Pet care experience

Rover is my favorite excuse to get out for walks! I have also cared for cats. I grew up in a house with dogs my whole life (black labs!) and have rescued 2 dogs of my own (a beagle pit mix, and a cattle dog pit mix). I am used to taking dogs out to let out their energy and get a break when you don’t have time. I always send photos and love getting to know their unique personalities. I'm a great communicator and don't hesitate to ask questions if I have them. I can't wait to meet some new neighborhood friends!

We always feel comfortable when the whole family leaves town when we have Mel taking care of our furry one. Thank you!

This was the fist time I used Rover and was lucky to find Mel. It was a very last minute booking and she was able to take the information I sent her and follow through seamlessly!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
