About: Whether it’s maintaining a high-energy dog’s play schedule, giving sweet senior pets gentle walks and extra belly rubs, or administering medications on time, I adapt to your pet's exact needs. I'm currently a college student so my schedule is pretty flexible and maageable. Wheather you need me for early moring walks or midday lunch breaks. I can make sure they stay on schedule with eating and potty. I will first ensure that whatever the pet parents need I will do, providing peace of mind and safety, so they can enjoy wherever they need to be elsewhere. In a home, I will treat you property with respect, double checking all doors and gates are locked and adhereing to your care instructions. If walking i will keeps pets on a leash if needed. Giving the care they desire, becuase this can change depending on the pets personality. In my home, I will maintain a clean, safe, and hazards free enviroment where any furry frind can feel right at home.
About: I am a true dog lover. I grew up with 2 dachshunds in my house for 11 years. I know how to care for them, keeping them active, following the eating, walking, and bathroom schedules. Your dog is in very good hands! I’m available in the afternoons during the week (I work in office every day) and am available all day on the weekends. My dogs were like family growing up so I will treat yours like that too. I like to live my life with a positive and happy attitude so I will share that with all interactions. I am also quick to respond and I understand that life can sometimes surprise us so last minute notices are welcomed. After all a dog is a man’s best friend :) I work full time in office so generally only have availability in the afternoon during the week or on weekends. Weekdays: anytime between 6pm - 8am Weekends: all day (this is usually why I prefer to do overnights during the weekend) I don’t have a dog currently so there won’t be any interaction with other animals in my home. We have a dog park behind my apartment complex. I follow the owner’s instructions on how they want me to care for the dog, having them on the leash at all times and/or if they feel comfortable allowing me to take the dog to a park where they may interact with others. It’s up to the owner.
“Kassandra was great! When initially meeting my pups, she took the time to ask questions and let them get to know her. While sitting, she sent some great photos of my much missed pups and was a great communicator! Definitely would recommend!!”
“This was the first time I used Rover, it was great. I was a little nervous but once I met Vanessa, she was so sweet, and gentle, fun, Peanut loved her. Vanessa sent me pictures and texted me with updates on a regular bases. I will be her in thr future. Thank you Vanessa!!!”
“Shelbi was absolutely amazing while we were away for 10 days. She took incredible care of our dogs and our home, kept us updated, and gave us real peace of mind the entire trip. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Coming home to happy dogs and everything in perfect shape made the end of vacation so much easier. We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.”
About: I grew up having different kinds of pets, ive had a hamster, many dog breeds, a fish and even a turtle! I have a dog of my own right now and i love her so much:) I am reliable, responsible, friendly and a good communicator! As of right now I I have a 12-year-old Yorkie who is a sweet senior dog. She sleeps more than she used to and walks at a slower pace, so she needs gentle care, patience, and a comfortable environment. Her daily routine includes regular potty breaks, meals according to her usual schedule, fresh water, short and gentle walks, and plenty of time to rest. She enjoys affection, companionship, and a calm environment! When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I will follow instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and bedtime routines. Its important to provide plenty of attention and companionship while respecting each pet's personality, age, and individual needs. I will also keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and make sure they have a comfortable and safe environment. I will make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and at ease in the comfort of their own home.
“Alexis was awesome. Was consistent and gave great updates. We will definitely use her in the future. She made a point to make sure my animals were comfortable with her before the trip.”

“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Querhea did a great job taking care of our dogs! One of our dogs required a lot of eye medication and she ensured it was done exactly on time. She provided regular updates and left our house spotless.”
“Emma was wonderful with our dogs! She showed up ahead of time, sent pictures throughout her services and was very knowledgeable about feeding times, etc.We will definitely hire Emma again!”
