Cat Sitting Melrose

“This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure how the whole thing would work out. But Caroline came to the house a few days prior so I could show her where everything was (and meet the kitties) and she was so sweet, polite and engaging that I was instantly at ease. She communicated well, took a lot of pics, kept us updated after each visit and seemed to genuinely care about the animals in her care.”

About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.

“Carol was very communicative and great at following instructions. She took great care of our kitties. I would recommend her and book her again!”

“Isabella is the best! She is the only person who is able to successfully give my cat her meds and is very patient with her. She is very responsive and detailed in her visit summaries as well.”

“Nick did such an amazing job with my 3 month old puppy!! It was her first time being left along for so long and Nick helped her ease into it with awesome play breaks. Nick is the best!”

About: Hi, I’m Lilia! I’m 20 years old and have been a proud pet owner for over 10 years. I share my home with two wonderful cats, but my love for animals extends to dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s a lively walk, some playful fetch, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and always happy to adjust to your pet’s needs and routine. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them the same care and attention I give my my own! I am available afternoons/evenings on weekdays! I also have some open availability in the mornings. I am still a student with a Part time job. I am in an apartment with a front yard and walking distance from parks. A lot of nature around me, and lots of places for some fun walks.

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Technology and hands-on experience working as a veterinary technologist in general medicine. Caring for animals isn't just something I love, it's something I've been professionally trained to do. I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, following special diets, and recognizing changes in a pet's health or behavior that may need veterinary attention. I've worked with animals of all ages and personalities. I've also genuinely loved animals my entire life. I grew up with police dogs, have a dog of my own who I raised from a puppy, and share my home with my eight cats, six of whom I've raised from kittens. Whether I'm caring for a healthy puppy who needs some structure, a senior who needs a little extra attention, or a pet with a laundry list of medical needs, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. Your animal’s comfort is my biggest priority. I am currently freelancing, so much of my time is spent at home or bringing my dog on outdoor adventures nearby. Pet care is a round-the-clock part of my life with my own pets, and I genuinely enjoy having animals around. I have a very friendly dog who I raised from a puppy and three cats of my own. I live in a spacious condo with plenty of room to roam and a dedicated sunroom for cats, aka the Kitty Haven, where they can comfortably retreat and have their own space. I have a crate available if needed and am very well-versed in crate training and dog training. My home is already set up for animals, with plenty of pet supplies, toys, and space for them to be comfortable. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual routine, personality, and needs, and I want them to feel at home rather than like they're staying somewhere unfamiliar.

“We hired Gabrielle to house sit our cat for a week and she did an amazing job! She gave him his daily medicine timely and took excellent care of him throughout.”

“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”

“Justin was great with our 2 senior whippets. He is prompt and reliable. We definitely recommend him for your pet’s needs!”

“Cierra was incredible. My cat has some gut issues and had some small accidents while I was away! Cierra was very communicative and helpful I would definitely recommend her”

Mariangela A.

“Cheuck and Michal were so amazing when taking care of our 2 cats. They communicated well, sending pictures and updates. They also cleaned our bowls and litter - so kind! I will definitely be using their services again and I recommend to anyone that needs boarding for their furry friends.”

About: I had a reactive dog for 10 years and have dog sat my brother’s three blue heelers many times, and if you know anything about blue heelers, it’s that they’re crazy! The pictures on my profile are from our cross country road trip with our two cats and dog, so we are definitely the type of couple that wants our pets to go on adventures with us. I’m an outdoors enthusiast so I would take your dog out on hikes, but I also know the importance of mental stimulation - We have a lot of puzzles and snuffle mats from our late dog. My partner and I will be tag teaming to take care of your fur babies! I telework regularly while my partner works remotely full time, so there will always be someone home with your pup! We enjoy going on hikes and live in a walkable city, so would take your dog out on coffee runs too. We have a fenced in yard, but we’re also very close to the Fells and other parks to take your dog out for some fresh air and exercise. We have a senior cat who is very friendly and curious and is used to being around dogs!

About: I grew up with a chocolate Lab named Max, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. A few years ago, I started pet sitting for friends and quickly realized how much I enjoy getting to know dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My lease doesn't allow pets, otherwise I'd have a dog of my own in a heartbeat! Until then, I love spending time with other people's pups and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I work from home, so I have some flexibility during the week to fit in walks, check-ins, and pet care. I'm also available on weekends, holidays, and some evenings. I enjoy getting outside and staying active, so I'm always happy to have a dog join me for a walk! I care for pets in their own homes, where they're most comfortable and can stick to their usual routines. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and whatever exercise or playtime they're used to. I know every pet is different, so I'm happy to adjust to their needs, whether that means long walks, lots of cuddles, or giving them their space. I'll also make sure your home is secure, follow any specific instructions, and send regular updates and photos while you're away.

About: grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for them comes naturally. My experience looking after children makes me patient, responsible, and loving — the same way I care for every dog or cat, as if they were part of my own family. I am available for pet care from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as I work with children in the afternoons. During this time, I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, medication administration, and lots of attention to ensure pets feel safe and happy. I’m flexible with occasional early mornings or later pickups if needed I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. I create a calm and clean environment, provide fresh food and water, and supervise them at all times. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including medication or special care, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.

About: For the past five years, friends and family have trusted me to not only to care for their pets but also to house sit while they’re away. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing and playtime ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need . Whether it’s an energetic dog or a shy cat, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe loved and well cared for. I currently work full-time with a hybrid schedule. I am available Mondays and Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to accommodate needs like walks, feeds, grooming, administering medication, playtime, or even just cuddles. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m maintained regular feeding schedules provide plenty of playtime and ensure they have a cozy space to rest. In clients homes, I treat their space and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. I follow their routines closely - feeding walking playtime and any special instructions- so pets experience as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the home stays secure and clean, providing peace of mind for pet owners while they’re away.

About: I've been taking care of all types of pets for 15 years and give them all the love and comfort they can handle. From puppies to seniors, pet meds administration, etc. Couch potatoes to marathon walkers, all are welcome :) I work from home with a flexible schedule for all types of pet needs, from walks to boarding to house visits. I offer pick up and drop off for your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard with sun/shade and two floors that accommodate all types of pet personalities. They can be together or separate from others.

“Ana was absolutely wonderful with my cat while we were away! She took such great care of him and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and so sweet with him, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. Being away from Meelo for so long can always make me a little nervous, but having Ana check in on him gave me so much peace of mind throughout our trip. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust and book Ana again in the future. you so much for taking such good care of our kitty! 🤍”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them since I was five years old. Over the years, my family has had up to three dogs at a time, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I am comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and always aim to make them feel loved, safe, and happy. Whether it is a long walk or quiet company, I treat every pet like my own. As a nurse and full-time student, I am looking for a rewarding study break with a furry companion. My schedule is flexible, and I am available to provide pet care several days a week. Spending time with animals is the perfect balance to my busy routine, and I love turning those breaks into quality time for your pet. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I take extra care to ensure doors and gates are secure, walks are done safely, and pets receive the attention they need. Whether it is playtime, feeding, or just company, I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Great communication. Took care of Lola's medication and food twice a day and gave me great reports on her condition as well as pictures. Great peace of mind on my trip.”
