Melissa was very detailed with her care for our boys. She did not hesitate to ask questions or make additional accommodations for our piggy Artie. She left the house tidy and made sure our boys were happy over the holiday.

Melissa did an excellent job caring for our senior cat while we were away! We’ll definitely hire her again next time!

Melissa was a life saver when I needed last minute care for my fur babies. She came to visit with them very early in the morning and late at night as well as the daytime visits. I’m very grateful.

Melissa was great! She played and walked my dog and took great care of him while I was away. She also sent photos to keep me updated!

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.
