Pet Sitting in Melrose

“Samantha took wonderful care of my pets while I was out of town. She even corralled all my chickens and ducks into my coop. I will definitely be using her the next time I leave. Thank you!!!”

“We had to leave town unexpectedly and needed someone to care for our cat, Tasha. Madisynn was a lifesaver! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The communication with Madisynn was always prompt and we never felt out of the loop. She is warm, professional, and one can tell that she truly cares for the animals she watches. We will definitely go with Madisynn again in the future!”

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 three 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.

“Linsie was AMAZING with our dog, Ellie. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times meeting new people, but Linsie was so calm and kind with her! We even asked short notice and she was able to come through and help us! Thanks again, Linsie!”

“My dog absolutely loves Emily! She is great with pets and send pictures of them to you. Plus she is very great at communicating with you if you have any questions”

“Just what I needed. Corinne was able to drop in to let Chloe out and play for a few minutes. I was gone for the day and knew it would just be to long for Chloe. Corinne was close and understood my dog's shy/skittish behavior. Yay Rover!”

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!

“Rachel was awesome. She saved me in a last minute needed care. She was able to check on the dogs and clearly gave them lots of love. First time using Rover and I’m really impressed with Rachel!”

“Bella was so wonderful! She came and kept Boone company while we were at a wedding in town. We felt safe and comfortable with our dog in her care. It was nice that she sent pictures and updates too! Thank you again Bella!”

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: Every since I was young I would walk dogs for friends and family. Once I finally turned 18 I was able to work for a doggie daycare! Talk about dream come true! Hey pet parents! I’m currently on a pretty laid back schedule! I understand how important their needs are! I promise to always do my best when having your fur child/children under my care ❤️ (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay) I don’t mind long walks, and trips to the park! Snuggles and movies work too 🩵 I can provide any needed service for your fur baby/ babies! (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay)

“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.

“Lindsay was beyond amazing, I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! She was very patient with my dog the first time she met her, and now they are the best of friends! She sent SO many adorable update photos and left sweet notes which made me feel reassured. This was my first time using a Rover sitter, and I plan on sticking with Lindsay for a long time to come!”

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.

“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 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!

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

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.

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!
