Pet Sitting in Melvin Village

“Heather came to the rescue when another sitter was unable to make it last minute. She came over the same day I asked if she was available to meet my dogs. She did exactly what was needed and I’m so thankful that she was available last minute! I will definitely be using her again!”

About: With between three and four years of hands-on experience training dogs under the guidance of various professional trainers, I've developed a well-rounded approach that blends multiple techniques into my own daily structure and curriculum. This foundation in training allows me to offer more than just exercise—I provide mentally enriching experiences for the dogs in my care. In addition to training services, I offer both solo and small group hikes (up to four dogs), ensuring each dog gets personalized attention, socialization, and the physical activity they need to thrive Your dog’s well-being is my number one priority, and that extends to every part of their experience—from training and transport to time on the trail. I understand that every dog (and owner) has unique needs, so I strive to be as flexible as possible with scheduling. Whether you need regular weekly hikes or occasional help, I’m happy to work with your availability to make sure your dog gets the care, structure, and attention they deserve. My vehicle is equipped with three crash-tested crates, each securely strapped down to ensure stability and protection on the road. For dogs who prefer to ride as passengers, I also provide a dog seat belt option for a safe and comfortable journey. I keep spare leashes and muzzles in the car at all times to be prepared for any situation, ensuring every dog is transported with the highest level of care and responsibility.

About: I’m an all animal lover, I have several pets including two young dogs that I adopted. We love to go for walks, play at the park or hang around the house and play with toys. We would love to spend time with other dogs or any pet you may have. I am available evenings and or nights and some afternoons. I work the evening shift as a nurse and know how hard it can be to find some one you can trust with your babies, especially on the off times. I can provide safe play and walks with or without my dogs, experienced with ferals, ages from young to old and of course lots of love and healthy snacks.also experienced with caged animals and bearded dragons!

About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.

About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!

“Alissa is amazing! So glad she was available last minute! She stayed in touch the whole time, was super reliable and on time for every visit, and our dogs absolutely loved her. She really spent quality time with them and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend Jessica! She was great with Aslan. Aslan can be quirky with new people--but he warmed up so quickly to Jessica (in fact, he was asleep on her feet about 15 minutes into our meet and greet!) Based on the pictures she sent, he looked happy and content on his walks. Jessica was prompt for our meetups and even swung by a second time to pick up a key (when I couldn't find it the day of our meetup). We'll definitely use Jessica again when we're away in the future.”

“The absolute best pet sitters in the Lakes Region! Our two dogs were well cared for on our well long vacation!”

About: I have been living with animals ever since I was a child! At a young age I was taught the love, respect and care for an animal. The highlights of my day are coming home to my animals! I will handle your animals with the same love and care as a person. I've lived with cats for 26 years and dogs for 10 years. I've turned to dog sitting as I cannot have a dog at my current apartment. It will be beneficial to us both as I will be able to play/walk with your animals and you'll be able to rest assured they are in good hands! Please reach out to me with any questions you may have! I am available Monday-Friday and Sunday night!

“Jennifer is so awesome! Friendly and flexible, great with animals. Her check ins were detailed, I could tell Bella was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond.”

“Alina did a great job looking after our cats. Our kitties were all healthy and happy when we returned from our trip. No better recommendation than happy cats!”

Debra D.

“Kayla was awesome!! She really helped us on short notice and went out of her way to meet us the day before as we requested. Highly recommend and would request her help again!”

About: Hey dog parents! My name is Jane and I have extensive experience as a full-time pet boarder and sitter when I was based in Nashville, as seen from my reviews! I loved it so much, but I also front a rock band, and our touring schedule has prevented me from pet-sitting consistently for the past couple of years. I also live in a converted campervan with my fiance Ian (a fellow dog lover as well). We will be bouncing around the northeast area for the summer and fall, so we will be available to care for your pet! :) Having our own space in the van works great for house sitting because we can park outside your home, but we don't have to use your kitchen or bedroom, while still spending most of the day in your home with your pet. The perfect blend of boundaries and creating a stable environment for your pet! But of course, if you have a pet that prefers to have someone sleep in the house (it's happened MANY times before) we can keep the schedule they are used to. We don't mind dogs in bed if that is what they are used to. It is all about keeping life consistent for your babe. I have always been a dog lover and grew up with a golden retriever, Honeymoon. Making sure dogs feel comfortable and loved is so important to me! Being in a small space and touring in a band prevents us from getting our own pup, but we would love to help care for yours! We are self-employed so our schedule is very fluid. We would work on our laptops in your home, being with your pet most of the day! I love taking walks, so it is no problem to give your dog regular exercise! Playtime and cuddling are always a must to make your dog feel loved and ease anxiety while you are away!

“I can't say enough great things about the care Jamie B. Gave to our old boy, Buddha🐾💙 She went above and beyond with detailed doggo stats at every visit and sent lots of pictures and videos as well. Quality care from a wonderful human being☺️”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have friends around the area that have asked for my help with their dogs on multiple occasions. They have often stayed overnight for days in a row. I love making the pet feel comfortable and loved. I promise to take great care of your pet. I am currently a stay at home mom and we adopted a dog. We are always playing outside and taking walks and would love another dog to join us! I will take care of your pet exactly as you do. I will make sure to keep any eating, walking or training schedules that are already in place.

“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”

Celeste H.

“Phoebe was AMAZING! I asked her to bring her pup Kole during her pop in visit to give my dogs a chance to really stretch the legs while we were away for the day. She sent the best pictures and was so sweet to my babies. Her communication was amazing and I most certainly will be using her again”

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.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life and began volunteering with rescues 8 years ago. I have fostered several puppies in preparation for their new homes, and I’ve done pet care for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. If I’m not caring for other pets, I can usually be found spending time with my own dogs who are 7 and 8 years old. I work 4 days a week and would love to provide care during my 3 off days. I’m also available for some walks and drop-in visits before work in the mornings. I plan to provide the same kind of care to your animals that I do to my own. I know that pets are family and I want to make your absence a little easier for them.
