Dog Walking Melrose

About: If we’ve crossed paths before, 9/10 I probably came up and asked to pet your dog/cat! I’m a proactive & vigilant person with so much love for animals and I am not shy about it! I have two cats so I would say that i’m 100% more knowledgeable with them! I’ve also been blessed to bring a 4 month puppy into the family! I may be newer to the dog world but i’m willing to learn while also having a good pet care foundation cause i do a ton of research! :) On top of all of this, I believe my best qualities are that I am extremely open minded and patient. Your dog takes a little too long on their walks? Perfectly fine! Your dog likes to jump a lot? I love their way of expressing excitement! Your cat doesn’t like people/is good at hiding but you would like a photo of them to make sure they’re okay while you’re away? I will do everything I can while also respecting their boundaries!! I treat pets with so much love and respect, I hope you’d consider me! I recently accepted a part time job so flexibility is super appreciated and important for both of us to work something out for your pet! I will say that I’d prefer to spend time with your fur babies in the morning/afternoon rather than in the night time! You can trust me by getting to know how much I care about my pets! I would do anything to improve their lives. - I provide many, many toys. I even find ways to DIY them! - I will scoop litter everyday because they deserve a clean area to do their business! - I always give them treats because I know how happy it makes them - I give them love whenever they want or ask for it - I have two cat trees (used to be 3, if i had space for more i’d totally have more!!) - I quite literally drop everything (of course not in emergencies) and give them love and attention whenever they ask - I take the time to read the ingredients on their food to make sure even they aren’t consuming processed ingredients because i care about their health and coat. - I have a water fountain because I prioritize hydration and know that it helps them see the water better & I make sure it is always pretty full so they never run out of water :) - I have two window hammocks! - I also have two dog beds! - Any decision I make, I always consider my babies :)

“Jaquelin has just started walking my dog and she’s been incredibly gentle and patient with my girl Maya. Her communication and updates have made it easy to trust her. She’ll be continuing the weekly walks with Maya.”

“I am so thankful to have found Serge on Rover. My regular dog walker had to move away with little notice, and I needed a walker ASAP. Based on the reviews, I took a chance on Serge and knew I had made the right choice from the first time we interacted. He is so communicative, and I can tell he loves dogs. This is definietey the guy you want walking your dog.”

“Nathan is a great walker. Since the meet and greet, Phoebe(my dog) and him got along together very well. Nathan was very understanding of phoebe being scared of the city noises during her walks and he even helped taking her out the building which we appreciate very much. He communicates very well, follows instructions to the dot and is very playfull with phoebe. If I didn’t have a permanent walker, I would’ve totally kept him. I recommend Nathan 💯”

“Katelyn has been so great with my senior dog. She is very communicative and I appreciate that she has experience with her own senior dog. ♥️”

“Drew was an awesome dog walker and I can’t say enough amazing things about him! He came out to meet Bro before the walk to make sure everything went well. He also had patience when I forgot to give the lockbox code. Very grateful to Drew! Book him!”

Marie E.

“Alex was our walker for 13 weeks! Multiple multiple times a week, she responded sooo quickly, soo professional and accommodating! Seriously my dog loved her and PJ and he walked so amazing!! She was able to somehow get him to pee in all weather! So glad to have found her thank you so much Alex!!”

Tatiana S.

“I’ve used Carmen few times, she was able to walk my dog Jasper in a short notice. Also one time she wasn’t able to make it, she was able to offer a refund, which I appreciate. I would use her again as she is communicative and easy to work with. Thank you!”

Phoenix L.

“My dog loves Salma! Salma has made my life easier. It’s so nice to not have to worry about my dog while I am at work.”

Victoria H.

“This was my first time using Rover and Victor made a great first impression! He was able to get my shy pup to open up and by the end of the booking, they were besties! He was very great with communication and always made sure to let me know how my dog was doing. Would recommend Victor to a friend!”

Annie M.

“Luis is amazing and even though it was a last minute booking he was promptly booked. I recommend Luis 100% he is patience and know how to manage very well my baby Blanco”

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.

“Liam (Lauren) is nothing short of FANTASTIC!!! Very attentive to all instructions, highly skilled with a range of temperaments - even my highly reactive dog, and is very punctual. I love how detailed relays info about walks - pictures, etc. Will definitely book again and highly recommended!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, small mammals, and turtles for 7 years and I love being around them I always treat them with respect and handle them properly. It fits into my daily routine very perfectly I feel like I will be committed and do my best to help pet owners and their pets with their needs. I handle them with love and passion because I love animals and anything that has to do with them. I feed them, give them baths, play with them, cuddle with them and pet them and show them lots of affection

About: I love animals; I've always had a strong connection with them, and I give them a lot of love and respect. I feed them, bathe them, and let them take their naps. I also take them for walks and play with them. I'm not currently working; I'll be dedicating my time to taking care of puppies since I really enjoy being at home and I love dogs. I have a fenced-in yard and I can also keep them in a room I have available for this purpose. The puppy will be very comfortable.

About: Hi! I'm Alexandrea, a lifelong animal lover, theatre professional, and devoted pet parent serving the Bronx and Queens. I've spent my entire life around dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup is happiest exploring the neighborhood, taking a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, or getting some extra exercise, I tailor my care to their individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. Communication, reliability, and safety are incredibly important to me, and I'll always treat your dog like one of my own. You'll receive updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend is getting plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or help while you're away, I'd love to meet you and your pup! I enjoy walking around this city with my four-legged friends or even sometimes going for a run! I'm committed to making sure your dog is living its best, active lifestyle. I am very open to all owners requests and needs, and I want to do everything in my power to make sure your dog is safe, and well taken care of when you are not around. Your family member is like a family member to me.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of animals since I was young, and I’ve always had a strong passion for their well-being. I love seeing animals happy, healthy, and thriving, and I take pride in making sure they are properly cared for. In my family, we have had over six animals, including a bearded dragon, two hamsters, fish, two dogs, one cat, and one snake. I was the main person responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, cleaning, walking, and making sure they were safe and comfortable. Currently, we have a 6-year-old chihuahua, and I take care of him daily by feeding him, walking him, and making sure he is doing well. I’m very attentive, patient, and responsible when it comes to animals of all types and personalities. My experience has taught me how to understand different animal behaviors and adjust to their needs, whether they are energetic, shy, or senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and always make their safety and comfort my priority. (I currently take bookings in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. ) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already take care of my own dog every day, including feeding, walking, and making sure he is healthy and comfortable. This keeps me consistent and responsible with animal care. I have a flexible schedule during the week, which allows me to take on walks and visits in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m able to adjust my time based on each booking so every pet gets proper attention, care, and exercise without feeling rushed. I care for pets by focusing on safety, routine, and making sure they feel comfortable in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific rules the owner provides. I make sure doors are secure, pets are always supervised, and I pay attention to their behavior so they stay safe and relaxed. When walking dogs, I keep them on a leash at all times and stay alert to surroundings, other animals, and distractions. I take my time to make sure each walk is calm and controlled. Overall, I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a calm, trusting environment where they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.

I am home everyday 24/7 so your fur baby will always be by my side! I have two very friendly dogs who can keep your pup entertained as well as i.
