Melissa spent 10 days with our boys (2 boxers) and allowed us to breathe easy and enjoy our trip. From the first time we interacted with Melissa, we knew we had met a caring person who would treat our boys like they were her own. Our hope is that she will do this for a long time so we never need to worry about who we leave our boys with 💕

Wonderful care and so conscientious. Very attentive and good at sharing how our pets are fairing with her. Goes above and beyond. Highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa is great with pets. Our dog Joey and cat Benny love her. I can tell because when I got home from my trip they looked at me like oh it's just you. She kept a good routine, provided us with updates and photos and our home was left very tidy. Kind-Hearted, responsible and very professional. I highly recommend Melissa to care for your pets too.

Should be a 6 & 7th star option as 5 is insufficient for how amazing Melissa is.

Our pup loves Melissa! It was our dog’s first time staying overnight with a sitter and Melissa went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. We did not worry about our anxious dog at all while we were away and loved the updates. We know our dog is in good hands!

I understand every dog is unique so I would like to know your dogs likes and dislikes when interacting with them before the first time. I can pick up on cues from them however I want to provide the best possible visit by knowing their uniqueness beforehand so your dog and I can be fast friends.
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.
