Dog Walking Melrose

About: I have grown up with a family dog all my life and now have my own! I have loved and trained him since he was a puppy and consistently receive compliments on how he is such a good boy and how well-behaved he is! I have always enjoyed taking care of doggos for family and friends and am very excited to help take care of yours! I am very good with dogs of all ages including young puppies in their teething and potty training phase to senior dogs who want cuddles and sniffs. I am available for house sitting and will spoil your pet with attention, play time, and walks while you are off enjoying your vacation or trip. I am also available for drop-ins and walks! You can count on me to keep your pets safe and happy :-) I have a very flexible summer schedule and can keep your pets on the their typical routines! I am happy to follow any special instructions you have your doggo! Every pet is unique and my goal is to take care of your pet as you would so you can be care-free while you are away and sleep easy knowing your pet is in good hands. You can trust me to keep your pets safe and your home exactly as you left it. I will treat your home as if it was my own, just like your pet.

“Melissa was great with my dog! at first my dog was very shy but Melissa was patient and worked with my dog until she was conformable to go for a walk. Melissa responded quickly to my request and always took photos of my dog on the walk.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.

“Samantha was on time very morning to walk our dogs, was great about staying in touch with updates and photos. She was also super patient with our one pup who has been healing from a wounded shoulder so could/would only walk short distances. She was flexible and adaptable to make sure she still got attention. We were able to relax during vacation knowing Samantha was there every morning for our doggos.”

“Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him. They’re very Intuitive dogs that instantly pick up on someone’s nervousness or lack of confidence - but Paul comes in with a confident but clam nature that they sense immediately. Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.”

“Katie helped me out tremendously when I had to find a pet sitter to walk my dog Kava last minute, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and so kind. She was truly a life saver and I felt confident that Kava was in good hands.”

About: Hi there! 👋 I’m an animal lover through and through! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for them. Now, I have a pup of my own for my kids to grow up with — and we couldn’t imagine life without furry friends! 🐾 I’d love to help care for your pets as if they were my own — whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family member! ❤️ Pet care is my full-time focus at the moment, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and give both your pets and my children the attention they deserve. When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your routine as closely as possible — from walks and feeding times to play and cuddles — so your pet feels right at home even when you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always keep you updated with pictures and messages for peace of mind.

About: From a young age, I developed a deep love for animals, growing up surrounded by dogs and a cat. That passion continues today, and I’m now a proud cat mom to two beloved boys: a 4-year-old orange tabby and a 1.5-year-old tuxedo. I currently work in marketing and am applying to volunteer at local cat shelters to give back and spend more time with animals. For the past three years, I’ve also cared for a client’s three cats multiple times a year outside of Rover, in addition to regularly looking after friends’ and family’s pets while they’re away on vacation. Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life! Between feeding, playtime, and cuddles with my two cats, I’m used to having a consistent pet care routine. I work part-time in marketing, so I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to care for other pets too. I am very respectful of your house rules and extremely attentive to you and your animals needs. I can play, feed, and take pictures or videos of your fur babies.

About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I volunteer with Our Companions in their Adopt a Shelter program spending time visiting and walking dogs in local shelters, and I have volunteered at their animal sanctuary in Ashford walking dogs. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.

“Erin was great with my dog Willow. At the meet and greet she was professional and personable. Willow has a little trouble with meeting strangers for the first time and Erin handled it perfectly. Willow warmed up to her on the first walk and adapted to Willow’s initial shyness by feeding her from under our side table by the couch where she likes to hide. She took excellent photos and kept me informed. I highly recommend Erin.”
