Drop-In Visits • Jul 30, 2024

I had high hopes for Melisa as at first she communicated very well and I felt comfortable having her drop in to watch my 2 cats while on vacation. However, once the date of the trip started I did not hear from Melisa and had to message her for an update. No care cards were filled out and I had no way of knowing that my cats were taken care of or that she completed the visits through the Rover app as she did not log the visits or send me any messages. She also did not stay for the full 30 minutes she was scheduled for based on my smart lock app. She stayed for only 4 minutes one day and didn’t show up at all on the last day. She also did not show up at her scheduled time of 3 pm and came almost 5 hours later nearly 8 pm. I have no problem with changing the drop in time but it needs to be communicated that you showed up and did what you were booked to do as well as stayed the full time you were paid for. Upon my return, the cats had barely a drop of dirty water in their bowl. In my instructions I asked for the food and water bowls to be filled each day. This clearly did not happen and the litter box was also not cleaned. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter, unfortunately, I would learn from my experience and look for someone else who will properly take care of your pets.
