“Thank you to Isaac for taking such good care of our Chelsea the cat. He is very kind and respectful of the animals boundaries. It was reassuring to know she would be well taken care of while we weren’t home. If anyone needs an animal sitter, contact Isaac, very nice young man.”
“Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.”
“Great sitter! Alexandria is attentive to instruction, kind, communicative, and great with animals. She took extra time to play with my cats and cleaned up any litter box mess.”
“Elaine is a wonderful pet care taker! I booked her for multiple days as a home visit for my 2 Schnauzers while I was away and my husband worked during the day. The pups are used to me being home during the day so Elaine really provided the attention they needed. She was prompt, meticulous about staying the full time, gave the pups lots of attention, and communicated daily. Will definitely book her again.”
“Lois has been perfect, and an huge relief while I’m away. She takes excellent care of my trio of cats, keeping the kitchen feeding area clean and checking to make sure they’re okay every day. This is the second time I’ve used her services and would do so again without hesitation!”
“Danielle was awesome! She came to our home for visits when she said she would. She sent pictures and spent quality time with our pets. She was fantastic. We will be calling her again.”
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies while we were away. Because we arrived back home around the times that Nicole had been coming to care for them in the evening, our cats came running to the door and seemed disappointed when they didn’t see her. I can’t give enough praises on how Nicole got on Miss Monster’s (aka Jezebel) good side and worked her magic while giving her the twice a day insulin shots she needs. And Toby keeps looking for his new best friend! We will definitely be calling on Nicole again in the future.”
“Annelise is awesome! She agreed to watch my 3 kitties last minute and on a holiday week. She is attentive to your pets and gives them lots of love. She treated both my animals and my house with respect. I've already booked with her again!”
“Tamara was very quick to respond and was available with very short notice. She kept in communication with me throughout the process and went above and beyond to take great care of my dog. Highly recommended!”
“Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)”
“We were away for a long weekend and Christina cared for our dog, Dickens. Always nice to leave, knowing our pet is cared for as if we were still here. Would recommend to others, as long as it's not at a time when we need her!!! Lol”
“Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Jessica was awesome and very reliable. She followed every instruction we left and never really needed extra guidance (which we wouldn’t have minded) but it was nice to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you so much again, will definitely use you again for any future trips.”
“I selected Gabriella because of her ability to administer insulin shots to my dog. She had an emergency with her own dog and even when going through an stressful time, she managed to show up and worked things out with me. I will certainly hire her again if needed, she acted very responsible and understood that my dog really needed her.”
“Madison was great!!! I had a last second flight and she was very flexible for my needs. I’m guessing she was great to my dog because he’s 21 years old and still bouncing around as usual.”
“Erika makes sure we know ensuring that's going on with our girl. She even notices the little things like small behavior changes. Her daily updates give us peace of mind to know our cat is well looked after.”
“My pet sitter Cyndy was very kind and attentive to my pets. All was perfect when I arrived back home. Thank you Rover,and a special thank you to Cyndy. All your daily visits. Hey I think they were expecting you today!”
“This is my first time using Rover and Tom made it a great experience. He was an excellent communicator and took such good care of my fur baby. Casper seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time with Tom and definitely made a new friend. 😁 I'll definitely be referring to Tom again for any future visits or sitting. I absolutely recommend you do the same!”
“Arielle was a fantastic sitter for my 5 cats. They can be a lot to manage, especially at feeding time and I couldn’t be happier with the care and time she took to make sure everyone was cared for. Even my pathologically shy boy came out, which was a big green flag for me. 10/10 would highly recommend 🤍”

Isaac took wonderful care of my two cats, Henry and Oliver, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I left, he was attentive, reliable, and clearly committed to making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. One thing I especially appreciated was the regular updates he sent. The photos and messages gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away and allowed me to see how well Henry and Oliver were doing. It was obvious that Isaac spent quality time with them, playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they felt loved rather than just stopping by to handle the basics. When I returned home, both cats were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for. Isaac went above and beyond, and his genuine care for animals really shines through. I would absolutely trust him with Henry and Oliver again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and caring cat sitter.
Lois has been perfect, and an huge relief while I’m away. She takes excellent care of my trio of cats, keeping the kitchen feeding area clean and checking to make sure they’re okay every day. This is the second time I’ve used her services and would do so again without hesitation!

She was an absolutely amazing Rover. I had recently moved to the area and always wary about leaving my fur babies on especially short notice. She helped me understand what the process was. She helped me update the sitting schedule. Her check-ins were beyond what I had expected. So happy that it went smooth.
Fen was great! She was thoughtful and understood his needs. She had initiative and good suggestions. She updated me in everything. I felt at Peace knowing she was there, even though he is a shy ca that hides when he doesn’t know the person she could void on the predictablity she provided and ate and used the litter normally showing he was relaxed.Thank you Fen!
Wendy watched my partner’s 3 cats while we were on vacation. She came over each day and pet and fed them and made sure their litter boxes are clean. Every day we got an update and pictures and this was a huge relief for us. Knowing they were well taken care of was worth it! Thank you Wendy.
Max W. did an outstanding job taking care of our cats. Wyatt and Winter are rescue cats and can be skittish around strangers. Max has a wonderful touch and quickly earned the trust of both of them. Since it often takes much longer for cats to feel comfortable with new people, we were especially grateful that Max made them feel safe and at ease while we were away. The care was perfect, and we will absolutely book Max again for our next trip!
Kia did a wonderful job. She even fed my fish and took the time to brush my cat which is so important to her. She sent me great pictures as well. Really enjoyed my vacation so much more because Kia always updated me on how things were going with my pets. Will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Melbourne on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 13 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Melbourne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 boxes. 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 socialization 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.
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.
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.
