Information Melanie C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific care needs, or even little traits that stand out. I’m more than willing to do what I can to make them happy.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks with dogs to stimulate them physically and mentally! I have tons of patience for dogs who love to sniff and energy for the ones who want to play games.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Growing up we had a golden retriever, and various cats throughout. My partners family has three dogs which I also look after from time to time!

We were up at York races for the afternoon and left our dog with Melanie for a few hours. Melanie cared for her so well and was so flexible and accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos. If you need a dog sitter in York, please do book Melanie!

I couldn’t recommend Melanie & Lewis more!!! With this being the first time I’ve ever left my dogs with a dog sitter rather than family or friends, I was nervous as they’re my babies but also nervous for my dogs. I have two whippets and one can be a nervous wreck. She’s not confident with other dogs and likes her space on walks but I made all of this known to Melanie & Lewis and they were so understanding. The second time my dogs went to Doggy Day Care, they were so excited to see Melanie & Lewis and couldn’t have ran off with them quick enough - I think that says everything. They’re both been great with communication before, during and after the booking. They’ve given me so many updates and photos which I’ve loved. They’re also such lovely people and are the best to look after your little babies. I’ll 100% be booking again!!! ❤️❤️

Melanie and Lewis are two of the most attentive, caring, and reliable doggie carers we have ever met! Mira was looked after so well, with so much effort on their part taken to communicate with us and ensure they were catering to her needs. Our doggie has never been so happy away from home and she will absolutely be heading back to Mel and Lewis for another holiday soon!

Melanie and her partner did a perfect job of looking after our labradoodle, Sonny, for two weeks while we travelled Australia. This is the first time we had used a dog sitter so naturally we were a bit nervous, but we need not have worried as Melanie put us at ease - both beforehand with her quick and friendly response to our initial enquiry and by meeting with us and Sonny and while we were away with her daily WhatsApp updates. We would not hesitate to have Melanie take care of Sonny again! Thank you - we had a lovely time away knowing that Sonny was in great hands :)
