About: I have had my own sweet pup for over 14 years. Assisted heavily during some of the major fires in northern California over the years, working with several professional animal rescue teams. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes just out here hoping to help as many pups as possible. Recently relocated to the Bay Area & while looking for my next full time opportunity decided to lean into some of my passions. Dogs being #1! If I can do that through this app while bringing in a little cash on the side, what could be better? Currently available full time. I’m very active so love taking walks. (My senior dog has slowed down so I’m missing a walking buddy.) I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.

About: Hi there! I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a very eager and fun animal professional who enjoys spending time with cats and dogs in both my work and personal life. I graduated with my BS in animal science and now work from home full time. I have owned pets my entire life and seen many of my pets from birth through their life cycle. I love interacting with pets of all sizes, and ages! I am extremely patient and do not at all mind the demanding nature of younger puppies. Additionally, I love being outdoors and there’s no better way to enjoy the day than with a furry friend. Never fret cat parents- there’s no discrimination here! I love cats equally as much! Cats and kittens alike offer so much in the way of affection and companionship. Feline playtime is essential and I am more than capable of keeping all of your kitties happy and entertained! Unfortunately my pups aren’t so fond so I’m limited to drop ins. My current schedule allows me to be available full time to schedule visits and walks. I have a lot of free time and would love to fill it with pet love! I love to play with pets in their preferred style! Getting down with some toys and treats is always on the agenda. Walks, jogs and good snuggles are never denied!

Korin is great! She took great care of Snow on relatively short notice, which I really appreciated. She’s a great communicator, attentive to detail and has an easy going attitude which makes planning a breeze. She kept me posted and provided details of their walks. I’ll definitely be reaching out whenever we need her pet sitting services in the future.

About: Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. f you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.

Eleanna is a fantastic Pet Care provider. She understands animals. I trusted her inherently the first time I met her. She has been caring for my animals while I’ve been away and I feel completely confident and safe with them in her care. My dog is learning from a recent training on leash reactivity and she worked well with Java in my absence. Java dog made progress! Thank you Eleanna

Absolutely amazing and highly recommend! She was so great with my 70lb anxious husky and very accommodating with both meeting me at my work office and taking time to calm him down before going on a long walk. I am always hesitant leaving my large separation-anxiety dog with new people, but Alexis made the process very easy and he had a great time. Will definitely book again!

My dog looooooved her walk with Sydney! The pictures and videos Sydney sent us were so sweet and our dog looked so happy. Sydney was super communicative and let us know when she had mila, how they were doing on their walk, and when mila was back home. It was also a really hot day and Sydney was very patient and accommodating for our senior tripod! Can’t wait to continue with Sydney :)

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Melrose.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
