“April was a great sitter. She was consistent with her communication and updates and my dog looked very happy and well taken care of when I returned from my trip. Would definitely recommend.”

“Ashley was great with my 13 year old mini Aussie who is kiddish and shy! She provided amazing care for my dog while I took a short trip away for 5 days! She’s the best!! TY Ashley!”

“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.”

“She was great! We had to book her super last minute and she was a godsend. This was the first time we left Buttons and her communication was amazing. The pictures she took of Buttons really took some anxiety. We will book with Sara!”

“Kimberly is very polite and sensitive to our needs and wants for our cat Leo while we are gone. She communicates with us everyday. We hope she will be available the next time we need her. Thank you Kimberly Mark and Teresa”

“Maria was fantastic with our dogs. Our big dog has a lot of anxiety, but Maria was very patient and made sure to gain her trust. She went above and beyond what we would have expected!”

“Brooke was amazing with our 4 dogs (including an almost 3 month old puppy!). She had no problem staying for extended drop in visits due to the new puppy. She played with all of the dogs, spent time outside and brought them in when it was getting too hot. I will absolutely be booking Brooke again soon!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn. We decided to hire her for our crazy Great Pyrenees and all of our indoor cats. She was very punctual and we returned home to very happy babies. I had initially asked her to provide photos of them and she sent me photos of individual pet with every visit!! On top of that, she also spent quality time with them for their mental stimulation. We will hire her again and recommend her to all the anxious mothers who hate to be away from their furbabies. Thanks to her, we were able to spend some time away from home with ease of mind 🥰”


“Arisha is the best! We’ve used her multiple times to watch our 3 cats and she always does a great job. Very communicative, sends lots of photos, and our babies love her! :) Will continue to book her!”

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!
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Victoria is truly a lifesaver! Our cat’s automatic litter box stopped working during the Thanksgiving holiday, and she was able to check in on our cat at the last minute and fix it. Not only did she repair the litter box, but she also cleaned up our cat’s mess and throw up. Victoria went above and beyond, and we are incredibly grateful to have found her through this app. Thank you so much, Victoria!”

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 am available Tues/Thurs evenings and all day Fri/Sat/Sun! My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week, so just let me know the timeframes you need and we can figure something out:) 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.
“Amy was an absolute lifesaver when she extended for a week when I was delayed coming home due to a family illness - thanks so much, Amy!! She was so patient with our skittish kitty, finally winning her over, ending with pets and lap naps! I highly recommend this wonderful lady!”

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

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.

As of July 2026, there are 2,317 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Melissa. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Melissa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
