Pet care experience
I have been a dog owner for the last 7 years and a cat owner all my life. I therefore appreciate the needs, walks, love, care and attention our furry friends need I lead a very active life style and am always out walking with our pooch. I have a 7yr old, female, German Shepherd who I’ve had since she was a puppy. My GSD has been through all the training regimes - puppy classes, beginner, intermediate and advanced courses (I am by no means a dog trainer though). My GSD has also undertaken some agility classes & loves nothing more than showing off her party tricks, from spin, twist and kiss to playing dead. Owning a breed such as a GSD has taught me a lot about the demands a dog needs, whether that be exercise, socialisation, mental stimulation etc. I have a love for all breeds regardless of their size and have regular contact with my friends dogs, ranging from sausage dogs, cavapoos, springer spaniels to border collies and I often look after them when my friends go away 🏨 I understand work commitments and social events can sometimes get in the way of exercising our dogs so I am happy to help anyone in need....plus I enjoy it and it keeps me active ☺️ I also owned a cat (Molly) for 15 years but sadly lost her in 2022 due to a tumour. Cats have always been a family pet so I grew up with and around them, right from when I was 4 months old. I therefore have a lot of experience with our feline friends and am more than happy to pop in to feed your cat, provide fresh water, empty any litter trays, give them a cwtch or play with any toys that they enjoy 🐈🐈⬛
Reviews
Mel💖 Our Bella absolutely adores Mel, I know this last visit Bella didn't want to walk but Mel entertained her for the hour and as long as it breaks up Bella's day we're happy! She was well worn out and took herself into her crate before Mel left which was great news! Will continue to book with Mel, she's fab🥰
A amazing dog walker, would highly recommend Mel to anybody. Thank you Mel the dogs were so well look after. Dee & Dave Renton xx
We booked Mel pretty last minute to walk our bouncy labrador! She was excellent, reliable, trustworthy and Llew seemed to be pretty fond of her too. We wouldnt hesistate to book with Mel again in the future.
Mel was fantastic. She came for a meet and greet to meet our cat Lucy and fed her and gave her attention while we were away. She sent photos and information about how Lucy was every day. She did exactly what she said she would do. 😊

I understand that it can be worrying leaving your fur baby with someone new so I’m more than happy to provide photos and videos of your pet/s whilst they are in my care, either through the Rover app or directly through what’s app. I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19 but more than happy to wear a face mask during home visits if required. If you think I would be a good match for your pup or kitty cat or if you have any questions, please let me know ☺️
Home
Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special requirements, any personality traits that I should be aware of or any other information which you feel may be beneficial. Please also let me know how your dog behaves on walks, whether they need treats, how they are with other dogs/people or whether they have any particular favourite walking routes. Plus any commands that you reinforce on walks, e.g. “sit” before crossing any roads etc.
A typical day
Dogs not only need physical exercise but they also require mental stimulation. Your dog and I can go for nice walks where your dogs can sniff and read their newsfeed or we can play with their favourite toys or practice any tricks they have learnt and/or are learning. If there is anything in particular your dog loves to do, just let me know. If you require drop in visits for your cat, I can offer this also, along with a variety of other pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters to name a few.

Availability
I currently work full time from Monday - Friday (home working at the moment) but I have the benefit of flexi time. I can therefore tailor walking, feeding or visiting times to suit both you and your pet, e.g. mornings, lunchtimes, evenings and weekends.
