Excellent service from Cordelia, will definitely be using her regularly again. Such peace of mind knowing our puppy is in safe hands & the photo updates during her visits are a nice touch.

About: I’m a dog lover who’s grown up with animals of all shapes and sizes. My parents owned a working farm, so animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve owned dogs from Mastiff to my current cheeky Sausage dog. With the years of hands on experience I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities, including those with the challenging behaviour. Whether it’s a long Country Park walk, play time or a simply cuddle on the sofa. I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved while in my care. Your dog’s or cat’s wellbeing is always my top priority. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time dog or cat sitting. Various times available , but can be discussed further before booking. If needed to look after a puppy or small dog , I have gated and fenced all around garden, so your pet’s will be safe and secured and my little friendly Dachshund to run around with.

About: I have grown up on the farm surrounded with cats, dogs, chicken, goose and other farm animals since I was little. Cats and other pets are best companions. I have got two cats Luna and Sansa. I work during day time so could drop in to feed cats before or after work. If preferred, can do both- in the morning and evening. I would prefer to look after the pets at owner's house as not sure how my cats react if it would be at my place. DBS (previously known as CRB) checked. I could make visits before or after my work or both if required. I am off work weekends. If not sure, welcome to ask any questions. As there are two cats in my own house and unsure of their reaction on new pets in the house, would prefer to look after in cats owners house.

Phoebe has been absolutely brilliant, every step of the way. She answered questions quickly and it was really straight forward to arrange the booking. Our cat was very well looked after and it was clear to see how happy he was in the photos and videos Phoebe sent. I was very confident leaving him in Phoebe's care and she will be my first choice of pet sitter in the future.

Our cat is very wary, touching on the neurotic, but Leanne managed to get close to her and she was much more relaxed when we got home than she normally is. For any cat owners I would certainly recommend Leanne

About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember, growing up with them from a very young age. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behaviour, personalities, and individual needs. Currently, I have three cats of my own and two dogs, so caring for multiple cats and managing different temperaments is something I’m very comfortable with. I absolutely love cats—honestly, I’m a bit obsessed. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing with energetic kittens or giving gentle attention to older, more relaxed cats. I’m experienced with cats at all stages of life, from young, playful kittens to senior cats who may need a quieter, more attentive approach. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for any cat in my care. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m more than happy to accommodate their individual routines, preferences, and needs—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering basic care, or simply giving them the space or affection they require to feel at ease I have a fairly flexible routine that allows me to provide attentive care. During the week (Monday to Friday), I mostly work in the evenings, while on weekends I typically work in the mornings. Outside of these hours, I’m available and able to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m also more than happy to be flexible and work around my schedule to suit specific needs, ensuring each cat receives the time, attention, and care they require. In my home, I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. They’ll have a warm and cosy environment with access to food bowls, a water fountain, and soft cat beds with blankets—although they’re more than welcome to join me on the bed if that’s what they prefer. I provide clean litter trays (one upstairs and one downstairs) to keep things convenient and hygienic. There are plenty of toys and treats to keep them entertained and happy, as well as two cat trees for climbing, scratching, and relaxing. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always aim to stick closely to their usual routine so they feel as settled as possible. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or giving them space, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been caring for animals, specifically 3 cats, for the past 12 years. Although I am more experienced with caring for cats, I have learned skills that can be applied to both dogs and cats. I give daily medication and have for the past 5 years. I’m always ready to take on a job to care for an animal, which can include dog walking, feeding, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I am currently taking my A level exams, so my availability may vary, however feel free get in touch as I am soon coming to the end of my time at college, so will have the time. I have an existing gymnastics commitment all day Saturday so will be absent from the home most of the time on that day, however I can always change this if care is desperately needed. My cat is an outdoor cat, so has access to the home, garden and surrounding area. She requires daily medication, which is given twice a day by myself or another family member. I will therefore be able to offer the same care and modify my usual routine to accommodate for any pet I am responsible for!

About: Growing up I've always had animals, including dogs, cats. I used to spend a few weeks a year with my family on my uncles farm helping out. I had a black lab cross, but lost him 2 years ago, he was beautiful although a little crazy, but loved long country walks and plenty of cuddles. I regularly look after my mums spaniel, hes very active although has alot of medication. I love having him because it means we can enjoy spending time together with an animal. I worked in a veterinary practise for two years before getting pregnant because animals is a big passion. I was training to be a vet nurse before having my son, Joey. The opportunity to house sit and spend time with your pets means we can enjoy our travel lifestyle whilst pursuing our passion with animals. In the last 10 years we've been all over the world and enjoyed time together with a variety of animals including dogs, cats. I love the fact that we can actually relax in a home environment with your furry family members. Last year we lived in Brazil and rescued a sick dog and 5 abandoned kittens from the streets, we nursed them to health and they became part of the family, which is why it was tough letting them go, but our goal was to find loving new homes for them which we managed to do. I host Air Bnb and stay in mainly Airbnbs at the moment when away, therefore know the responsibility of looking after someone else home, I have also made some great friends through this site. Hello there! My name is Cara. I currently work remotely as an online tutor, but I love languages and art and nature. Working from home, means lots of flexibility and time with your furry family members! I am a big animal lover and have always had them in my life. Although exploring new places means we can't have a furry family member full time, we have looked after dogs, cats. I rescued a dog and 5 kittens from the streets of Brazil when living there last year and successfully re-homed them. We will be sure to update you with lots of pictures. Being outdoors is my favourite hobby and sharing that experience together with an animal is something we thrive on. Looking forward to meeting you and you furry/ or not animal family members soon! Cara and Joey You pets will be welcomed into my home and will enjoy every minute here. Lots of country side in our quiet village and as I work from home, they will have plenty of time with me.

Dawn is fantastic. She has looked after our three cats a few times now and is very patient and accommodating about their differing needs/personalities! Dawn keeps us updated while we are away and its such peace of mind to know that she is keeping an eye on the house and the cats.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Melton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Melton on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 739 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Melton. About 90% of Melton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
