“This was the first time I have used Rover and Ashley has made this experience wonderful! My very first booking with her was for back to back days and she arrived to the house right on time both days. Following the one hour drop-in visit she provided me with a very detailed message about how the visit went and provided me with lots and lots of pictures of her having fun and playing with my puppy! She is very kind and by the look of the photos she took, my puppy was having a great time with her as well! I am very grateful for Ashley and highly recommend her!”

“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.

We would 100% recommend Ashley to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their fur babies! It’s our first time leaving our cats for that long, and she made us feel secure that everything will be alright. She followed our instructions to the letter and would ask questions if she needed more information. She communicated every time she came to visit and sent photo updates. Our babies are usually guarded but they warmed up pretty quickly to Ashley. She respected their space and played with them whenever they were in the mood. We came back to a tidy home, as if we never left, and she made sure to communicate if there was anything unusual or out of place. Ashley was awesome and we will definitely book her again on our next vacation! She’s the best! We couldn’t thank you enough, Ashley!
Maria always takes such amazing care of my kitties. She is patient with them and cares about them being comfortable and knowing they are cared for when I am not home. I have had her watch them 4 times now and will continue to request her every time I leave home.
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!
We are so thankful to have found Brittany. 😊 She is exactly what we were hoping for to take care of our sweet Clyde. She sent cute videos & pictures on every visit to our home. We could tell in each video that Clyde was excited to see her. 🥰 She made him feel comfortable & gave him so much love. It’s obvious she really loves what she does. She will be our 1st choice for every trip…highly recommend!! 😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Melissa is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,801 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Melissa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
