Pet Sitting Melrose

About: I have a few years experience of taking care of animals, alongside living my entire life with two dogs. I have experience with all ranges of pet sizes. I am comfortable with senior care, medication administration, but am more than happy to do anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of! I’m currently a college student, so I am free mostly on the weekends. I do accept weekday requests, just be aware that I have classes during these days. on summer vacation, so I am free most of the day! I love taking walks and being active, and love to spend time playing with my own dogs! I have classes from 11am - 3:30pm with evening classes on Monday and Wednesday. When sitting, my focus is on the pet and treating them as if they were my own. I want both me, your pet, and you to have fun and know everything is in good hands. My goal is to provide pets with exercise, enjoyment, and attention at all times. When I’m with my own pets, I give them lots of pets, belly rubs, and playing with toys. I bring this level of love and care to clients animals anytime I can.

“Sarah was super thorough and kind to us and our puppy. She called ahead to make sure she knew how to best care for our dog and was flexible to small schedule changes/extra instructions. She even took super cute pics and kept us updated about what she did/how it went. You should feel comfortable with you dog in her hands. Thanks again, Sarah!”

“Excellent service! I was nervous to leave my 14yr old dog, Belle, alone for a week because she never had a sitter outside of family members, but she loved Isabel and Isabel was great with her! I couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provided to Belle. I highly recommend her and hope to have her watch Belle again in the future!”

About: I grew up with a family dog who was a shih tzu and poodle mix. Now, I work with furry friends of all types: from those who need a little extra attention to the most easygoing pets! Does your pet need medicine 3 times a day? I do that. Does your dog have leash aggression or very specific likes and dislikes? I've dealt with that too. Separation anxiety? Check! Senior dogs struggling with incontinence? I'm here to help. Currently, I offer house sitting (taking out trash, plant care, etc), drop ins, pet sitting (2-3 walks, medicine if applicable, feeding, play time), pet walks, and feeding. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings and am available most holidays and weekends. I offer pet sitting in my client's home to keep pets in the environment where they feel safest. I will collaborate with you to see what works best for your pet and their home. I love pets and can spend a little extra time with them if you're worried about them being left alone. I know each dog and cat is different, so I'm happy to adjust to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!

“Always feels so good to know Sophia is looking after our pets when we’re out of town! We’ve used her for a couple trips and it’s life changing knowing you have someone you can rely on when you’re not home!”

“Leanne is fantastic! Super consistent, reliable and kind. She also kept her eating area and litter area spotless. I would absolutely have her take care of my little girl again, and I highly recommend!”

About: Grew up with dogs my entire life, once I got a little older I used to watch my family friends animals all the time! Now in Nashville I help volunteer at wags and walks but I want to do more! I work remote for work so I have a flexible schedule that can adjust as needed. Im happy to snuggle with your animals or run around and play! I work remote so I am easily able to play with your animals or let them out and enjoy the fresh air for a little bit! I will follow any rules you may have for your animal. Im comfortable handling some bigger dogs on a leash or running around with them in your backyard. I've been around animals a lot so I know to pick up on if something may be wrong and will let you know right away!

“Ally was phenomenal! Excellent and professional communication with me, and above and beyond cat care! My kitty cat was very calm and happy when I returned from my travels. Thanks so much!”

Elliott L.

“Kate was easy to communicate with and followed my directions. She even did a meet and greet to make sure my pup and I were a good fit. I would recommend her!”

Sarah G.

“Chloe was great with my pups. She was very responsive and gave plenty updates while I was out of town. Will def. request her again in the future.”

About: Though this isn’t recommended, I bottle-fed my past fur baby to health because she was taken from her mom too soon. I was young, and my family didn’t know any better, but that dedication I had at the time to loving and caring for my dog translates to my love and care Iplan to have with yours. I love animals and deeply value their innocence, so you never have to be concerned about their care with me! I am currently a graduate student at vanderbilt, so my daily schedule varies, but most of my availability falls in the middle of the day and weekends. It depends on the day, but I will do my best to accommodate. I take care of a client’s home how I take care of mine (which I understand is not extremely helpful considering you don’t know my living situation, but I value a clean and well-taken care of space). As long as I am in someone else’s space, I am respectful, clean, and make sure I leave it the same or better than when I arrived.

About: I’ve cared for dogs on my own and for friends and family 🐶 I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they’re well taken care of 🦴🐾 I love dogs and genuinely enjoy having them around and spending time with them ❤️ I am a breakfast server and work mornings 3-5 days a week and am home around lunch on those days. I then use the rest of the day to spend time with the dogs, take them to the park, and spend quality time together at the house :) I care for your dog like they’re my own 🐶 I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave, make sure they’re fed, get outside, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.

“Julia did such an amazing job with my two cats! I loved reading the messages she left after each visit. She was also very accommodating when there was a sudden change to my schedule. I would highly recommend Julia!”

Alex C.

“Amazing job with our diabetic cat!”

“Jessica cares about your animal as if they were her own. She leaves thoughtful comments about her visits and plenty of photos. I trust her and recommend her.”

Katherine K.

“She did a great job with my cat, who had just come out of surgery a few days before, being able to get her her medication and adequately take care of her wound, as well as dealing with a cat who may not have been very happy on occasion. She's fantastic.”

“Christina is now a member of our happy family. She is simply phenomenal. There simply no other way to explain how extraordinary she is at what she does. Thank you Christina. My boys look forward to the next time!”

About: I am a dog lover hoping to know and love as many dogs as I can! I have spent over 8 years volunteering at various dog shelters and have learned how to handle and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have also fostered for a few years and ended up rescuing my own dog, Daisy, last year. I have learned many skills including leash handling, reading cues from dogs, handling stressful situations, raising a puppy, and understanding what a dog needs to be fulfilled (whether low energy, high energy, or in between). A dog’s comfort is always my priority and I love getting to know each dog's personality so that I can give them the love they need! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available on weekends. Since I have my own dog, I have a complete routine for pet care. I have a friendly dog named Daisy and plenty of toys, leashes, and treats. We also have a dog park in our apartment complex and plenty of space to roam around and explore. I prioritize Daisy and will do the same for your dog!

About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life. From chihuahuas, to golden retrievers, to rescues I have had experience with a myriad of different dog breeds and personalities! On top of caring for, walking, and playing with the dogs my family owned, one of my earliest jobs was dog-sitting neighborhood dogs when their families were out of town. You can count on me to provide the same high quality care to your dogs that I would provide to my own. I am a current medical student in Nashville. As a result, most of my availability will fall on the weekends! My availability on Fridays would start around 6:30 pm and I can go to any time on Sunday. I will always respect your house rules and items when caring for your pets at your home. I will also respect and reinforce the way in which you have trained your pets (crate training, meal times, etc). I will always care for your pet to a high level of detail, making sure they have sufficient walks, making sure to clean up any mess they make, and making sure all of their needs are met!
