Helper and lover of cats!
Pet care experience
My life changed when I met my partner’s cat, Sylvester, many years ago. Our kitty passed a year ago and there’s been a part of me that has been missing since. I started my Rover sitter account on his death anniversary in honor of him. I have experience taking care of a cat that needed medications. I’ve checked-on, fed, and played with friends’ best (fur) friends during their trips away. While cat sitting, I‘ve had luck training a few cats to sit on command. I would love to meet and care for your fur babes!
Reviews
Melanie is the best cat sitter I have ever had!! So kind, helpful, has good attention to detail, and really genuinely gets to know your cats like they're her own! I will 100% have her as my first choice every time I need a sitter from now going forward. I am normally paranoid about leaving my cats for a long time, but this time, I could enjoy my trip fully knowing she was watching them. Thanks Melanie, you're the best! <3
Melanie was absolutely fantastic! She sent plenty of pictures and videos and was playful with the cats and so communicative with me! Will absolutely book her again.
Melanie was an excellent sitter, very communicative and sent many photos and videos! She was also willing to take on my more exotic pets in addition to my kitties. I would happily trust her again with watching my pets!
Second time having Melanie watch our cats! We literally texted her the week of since we planned a last minute trip and she instantly responded and accepted our request! She is flexible and always goes above and beyond of our expectations. We came home to a clean, fresh-smelling , no poop or pee in litter box and no trash left! We love Melanie!!!

I have access to my own transportation and can drive to you. I will be respectful of your home; I prefer to take off my shoes in the house and will do the same for your space.
Home
Information Melanie D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your cat has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I prefer cats that can be more predictable, rather than unpredictable.
A typical day
I love to get cats stimulated mentally. When I come over to feed your cat and check on their litter, I can also bring over cat toys that have been a hit with other cats I’ve cared for (per your request). I have some snack puzzles and sensory stimulating toys your kitty may enjoy.
