Melanie was professional and reliable. She ensured we had a meet and greet before agreeing to the booking. Melanie provided daily updates and made sure my girl was loved and exercised. I highly recommend Melanie to care for your canine!

Melanie and her dog Ollie were great hosts for our dog Mabel. Mabel had a great time and it really seemed like Melanie went out of her way to make Mabel feel at home.

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.
