Safety, trust & environment

I follow your instructions closely so your cat’s routine stays consistent. I make sure I know where food, treats, toy,and litter supplies are. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and let them set the pace for interaction. Even if they hide, I make sure they’re safe, eating well, and using the litter box—and I’ll update you throughout your trip so you always know how they’re doing. If your cat ever shows signs of discomfort (like throwing up or accidents outside the litter box), I’ll let you know right away and clean up the area so they stay comfortable and tidy.

Information Mellissa G. would like to know about your pet

It helps me a lot to know: • Your cat’s personality and comfort level with new people • Feeding instructions + where you keep food, litter, and cleaning supplies • Any medical needs or sensitivities • Litter habits or things you want me to watch for • Their favorite toys, treats, or little routines

A typical day

I will follow your cat’s lead: playtime for playful kitties, brushing or pets for social ones, and soft, quiet company for those who prefer space. My goal is to keep them entertained, and feeling safe in their routine :)

Owner of 2 cats, happy to help out!

Cat care experience

I’m a cat-only sitter and a cat mom to two rescues, Goat and Choco (5yo and 2yo) based in Westwood. I fostered Goat at 6 weeks old and later found Choco in Kenneth Hahn Park, so I’ve learned a lot about caring for cats at different ages, dynamic in household with multiple cats, as well as general feline behavior and routines. I’ve also helped care for friends’ cats over the years when they are traveling—feeding, playing, checking in, and keeping their routines consistent. I always send clear updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away.

Mellissa is the best. She’s my go-to sitter for my 2 cats because she is so communicative, always on time, and follows instructions perfectly. She goes above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter

Melissa was great! She followed instructions to the T, was very patient and understanding with our babies, and so communicative. Will definitely book again and recommend her for drop in services.

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.
