“Marianne was great! She was super punctual which was important since both my kitties needed meds twice a day. She sent me updates and pics and was so sweet to my babies. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’d love to care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping your dog’s routine consistent. I’ll follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully and provide frequent photo and video updates so you always know your pup is happy and safe. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while making sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for until you’re home again. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am a remote worker in marketing and e-commerce so I have flexibility in my schedule when it comes to dog walks during the week and pet care! I can come to your home to stay and care for your pets during the week and also offer weekend services! I have experience with many different kinds of animals of all sizes and personalities! I am very detail oriented, loving, positive and patient. I have experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior cats and dogs. I have provided pets air medication when needed and can follow instructions on the care they’d need. I also can provide lots of love and energy to your pets!
“Another great experience with Omer. He knows our boy well and always takes such great care of him. He provides plenty of photos and updates. He knows his personality and what he enjoys. So thankful!”
“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!!”
“Yasmine did a great job, was very proactive with communication and sent me updates of my cats while I was away which gave me great peace of mind. Definitely recommended!”
“Mara was absolutely awesome! Very communicative and friendly! My dog is shy & she was comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Mara again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Estefania was wonderful!!! She has the greatest sweet energy. Our Dogs were so happy to see her. I will refer her to others looking for a sitter in the area.”
“Brenda was incredibly responsible and provided such attentive care that I felt completely at ease leaving my pet in her hands. She went above and beyond to ensure every need was met, showing a genuine love for animals that truly stands out.”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic with my Shepherd. She was super patient flexible and took great care of my dog needs. Will be seeing you again thank you so much.”
“Caitlin checks all the boxes. She’s so caring, compassionate, detail-oriented, punctual… truly the best pet sitter!! She goes above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She treated my dog like her own, and when I got home, my dog seemed soooo happy, like she had made a new friend! My dog loves to be loved and give love, and it’s clear Caitlin made a real impact on her! My dog has allergies and Caitlin was able to give medication and massage an anti itch solution into her paws to make sure she was comfy. She did everything I asked for! Even when it came to my dog’s complicated diet haha. Really appreciate everything she did to make us feel at ease!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved animals since a young age; cats, dogs, reptiles, etc. I see them all as a member in the family in my eyes. I have two dogs myself, one is a family dog named Phoenix (Golden Lab mixed) and my own dog Hades (Aussie mixed). I'm quite a patient and understanding person and love to give lots of love to other pets as if they were my own. When it comes to being outside, I'm always attentive as outside can be unpredictable. I reward good behaviors with healthy treats such as; apple, cookie treats, blueberry cookie treats, or any treats that don’t include chemicals or extra unnecessary ingredients as those are the treats I give my own fur baby. You'll receive daily picture updates, reliable communication, and peace of mind while you're away Let Hades & I take care of your fur baby! 😊 I'm part time with my current job so I typically have 3 days off but my days off aren't consistent. I'm available to dog walk Mon-Wed after 6pm, Thurs-Fri after 7pm, and Sat- Sun after 3pm. I'm available to board at any day as I live close by to my job and come back for break (: I live in a townhouse community therefore dogs always have to be leashed when walking. Inside my home is where dogs are allowed to roam freely. I do gate upstairs when I'm away so dogs can be free in the living room. I have quite a collection of toys for my dog and Hades likes to share and play.
“Maria was wonderful with my senior cat Tommy and took such great care of him. I could tell by the photos she sent every visit that he was very comfortable around her. I loved the little writeups and pictures she sent each visit. Would highly recommend. Thanks Maria!”
“Kelly is so great with my puppy! She has great communication and sends the cutest pictures!! She also takes great care of my home while she is there.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Melrose Park is $23
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
