Jaclyn again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Maria was amazing!! I was anxious about leaving my two kitties for the weekend because they’re 9month old crazy teenage kitties but Maria took such amazing care of them that after her first visit I knew they were in great hands. She was calm and loving to them and treated my house with extreme respect. I have already booked her again for another weekend and wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“It was our first time to use Rover and we were a little nervous to ask someone to take care of our cat, but when we met Lea for the first time, we felt much better as she seemed so nice and trustful. During our one-week vacation, Lea helped and took care of our cat so well! She really knows how to take care of animals and she is so kind and responsible. She respects animals. Our cat's personality isn't easy, but Lea interacted with our cat so nicely and naturally. Also, Lea kept everything nice and clean. We are so happy and feel so lucky to have Lea in our area. Thank you so much for everything again, Lea! You are the best! We highly recommend her :)”
About: I’ve had various pets in the span of my life including cats,dogs,hamsters,gerbils, guinea pigs,fish, and frogs. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and have experience working in a vet clinic for 3 years, as well as an animal sanctuary. I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family, and have cared for blind and diabetic dogs, as well as ones with behavioral issues. One of my cats has separation anxiety, and I know what it’s like to worry and not want to leave your babies alone. I will give them plenty of love and entertain them while you’re away! And as I currently don’t own a dog, I would love nothing more than a furry friend to spend time with! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m typically available to check in on your pet up to 3 times a day. As a pet owner myself, I understand worrying about them while being away. I’m a very reliable person that would give the upmost care and love for your baby. I would love to send updates and pictures to you often to give you peace of mind! I’m also very willing to do the small household chores like cleaning cages/litter boxes/ any messes they may make.
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!

Here’s a natural, polished version for the Rover review: Connor was great! He respected our home and followed all of our instructions for taking care of our cat. He also kept in close communication with us and reached out whenever there was an issue or question, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I highly recommend Connor to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible sitter for their cat or dog!
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!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Melissa on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 .

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.
