Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Melrose

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. I love playing with them and making them feel extra loved. I carry excessive amounts of free time during summer and I would love to fill it by taking care of animals. I will be able to work around other peoples schedules with ease. I have a fenced yard with 2 furry friends for them to play with. We can run around and play with balls and toys and I am very generous with the treats so they will feel loads of love. I will take them on walks and any other service asked for.

About: I grew up with a family dog who was a shih tzu and poodle mix. Now, I largely work with dogs who might need a little extra attention, but I’m open to working with other furry friends! 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 will often 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 more than happy to adjust to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!

About: I have been a pet owner and responsible for taking care of different types of dogs since I was 11 years old. This includes animals in my home, family, and friends. One of my childhood dogs had diabetes and would require insulin shots at an exact time twice a day. Therefore, I have experience assisting and caring for medical needs. Additionally, if there are any members in the household who prefer American Sign Language as their primary language, I am fluent and am happy to converse using it. I am currently a special education teacher on summer break, so I will have plenty of time to pop in/look after and walk your furry friend(s). There is a dog park provided within my apartment complex as well as walkable parks and trails less than a mile away from the apartment complex.

“Piper is one of the best in the dog walking business. She took so much time with Buster, even putting his little hoodie on him so he wouldn’t get cold. Highly recommended!!”

“Taylor took great care of my two cats over the Thanksgiving holiday!! She was communicative and left detailed Rover cards with pics of my kitties.”

Courtenay S.

“Olivia is the best. I had to go back to work while my pup was still recovering from getting fixed. Her nursing background made her the perfect choice. She is always on time and is meticulous about following care instructions. Highly recommend!”

Taylor D.

“I’ve booked with a lot of sitters on rover and Robin was the best ever! She was super communicative and went above and beyond in caring for my kitties and keeping them entertained. She took the time to play with them and give them love at every visit— even bringing her own treats and toys from home! I would trust her with my cats again in a heartbeat and she will be my first choice on rover in the future!”

“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.

“Really sweet, my dog isn't really the type to let a stranger take her away from me but she went slow and let mika control his fast things went. I'm in hospital and can't walk and the charge nurse had told me the nurses couldn't feed and water her and I couldn't get out of bed so the fact that she was here to help in like an hour really meant alot For sure book her, especially if the baby has a little attitude when it comes to if she will go off with a stranger lol”

Jerad B.

“Amazing job with our diabetic cat!”

Matthew B.

“Isabel was amazing! She let Remy out twice while we were at work and he loved it—she sent plenty of pics and even worked with us when we had some gate issues! Will be reaching back out to her!!”

Gracen C.

“Niki came to the rescue by helping us last minute on Christmas Eve! Communication was great and she took great care of Fletcher too. We'll definitely be using her again!”

Katelyn W.

“This is my first time using Rover and Sophia is a great caretaker of my fur babies. She is very communicative and responsive and takes great care of my cats. In the pictures she send back to me, I can tell my cats love her as well. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!!❤️”

Ziqi Z.

“Maimee is great, always responsive and self efficient which is very helpful when on work trips when I can’t get to my phone etc.! Our building can be confusing with parking and security but she does great with everything! Pets and all that comes with it! 😄”

Aubrey H.

“Alexandria was great! She took such good care of Luna and was so proactive about making sure her needs were met and she felt loved while I was gone! I would definitely recommend her!! I felt like my cat was in great hands.”

Maya A.

“Erin was a fantastic rover! Before my trip, she was flexible on timing to come over and meet my pet / learn his routine, and was extremely communicative during my time away! I got meaningful updates every visit and felt like my pet was in very capable hands🙂”
