“We have a diabetic cat that requires insulin injections every 12 hours. Courtney was on time and communicated well during her drop-in visits, which was much appreciated. Thanks so much!”
“Jaclyn was very prompt and efficient. It was obvious the dogs felt very comfortable with her and every picture she sent my dogs looked happy. We will definitely use her again!”
“Julia was wonderfully professional to work with and especially kind with our shy senior cat who requires an inhaler for his asthma. She sent updates each visit and gave him lots of love. Looking forward to having her visit again.”
“Super friendly and nonjudgemental about the fact that I haven’t been able to clean my litter often enough due to chronic pain. Went above and beyond by carrying more than just the litter trash out behind the back of the building to the dumpster.”
“I was so lucky to get Keri as my pet sitter! My cats loved her and I received so many pictures and updates! As much as I hate leaving for several days, I didn’t have to worry because Keri was so good to my kitties💛 Truly phenomenal and reliable sitter.”
“Ally was great! This was our first time using Rover and she really put our mind at ease. Ally is reliable, responsive and was great with our dog, Leeloo. We loved getting the pictures and updates and Leeloo was clearly comfortable and happy.”
“Danielle is amazing! Super communicative and helpful. She gives useful tips and recommendations, and will go above and beyond too. Would book her again and again (and we have).”
“Tiana does such an amazing job with our pups! She takes the extra time to make sure they get to play, sniff and explore after being cooped up for hours. And that’s in addition the main ask of letting them outside for a bathroom break and feeding them. She truly is a lifesaver for us when we’re away from home for an extended period.”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“Sean kept us in the loop the entire time we were in Ireland and sent us so many photos! He even wiped our dogs down when they came in from the rain. We will be booking again! Thank you Sean!”
About: I believe in giving the kind of service I’d want for my own pets and home. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always treat your space with cleanliness, respect, and care. I currently do Rover part-time and am based in Mount Airy. For overnight stays, please note that I work during the day, so I’m typically away from 8 AM to 6 PM depending on traffic, but I always make sure your pets are comfortable, fed, and cared for before I leave and as soon as I return. I’m available for pet care early in the morning and in the evenings. I make sure to plan my routine so pets get the attention and care they need. In my home, I provide a safe and cozy environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. There’s plenty of space for playtime, cuddles, and a routine that suits their needs. I keep things clean, comfortable, and fun, always making sure they feel like part of the family. In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medications, I follow your instructions carefully. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, ensuring they’re cared for as if they were my own.
“Ryan is always super attentive, communicative, and professional. He takes great care of our pets and leaves the house spotless. He has housesit and cared for our animals on multiple occasions, even for a very short notice long trip due to a family emergency. We are so appreciative of his help and the peace of mind! Highly recommend!”

I’ll stay in touch and keep you updated at the end of each visit.
“Haeley is fantastic! She is tremendously compassionate and attentive. Harley exudes kindness in the way she communicates about my pets. It’s a gift having that peace of mind that my pets are in such good hands.”
“We had a great experience with Sydney! Communication was perfect and she was easy to work with. She provided excellent care for our 2 cats, one of whom needs both an inhaler and a pill. Our cats seemed to be really comfortable with her despite one being very shy. Highly recommend her!”

We rely on Heather to take care of our cats anytime we go on vacation. She is amazing as far as taking care of their individual food needs and attention to each cat! Heather communicates every day about each cat and also provides photos of each! I highly recommend Heather for your pet's care!
Once again, Courtney took fabulous care of McGee and Carson. She always sent me pictures so I could see the boyz while I was away, and she kept me up to date on their goings-on throughout the week. This time our return flight had been cancelled and she offered to update the time we scheduled with her for an additional day if needed. Luckily we were able to update flights, but having someone like Courtney who was able to jump in if needed was definitely a distress or! Thanks for everything, Courtney!! ❤️
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.
Nikki was very responsive and took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet before the service began. She did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Melrose Park on Rover is $21.09 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 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 August 2026, there are 4,530 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:
- 91% 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.
