“Elaine did a great job taking care of my cat, Anastasia, and two aquariums while I was away! She was very friendly and communicative, leaving detailed rover cards each visit. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Emily is great and I will definitely book with her again in the future. She easily understood and followed my complicated instructions for four cats and took great care of them! I appreciated the thorough updates and pictures and videos, and even my shy cat took a liking to her!”
“Aramie was reliable and took care of everything while we were gone. We saw that he kitties were happy and healthy when we returned (although they missed us, of course!). I will call on her again!”
“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.”
“Jen was amazing and took good care of my cat while I was on a road trip to get my Mother from NY to FL. Jen, played with Midnight and kept him safe and happy. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I started volunteering at the SPCA in high school, where I helped walk and bathe dogs, care for cats, and even fostered a variety of pups💕 That experience sparked my love for pet care, and I began pet sitting for friends and family! I also worked professionally as a dog bather, gaining hands on experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and two dogs, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own❤️ I recently got a new job at a doggy daycare! I work 8 hour shifts but my schedule varies week by week. I am always available overnight! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my clients, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment💕 I give plenty of attention, keep things clean (litter boxes, food bowls, bedding etc) and always make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owners are away.
“5 Stars! Gretchen took wonderful care of Gravy Boat, who has special needs and needs a lot of hands-on care. She cleaned and rinsed him several times a day, kept his bedding fresh, gave him his meds and snacks, and was patient while he warmed up in a new place. She sent regular updates and photos, and pickup and drop-off were easy and on time. You can tell she loves animals. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Where do I start? First impressions: Her home is odorless, despite having pets herself, clean, and tidy. No trash bags lying around, undone laundry, dirty rooms, etc. Cindy was so welcoming into her home, showing me exactly where my 3 cats would be hanging out until they got used to their new surroundings. Galaxy did need medicine, and Cindy gave it to him as directed. I got daily calls and/or texts, pictures, and I was able to ask her anything about my furbabies. They had lots of places to hide and investigate, the litter box was in the bathroom in a nice LARGE sheltered cubby, so they could "go" when a human does, if desired. She would hang out with them, love on them, let them love on her, and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life, and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, special needs (lots of medication) dogs, and working with multiple dogs at one time. My favorite part about working with dogs is being able to run and play with them. I am available early mornings and late nights. I also love trail walking/running, so I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need! I follow a rigorous routine of walking/running with my own dogs, and will take the same care with yours! Typically, I work from Tuesday through Saturday in an office. Generally, I can provide morning walks, and afternoon into evening care. Lunch time walks may be dependent of location! Caring for other dogs involves building trust through playtime, walks, and of course, treats! Making sure your dog is comfortable on walks and overnights is the top most priority.
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds ever since I was young. I’ve dog sat for family and friends, I’ve worked at a dog grooming/boarding. I had my own dog for 15 wonderful years. I also have experience with cats and reptiles. I’m happy to watch any critter you may have! I’m currently working full time as a server. I have evenings available. Eventually I’d like to cut back on serving and focus more on pet sitting. I do not offer in-home services as I currently live in an apartment. If need be I can stay at your home. I like to keep your pets on as normal of a schedule as possible. Over the years I have seen the benefits of a daily routine for animals. They are already missing their people. Being able to stay in a familiar environment with their normal routine helps alleviate some of that anxiety. I am also willing to even stop by walk and feed them if that is what you need.
