“I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!”
“Mara is extremely attentive to my Samoyed, Bianca🤍. Mara is always letting me know about her behaviors, her bathroom use, and her appetite. It is wonderful to have someone who cares so much taking care of Bianca🤍! Thank you Mara!”
“I have used Mafalda for drop in visits with my 4 year old doodle twice so far. She is very detailed in her care of him and is very communicative throughout her visit. I feel very comfortable with her and she is definitely an animal lover. I look forward to using her services in a regular basis and for house sitting when I travel soon.”
“Gheraldine did a good job with my cat. Feeding daily - changing the water, cleaning the litter box and giving my cat affection. She communicated if she would be late or early. I do recommend her.”
“Abigail took great care of my cat. I am new to the area and when called for an unexpected work trip, I turned to Rover. I reached out to Abigail and Abigal and received a response within 30 minutes she was available and assisted with setting up the meet/greet. My cat was a stray and is very timid, Abilgail took such great care not to traumatize her and was even able to get close enough to capture a photo. The fact that my cat didn't run is a great compliment to Abigail's patience and caring. I highly recommend this team if you are in the Fort. Lauderdale area, they will be my first go to for the next trip.”
“Nicole is just awesome. She is so easy to work with and flexible. I booked Nicole services to look after my cats as I was going on a trip. She did such a wonderful job of looking after them and keeping me informed every visit. Highly recommend her.”
“Janice was so great with my 2 cats (one kitten one elderly) and sent us multiple pictures everyday to ease our minds on our vacation. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Stella was amazing with our sweet kitty. This was our first time using her, and through the videos and photos Stella sent we could tell they bonded right away. In fact, our girl turned into a huge chatter box whenever she would see Stella, and that made us feel so at ease. We would gladly use Stella again without hesitation.”
“Genesis was so great! She was very detailed and sent a lot of pictures. She kept us updated. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in need.”
“Alexandra took excellent care of my kitty. She was punctual, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures throughout my trip. Most importantly, my cat was happy, healthy, and well cared for when I returned home. I would gladly book with her again.”
“I recently moved and needed to find a new pet sitter I could rely upon. After reading her reviews, I chose Dawn and was not disappointed! She provided detailed updates and pictures with every visit. Most importantly, she was extremely patient with my fickle kitty. Being away from my guy is hard enough but it felt easier knowing he was in good hands with Dawn!”
“Omer & Diana made us feel completely at ease while we were away. I loved seeing all the pictures of our 2 cats and Great Dane they took during their visits. We were also grateful they could help us out on short notice. In addition they revised our booking on the front and back end due to our travel schedule . They love animals and are very tech savvy! Great combination! I highly recommend them and you will be glad you booked them knowing your fur babies are in great hands.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Melrose Park
Marcos took great care of my mom’s cats while we were away. He was attentive, kind, and very reliable throughout the entire booking. He made sure the cats were well cared for, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out with a question. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing the cats were being looked after by someone responsible and caring. Everything was done exactly as promised, and the communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Marcos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
Andrea was wonderful with my cat, Loki! He’s a very shy and scared boy but she was patient, reliable, and very responsive. She always arrived on time, made sure he was fed, and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I will definitely book with her again!
Mafalda with great with my 2 kitties! She kept me updated with video's and photos which help to feel at ease knowing they are getting fed and some snuggles. On the last day she even swept up the area around my liter box which was really nice to come home to:). Thank you Mafalda! Will book again:)
Nevaeh is wonderful! My big dogs loved her, my guinea pigs appreciated her, and my cats even decided that she was a friend. She respected my home and followed all of the instructions for them. She communicates quickly and kindly. I will choose her again and again.
Lindsay was amazing! She checked on my three cats over Thanksgiving week/weekend and did such a great job. She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated every visit with pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats were well cared for and happy when I got home. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Melrose Park on Rover is $16.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,133 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Melrose Park. 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 Melrose Park. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
