Melissa was a LIFE SAVER this past week when my scheduled sitter had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency. This was a tough situation because my little guy had recently lost his big sister and I was worried about him having stay with someone without her for the first time. After a quick meet and greet he seemed very comfortable with Melissa and I can say after picking him up, he was happy as a clam! To say I was relieved is an understatement!!! I cannot recommend Melissa enough!!!!

Melissa was really sweet and Loki felt very comfortable with her! She sent us updates throughout the stay too. Pick up and drop off was really easy!

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.
