Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Melrose

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows. I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

“Bradley was so great with my dog Midnight! His communication was amazing and I felt at ease leaving my dog in Bradley’s care. He went above and beyond to make sure my dog had what he needed while I was away and I am so grateful to have found him!!”

“Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.”

“Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.”

I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.

“Alex and our dog Opie hit it off and are beginning a new friendship. I appreciate that Alex communicates with me during their visits and is responsible and personable”

“Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.”

Maria S.

“Katie took excellent care of Benny while we were away!”

Christie D.

“Heather did an excellent job with my two cats! Daily progress reports and photos, even for the visits I was out of cell service. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Miranda did a great job with our kitty. She took great photos and wrote thorough updates. Kitty was happy and all was well when we came home.”

Julia F.

“I would highly recommend Debra to anyone. She has cared for our 5 cats many times over the past 2.5 years. We are so grateful that Debra always goes above and beyond. Excellent communication and attention to detail, including pictures with every visit. We have never had anything less than a 5/5 experience.”

About: I have great experience with all types of animals in all ranges of age and necessities. I have worked at a barn as well as volunteer at my local animal shelter. I also grew up fostering puppies and kittens as young as days old. I have multiple pets of my own and they are my whole world, I treat any animal with the same level of respect. I work part time but my schedule is very flexible with an enough time in advance. I am free pretty much all day on weekends and most consistently after 3 on weekdays. However my schedule does shift and I am an early riser so I can make most other times work. I currently do not offer home services in my personal house. At a clients home I will listen to whatever instructions are given and keep everything as similar as possible for overnight and drop-in visits to help keep stress levels down for your animal.

“This was my second time booking Jessica to take care of my cat. She did a great job and I came home to a happy cat and clean apartment! Thanks so much!”

About: I have a very dog friendly home with a dog door accessible to a large fully fenced in yard. If your dog enjoys swimming during the summer months, my pool is dog friendly. I enjoy sending photos and videos of your pup(s) all day long. I visit the dog park for ball throwing and safe, leashed walks 2-3 times a day. At home play breaks in the fenced in yard are common practice in my house. Snuggles on the couch are a must! My yard is completely safe for dogs. I always provide fresh water and enjoy spending time with dogs: petting them, playing with them, talking to them and walking them. Dogs are the best! They all have their own personality and there is something special and charming about every dog.

About: Trusted, Experienced Pet Care You Can Feel Good About Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve spent years volunteering at Humane Society shelters, working hands-on with dogs and cats of all temperaments, from energetic and playful to shy and anxious. That experience taught me how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve also rescued and raised my own pets—Bella (brown tabby), Nugget (orange tabby), and Mumble (Jack Russell Terrier from a kill shelter)—so I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal. Over the years, I’ve gained real experience walking, feeding, and pet sitting for animals with different personalities and needs. I know how to read behavior, build trust quickly, and adjust my care to each individual pet. What sets me apart: • Calm, patient approach (great for anxious or shy pets) • Reliable, detail-oriented, and highly communicative • Experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels • Genuine passion for animal welfare and safety I treat every pet like my own—not just making sure they’re cared for, but making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. You won’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I provide consistent updates so you always have peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to help.

“Lindsey was an absolute delight. Gave us very clear updates, followed our instructions to a T, and went above and beyond in taking care of Hank while we were out of town. Despite the short notice, she quickly bonded with Hank and was attentive to his needs. She even folded up his blanket into a nice bed and gave him dinner early so we didn’t have to worry about it when we got home. I will definitely ask for her help again soon.”

Finnley S.

“Eydid did an amazing job with his drop-in visit for my cat, Bella. She seemed so happy, relaxed, and comfortable in his care—it was clear she trusted him right away. Eydid is a trustworthy and dependable individual who followed all instructions perfectly and kept me at ease with his prompt communication. I’d hire him a million more times without hesitation!”
