Melissa was great! She took great care of Toby! She sent lots of pictures, and it looked like he had a nice time with her. She communicated well and did everything she said she would do. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I'd highly recommend her!

Melissa was AMAZING. She came to our home in advance of our trip to acquaint herself with our pup and his routine. She sent photos and messages all throughout the time we were away, which made us feel so happy and secure about the outstanding care she gave to our dog. She left her home in pristine condition. She went above and beyond our expectations. To top it all off, she's just a nice person! We will absolutely use her again.

So wonderful to have Melissa help with our pup! She was great about watching her, taking her for puppy walks and of course sending us lots of pictures!

Melissa was great!! She was super communicative before and during Oden’s stay with her. She sent videos and great pictures, took Oden on snowy adventures every day, and kept me in the loop when Oden was anxious and barking in his crate (which was new for us). Highly recommend!!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible and can work around your pets schedule to ensure they are taken care of properly. I enjoy taking them on a long walk around Nottingham or on a hike of their skill level.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to stay at the pets home for overnights but open to having them stay at my place if needed. I’m very close to trailheads and have a balcony for them to sunbathe. I like to meet the dog prior to sitting to ensure the dog is comfortable.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on hikes or to Nottingham. If they are friendly with other dogs I usually swing by the Edwards dog park or Bighorn park. I don’t like to leave the dog alone for too long so they can tag along on my day to day errands if they are allowed to go for car rides.

It’s important to know the dogs usual routine and how it interacts with other dogs. I like to connect with the owner on typical walk times and feeding times to keep with their schedule.
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.
