Information Melesia "Mel" W. would like to know about your pet

I like to prepare a list of questions before the meet and greet so I can get the general - medical sense for your pet like: Pet peeves, allergies, and medical problems in general to medication to logging them. Was (s)he a rescue? How long have you had him/her. Little but BIG things that I should know.

A typical day

Since I recently moved here Ive only been learning the new grounds from seeing and meeting new pets/ pet owners, so i'll usually walk freely and get kind of lost then spend the remaining time of the walk to get back home (doggy home).

Mel was great, she did a fantastic job taking care of our Nessie, you could see Nessie really liked Mel and we loved getting all the pictures and report cards for each and every visit. Would highly recommend Mel and will be happy to reach out to her next time we need a sitter or walker.

Mel is nothing short of amazing. I have a special needs dog who requires daily bleach soaks, foot washes and both topical and oral medications. I was terrified to leave the country for two weeks. Mel went above and beyond in her care for Bandida. She sent me regular updates photos And videos and I felt that Bandida was being cared for in the way that I care for her. Mel even bought her these adorable onesies for her to wear to bed so that she no longer has to wear her cone. I can’t recommend Mel enough! So excited we found her.

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.
