Dog Walking Melrose

“Laura has helped us care for our senior dog in the most loving way! She provided daily walks for Delilah, she was always prompt, had great communication, and put my mind at ease.”

About: I am very good at training puppies. And have grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life, from dogs to horses to turtles to chicken and pigs. I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.

About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.

About: I believe that dogs should be allowed to be dogs and walks should go at their pace, with plenty of time to sniff, since that’s how dogs explore and burn off mental energy. I have fostered over a dozen young puppies from the Oakland Animal Shelter, which has thought me how to read dog's body language: if your dog is nervous, overexcited, or ready for a break, I’ll pick up on the small signs and adjust before it becomes a problem. My schedule is flexible right now, so I can plan around your dog’s routine instead of fitting them into mine. Pet care is already a big part of my day with my own dog, so walks, feeding, and playtime are just how our household runs. Your dog’s routine is my starting point, so please share as much detail as you like: meal times and amounts, favorite walk routes, how they settle in at night, and the little quirks only you know about. I’m very detail-oriented and I thrive on routines, so I’ll follow theirs as closely as I can and hold myself to the same standard I do with my own dog. On drop-ins at your home, I’ll take care of food, water, potty breaks, and any meds, leave time for some attention, and send you photos. Dogs who stay with me get supervised time in the fenced backyard and a quiet room of their own to sleep in.

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and for the past 3+ years I've been pet sitting on and off with my mom. I currently have a 6-year-old husky and two tuxedo cats of my own, so I understand both high-energy dogs and independent cats — and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur babies. I treat every pet like they're my own — with patience, attention, and a whole lot of care. I'd be honored to be someone you and your pet can count on. What sets me apart: - Husky experience — I know high-energy, strong-willed breeds need real exercise, patience, and structure. I'm comfortable with big dogs, pullers, and pups who need a little extra understanding. - Cat-savvy — With two tuxedo cats at home, I get that cats have their own rules. I'm patient, gentle, and respectful of their space and quirks. - Calm and dependable — I'm the kind of sitter who shows up on time, follows your routine exactly, and keeps you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. - Patient with all personalities — Whether your pet is shy, anxious, playful, or a little stubborn, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe. - Genuine love for animals — This isn't just a job for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, learning their personalities, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm available for boarding and sitting on weekends, and on weekdays after 2pm. My routine is flexible, so I can usually accommodate drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays with a little notice. Whether your pup needs a mid-day walk or a cozy weekend sleepover, I'll make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and love while you're away! In my home: Your pet will be treated like family. I have a 6-year-old husky and two tuxedo cats of my own, so I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs and independent cats. My home has a safe, pet-friendly setup with plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. I keep a close eye on everyone during introductions and always supervise interactions between pets. Your pup will get regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention — plus all the cuddles they want. In your home: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any special instructions you leave. I'm respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're gone. I'll send you photos and updates, so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.

I pay attention to each pet's behavior and comfort level, whether they enjoy active playtime or prefer a calmer approach. I also respect your home and belongings and provide photo updates after visits so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their animals — long before I made it a profession.

“Jack is great! So kind and considerate. He helped us out in a bind and will continue to have him walk and watch our pup in the future!!”

“Lynn was so great with our little pup. He gets anxious with other dogs, bikers, squirrels, etc and she managed him great! He came back happy and tired. Highly recommend!”

Niraj S.

About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.

“Sara was amazing with Tripp. She gave him all of her time and attention on their walk and made sure to keep us posted throughout. Will definitely use her again!”

In my home there are no open doors and I can make sure to keep doors closed in clients home when needed

“Michelle and Mandar offered to meet my dog before his first walk and get him comfortable. He warmed up quickly and had some great walks! I got some super cute photos of him from the walks as well which made being away easier!”

“Adriana has been a total life saver with a couple last minute bookings that suddenly came up. Our timid little Roxie went to her without hesitation”

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.