About: I love pet sitting, it's my favorite full time job for this stage. The pets give me joy and purpose. I'm kind, dependable, and a ethical person. I'm transitioning into pet sitting full time, so let me know when you need my service and where. I'm a national pet sitter. I'm 5 star rated. I currently successfully care for pets nationally at client's homes only. I follow my client's detailed instructions and communicate as often as needed for updates.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. I’m very responsible and am a calm presence around dogs. I pay attention to their energy and am intuitive about their needs. I have house sat and cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens. I love animals and will make sure your furry friend is cared for and loved. I’m known for being responsible so that pet parents can rest easy knowing their pets are in good hands when they’re with me. I work from home full time, so if you need someone to keep your pet company during the day, let me know! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a screened in pool that has an additional child protection gate if needed. Here’s what some of my clients have said about my work with pets: “Kenzi was made to care for animals! She is incredibly patient and gentle. Very aware of things happening around her. My dogs love when Kenzi comes around and I never have to worry, I know that they will be cared for as if I were there with them. She is a fabulous find!” -Eliza “Kenzi has been a house sitter for me for several times over the last few years. She has been responsible for taking care of my 2 horses, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. When I come home it’s like I just left, everyone is happy and healthy! She will make a great caregiver for anyone’s fur babies, whether well refined or rough around the edges like mine!” -Roberta I currently work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule, so I’d be happy to help with your pet needs. Detailed schedule tbd, but when I tell someone I’m going to be there, I follow through. I’m very responsible and respect the time of others, so I honor my commitments and make sure to follow through if I agree to something. In my home, I’m a remote worker, so I have the time and flexibility to make sure your pet is well taken care of. If your pet joins us, they will well taken care of in an air conditioned and quiet home in a safe neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard too so I can take them out to play and take potty breaks throughout the day. If your pet needs more attention and cuddles, I’m able to give them that attention during my work day so they feel safe and loved. In your house, I am respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure to leave a place as clean as when I arrived, and I will be a calm and reassuring presence for your pet so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Loving, Experienced Dog Sitter — Boarding in My Home 🐾 “Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a caring and dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family. I took a break from dog sitting for a while because my own dog unfortunately wasn’t friendly with other dogs. He has since passed away, and I really miss having a dog around the house — so I’d love to welcome your furry family member into my home and give them lots of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home and doggy daycare, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I live in a dog-friendly gated community that’s great for walks. I’m also happy to take dogs to a nearby park for some extra exercise and adventure! I’m a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of affection, playtime, walks, attention, and cozy downtime — whatever makes them feel happy and at home. I also have a 4-month-old baby, so it’s very important that any dog staying with us is comfortable and gentle around babies and children. I want every pet (and my little one!) to feel safe, happy, and relaxed during their stay. I do accept several bookings at a time but if your pup is more comfortable being the only one in the home, accommodations can be made. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pup with love and care while you’re away and give them a fun, safe, home-like place to stay! 🐶❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible daily schedule that allows for me to be home most of the day. I’m able to work walks, playtime, outdoor time, feeding, and lots of love into my normal routine. I’m also able to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times when needed. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home while they’re here, so I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and included as part of the family during their stay.
About: Entrusting someone with your pet requires confidence, and I provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I offer a unique combination of professional medical knowledge and personalized, attentive care designed to meet each pet’s individual needs. From routine companionship to specialized support for senior pets, those with medical conditions, or pets requiring medication, I am equipped to provide exceptional care with precision and compassion. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always the highest priority. I believe premium care means more than meeting basic needs—it means creating a calm, enriching, and secure experience where pets feel comfortable and valued. My goal is to provide discerning pet owners with complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving expert care in capable hands. For clients seeking professionalism, reliability, and a truly elevated standard of pet care, I am committed to delivering service you and your pet can trust. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I work only one Saturday each month for approximately four hours, which gives me a highly flexible availability for pet sitting and boarding. I am home every evening, ensuring pets receive consistent companionship, routine, and care. As I work within a veterinary clinic setting, I also have the unique ability—if absolutely necessary—to bring a pet with me during work hours. In that environment, they would be closely supervised and surrounded by caring professionals, receiving plenty of attention throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while accommodating their individual needs. I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment. At this time, I do not have pets of my own, which allows me to offer visiting pets a comfortable space without concerns about compatibility with resident animals. I live in an apartment community with ample opportunities for walks, fresh air, and enrichment. There is also an on-site dog park, providing additional space for exercise and play. Beyond meeting daily care needs, I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means engaging in play, offering companionship, or simply sharing quiet moments and snuggles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease while in my care.
“ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
This is my first time using Rover and I feel like I hit the jackpot! I went on a cruise and was really nervous about being so far away and connection issues etc. After 24 hours I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to relax and have fun. My elderly cat is sassy and very demanding but Sophia handled it like a champ and made sure to give me really detailed updates so I never had to worry about a thing.
Jennifer was great. She took care of our cat Callie while we were out of town for a few days. She did her best to make friends with her so she would feel loved while we were away. She goes above and beyond for you, took care of our mail, packages cleanup of the cat dishes and treats! Sent us pictures every day so we knew she was ok. Will use her again for sure!
Molly is a gem! This was my first experience with Rover and I was a little tentative about leaving my cat Wally while I was traveling. Molly was so warm and caring, super communicative, and took great care of Wally. She helped with some more involved older-cat care and helped me coordinate with our vet while I was out of town. Would absolutely book her again next time I'm traveling. Thank you so much, Molly!
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!
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 :)
Nicole was so sweet when she came to meet Ozzy. She sent me pictures every time she went over there and it looked like my baby loved her. All I asked was that she fed him and she went above that and scooped his litter box and played with him for a little bit. Definitely recommend!
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!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Melbourne is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 145 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