About: I have worked at a pet resort for multiple years, in which I monitor group play with a variety of temperaments, administer medication and care for dogs and cats on a daily basis. I’ve also had multiple dogs and cats throughout childhood, teenage, and in my adult years. I have experience with pets of all personalities and strive to learn more about each animal to be able to accommodate them to ensure they are most comfortable. I work 4 days a week, so I am able to pet sit/walk throughout the day mostly on weekends and Mondays, however my weekday off day could flex to Friday availability as well. I have 2 friendly dogs, one medium and one small with a fully fenced in backyard to keep your pet company! But they could easily be in our room for those that are picky with their friends. I also have 2 indoors cats but they could be sequestered for pets that may not enjoy feline company. I also have experience with crate training and potty training if applicable to your pup! I have the utmost respect for my client’s homes and their pet’s already established routines- no matter how extensive!
“Anna is amazing! We booked her for a long house sitting service and she went above and beyond, making sure our dogs were taken care of, got their medication and kept us updated with pictures and videos of our two dogs and made sure we came home to a clean house. She’s definitely an ideal sitter”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. I take them on walks, play with them, feed them, and even sweep, mop and vacuum for pet hair. The most animals I’ve taken care of at a time was 4 cats and two large dogs, keeping all happy, cared for, loved and entertained. I currently have one college class on Tuesday and Thursday from 2-3:20 and I have a Bible study on Wednesday from 1-2. I will be free the rest of the time to love and cherish your fur babies. I love animals and will care for them with all the love I have. I will play with them, love them, keep them happy and cared for. They will always be petted and babied.
“If you’re looking at reviews of this sitter, you can go ahead and JUST BOOK HER RN. Within the few seconds of meeting her, her vibes were just amazing! We had her visit our animals the day before our trip, and we just felt an immediate connection with her! She’s very talkative, friendly, sweet, and brings such happy energy! She kept in communication about our animals and constantly sent photos and video of how they were doing. Our dog ended up having allergies before we left to where we had to get medication and on her down time she messaged us saying she researched ways that could help his allergies and did the things that would be helpful! She went above and beyond. She brings 100% of the effort into pet sitting! Even with our friends watching our animals, we always felt the urge of being uncomfortable from far away. And even getting a pet sitter we didn’t know scared us at first, but when we met her and talked to her it felt like we were friends for awhile and we finally didn’t feel worried being away on our trip. You could even tell from the photos and videos that our animals adored her. We would book her a thousand times all over! Thanks ALLI!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities.

I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“Miranda is the best sitter! She took very good care of Olive. She is responsive and sent me pictures of Olive which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommended”
“Kelly & Casp3r always have fun on their adventures when I am out of town! I come home to a clean house & a very happy pup, but most importantly I do not have to worry while I am away… I recommend Kelly to anyone wanting dependable Pet & Property Care, especially to ALL my Family & Friends!!! 🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melody Hills
Kaylee was wonderful! She communicated very well and paid attention to every detail. I could tell Picasso had a great time and was well cared for because, after Kaylee left, he slept for almost two hours—something that rarely happens because of his separation anxiety. I would definitely trust Kaylee with Picasso again and will absolutely be using her services in the future!
Melissa did a great job of taking care of our dogs! She went above and beyond to take care of them- taking them on walks, spending lots of time with them, etc. She was also great at communication and letting us know via message and pictures how our dogs were doing. Thank you Melissa!
Shannon did a fantastic job watching my cat over the 4th of July! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. She provided updates, followed instructions, and gave me peace of mind throughout the trip. I came home to a happy healthy cat and everything in great shape. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and gladly book with her again!
Alicia was awesome! She showed up to our meet and greet incredibly prepared, and I knew immediately I could trust her. She sent a ton of photos the whole time I was gone and the house was in great shape when I got home. Definitely would recommend and will book with her again for sure.
Emma is amazing! I have two high-energy Border Collies, and she handled them like a pro. From the start, Emma was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with energetic dogs. Throughout the stay, I received frequent updates and tons of adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried — I knew my dogs were in excellent hands. We came home to happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved dogs. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Melody Hills is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $49 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Melody Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Melody Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Melody Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
