Dog Boarding in Melrose

Bella was happy to see Rob and his kids again when we dropped her off, which is a very good sign. It was a long stay of 3 weeks while we were off in Africa. Rob and his family took great care of Bella, including long walks, a dog-friendly house, amiable dog companions (good socialization), and cheerful kids. Rob kept us in the loop with lots of photos and updates - when your dog is smiling in the photos, it makes a long trip much more relaxing :-). Rob and his family work as a team; they love dogs and understood Bella's needs very well. Thanks!

After initially boarding Tippy for the first time a month ago for a single overnight stay, we knew we could trust Elliot and Jo to take care of him again while we took a little vacation. Even when we went to drop him off, he was so excited to see them and wagged his tail like crazy! Their calendar is always up-to-date, and they are incredibly communicative and friendly. During Tippy's boarding, we were never worried, as they sent texts with daily updates and photos and quickly responded to any questions. They were aware of Tippy’s leash-reactivity and followed all our care instructions, and he had a lot of fun while they kept him super active. Elliot and Jo are the best sitters, and we are confident that Tippy is in good hands when he's with them and that we can depend on them to give him their full attention with their "one dog at a time" policy! We won't hesitate to book with them again!

Frank had a lot of fun and was well taken care of! Lots of pictures and updates.

Search no further for the ideal pet sitter! Linda is the gold standard. My condo dog had the time of her life on walks in a true neighborhood filled with Linda's neighbors and friends, a couple of whom came over to say goodbye. She even had playdates. I am certain that my dog is as happy with this gentle, loving soul, Linda, as she is with me.

Amazing! They took care of our dog Brownie for a week and he loved it so much that he started crying when he realized he was leaving his new friends 🥹 10000% recommended

Yang and Pat were amazing with Romeo. I got many wonderful photos throughout my trip. The best was him going to school with her son❤️. Romeo was in such great hands. He was quite tired from all his wonderful walks everyday. He can't wait to see this lovely family again.😊

Jennifer is fantastic! We could tell she loves animals and she took great care of our little fur baby. She was great with communication and sent us picture updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Zelun was fantastic! He sent daily updates with photos/videos and my dog came back happy and well exercised. Looking forward to booking again!

Amy and her partner are amazing! It was our first time using Rover (after a very disappointing pet hotel experience a couple months prior) and we were put at ease by Amy's professionalism and kindness right from the get go. They took our pup on many walks, excursions to the Farmer's Market, doggy play dates, etc... and sent us many pictures and videos of their adventures while we were away. It really felt like they treated Bean like their own and we were so comforted to know she was in such good care. We will definitely be boarding Bean at Amy's house for any future trip we take!

Truly great sitters! They watched Ralph for a full weekend, keeping us updated throughout and truly caring for him like one of their own - highly recommend for any sitting needs you may need!

Absolutely the best! Victoria is just the best and our Allie loves her! We are so thankful for Victoria, and we wouldn't trust our baby with anyone else. Thank you for everything and for taking such good care of Allie!!

Thank you as always for taking good care of our energetic puppy. I appreciate the real time feedback and seeing videos and pictures. Thank you.

Martha made it so I never had to worry about my cats by sending me pictures and videos of them every day. It was always nice to see them! Thank you Martha!

Carl had a great long weekend with Ann and Jim! Even with a lot of snow on the ground, he went on lots of walks and played in the yard. I appreciated receiving daily updates with photos while I was away. I would definitely recommend Ann and Jim to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!

JJ and Youfei took great care of our corgi Chewy! They sent updates with lots of pictures and videos everyday and were very accommodating of our drop off and pick up schedule. Nano is super cute and it’s great to see the corgis playing together!

McKenzie was great! Our dog was in good hands the whole time and updates/communication were clear. We would definitely book again. Her dog is super cute and friendly and got along really well with our dog!

Todd (and Cara) were perfect sitters! I get really nervous leaving our dog with new people as he can be a bit quirky & extremely routine-oriented, but I immediately felt comfortable with the two of them minutes into our meet and greet. They asked all the right questions, and it was clear that they know how to take amazing care of dogs & know what to ask about to ensure a comfortable stay. It was clear that they cared about keeping Pluto on his usual routine, and I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about Pluto at all. I truly hope that Pluto gets the chance to stay with them in the future -- thank you SO much!

Svetlana took such wonderful care of our two dogs!! She walked them wonderfully and did all of their exercises and meditation. Communication was excellent!! We’d book again no hesitation!

Julie took great take care of my dog, Sherlock. She sent multiple pictures from the daily activities with Sherlock. She responded my texts very promptly. She was also very flexible and kind with the pick up time as we had to pick him up a little later than anticipated. We will definitely work with her again in future! Thank you so much Julie!
