House Sitting in Melrose

“Haley is just the best. She truly understands both my dog’s needs and mine! She knows the breed well, has taken the time to learn his quirks, and manages him with love and care. Her communication is always clear and effective – she keeps me updated on how my dog is doing and lets me know about any issues on at the house. I always feel at ease knowing Haley is taking care of him.”

“Ruth took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and messages which I really appreciate! She even taught our younger dog a new trick! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“We had Chris come do an in-home stay for the first time with our reactive pitbull and he crushed it! Reactive dogs are not the easiest to find sitters for and Chris was very accommodating with setting up a meet and great before hand and had even done his own research ahead of time to make sure he was knowledgeable before going through the introduction process. Our dog warmed up to him right away and she was able to immediately identify him as a safe person since he was so calm and easy going with her. When it came time for him to stay, all that was needed was a quick reminder and they were best buds for the rest of the weekend. He quickly learns her quirks. He sent daily pictures and updates. Then when we returned, our mail was stacked on the counter and the house was very neat, just as we left it, which is always appreciated when someone stays in your home. During the introduction stage he even requested to be shown where our cleaning supplies were and when our trash gets taken out. Chris was not only an excellent dog sitter, but a great house sitter as well! We are frequent travelers and will definitely be continuing to use Chris.”

“Mary was an amazing pet sitter to our dog. She sent photos and videos daily. I could tell by the videos and photos that our dog was very well taken care of while we were away and it took the stress out of traveling, knowing that she was in such good hands. I would definitely have Mary back to pet sit. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha was great with the pups! She was very communicative and provided daily updates and pictures. I could tell the pups had a great time with her, especially with the cuddles and playing fetch. She left the house very clean. I highly recommend Samantha for taking care of your pups and house sitting!”

“Linda was friendly and trustworthy! My dogs immediately liked her! She was easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures while we were away! She made us feel at ease with leaving our two dogs while we were away. Linda took great care of our older dogs and gave them lots of love and attention (probably more then they even get from us!!) She was outstanding and we would love to have her dog sit for us again in the future!!”

“Rachael was fabulous. Prompt, great communication, responsible, left the house immaculate and our pup loved her. Will definitely contact again and would highly recommend her 🐾👍”

Jennifer C.

“Annie was AMAZING! She took such great care of our babies. Patches has anxiety, and unfortunately gets sick sometimes from it, and Annie went above and beyond on making sure she was OK. She also sent us pictures and a video while we were away. Highly recommend this young lady!!”

“Kayla stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her for any of your needs with babysitting your animals when you’re thinking of getting away. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future.”

About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have lots of experience feeding, walking, and taking care of them! I also have experience with senior animals! Mostly available evenings and weekends. I will work with you to schedule times that work for you and your animals. I will be as flexible as possible! For dogs, I can walk, feed, play with them, and give them medicine if needed. For cats, I can play, feed, change litter boxes, and make sure they are happy!

About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.

“Samantha is an awesome house sitter! Peaches takes to Sam when she arrives at our home! Sam was at our house for 3 weeks and she takes care of our home as if was her home!! She takes our call when we want to see Peaches! Thank you for the loving care of Peaches!!🍑 💕”

“Jaclyn was great! She got along with our dogs like she knew them from day one of them joining our family. She went above and beyond to take care of them thank you so much to Rover and especially Jaclyn.”

“Shea was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Shea is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Shea again!”

“Olena was amazing! Extremely friendly, well prepared, arrives on time, perfect communication, and really knows what she’s doing when it comes to taking care of animals!”

About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.

“Alexis has been an amazing sitter for my babies! The one can be a handful with a combination of hound and puppy energy that can make anyone weary, but Alexis was great with him! I came home to a house that looked better than I left it! She was very communicative and sent photos, too. I am already using her in a few weeks again and wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again!”

“Carol was wonderful with our dog, Brutus, while away on business trips. She was super comfortable with him, very experienced with a range of dog behaviors and medical issues, and provided frequent updates and photos. I would leave Brutus in her care any time and know he’s in great hands!”
