Dog Sitting Melrose

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been caring for pets for years. I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to follow any special instructions you have. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority! I work remotely most of the week, with the exception of Tuesdays, which gives me a lot of flexibility to pop in and care for your dog or cat during the day. I love being able to provide pets with attention and companionship throughout the day rather than having them spend long hours alone. When caring for your pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I’ll follow all instructions you provide for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space and individual personalities. Since I work remotely most of the week, I have the flexibility to stop by during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’ll also make sure fresh water is available, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left neat and secure after each visit.

We provide dependable, loving, worry-free care while you're at work or away from home. As pet-owners ourselves we know how heart-wrenching and worrisome it can be boarding your pet.

Also experienced in administering meds including insuline shots and subcutaneous fluids. Trained in canine CPR. We provide a comfortable home overnight experience and treat our client pets as if they were our own. We are happy to provide excellent references. This is my career so im working with dogs all day every day. I never leave the dogs alone in my house. If i need groceries i have them delivered. I have a fenced yard so dogs are free to run round. Dogs are free to roam inside as well. No crates unless specified by owner.

About: Hi! My name is Jhechel, but most people call me Kacey, which is my middle name. I have a medium-sized puppy named April. She came from a shelter, and although we’re not exactly sure what breed she is, we do know that she is incredibly loving, sweet, and affectionate. I live in a single-family home with a fenced-in front yard, which gives April plenty of space to enjoy. I have been working with dogs for the past three years and have experience caring for and training dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have a three-year-old dog of my own, whom I have been training since she was about four months old. April had a very difficult life before my family and I adopted her. She experienced abuse at a young age, which caused her to develop severe anxiety, especially around other dogs and men. It took months of patience, consistency, hard work, and lots of love to help her become more comfortable and confident. Seeing how far she has come has been incredibly rewarding, and it has taught me a lot about working with dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My family took in a senior dog named Bailey who was around 10 years old and suffered from severe cataracts, as well as pain and stress related to her age. Bailey had difficulty getting along with other dogs, but she and April became very close. April was extremely patient and gentle with her, and their bond helped improve Bailey’s mood and overall well-being. Bailey had also been a stray and had been missing from her previous home for about a week before coming to us. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to train, care for, and look after many puppies and dogs. Working with animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings me so much joy. I especially enjoy helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved, no matter their age, background, or personality. I am home all day for 3 days Friday, Saturday and Sunday. However I can be very flexible and will make time if needed, all I ask is to let me know ahead of time. I will make sure that the pets are fed on time and they are walked for the designated time the owner assigned and I will care and love them!

“Joanne was awesome! It's so evident that she cares for animals, and she sent us updates with pictures during each visit. I would 100% trust her with our fuzzies again.”

About: I like to think of myself as someone your dog—and maybe even you—will look forward to seeing. I’m a companion for you and your dog. I bring warmth, playful energy, and a touch of charm to every visit, making sure the client and your pet feels loved, happy, and completely at ease. I specialize in: Senior dogs: Patient, comforting care with plenty of attention High-energy dogs: Engaging play that leaves them tired and content Every visit is tailored to your pet’s personality, and I take pride in creating a connection that’s fun, comforting, and full of positive energy. Your dog will adore me—and I like to think their humans do, too. 😉with dimples Caring for pets isn’t just part of my day—it’s one of the highlights. Every morning are reserved for stretches, exciting playtime, —whatever the client craves to stay stimulated and satisfied. Check-ins with clients are all about feeding, cuddles, and playful attention to keep the tail wagging. Afternoons are reserved for energy, and a little fun, for the pup making sure everyone stretches their legs and starts the day happy. Evenings? That’s cuddle, brush, and relax time, helping your furry friend wind down and feel cozy. I like to think my schedule keeps pets and clients excited, comfortable, and looking forward to every interaction. Each day is tailored to your dog’s personality and energy, so they’re not just cared for—they’re spoiled in the best possible way. 😉with dimples. Animals need to be taken care of like a child. Depending on the age. They just need to be love just like how we search for love ourselves.

