Dog lover!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was a young age. I have used Rover for over a year now and have loved caring for a range of different pooches! Be assured they are in the best hands. I provide daily updates and plenty photos of them to keep your mind at ease.

Melissa is absolutely lovely! Even Bruno, who is usually quite shy and reserved around new people, immediately showed signs of happiness when meeting Melissa and Remi. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of Bruno playing. I’ve dropped Bruno off twice so far, and each time he’s been genuinely happy to go and spend time with Melissa and Remi. I have another day booked with her, and I’m completely confident that Bruno is well looked after.

I would highly recommend Melissa, she was very patient with our French Bulldog, when he arrived he was nervous (and moody!) but she perservered until he relaxed. We recieved regular updates which put our minds at rest. Thank you both so much for welcoming Blue into your home.

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.
