Safety, trust & environment

For visits in your home, I will adapt to your regular routine with your kitties to help them stay calm and happy even in your absence.

Information Melanie N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special quirks that I should be aware of - like if they have a favorite hiding spot, hate shoes, or will try to run out the door.

A typical day

Every kitty’s preferred activities are different so I’ll adapt to what your baby wants to do! I love to snuggle, play with wand toys, and spend quality time with your pets.

Pet care experience

I’m a dedicated cat mom and cat foster. I have four cats of my own: Lily, Bluebell, Whopper, and Tinkie Winkie. Lily came to me very scared and angry after a rough stay in a shelter. She was shy and would act aggressively out of fear. Now, though, after nearly a year with me, she is a happy, calm kitty who will demand pets from any and all visitors. Bluebell is a sweet and happy girl, and Whopper and Tinkie are both foster fails with behavioral quirks (Whop is aggressive and Tinkie is very shy and hides in the ceiling whenever he hears a stranger). My kitties have given me excellent experience in caring for all kinds of cats: shy and social, sweet and angry, low and high energy. I’m now a cat foster as well, and I specialize in cats with behavioral difficulties (shy, scared, or aggressive cats). No matter what your cat’s personality is, I will be able to care for them well and make sure they feel loved.

We’ve booked with Melanie multiple times - she does such a great job with our cats (even the timid one).

Melanie did a great job looking after both my cat and dog while we were away. She wgave me plenty of info, was very responsive and left the house in a perfect state. I definitely would recommend her!

Melanie came for the scheduled visits every day despite the fact that she didn't see Etta (except maybe a quick glimpse). We felt good knowing that someone was checking on our house as well.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
