“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!”
“Connor was great! My opinion as well as Raegan and Sadie. He was prompt, courteous, asked great questions plus seemed to totally enjoy our girls. Definitely would check Connor out! We look forward to having him back.”
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.
“Eliana has been incredible with our pup. He's a bit skittish and nervous around new people and dogs - especially other dogs - and she has always made him feel calm and safe while we're out of town. She's our go-to Rover person now!”
“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!!”
“This is our second time booking with Brooke and we will definitely be booking again! She was very flexible with our dogs’ high maintenance food requests and was patient with our ball of energy puppy.”
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!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure dogs are fed on time, get exercise, and feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them and giving them attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am responsible and patient, and I treat every dog like family. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your dog is in my care. I also volunteer at a pet work&woof place through my school at austin I’m full time deaf senior during the school year! I’m available during weekends, summer and holiday breaks. I am super flexible with time frames. I am very organized person. I will take great care of your dog in my home. You can bring your dog’s crate, food, toys, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I will also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.
“We are so happy to have found Maria! One of my pups is skittish and takes time to warm up to new people. Maria was wonderful with her. We look forward to rebooking with her in the future.”
“She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our babies. She didn’t just take care of their physical needs but cared for them and loved on them the way we would have if we were there. If you ever need someone to care for your fur babies, definitely reach out to her. We got fun photos at every visit and a sweet note explaining their adventures and activities! 5 stars and highly recommend!”
“This is the second time Sara has watched our cat Lily. She does an awesome job with her and gives her lots of attention. It is always stressful leaving your older cat when you need to go out of town, but knowing Sara is checking on Lily makes it so much easier. Thank you Sara!”
“Arisha is very kind and you can tell she really likes animals. She let me know when she arrived to check on our fur babies, sent plenty of pictures and videos, she also let me know when she left. All three of our dogs were happy with her, she sat out in the backyard with them and they hung out in the house as well. One of cats let her get near him and didn't run, even the cat that always hides let her take his picture. Having Arisha spend the hour with our pets while we were on our day trip really allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. We will be using her again!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melissa
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,991 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.
