Melissa and her daughter are so wonderful! Her check ins are timely, she’s communicative, and she always lets me know how my cat is doing on the Rover cards. And based on the pics I know he loves them! Thanks again!!

Melissa is so great with my cat! She’s prompt and sends the best pictures. Love having her and her daughter help me when I travel because I know my cat loves them too. Thanks to you both!

Melissa is reliable and great with communication. My dogs love her and she has just the right balance of affection and discipline with them to make sure that all of the good habits we've been working on are reinforced when she takes them on walks. Highly recommend!

Melissa took such good care of my sweet little Butternut while I was out of town - she even brought treats, and Butternut seemed so happy when we came back from our trip :) Melissa is also prompt about sending photos and updates, which I really appreciate. I would recommend her to watch any pets, she is super responsive, thoughtful, sweet and loves cats and dogs!!

Melissa is very caring and attentive to our pup! When she come over, our little CoCo is so happy to see her and Melissa always sits with CoCo and pets and lives her before we start to visit. When Melissa take care of CoCo, I never have to worry about messes or CoCo being lonely. Melissa is very caring and sweet to our pup and when we had a kitty. She is very lovable to all pets. She is trustworthy and very reliable.

Let me know if your dog/cat has any special preferences or habits. We want to provide the most personable experience possible so you feel confident your pet gets attention, love, care you would give. We have a hard time leaving ours and imagine it can't be easy for you either!
