Dog Walking Melrose

About: I have always been around animals since I was little varying from small dogs to big dogs and to cats. I’ve always done my best to care and love each of those animals so they feel loved and cared for. I’m currently in cosmetology school part time and working but depending on how this goes I would love to do this more I attend school tue-Thursday 4pm-7:30pm and Saturday 9:30am-5:00pm but I would love to squeeze in anything available! I treat them as my own so I will love them and take care of them 1000% as I would my own as every animal deserves the best care and love to make them feel comfortable especially when their best friend(s) or parents are away or just need a little potty break.

About: Since middle school, I have grown up caring for many different animals. I was responsible for the care of my pets; including two rabbits, three guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and four snakes. All of these pets lived a very lavish and spoiled life. During high school, I used my volunteer hours fostering dogs, rehabilitating them for their forever homes. The care for these dogs included feeding, walking/playing, training, and medical care. I started working in the veterinary medicine field almost two years ago. This field has given me the experience of providing compassionate medical care, no matter the patient. I am now a full time student studying for radiology. I am a full time student, in which I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free in the early mornings and late afternoons of those two days. The rest of the week is completely free besides the 2-3 hours I spend studying for school. I tend to be very watchful with pets and do not like to let animals out without some sort of lead unless your yard is fenced in. I will always prioritize safety over anything else to ensure a safe and positive experience for all parties involved. I also ask that I be either provided an emergency contact and/or a preferred veterinary caretaker in case (god forbid) an emergency does come up. I also ask that if a pet is receiving medications, there are clear directions with clear times to administer medications.

About: Hello, I am an animal lover of all kinds. I have always had a dog and cat among other pets in my life, whether by others or my own. In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

“Marie is great! Our puppy really liked her upon first meeting and we'll continue to hire her anytime! Great communication and reliable.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve taken care of animals from all walks of life for as long as I can remember! I’m also a second year veterinary student at UF with experience working part time in a pet hospital, so health and general well-being are my highest priorities for your fur babies! Troubled pup? No prob! My own dog took years of training and guidance to get him to be comfortable around people and able to walk on a leash, so I am willing to help out with dogs from all backgrounds and all training levels! Send me a message, and we can chat about our next visit! Being a full-time veterinary student means I'm usually busy learning how to better take care of your pets Monday through Friday during normal business hours. HOWEVER, there is usually a 1-2hr block cut out of each of my days where I can easily sneak out to take your furry friend on a walk or let them out to go potty! At my home - While I have no fenced yard, my apartment complex has an on-site dog park that's left mostly unused, and we live less than 10 minutes from awesome walking locations like Depot Park, Northside Park, or even just walks around the neighborhood (Stephen Foster area). I do have a kitty named Capybara at home, but she's a recluse who will likely pay no mind to any furiends we have staying with us. Seeing as she keeps herself pretty occupied with napping and watching squirrels from her catio, I will plenty of time to spare for your fur baby! On walks - walking a dog is a truly bonding experience and I prioritize my clients comfortability with our outdoor activities! I love hiking and long walks, but short walks around the block are also good! I love getting the opportunity to get out and active with a four-legged fur friend by my side! Having had reactive dogs of my own, I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and always keep babies on leash to ensure safety and positive experiences on every trip! Have a gentle leader? No fear, I’m very experienced with using one and can even help train your pet to be more comfortable in one as well! Have questions? Don’t be shy! Send me a message, and I’m sure we can work out what’s best for you and your pet!

About: I have taken care of several pets of family and friends over the last few years through house sitting and drop ins. Most pets I have encountered warm up to me quickly. I enjoy playing with the pets I meet and helping reinforce skills their pet parents have taught them. For this reason multiple family and friends have requested I petsit their pets repeatedly and I enjoy spending time with their furry loved ones each time! My schedule is flexible, so I can take care of your pets when most times. I am most available during the day between 7am -5pm. I am happy to take dogs on a walk during the day, and serve pets their meals. I can also play with them and provide them some company if they need it.

