House Sitting in Melrose

“We had a great experience with Josselyn! She watched our year and a half old husky while we were at work and kept us updated throughout the day. She was very attentive to his potty training needs, took him out often, and took him on a long walk to help get his energy out. She even brought him a special treat after checking with us about allergies, which we really appreciated. He was clearly well cared for, and she will definitely be our go-to sitter!”

“Kristina was great! We came home to a happy pup that was well taken care of. She was great communicating and sent us updates often. She also took great care of the apartment and was respectful of our things. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future pup sitter needs.”

About: I have dog sit for many dogs. I have experience with owning and taking care of medium to large dogs such as labs, goldens, and shepards! I am great with senior dogs as well! I live in Medford MA and work in Newton MA. These two areas are where my ideal clients will be located. I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday and will be available for bookings Friday afternoons through to Sunday evenings (in some cases, Monday mornings) I am available for house sitting or boarding your pet ( boarding at my residence in Medford MA ) I am very comfortable around dogs and I believe in the importance of getting your pet out for exercise! Walks and running around are just as enjoyable for me as they are for them. Potty breaks are frequent as i learn your pet and my space is clean to ensure your pet is comfortable. I look forward to working with you! Available weekends only.

“Sydney was great with Rhubarb! She checked in with us and sent a few pictures of Rhubarb while we were out of town for the weekend. She was communicative and when Rhubarb had a problem she contacted us immediately. We came back to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We would book with Sydney again.”

“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”

“Natalie house sat this weekend for our recently rescued 7 1/2 yr old wheaten. She was both professional and compassionate. We were very pleased with her work and have already booked her for a week later in the year. It is with great confidence and pleasure that we recommend her to you”

“Mandy was great with our two dogs. She gave us very detailed updates about how they were doing and the things they did that day. She would take them on walks and a few other adventures as well and took plenty of pictures of them. She even went above and beyond by dehydrating a chicken breast so they could have chicken jerky! Definitely recommend and will be the first person I go to.”

“Fahad was awesome once again with my boys! He is very trustable and my dogs are always happy and relaxed when we came back home. Thank you again, Fahad! Highly recommend to anyone else :)”

About: I’m a full-time firefighter and lifelong dog owner who enjoys spending time with animals on my days off. I've always had an interest and love for all animals. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have a 7-year-old Rottweiler who I take on daily walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures. Because of that, I’m very comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including larger breeds that require confident handling. I’m dependable and responsible, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I . I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, or spending time with them while you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m happy to work with energetic dogs that enjoy getting outside as well as older dogs that may just need a calm visit and some attention. I’m also comfortable with larger breeds and dogs that require a bit more confidence and structure. I always send updates and photos during visits so you can check in on how your pet is doing while you’re away. My schedule varies because of my work rotation, but I have many weekdays and weekends available for walks and drop-in visits. On my days off I’m very flexible and able to spend quality time with dogs, whether that’s getting them outside for exercise or stopping by for feeding, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I’m also happy to accommodate early morning, evening, or last-minute visits when my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your dog may have. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels and make sure they are always secure on walks and supervised during visits. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

“Kathryne was so friendly and perfect for watching our cat and dog for the evening. I was happy that she took extra time to make sure our fussy pup actually ate his dinner, and she took him out to the garden to play for a bit which was nice. I would definitely have Kathryne back to look after our pets any time.”

“Destinee does an awesome job dog sitting for us! She is reliable, responsive and you can tell she loves your pet like her own! We always come home to happy pups and we are grateful we have someone we trust to watch them!”

“I hesitate to write this review not because James isn’t the absolute DREAM sitter (spoiler alert, he is) but because I’m worried when I tell you all how fantastic he is, he will be too busy for us to book him again! James has an incredible connection with animals. Our dog is very particular and honestly dislikes most people upon first meeting them but he took to James right away. James spoiled him in the best ways while we were out of town and truly treated him like he was his own. We got the most darling photo and videos updates as well as detailed texts. On top of that, we were so comfortable having him stay at our home. He was respectful and thoughtful and went above and beyond to leave our place somehow even better than we left it. James you are a treasure, Thank you thank you!”

“There’s only about 5 people in this world that I would trust and feel comfortable with to take care of my dogs, and Sarah is now one of them. She is a very kind and authentic person, so I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. She made sure to ask all about our routine, feeding schedules, walks and treats. She was also very respectful and left my house clean and tidy. Thank you so much Sarah, we appreciate the help!”

“Alex has stayed overnight in our home caring for our dog. He follows our instructions re her routine and leaves our home just as we left it. Dog dishes are washed and dried, bed is made. He sends pix and updates. We are thrilled to have found Alex.”

“Angie was amazing with Frankie!! He felt so comfortable with her and she send so many updates, which we love! We will definitely have her back :)”

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Emma!! We usually leave Bennett with family but when we were going on vacation with our whole extended family we were panicked about who we trusted with him. A “stranger” on rover was scary for us but after this trip Emma feels like a close friend! She put our minds at ease within the first hour of leaving for the week. We have a 1.5 year old rescue who can be a bit of a handful and has a ton of energy and she was so great with him! She gave us frequent updates throughout the day with pictures and always got back to us right away. We came home to a very happy healthy pup and clean home! We will absolutely be reaching out to Emma in the future for Bennett and recommending all our friends and family to her!!”
