Mellisa was amazing having never use Rover we were very hesitant in the beginning. After our initial meeting so comfortable leaving her baby with her for seven days. First time in four years we left her with someone. Through her constant contact and updates from start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. Now my wife and I are looking forward to our next trip

We’re so happy we found Melissa! She’s incredibly sweet and caring, and she took amazing care of our doodle, Jordi. She went above and beyond by sending detailed updates every day without us even asking, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Jordi had a blast with her and was in great hands! We can’t wait to use her again in the future!!

Melissa was such an amazing sitter for our baby boy! She was incredibly thoughtful and prepared and we even walked away with some tips on things to try with him as a puppy. She is someone we can rely on and know that Teddy is getting all the love and care he needs while we are gone. We will definitely be utilizing her again and can’t wait!

A typical day
