House Sitting Melrose

“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”

“Very responsive and reliable.”

“Anais went above and beyond to provide loving care to our dogs - who can take a while to warm to new people. Anais was so patient and diligent with them - and communicative with us - we knew our pups were in the most capable and caring hands. We are so grateful. 🙏🏼”

“A HUGE Thank You to Eleanna! She was incredibly flexible with our schedules, took great care with our Xiao Xiao, very communicative and just an overall sweetheart which made our time even better. We felt at ease and that’s so important. Absolutely booking her again!”

“Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.”

“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”

“Cara recently took care of Ralphie when I had an unexpected dogsitter cancellation. It was awesome that she was able to come by for a last minute meet-and-greet - Ralphie really loved her and I liked that she is punctual, accommodating, and gave regular updates. I came home to a happy dog and a clean place!”

“Dane took amazing care of our little Peanut and our house! He went above and beyond taking many pictures and giving us updates. He took Peanut on long walks and did training sessions with her — it was very clear she was having a blast. Dane also generously watered our plants and left our house cleaner than he found it! Would highly recommend Dane to anyone looking for a sitter and we look forward to booking with him again :)”

“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for 4+ years. I have experience fostering kittens, puppies, and senior cats and dogs. I am a pre-veterinary student and love working and playing with animals. I am currently on summer break so I will have plenty of time to look after your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who usually likes dogs. I can easily put him in my room if I need to.

“Laura was awesome with our pup Charlie! Sent us lots of pictures and updates and communication was a breeze. Will definitely book with her again!”

Jessica W.

“In my first meeting with Ashley, she showed she was very focused on the details of my pup's care. While I was away, she was texting me questions and photos, assuring me that my pup was being well cared for. I felt very seen and heard. And when I got home, there was a sweet card from her saying she felt she bonded with LottieDa. That was above expectations, and it really showed her dedication. Yes, I would hire Ashley again.”

Deborah D.

“Tina helped us out with our two dogs for a second time, this time pet sitting in our home. Tina was great, sent us updates, and was generally easy to work with. Would definitely hire Tina again. Thank you Tina!”

Brandon C.

“Shivani was a dream sitter. Sweet and communicative and loving to Ruby and super capable. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Ruby was so content”

Ivan Z.

“Michelle was absolutely fabulous! She was able to watch my two dogs on very short notice while I was in Oakland to visit family. My dogs loved her! She took great care of them, taking them on multiple walks throughout the day and providing attention when needed. She we be the first person I reach out to when I am in the Oakland area again. Thank you Michelle!”

About: I had a dog for 15 years and a cat for 2 years, giving me experience with pets at all stages of life. They are very special and I have a deep passion for caretaking, one that extends to your pets! I can also administer medications if needed. I am a student at UCSF on summer break. I have availability most days—weekdays and weekends, just need a few days notice! I am also a night owl so I can watch your pets well into the evenings! I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. I love going on long walks around here solo, and a pet companion would make that even better! For cats, I can also take them on walks (if they’re those types of cats haha) or can just stay inside and play with toys.

“Melina was wonderful taking care of my special needs chihuahua. She sent me video and picture updates every day, several times a day (which I so appreciated). She made sure my dog took her medications on time and was thoughtful about all of her needs. She was responsive and so easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be utilizing Melina’s services again.”

“Rachel did a wonderful job watching my 7 year old dog Scooter and taking care of my home. She followed my instructions perfectly; developed a warm relationship with my dog Scooter; kept me updated with photos and reports; and even left me with an oil pastel sketch that captured his sweet spirit perfectly. I returned home to a clean and tidy home and a happy pup. I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter in your home.”

“Paola was great with little Beau 🐶 he loves her already! She had to be at our house crazy early in the morning, she got here a few minutes early & was wide awake and joyful…. Beau & I will invite Paola back whenever possible!!! 🐶💕”

“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”
