Pet Sitting Melrose

“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”

“Intuitive, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

“Cathy did a terrific job of taking care of all our cats while we were away. She was very attentive and made sure to send photos of them every day. We would most definitely use her again. Thanks much!”

“Laura is a lifesaver. She got along with our dog quickly (not easy!) and took care of all his needs on ournin-office days. Would highly recommend!”

Andrew C.

“Rachel was great with our two cats. She followed all instructions perfectly. We loved getting our pet pics! Would absolutely recommend and rehire her in the future.”

“Dane did a great job watching my kitties while I was away. He communicated clearly, asked all the right questions, and took some stunning photos of my cats to keep my mind at ease (seriously he should be an animal photographer). Highly recommend!”

“It was so lovely to have Haylee take care of my precious cat. She did a superb job, sent me the cutest updates, and even brought my packages inside. Would not hesitate to book again!”

“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”

Sarah L.

“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”

Jeanette G.

“Maricruz kindly stepped in to cover a day caring for our cats while we were gone! She communicated openly, was careful to follow what I’d asked, and she got one of our shy cats to come out and say hi 🙂 Thank you Maricruz!”

About: Hi, I’m Lynn! 👋 Nice to meet you :) __________________________________ If your dog loves fresh air, exploring new paths, and coming home completely tuckered out, they’re going to love hanging out with me. Or we can just take a stroll around the neighborhood, play with lots of toys, and snuggle up on the couch!☀️ __________________________________ I'm a passionate, patient, and friendly dog lover who believes every pup deserves a fun-filled day! I love meeting new furry friends and I am experienced with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Being a dog mom myself, I treat every pup like absolute royalty - gentle pets, belly rubs, lots of happy praise + treats, and maybe a little photoshoot if we have the time!🌸🌺✨ __________________________________ Safety is ALWAYS my top priority. I’m incredibly mindful of terrain, weather, and hydration, ensuring a tiny Chihuahua gets the same careful attention and safe handling as an enthusiastic German Shepherd. From dealing with the zoomies to offering patient guidance, I treat every dog like family!! :) __________________________________ When your pup is with me, you can expect a reliable schedule, plenty of updates, and a very happy, sleepy dog returned to your doorstep. 🧡🧡💚💚 ___________________ Let’s get your best friend out on their next great adventure! 🐾 🌳 🌲 🥾 🐕 • Monday through Friday: I am available & flexible morning, afternoon, or evening. This is the perfect time for an energetic mid-day break, a long late-afternoon trail walk, or late-day doggy daycare while you finish up your workday. __________________ • Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): I have open availability (unless stated otherwise)! My weekends are wide open for extended adventures, daycare, or flexible walking schedules. 🐾 How I Care for Your Dog I provide safe, reliable, and loving care tailored to your dog’s needs.

You’ll always receive updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved animals since childhood and have over 10 years of experience in pet care. I approach pets with both confidence and affection. I enjoy getting to know the unique personalities and helping them feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for other people’s pets I’ve had many of my own Including three cats and seven dogs ranging in age from six weeks to 14 years old. I’ve trained and walked dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to bull breeds in the neighborhoods and along nature trails. I’ve also taken dog training classes and have volunteered at the Oakland SPCA. I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve cared for older pets. I’m here to meet your pet’s care needs with compassion, reliability, and the experience they deserve. I’m looking for work. I can do in the afternoon and or evenings Monday through Friday and occasionally weekends. I am also available for late night check-in if you need it. I offer dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I will closely follow the routines and instructions shared to ensure your pets care is up to you and your pets standards

“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”

About: i’ve been a dog mom for 20+ years and have basically had dogs my whole life. i trained my own dog from puppyhood and i’ve helped friends (and other pet parents) with basic training and routine stuff too. i’ve taken multiple training classes, so i’m comfortable with things like leash manners, boundaries, and reinforcing good behavior in a calm, consistent way. i’m naturally really good with dogs and i’m great at reading their body language, even the ones that are anxious, reactive, or “don’t usually like people.” i’m patient, confident, and i keep things low-stress so pups feel safe and listened to. i work from home, so i’ve got plenty of time to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just quick check-ins). i’m happy to do multiple walks a day, and since i’m near downtown oakland, we’ve got plenty of great walk routes, lake merritt, nearby parks, and lots of good “sniffari” streets. in my home, your pup gets a safe, relaxed setup with lots of attention. i have a fenced patio so they can hang in the sun and get fresh air, and inside they’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, lounge, and roam comfortably. we’ve also got nearby open spaces, fields, and trails for walks and play. depending on your dog and what you’re comfortable with, i can do off-leash play (only where it’s safe/appropriate) or keep everything leashed, solo adventures or playtime with my dogs if your pup enjoys company. i’m big on following your routine and keeping things consistent: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, training cues, slow introductions, whatever your dog needs. i’m totally comfortable with seniors, shy/anxious pups, and dogs with special instructions. and if your dog would do best with more backyard time, i can also utilize my girlfriend’s place nearby with a fully fenced backyard for extra outdoor play/sniff time (with your permission).

“Love having Sage come over to watch our cat Bonnie. Always provides great updates and I can tell the cat is super happy whenever they're checking up on her!”

“Emily was fantastic and took great care of our crew of cats! She’s super responsive and great at communicating. It was a relief to know they were in good hands when we couldn’t be home with them.”

Mary Ann L.

“Pat watched our cat twice and during our first meet & greet we could tell he would be thoughtful when watching a pet. He spent plenty of time with our cat making sure he had a companion while we were away. He also made a great artistic sketch of him too!”

Douglas B.

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”
