Dog Boarding Melrose

“Lauryn is an amazing host. She is caring and will send you lots of pictures when your dog boards with her. She is also very patient and prioritizes our dog's health. We have had to cancel several bookings with her due to unforeseen circumstances, but she is always kind and willing to work with us. I am going to make another booking after leaving this review.”

“Julie and her family provided an awesome stay for our dog for a week while we were out of town! She was so kind, accommodating, and responsive. Our dog Biggie clearly had a great stay with an entire family showing him love—I would definitely recommend a stay with Julie!”

Jansen P.

“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”

Claudia M.

“She’s super amazing and helpful. My dogs loved her. She sent lots of updates and was very flexible when our flight was cancelled and then delayed. Would highly recommend and would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Our Marlo enjoyed his time with Piper. They had a spacious fence back yard. We received daily photos of his stay. Will be using her services again for our summer vacation.”

JM R.

“Reich and his wife had our Chloe for 3 nights. They were super nice and very communicative. Loved the pictures they sent us while we were away. Will most definitely use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8. I’ve volunteered at the vet clinic my mom worked at I’ve also saved many strays and helped them find loving homes. I’ve trained my dog many things not saying I’m a trainer but do know some tips and tricks. I would love to help you with your babies when you need it and can’t bring your baby with you I’m currently in a welding class at AIDT from 8-12 and currently don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friend(s) I can board at my house on the weekends I do have 3 dogs that live at my house as well so plenty of fun and playmates. All are fixed and up to date on shots. I have a fenced yard and a pond in the back for the babies that can’t resist swimming. I have 3 dogs 1 being mine and the other two being my grandparents. I can crate your baby if needed as I have one that my dog doesn’t stay in unless I’m not home. I have treats galore and plenty of toys.

“Ms. Brenda is so patient and has such a great spirit. She did an awesome job with my puppy Ceazer. It was his first stay with her. She updated us with photos and of his well being. When we picked him up, he was happy and energetic as ever! Thanks again💜”

“Boarding our 7 month old springer spaniel with Kimberly provided such a peace of mind! She was very responsive and easy to work with from the start. She sent regular updates while we were traveling, which we greatly appreciated, too! Georgie seemed to be quite at home and loved having two friends to play with. At the end of our trip we picked up a happy and tired boy from a fun-filled 6 days. Would absolutely recommend and book with Kimberly again!”

Kelly F.

“James, Myrna, (and Maggie!) were caring and communicative and took good care of Spencer. Will definitely use them again. They have a wonderful house with a doggie door to an absolutely huge back yard. Spencer likes to run and I saw many videos of him doing so. Pictures and videos were sent multiple times a day. A+!”

Steven H.

“Atrisha is the absolute best. Lucky always feels like she is at home away from home. She is so excited to see Atrisha and be welcomed into her home.”

WauKeita C.

“Allie was friendly, warm, and responsive. I received pictures and regular updates. Butter looked so calm and happy at her house. I will recommend Allie and will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Paula! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a complete softie for pets, and I do everything in my power to make sure every dog or cat in my care feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. At home, my family includes two American Bullies and one cat, so I’m very comfortable with multi‑pet households and all the energy, personality, and joy that comes with them. I have a special love for bully breeds, but I truly enjoy working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Because my own pets have needed medication in the past, I’m experienced with administering medicine and keeping pets calm and comfortable during the process. Whether it’s daily routines, special instructions, or extra cuddles, I’m attentive and committed to giving each pet the best experience possible. My home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from Medal of Honor Park—perfect for walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor time. I’m also only about 15 minutes from Hophounds, the dog park/bar, which gives me even more options for fun outings when appropriate. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely loves what they do, I’d be honored to care for your furry loved ones. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my everyday life. With two American Bullies and a cat at home, my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m used to managing different personalities and schedules, so adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. Throughout the week, I make time for morning and evening walks, enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping up with any medications or special instructions. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, it never feels like an extra task—it’s just part of how my days flow. Whether it’s daily check‑ins or longer stays, I’m already in the rhythm of providing consistent, loving care. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet‑friendly environment. I have two American Bullies and a cat, so I’m already used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to—regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and plenty of affection. My home is in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from Medal of Honor Park, which makes daily walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel secure while their family is away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and litter care to walks, medication, and any special needs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means slow introductions, extra playtime, or simply offering calm companionship. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just like I do with my own animals

“Ms. Ann is AMAZING!! My first time using Rover and I was a little skeptical because my fur baby is my everything.. but Ms. Ann knows exactly what she’s doing. Please book her for your dog sitting needs!”

Natasha H.

“I received great updates with Birdie. I felt very comfortable and that’s so important and a relief when leaving a little piece of your heart. Thank you!”

“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”

Tanya D.

“Truly trusted sitter! My dog had a great time and warmed up very easily with Victoria. Everyone wants their dog or cat taken care of and Victoria does just that. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates whenever possible and I just knew she was loving him like her own. She will be my go-to whenever I’m in the area and I’m glad to have booked with her.”

Austin H.

“Lauri kept our senior dog for a weekend and I had no doubts leaving him in her care! Our dog has only stayed with family members and this was his first time staying with someone else and he had a blast!! We can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our old man!!”

Sydney C.

“We had a great experience with Monica's family watching our little guy for the weekend. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up and willing to work with what he needed. He is still a puppy at 6mo old, so there were some potty issues and anxiety being in a new place but everyone handled it well.”

Kaitlyn B.

“Very helpful with a big house. Allowed River to relax on couch which she loved.”
