Cat Sitting in Melrose

“We were so thankful to have Samantha check in on our beloved cat when we went out of town for a couple days - it gave us much peace of mind when we were away! She sent very detailed updates and adorable photos! Would highly recommend! 😻”

“Fantastic cat sitter! Our 2 were well taken care of by Emily while we were on vacation. She sent lots of photos from her drop ins and gave them plenty of attention during her visits. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”

Jackie S.

“We were delighted with Madisynn's care of our cat Callie. Her communication was spot on and she didn't hesitate to call (as we had asked her to) if there were any hiccups. Def recommend.”

Louise C.

“Corinne was fantastic! I reached out to her kind of last minute as my cat was sick and needed medicine twice a day right before I was leaving for the weekend. She really helped me out and I felt save knowing she would be able to give Hobbes her medicine while I was gone. Would definitely use her again when I go out of town.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, which gave me a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing pet care, including overnight stays, administering medications, and keeping pets comfortable and happy in their home environment. I always focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s mealtime schedules, daily walks, playtime, or a bit of training and structure. I’m also experienced in caring for senior pets and can support their specific needs with patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can also send you daily updates/photos of your fur babies so you know they are being well taken care of! I have both a dog and cat that I take care of every day. My dog is a one year old energetic lab/springer mix and I have a one year old orange kitty. I love getting outside and having playtime or going on walks with my dog and playing with my cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following any specific instructions you provide—like feeding schedules, medications, or routines. When pets stay with me, my home is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at ease. During drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and make sure to keep everything just as I found it. In all cases, I take the time to build trust and move at each pet’s pace to ensure they feel secure and loved. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.

“Emily is so sweet and very dependable. She took great care of the cats while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures. Even our very shy cat warmed up to her and let her take pictures. Will definitely book again!”

“Prompt, professional and caring.”

“Rachel is absolutely amazing. She was able to medicate my special needs cat with ease and sent pictures every visit. She seems to really know what she’s doing and she really cares! I would definitely go with her again! Thanks Rachel!”

About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house! I enjoy being around them, & giving them back the love & care they so selfishly show to us. I would LOVE to take care of yours while you’re away :) I work a full time job, but I am off most Tuesday afternoons, Fridays, and weekends. M-Th is usually busy for me, but beyond that I am open (with timely notice). I am more than willing to visit your house to take care of your pet and their needs! Whether that means playing with them indoors, or outdoors (no matter the conditions) I would be happy to. I currently do not offer pet sitting overnight in my household / yours, just due to my family’s current schedule.

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

“Thank you so much, Becca! Seeger and Layla absolutely love spending time with you.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since age 10, I’ve slowly learned more about legitimate dog training since having my own dog. I prioritize dogs wellbeing over everything. I work from home on Mondays and most Fridays and usually leave the office around 4pm during the week days and am completely free during the weekends. Chat with me and we can work around your schedule and pup’s needs! I have one pup of my own in a small one bedroom apartment and for that reason do not allow in home boarding but if my pup is welcome in yours I am more than happy to stay in homes!

About: I have had multiple pets throughout my life! I currently have a crazy staffy myself right now!! I have worked at a doggie daycare as well for about 3 years! I currently am working at Mayo Clinic! I always feed and let my pup out in the AM and sometimes on break if I have time I will visit him! After work we go for a walk if the weather is nice! I always let my pup out in the AM and a couples times in the afternoon so your pup would receive the same!! Walks are a must as well!

“Heather is a true cat-sitting superstar! She did an amazing job taking care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was Heather prompt and reliable, but she also made sure my cats were entertained and content during my absence. When I returned home, my kitties were purring with joy, clearly showing they had a blast with Heather. If you're in need of a top-notch cat-sitter, look no further. Heather is the real deal! five stars all the way!”

About: I am an animal lover. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for about 20 years total. My "children" are my 3 cats and German Shepherd. I will treat your animal like my own. I do home visits, home stays, and walks. Don't put off your vacation because you don't want to leave your beloved animals. Let me take care of them! Thank you! - Samantha I am currently a remote freelance graphic designer and this allows me to set my own schedule and have flexibility. My husband and I do not currently have children so that also allows me to have a more open schedule without interruptions. I am not a person who has pets without considering their needs and happiness. I play with them, make sure they get medical care, medication, and make sure they feel safe and loved with cuddle time. I know that having a pet is a responsibility and a privilege.

“Was very appreciative of Makayla and her willingness to work with myself and my very timid doggo. Would work with her again!”

Meghan K.

“We highly recommend Brandon for your dog sitting needs. He was thorough and truly cared about taking great care of our furry babies. We will always keep in in mind for upcoming dog sitting needs.”

Heather P.

“Lauren was very helpful, caring, punctual and was a great communicator for her drop in visits for my cat! She literally went the extra mile and walked up my snowy icy driveway when her car couldn’t make it up! My cat is a bit standoffish with new people, but he warmed up to her after just one visit! I will definitely be requesting Lauren to help out with my cat in the future!”

About: I have worked in a doggy-daycare since I was 16 years old so I have had years of experience with dog-sitting including all kinds of different dogs. I have learned many things and am experienced with dogs and different behaviors as well as working with younger dogs and puppies. I have also worked in dog boarding which included feeding dogs, administering medication and making sure dogs were let outside frequently. Currently, I’m working as a dog groomer at a pet spa so I am with all kinds of dogs daily! In the past, I have dog-sat for many family members and friends and still continue to do so as well. I have owned dogs all my life so I am a huge dog lover! I am available most of the time, besides when I’m grooming dogs at my job so I can be extremely flexible. I am very excited to hopefully get the opportunity to meet you and your dog! :) I’m currently working 3-4 days a week anywhere between the hours of 8am-1pm or 9am-2pm. I am flexible to accommodate around the needs of any requests :) I have a big back yard and friendly dog to keep company with new friends :) My dog has full range to roam in my house all day, and when left alone. I do not own a crate since I don’t use one for my dog. If you crate your dog at home, I would prefer the same to be done during stays with me as well! I give my dog potty breaks every 2-4 hours, but can do more breaks frequently if necessary. Fed 2x daily. Go on many walks and lots of exercise!
