I care for kitties in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your routine closely. Feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, even treats 😉 and of course affection! While keeping your home tidy and secure.

Melissa is awesome! We are 100% confident leaving our nervous cat in her care. We always come home to a chill cat and a clean house.

I would highly recommend Melissa. My cat warmed up to her right away and Melissa followed her normal routine to a T. She supplied detailed updates and plenty of pics to leave me reassured that my cat was getting the best care. I found myself not worrying about my cat while on vacation which is exactly what I need from a sitter!

Melissa went above and beyond for our nervous boy, spending lots of time and attention on him and doing all the things he likes best. He took to her right away at the meet and greet, and I could tell from the pictures and videos she sent at each visit that he was happy as could be and probably didn’t even miss us. She also was kind enough to tidy up after play and brush sessions. We came home to a very happy cat who has decided Melissa is the best cat sitter ever, and who are we to argue?

Melissa was great! She took care of our 2 cats over July 4th weekend and kept us informed with feedback and great pictures. She was even able to coax our skittish one out of hiding and wanting attention within a couple of check-ins!

Melissa was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we connected, it was clear how much she truly cares about animals—especially cats. She took the time to understand our cat’s personality, routine, and preferences, which gave us immediate peace of mind. While we were away, Melissa kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious our cat felt comfortable and well cared for—something that isn’t always easy with cats! She was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. When we returned home, everything was clean, our cat was happy, and the whole experience was stress-free. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate pet care. We will definitely be booking with her agan

Melissa is an exceptional pet sitter. She’s incredibly responsible and clearly has a huge heart for animals. I trusted her with all 3 of my pets (2 cats and a dog), and she took amazing care of them every time. She’s honest, dependable, and genuinely attentive to each animal’s needs. I never had to worry when they were in her care. You can trust her completely. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate.

Cat care fits easily into my daily routine with flexible mornings, afternoons and weekends, I can prioritize consistency, ensuring your cat gets reliable, attentive care.

Cats
Melissa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I like to know as much as possible about each cat before caring for them: their behaviors, any fears or triggers, feeding times, medications, and specific do's and don'ts. Written instructions are always appreciated - they help me keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.
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.
