Top rated Melrose cat sitters
“Mary did a good job watching our cat, even though our cat was extremely shy, and hardly made an appearance. Mary took care of our cats needs, and kept our home tidy, and was punctual about being here on time. Also great communication. Would recommend Mary anytime.”
“Rachel went above and beyond taking care of our cat. She was patient, attentive, communicated well and often in her reports, and sent numerous wonderful (and adorable) photos. We will definitely be reaching out again and would highly recommend her!”
“Katie was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She was very responsive and always gave us updates on how they were doing. Our cats loved her! Would definitely book Katie again the next time we’re away.”
“Jessica and her husband were wonderful with my cats while we were away for two weeks. Very attentive, respectful, caring, and kept in touch throughout. Highly recommended and will be using her services again when we need any pet sitting!”
“Sammy was incredible with our two dogs, Penny and Hazel! She followed every detail we left (and there were a lot!), including feeding schedules, leash instructions, and even some quirky habits. Sammy kept us updated and truly treated our pups like her own. We’d absolutely recommend Sammy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be asking her again next time we go away!”
“Erin took great care of our 2 year old cat while we were away. Being the first time we have left our baby for an extended period of time, I was extremely nervous, but Erin was prompt in responding and very understanding of our scheduling needs. We trust that Calix will be in good hands and plan to book Erin for our next travels.”
“Jen is a super caring, wonderful sitter! She spent time with my cats, gave amazing updates and went above and beyond. One of my cats is very shy around sitters and barely comes out. With Jen, she came right out no problem! I highly recommend Jen for your pet sitting needs.”
“Amber did an awesome job with our three kitties. She treated them like they were hers, even when one left her a couple of presents. She sent pictures and updates on how they were doing every day. Thanks Amber for doing a great job 👏”
“Hannah was a lifesaver! She was available last minute before the holidays after our other sitter canceled and handled Teddy’s care perfectly! Thanks to Hannah we had peace of mind during our hectic holiday travel. We would happily leave Teddy in her care again!”
“Samantha was AMAZING! She sent photos and checked in each AM and PM when she came to feed our cats. We came home and they were happy and well fed, and their eating area and litter boxes were both clean and well kept. We recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter that provides peace of mind!”
About: I treat every dog like family, not just a booking. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m reliable with routines, attentive to special needs, and always send photo updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. With me, your pup gets more than just the basics—they get patience, playtime, and genuine love. I work from home so your furry friend will have 24/7 care and interaction! They will never be alone. Me and my dog will always be here to keep them company. I have a large yard to keep your fur baby entertained. We do allow dogs on our couch. But they can also be crated if that is your preference.
“Brittany was amazing with my pitty. This was my first time having someone check in on her, especially, since she is a very hyper & energetic pitbull. I will definitely be requesting service from her in the future!”
“Elizabeth was great!! It was our first time using her services and we were very pleased. She texted us every day to let us know how our kitties were doing. We would definitely use her services again.”
