Animal lover here! Experienced and trustworthy

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Mel. I have plenty of experience caring for animals, growing up with family pets from a young age. I have cared for, and trained our family dog, a Yorkshire Terrier of 14 years and an English Bulldog. I also have experience looking after cats.

Mel was amazing from the very first message, she came to meet Gigi and instantly they loved each other! Mel stayed for almost a week and gave me constant updates and pics of their walks and cuddles. I felt extremely comfortable with Mel and will 100% recommend her to anyone wanting a sitter. We’ve found a gem and will be using Mel again. Thank you ?

This is our first time using “Rover” & Mel. What can I say. Mel is truely amazing. She was fantastic with our dogs, caring, trust worthy, fantastic communication & made us feel very relaxed while we was away. Our 3 dogs really took to Mel & were spoilt rotten by her too. We will definatly be usuing Mel again & already have dates in mind. Mel is an amazing woman & fantastic with Dogs. I cannot recommend her enough ? xxxx

Mel and her partner have looked after Bailey very well and managed to bond with her even though this is not a dog that trusts new people easily. She was also very flexible on drop off and pick up time which helped.

Mel is a kind and sweet person . Who has great experience with old,new,big and small dogs! She has cared for a very old, visually impaired fury friend for many years now, who I have seen first hand living the best life, a dog ever could!

Safety, trust & environment

I listen to instructions carefully and make it my priority to ensure your pets safety and wellbeing while you are away. I will supervise at all times and ensure your pet is safe and secure by closing windows/doors/garden gates etc. I will do my best to provide the love and attention that you yourself may give to your pet, to make them feel happy and comfortable.

Information Mel S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs or anxieties. For example, if your dog was not very sociable I would avoid approaching other dogs. Also please disclose any dietry requirements.

A typical day

I like to take walks to nearby parks so your pet can explore and exercise and when indoors I make sure your pet is happy by interacting with them and playing games or training to keep them mentally stimulated.
