Melissa took wonderful care of our old girl Kilo! Kilo had a bit of a cough and Melissa was absolutely on top of her meds. We got plenty of updates throughout the week, and tons of precious photos of Kilo having fun with Melissa and the kids! We're so happy that Kilo had a little vacation of her own while we were away.

This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with Melissa and the love her family gave my sweet little Louie. We booked an overnight boarding for 3 nights and her service and communication were next to none. I greatly appreciate her daily photo updates, as it secured not only myself but the fact my kids were just as pleased to know that their fur brother was in great hands . I’d definitely be willing to book her again and recommend her services to anyone looking for a compassionate caregiver!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was excellent with the communication and pictures and I felt so good to see my dog happy while I was out of town taking care of business. Melissa will forever be my dog sitter for my pup.
