Pet lover and WFH! Perfect combo

Pet care experience

I recently had to put down my dog of 15 years. Not quite ready for a new puppy but missing having dogs in my life. We have a fenced in back yard and lots of space for your dog to roam around the house! I also work from home most days so have lots of time to spoil your pooch.

Melissa was wonderful to work with. She was responsive, kind, and our little buddies home away from home!

Melissa was a perfect sitter. She was extremely communicative, timely, and clear. She sent updates each day and made us feel confident that our dog was being well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melissa.

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.
