Cat-Only Sitter You Can Trust

I began cat sitting in college and did frequent overnight stays and/or house sitting as well as drop in visits. I have more than 25 years experience caring for cats. I share my home with a very opinionated Persian rescue named Mattie, a super shy, sweet flame point Siamese rescue named Blaze, an obnoxious ginger tabby named Benny Goodman and a gentle soulful ginger boy named Glenn Miller. I am available for drop in visits, love and playtime....just whatever works best for the situation. Please contact me so that we can discuss the care and needs you desire for your feline friend.

Safety, trust & environment

I will ensure that the cats in your home receive immaculate care. I like to make sure that I see every cat if at all possible and I am super careful to make sure that any door dashers do not dash out the door.

As always, Melissa is fantastic with my cat Gracee. We love her visits and are so thankful to have such a great cat sitter. We will definitely rebook.

Took excellent care of our Hattie and was kind enough to bring some toys along to keep her entertained! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby!

My water broke unexpectedly and we needed someone last minute to care for our Navi. We are super grateful for her being there during this very big moment in our life.

Did the dishes for us while we were away having a baby. Very above and beyond. Thrilled to have her as a sitter for our Navi.

Schedule

I work from home so I have the flexibility to be able to do visits before work, midday and after work. I only accept as many clients as I can fit into my day as I want to make sure that your cat(s) receives the best care possible while you are away.

Cats
Melissa can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please provide detailed information in the app or leave a note that includes the care that is being requested at each visit while you are away. Please let me know if your cat is shy, if they will hide, should I expect to see them each time I visit, what their favorite toys are, etc.
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.
