Pet care experience

I’ve been brought up in a dog filled family and have owned 3 dogs myself, training them from puppies and being with them through all life stages including specialised medication.

Communication was good, Melissa has high energy and lots of experience. Make sure you give her details of special requests / needs for your dog so she can support appropriately.

Mel and Steve are bloody lovely people! Leo has his needs and they took the time to meet him, listen and adapt their routine. Leo was happy with them and it took encouragement to leave with me. The updates on how he was settling was brilliant and much appreciated.

Melissa and Steve are the absolute best. Olive adores them and always bounces in when we drop her off, complete with full body wagging! Olive is so well looked after by them - and we have full trust and reassurance in them. We will always use them.

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.
