Safety, trust & environment

I am always very cautious and follow directions carefully. I’m also an expert at keeping cats from escaping! Just let me know what you need to feel your kitties are safe.

Information Melody M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your cat’s favorite hiding spots so I know where to look for them if they disappear. Any details about where they do or don’t like to be petted, whether they like being held, etc. is always very useful!

A typical day

I am a very cat-led sitter. If your cat wants to play, I love playing. If they are a snuggler I will sit with them on my lap and enjoy a book or tv show. If they just want to hide under the bed, that’s okay too— I just work my feeding and cleaning magic and then leave.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Melody. I have loved cats ever since I can remember. I grew up with one who passed away at almost 18 years old. I was a volunteer for the Bannock Humane Society and took care of the kitties at PetSmart. If you need a cat-sitter, I'd be happy to have the work! Although I have my own sweet kitty at home, I will love sharing some live and one-on-one time with yours. I am not usually a dog-lover, although if you have a dog who is low-key and small (basically, a cat-like dog) I will consider doing drop-ins. :) Thanks for your consideration! I look forward to hearing from you. -Melody, the Crazy Cat Lady

Melody was wonderful with our cats while we were out of the country. She was flexible, communicative, and professional. Our cats did not seemed stressed upon our return, as they usually do when we leave — I can tell she took great care of them. Would definitely book with her again!

Melody did a fantastic job with my two kitties and my house. One of my cats needs oral medication daily and Melody was successful in making sure that Francie got her pill every day, which is no easy task (especially since this cat is prone to hiding). I really appreciate all the extra effort it takes to medicate a cat daily. She also watered my garden, and all my plants look great! I would definitely hire Melody again to take care of my kitties.

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.
