“Molly was amazing !!!!! You can tell immediately that she loves animals and will be perfect to put your mind at ease knowing she will take care of your fur babies !!!! She communicated with us to keep us up to date and she was timely and dependable !!!!”
About: I grew up in a house with lots of animals, dogs, cats, chickens, even some more exotic ones like iguanas, tarantulas, rats. I have experience with horses, goats and livestock. As well as an associates in Veterinary Technology, along with that comes experience handling and giving medications. I'm currently going back to school for an Environmental Science Bachelors. My dog is also on 2x day walk/ 2x day eating schedule so I am happy to accommodate any special needs! I have a sweet almost 3yr old dog that would happily keep any animal company, a yard to play in and lots of toys. I have multiple crates to accommodate if your pet would prefer to have a safe space. I would love them like my own!
“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.”
“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 a wonderful dog sitter for our Olde English Bulldogge!! She came multiple times a day and took great care of him. It was easy to get in contact with her and we always got a picture of Max with every visit. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”
“Alexandra was a dream. I could tell the instant we met her how much she loved animals. She took such wonderful care of our little guy while we were gone - keeping us in constant communication and flooded with cute pics. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Can not recommend her enough.”
“Ashley has been SO wonderful! Luigi loves her visits and playing with her. She always sends thorough updates, and she takes the time to make sure that he gets what he needs during her visits, including love and playtime! I feel so thankful to have found her, and knowing that Luigi is in good hands has been a blessing. Ashley is the BEST!!”
“Sophia goes above and beyond in her caregiving! We were traveling to Disney for a few days and needed someone to care for our sweet senior dog Rosie. She is basically our baby and Sophia did absolutely everything we asked, plus more. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Rosie!”
“I can't say enough good about Erika P. She came twice (without pay) to visit and learn exactly what I wanted her to do for my cat Sylvester. Then each day while I was away she came to the house, fed my boy, cleaned his litter box, and spent time playing with him. She sent me pictures and videos to prove everything. Due to TSA and weather related issues, my return flights were cancelled - twice! - but Erika continued to come to care for Sylvester. When she came the last time after I arrived home to return my house key, Sylvester went running right up to her for lovings. He really likes her and that makes me feel secure in having her here.”
“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.”
About: I have over 7 years of experience working with animals through shelters and daycare settings. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and giving pets the attention and care they need. My experience has also helped me understand different behaviors, so I can handle shy, energetic, or anxious pets calmly and safely. I truly enjoy working with animals and treat every pet like my own. I currently work part-time babysitting from about 9:30 AM to 1 PM, so I am available before and after those hours. I am also in college working toward my zoology degree, which reflects my passion for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I have plenty of time during the day and evenings to give your pets attention, exercise, and proper care. I am flexible, dependable, and committed to being there when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I have experience handling different behaviors from my time in shelters, which helps me stay calm in any situation. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.
“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.”
“We are so thankful for Stacey and her amazing care of our critters. She left us details updates after each visit and sent great photos. It's clear Stacey loves animals and is warm and caring while ensuring they are taken care of. We'll use Stacey again and would recommend her in the future.”
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
“I had to go out of town on short notice and needed someone to take Lotus out in the morning for a walk and give her breakfast. I found Tina and she was awesome! She kept me informed and took great pictures and did a great job. I booked her for a 30 minute drop-in for two days and would definitely do it again. Thank you Tina.”
“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 :)”
“Mary is wonderful and Boulder and I love having her spend time with him! It’s so nice to be able to have her to rely on knowing she will take excellent care of Boulder and I don’t have to worry while I’m at work. Thank you for always being there to help!”

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!
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 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 524 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
