House Sitting in Melvin Village

About: I have taken care of family dogs for many years and have just added new clients over the last 2 years. I have worked at college for pets. As a lot of my clients would say I have an away with the animals and have had many different animals that don’t do well with new people instantly bond and be comfortable around me. I am currently working part time at dunks with that being said I do create a very flexible schedule to include the time and care your pet will need. It was my grandfather Sid Lovett that inspired me to make a career out of watching animals. Right now I only offer to stay in the pet owner house as I believe it helps ease the stress of the animal being in a familiar environment.

“To leave our 13-year-old dog home for 3 weeks was a huge decision we wrestled with for months. Finding a dog/house sitter on Rover made this daunting prospect easier. Our choice, Selyn, strongly answered our questions, having the qualities you need when undertaking both a dog and a house sitting position: honesty, reliability, dependability, conscientiousness, and a full commitment to our peace of mind. She communicated openly with daily updates and photos. She administered meds and picked up scripts. She soothed our highly anxious dog with an earnest and true-hearted approach, ultimately winning our dog’s heart. Selyn takes her job seriously, and a huge plus, she radiates a sincere cheerfulness in her devotion to duty. P.S. Upon return, our house was immaculate.”

“Peter watched my dog for 4 days and my dog is older and had some issues due to a broken tooth right now and some anxiety. He was very commutative with me and kept me informed of anything that he believed I should know. He sent pictures and videos. I highly recommend Peter. House was also clean upon my return. (Sarah was out of town so wasn’t able to come but I met her at a meet and greet with my dog and she was very friendly. )”

“Sue was a great dogsitter! She took our dog on car rides (which she loves!) and sent an update and picture every day. We would absolutely recommend booking with her!”

About: With 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, I provide a warm and loving environment right from my home. I can expertly administer any needed medication, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. Let’s keep your pup, no matter their age, happy and healthy together! I live on 5 acres of land, and pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I start each day by feeding and walking my pets, allowing them space to explore. Since I work from home, I can spend quality time with them, playing and training throughout the day. I check on their health regularly, which includes grooming and giving any needed medication. On weekends, I take them on adventures around our land. Pet care brings joy and structure to my life! I care for pets in both my home and my clients' homes by providing a safe and loving environment. In my home, I have a friendly 18-year-old Australian Shepherd who helps create a welcoming atmosphere for other pets. I ensure they have plenty of space to play and explore, while also maintaining a clean and comfortable area for resting. I follow their routines closely, including feeding times, walks, and play sessions. At a client's home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions or routines the pet is used to. I make sure the environment is safe by removing any hazards. I also give them regular check-ins to ensure they are happy and healthy, and I am always available for cuddles and attention!

About: I’ve walked dogs for neighbors and friends for several years and have always loved it. I get along well with all animals, even ones with anxiety or separation issues. I am patient and attentive to their needs, and am happy to give them all the attention they want. I’m currently working part time from 9-2:30ish on weekdays, so I have plenty of availability before and after my hours on weekdays ,and am completely available on weekends! You can put your trust in me to keep your fur babies happy and healthy. I am aware that leaving them alone can be hard, and I want to make them as comfortable as possible.

“Christina did a fantastic job with my two rambunctious dogs! They loved her and she kept me up to date with pictures and regular messages. Will definitely book her again and highly recommend!”

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.

About: I’ve cared for my dog & watched my friends dogs for over four years. Additionally I have experience with cats as I frequently watch my mothers two cats. I am available to watch dogs & cats in the Greater Burlington area on Friday nights, during the weekend, & Monday mornings occasionally if/when needed. I provide a safe, loving, and playful environment tailored to your pet’s needs when pet sitting. In your home, I follow your routines to keep them comfortable, happy, & stress free. My goal is to treat them like family every step of the way.

“Ashley was lovely and arrived on time. It was our first, but won't be our last. Her personality is very chill, which is a perfect compliment to looking after Whippets. So happy to have someone we can call now.”

“Teri took wonderful care of Sidney and Bea. They had walks every day. Teri has a great sense of humor and took Bea’s shenanigans with a grain of salt. She sent pictures every day. I could tell how happy they were with her.”

About: Had a deep soul connection with my cat Marbles for 15 years 🖤🐈‍⬛🌹 I enjoy showing animals comfort and care. Not afraid to get down on the ground and play either :) I’m an intuitive and allow animals their space and time to enjoy nature. I prefer not to rush them but can stay on schedule if need be. Please message me if you would like to discuss rates. I’m pretty flexible at the moment; albeit a tad busy also. I do have one other dog that I walk morning and night but we can work around that. If it is an emergency I could probably work something out for home care but right now I’m primarily caring for animals around their own home and neighborhood.

“Ashley did a Wonderful job watching my Dog! She also did my laundry and cleaned up around the house. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“Leea stayed at our house with our dog and parakeets. She took good care of them and of the house, and she sent us pictures to keep us posted. We hope to work with her again in the future. Thanks, Leea!”

About: Ive been around animals ever since I was little and Ive been dog sitting for the past couple of years. I’ve handled dogs of different ages and personalities. Im currently working full time but I have Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays off so im free to take your pups for a walk or even do a check in! I have a 1 year old rescue who gets along well with other people and dogs. Typically he is brought for 1-2 walks each day along with day care twice a week to get some extra socialization and energy out.

About: Jordan Tripp here graduate of Saint Joseph's College of Maine class of 2015. I care for every dog as if it’s my own. Making sure the dog gets a good exercise and healthy diet to keep strong healthy and happy! Doing any and everything to ensure the dogs safety, while making sure owners are updated and informed of changes and plans you so spend the day with the dog. Ensure to have different activities both inside and outside to be prepared for different weather situations as they may change in the same day. I am a young athletic active mature and respectful dog lover. Currently work at the jetport working early mornings, allowing me the entire day to entrain and bring positive company to your four legged companion. I'm home majority of the day to interactive and keep the K9 entertained for most the day instead of being in the house alone like most dogs while their owners are out for work for the day. Working early early mornings gives me afternoons and early evenings to walk or bring your dog to exercise to keep them upbeat and attentive as well as a great listener. I care for every dog as if it’s my own. Making sure the dog gets a good exercise and healthy diet to keep strong healthy and happy! I have a big yard on a private road that isn’t driven on at all so the dog will have plenty of room to be free and not worrying about cars or people distracting the pup.

“Jessica took great care of our dog. This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy and stress free. Penny and our house was well taken care of. Thanks!!”