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. I’ve taken care of anywhere from small dogs for large dogs and even fish. I am currently a 4th year college student so I will have plenty of time on the weekdays and weekends. My schedule is very flexible all days of the week. I live at a safe apartment complex and I have no pets of my own so your pet will be safe and sound. I have a couple dog toys that I am more than happy to share.

About: I have been dog sitting on Rover for the past ten years and have loved it always. I give pet owners updates 2-3 times a day with pictures or videos of your pet so you dont have to worry about them when you’re away. I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! I live right across from a huge fenced-in dog park which we can explore anytime. We can run around all day, and when we're all tired, we can lounge on the couch and relax. I take daily walks, which your pet is welcome to join. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading every day so other than a few hours throughout the day, I am on site I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me

“Absolutely the best. Marty is very communicative and reliable. After just one week of dog play/walks it was clear to us that he has a ton of experience with animals and it really shows. Will definitely be hiring him again!”

About: I’m ready to be a fur baby grandma and come spoil yours while you’re away!! <3 I brought home my first furry friend when I was about 10, his name was Fuzzy and he was a hamster. Many years later, I became the proud mama of two chihuahuas. They were males, named Bo and Max. My friend aptly labeled them land piranhas. Bo lived to be 16 and Max was almost 19. During the same time I rescued a cat, Napoleon, later in life he was diabetic and I gave him shots of insulin every 12hrs for years. He lived to be about 15. I adopted two ridgeback retrievers who grew up to be about 90lbs each, Dude (7) and Jethro (10). Jethro was diagnosed with a nerve sheath tumor in his hip and I administered pills in AM and PM. Over the years I also taken in 3 different kittens from my friend’s property. Einstein (11), Charlotte (10) and Gilly who is still alive and well at about 5 years old. I also care for Chloe, a 6 year old blue heeler. This is currently my primary focus for work so I can definitely be flexible to meet your needs and look forward to helping care for your pet(s). Routine is usually a big part of an animal’s comfort. I am committed to learning your routine and making sure your animal stays relaxed in your absence.

About: I am a dog mom myself of a (spoiled rotten) German Shepherd named Lyla. She’s taught me so many valuable lessons that helped me care for others animals as well. I have knowledge about breeds and their specific needs. I will go above and beyond for your four legged child! I have pet care routine daily with my dog at home! I also assist my sister with care for her brand new 8 week old kitten. I always make sure my dog is happy and comfortable with her surroundings. The same goes for others pets! (Of course with your consent) I will always take your dog on fun trips to the pet store, bake yummy homemade treats fit to their needs and allergies, etc. I will always make sure that your dog/cat is comfortable with their surroundings and get plenty of love while their favorite humans are away!

About: I’m new to Rover, but caring for animals is a familiar and meaningful part of my life. I have cared for dogs of many different breeds and personalities, and my family and I have helped rescue more than a dozen dogs and cats, care for them, and find them loving homes. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide thoughtful, dependable care. I follow your instructions closely and aim to make your dog feel secure and welcome while you’re away. For boarding, I welcome only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time. This allows me to give your pets my undivided attention and provide a calm, personal experience. I have a resident cat, and if your dog is not comfortable around cats, I will keep my cat in a separate room throughout the stay. I’m retired, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a priority throughout the day. I can plan feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest around your dog’s usual routine. My home has a fenced yard, and a nearby park offers another option for walks, depending on your dog’s needs and comfort level. I board only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time, so your pets receive my undivided attention while you’re away. I follow your feeding and care instructions and provide regular potty breaks and walks suited to your dog. Outdoor time in my fenced yard is supervised. I have a resident cat. If your dog does not get along with cats, I will keep my cat safely in a separate room throughout the stay, with no direct contact between them. Before a booking, we will discuss your dog’s behavior, routines, and any special needs to make sure my home is a good fit.
