Dog Sitting in Dumfries

About: I’ve taken care of my pets and friends’ pets for the last few years whenever they have needed it. Mainly walking, drop in visits, and occasional pet sitting. I love playing with pets if they are playful! I currently work from home so it’s fairly easy for me to take my lunch break or mornings to give some extra attention to your pets. I am not able to currently care for pets in my own home, however I’ll be able to tend to your pets in your home however you’d like. I have experience in dog, cat, and bird care so I’ll be able to adjust to your pets needs.

“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”

About: I am active duty military and a dog mom to a sweet American Bulldog named Kobe. I have grown up with pets my entire life and consider them family :) I have a flexible schedule, I am punctual, and attentive. I have a flexible schedule and can work with you to personally develop a plan that works! Please message me before completing the booking request. I have a fenced back yard, as well as, am located in a dog-friendly neighborhood that features a great dog park and is safe for walks.

About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also love taking long walks and exploring different trails. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks to relaxed companionship at home. I understand how important routines, patience, and attention to detail are—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, or just providing lots of love and playtime. With my background in structured, detail-oriented work, I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your dog’s well-being. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. As a full-time school teacher, I’m available for pet care after 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. During the workday, there is someone home to let dogs out into the backyard, ensuring they get regular breaks, fresh air, and attention. I prioritize consistency and clear communication, so you’ll always know your pet is being cared for on a reliable schedule. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, loving home with a fully fenced backyard—perfect for supervised outdoor time and play. I also have a friendly 3-year-old pup who loves to play and socialize, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy companionship. Inside, dogs are treated like family, with plenty of attention, comfort, and a calm, structured environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether they prefer playtime, relaxation, or a mix of both.

About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.

“Somaya is great! One of my doggos threw up and she was very responsive, gave great detail, and cleaned it up. Doggos is fine and she also followed up later in the night to confirm he was still okay. Def recommend!”

About: We are a pet family! My husband and I have had dogs, but now love on 2 spoiled cats! We cannot board at our current location due to landlord restrictions, but I would be happy to love on your pets in your home. I accept well behaved dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am experienced with administering oral medication, ear and eye drops, post surgical care, and oral chemotherapy administration, as well as senior pets. I can offer dog walking, cat care, and small animal care. I am also a plant mom and would be happy to water your plants while you are away! I have a flexible schedule and am able to offer care most days. I do not have any restrictions as far as morning or afternoon visits. Care will be tailored to the needs of each pet. Pet safety is my number one priority, and I will not expose any pet to an environment that could put them in danger, or possibility of escape.

“Lily was great and took really good care of my pup while I was gone! She sent lots of pictures with every check-in. I would recommend her!”

About: I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I've consistently provided loving and responsible care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. My background includes daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, and ensuring a comfortable environment for furry friends. My passion for animals shines through in my attentive care, regular updates, and commitment to maintaining open communication with pet parents. I somewhat recently lost my last furry family member to lymphoma. I’ve yet to get another one as it is difficult losing our furry family member. I would take them out first thing in the mornings, if they didn’t wake us up earlier to go outside. Then give them their breakfast and play/cuddle with them.
