“Thanks so much for your help, April! Nilla loves her walks and spending time with you. I can tell she’s always in such a good mood from the pictures you send. You’re the best!”
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.
“Thank you so much for coming on short notice to review all of the care needs for the girls while we are out of town this week! Eliana showed patience and attention to details, and our gals loved walking with her!”
“Connor was fantastic! He was completely reliable and on time for all his visits. He took great care of my dogs, ensuring they had their potty breaks and fun playtime. I also loved getting the photo updates. Highly recommend him and will be a repeat client!”
“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!”
“After the first week with Rachel, I am very impressed! Such a kind soul, and works very well with my golden retriever. I’m able to rest easy knowing that while I’m at work, my dog is getting quality attention from a good person. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We LOVE Ashley to take care of our girl, Bradie! She has a loveable demeaned that our pup picked up on and then looked forward to each visit! I know this because of how warmly brake greeted her and loved playing with her. She does well walking with our girl and she is fantastic at communicating with us with pictures and updates of her visits!! She is a 10 in our book and we will definitely invite her to care for Bradie again. She leaves us with a sense of confidence that "she has this" which relieves our minds while we're away. Thanks so much Ashley!!”
“Julie was amazing! We had an amazing experience! She took such great care of Rocky. Communication was excellent she kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Rocky was happy, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
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!
“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”
“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 🥰”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Tess, and I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even some small pets. I’m passionate about making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that’s through walks, playtime, or just some calm company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have an open schedule daily! My baby girl loves to be outside and would enjoy walks with your animals or just a regular drop-in! I have a fenced in backyard and a dog of my own. I will keep my dog separate from yours since she can be reactive to other animals. I’ll give your pet all the loving and care that I would give to my dog!
“Sarah did a great job tailoring the visit to my puppy! She sent me a really good pictures, and you can see on my puppy’s face just how happy she was to have her with her! I’m so very grateful for the great job she did, and I plan to use her again in the future!”
“Sabrina is an absolute angel- our english bulldog was so taken care of while we were gone. We are so thankful to have found her and have someone with such a kind heart to love on our lazy guy!”

Once again, Ashley was amazing! There was a change in my schedule last minute and we were needing her to come a little bit earlier than the normal time and she responded quickly and said it was not a problem at all to come a bit earlier! Ashley’s communication is top-notch! I have complete peace of mind when she is here for the hour with my puppy
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Melissa on Rover is $19.98 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,929 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Melissa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Melissa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
