Melissa is timely, follows instructions, and cares for our boys while we are gone. Thank you and we recommend for house sitting services.

Melissa, was great with Pyper. This is the first time we have left our pup with someone from Rover. The first time we ever boarded Pyper was 4 years ago at a doggie daycare, that was so traumatic that we decided never to do that again. We are glad we found Melissa on Rover, we would definitely request her services again. She sent photos and updates. Our pup was clearly loved on and attended to while we were away for 6 days. This experience was far less stressful for our pup and we felt a lot better leaving her with a family than boarding her. Melissa was reassuring and understood our concerns/worries about leaving Pyper. This was a positive experience and we do hope to be able to utilize Melissa's services again in the near future.

Melissa did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and made sure the dogs were happy and well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to two happy pups. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!

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.
