Really lovely to work with, took great care of my cat and uploaded photos daily. Was reliable and offered a pre meet before booking. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again! Thank you so much Melisa ❤️

Melisa did a brilliant job dropping in on my cat Syd, she provided daily updates and photos and it was clear she done a great job. Thankyou for everything

Melisa was wonderful - calm, collected and a brilliant presence. Lenny felt super chilled with her, and the entire booking went off without a hitch. Would very much recommend to anyone

We have just returned home from a 3 night break to two very happy girls🐾🐾🐾 Melisa kept us informed the whole time with photos & text messages. I would definitely recommend Melisa she’s such a calm lovely lady.

I booked Melisa for a few drop in visits when I was away for a few days. From the start, she responded to queries and messages promptly. She took a lovely picture of my cat unfortunately I had to cut my trip short after one visit and she was so accommodating in helping me find the best way to ensure I wasn't massively out of pocket for visits I no longer needed. I will definitely be booking with Melisa for any future trips I take.

I am currently a full time keeper at Call of the Wild Zoo in Chelmsford on a variable rota, so I can’t guarantee my availability during the day but I am available evenings, overnights, and some days. Please inquire and I will let you know a better idea of my availability for your requested dates and please let me know if the timings you’ve requested with Rover are flexible :) (Generally the closer the date, the more accurate my availability)

Please let me know of any behaviours common for your pet such as social anxiety, aggression towards other dogs or people (dog walking), separation anxiety, outdoor cats, urinating in the house, eating/chewing things that are not food, etc. These behaviours don't mean I won't take your booking!! I just need to know so I can adapt my method of care and be prepared for any situation!
