Highly-rated overnight sitters - Melrose
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first time boarding our 4 yr old lab. She took pics each day, walks, and allowed our dog to be a part of their family. My girl came home happy and healthy.”

“Wonderful 1st Time Experience!!! Joanne was personable and we felt comfortable leaving Buster for a long weekend while we headed out of state. She was responsive and we hope to use her again very soon!! Thanks Joanne!!”

“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”

About: I have been a pet lover for many years! I enjoy helping out, taking them for walks benefits both of us! Emotional care and play are just as important. I currently work full time from home. I enjoy sitting outside and working in the garden, incorporating play time into our outdoor time is always a must. I have a large unfenced yard, with 3 fur friends of my own to play and show boundaries! I am good at implementing rules or training goals you have for your pet!
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
About: I have been around dogs since I can remember. Small, medium, large, puppy, senior.. I love them all. My 1 year old sassy corgi goes to work with me everyday, so I’ve been able to learn how to train a puppy. I also go on a walk everyday after work and love to have a pup by my side. If your pup doesn’t care for walks, I also have plenty of toys to play with as well! I am able to bathe, brush, trim nails, and give oral medication if mentioned. Throughout the week (Monday-Friday) I have my full time job that I get home from at 5:30. I am allowed to work from home or leave early if needed. Otherwise, I am available after 5:30 on weekdays and all day on the weekends. Even if your pup needs some energy burned on week nights, I am up for it! I have a fairly large yard where I let my corgi run and play with my supervision. I also have a tie out if they want to enjoy some sun on the deck. If your pup needs crated, I have room to keep them in the house comfortably.

While the kids are in school, I have time for walking and caring for people's pets in your home or mine.

“Ali took great care of my 3 cats in Age 14 to 10 months. They have different needs but she made sure they were well fed and less stressed while I was out for vacation. I highly recommend her care.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Melrose
“I have a tiny 7lb dog named Poppy that Jessica introduced to all the other daycare dogs (big and small) with ease right in front of me. It made me feel so comfortable. She sent me pics and videos of Poppy throughout the day as she was rotating between playing, napping and basking in the sun. I would definitely recommend Jessica. In fact, I’ve already scheduled my next daycare drop off for next week!”

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”