“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”

About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I first started walking my neighbors German Shepard when I was 12 years old and I grew up with three cats in the our household. I had my own dog Guiness who was a silly goofy boxer until last year. I’m comfortable around any size dog as well as cats I have a unique work schedule where I have pretty early shifts so please take a look before scheduling! I work Sunday 9am-3pm, Monday 7am-4:30pm, Tuesday 6am-3pm, Wednesday 7:30-3:30p as well as later a shift on Thursdays 12pm-8pm so I have availability most people won’t have with an 8am-5pm job. With working Sunday-Thursdays, I’m available all day On Fridays! When I had my dog this schedule was really nice so he would only be left alone at home for around 4 hours at a time. I know how important it is to make sure your pet gets their energy out and bathroom breaks when you’re not there. I make sure any environment I’m in is clean and pet friendly whether that means crating your dog if they need to be after visiting or making sure I’m aware of my surroundings in walks. My dog was reactive towards other dogs so I have experience with reactivity and will be aware of other dogs while on walks. During visits I would love to play with your pet with their toys, puzzles, or lick mats whatever they need I’m there! I do have experience giving dogs medication as well if that’s something you need! I don’t have experience giving cats medication.

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

Monique P.

“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”

“We’ve used Liz for our 7 month old puppy for about a month now and she’s been absolutely amazing! Liz has been incredibly flexible with our schedule, even doing a last-minute meet and greet before getting started and accommodating last-minute requests when our schedule changes. She takes such great care of our puppy and always sends thoughtful updates about how his day went, which we really appreciate. Our puppy Bogey absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every visit! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We highly recommend her!! Thanks for all that you do Liz!!”

About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.

“Ana has done a great job watching our Dallas every time! We were able to completely put our trust in her when we went out of town for a 4 day long trip. It is nice to know he is in good hands when she sends photos of them playing and is always punctual! I would highly recommend her!”

“Lindsey was great with my two pups. Twila is only 6-months-old and she's quite shy, while my other dog Chester is just over two-years-old. I had Lindsey do check ins the first week we got Twila as I was adjusting my work hours to accommodate a new puppy. Lindsey was timely, caring and patient with both of my dogs. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi everybody! My home is neat plus plenty of soft cozy places for pets to relax. The living room has big, bright windows with roomy ledges great for pet who love to gaze outside. Every corner is checked to make sure there’s nothing unsafe for them to nibble or accidentally ingest. Throughout the day,I offer play sessions based on your pets energy level. I work from home so I’ll always be there to give attention to your furry baby. i’d be happy to board your baby or drop in. I put a lot of heart into making sure every pet I look after feels comfortable, safe and genuinely cared for. I keep an eye on their meals, litter habits and overall mood so I can spot anything unusual right away and update you immediately if something needs attention. You’ll also get daily photos and videos giving you a sweet glimpse into how your little one is doing while you’re away!

About: I’m an extremely empathic, detail-oriented, very patient and fun-loving human who really loves creating connections with people and animals. My spirit animal is a lion! I have a flexible schedule. I’m currently pursuing my real estate license, so I make my own schedule for the most part and can work around you. I am unable to care for pets in my home, as my family members are allergic; however, I am happy to assist with drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sitting in your home.

About: Hey my name is Marina and I've loved animals since the day I was born. Large, small, slimy, or fluffy I love them all. Over the past 10 years I've volunteered for animal rescues across massachusetts. Working with animals from cats and dogs to alpacas and goats. I have training dealing with feral and shy cats as well as animals with an array of conditions requiring daily medication and intervention. Trusting someone with your fur babies is incredible hard, but know when your pet's with me your leaving them with someone who is guinely happy to be spending time with them. Hope to hear from you soon! I'm currently a full time pet sitter and dog walker. Animals are my life if im not volunteering im hanging out with my fur babies I'm fully understanding of many situations and circumstances. I'm always willing to adapt and to learn. Thats honestly the best part about working with animals is I'm always learning.
