Melissa, thank you for taking care of Rolo 15/5 whilst we went out. He was completely calm and chilled on our return. Xx

Melissa stayed in our home for a week to look after our 13 year old cocker spaniel. He was well looked after and had lots of walks and cuddles. She sent us daily updates and photos, the house was lovely and clean when we got home too. Will be booking Melissa again.

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.
