“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.”
“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.”

“I really appreciated the love and care Lauren provide. I left for 3 days out of town and enjoyed her pictures and had a good peace of mind. Will definitely keep using her services,”
“Jaycee was great to work with! We appreciated her enthusiasm to work with our cats. Jaycee was very flexible and communicative with us which made it a breeze to work with her. She is very experienced with cats which made us more at ease with having her take care of them. She even persisted with attempting to give our grumpy old cat medicine. We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.”

“Dominique was amazing with my four cats! She was very attentive and communicative. As a cat mom herself, she was able to pick up on my cats' personalities quickly which was very reassuring, I would definitely recommend her 😻🤗”
About: We have three kids who love to pet sit for friends while they’re away. They will genuinely love and adore your pets while you cannot be with them. We are mostly home on the weekends and can give full time care. We do not fertilize the backyard and believe in an organic lifestyle. We have a fenced in yard and safe roads for dog walking. We have a strip in the backyard perfect for playing fetch and running laps.
“Alexandra was here all week to clean my cats' litter boxes, replenish their dry food and water, and to offer them wet food. They are allergic to each other's wet food, so it's critical that she monitor them when they eat. It worked out well, so I want to book her for the next few weeks.”
“Brian is always a lifesaver and takes amazing care of my two doggies whenever I travel out of town. My doggies absolutely adore him and are always well-fed and very happy. Brian is definitely the best and is the most dependable and reliable person I’ve ever worked with on Rover. I look forward to working with him again very soon and my doggies will be thrilled to see him during my next trip. Thanks Brian!”
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 7 years old, so I’ve always been comfortable caring for dogs. Over the years, I’ve taken care of dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I started pet sitting on my own through friends, family, and referrals from other sitters. Since my dog is a senior, I also understand the extra patience and care older dogs need, while still being comfortable with younger, energetic dogs. I’m currently in college, with most of my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the morning through early afternoon. I also have flight training about 2–3 times a week, usually early in the morning or later at night. Outside of that, I’m usually home studying or doing homework, so I have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. I offer pet sitting in the client’s home and can make multiple visits throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m also available for overnight stays, depending on the day of the week and my schedule. Additionally, I offer dog-walking services and would be happy to accommodate your pet’s needs as much as possible!
“Sophia is AMAZING. We, the parents, didn’t meet her in person because we were out on a work trip and needed help last minute. Our dog had a mole that was in bad shape due to her licking on it, and Sophia took EXCELLENT care of her wound, was extremely careful, took pictures, and communicated with us all the time. She was sweet with our dog and patient while checking in on the wound and cleaning it and ensuring it was covered for the night. Our family members were taking care of our dog; they only speak Spanish, and Sophia managed to communicate and be super respectful and friendly with them too. Thank you, Sophia; you are an angel!”
“Ella was amazing, I loved how she came and met with my dogs before she started coming. And she was really understanding of one of my doggies being a little scared. But she took the time to let him warm up to her and get comfortable and for that I’m really appreciative. I definitely recommend booking with Ella and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
About: I grew up in a family that bred Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs has been part of my life from a young age. I have experience with puppies as well as adult dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and lots of attention! I’m also a dog mom myself and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. As a teacher, I’m dependable, patient, responsible, and attentive. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent schedule, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I also have school breaks and holidays throughout the year that give me additional flexibility for pet care. I’m happy to work with you to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m careful to follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and affection while respecting their personality and what they want. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“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!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Flash. You are dependable, helpful and kind. Flash and I appreciate you. I don’t worry about him on the days I know you’re going to be there.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
I am so thankful to have found Amber. We usually try to take our dog with us when we travel. This wasn't an option so we wanted our girl to feel some sense of normal while we were gone. Amber was wonderful and gave us peace of mind especially with a Tornado warning. We will definitely hire her again.
Jaycee was great to work with! We appreciated her enthusiasm to work with our cats. Jaycee was very flexible and communicative with us which made it a breeze to work with her. She is very experienced with cats which made us more at ease with having her take care of them. She even persisted with attempting to give our grumpy old cat medicine. We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.
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!
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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in West Melbourne on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,127 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Melbourne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Melbourne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, 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 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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
