She’s fantastic!! Communication is a priority for every pet owner and she goes ABOVE & BEYOND!! She gave our two dogs bones they had fun playing with the other dogs! It was very nice feeling like our dogs were taken care as well as we take care of them!

Great dog sitter! She takes amazing care of my dog and I always feel comfortable leaving her there. My dog loves going over, which says it all. Super reliable and caring, highly recommend!

Melody was very easy to communicate with, she was very attentive to Buddy and his needs. Accommodating in our unpredictable schedule while we were in the area was a pleasure for us.

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.
