Information Melanie J. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference. I love all animals, especially dogs. I think I love dogs more than I love humans... I'd like to know what the animal like and dislikes to ensure they are comfortable with me, while their family are away.

A typical day

I am cery active and enjoy long and short walks - whatever is best for your dog! For any cuddle loving pets, I love these too!

Melanie J.'s Neighborhood

Animal lover for pet sitting!

Pet care experience

I've always loved animals, most specifically dogs. I have always had dogs (labrador, terriers and a giant Newfoundland) and I've had a Cat in the past (who had thumbs?!). I am a keen walker so any dogs will have as much or as little exercise as they like. I have flexible working hours and I work remotely so I am available for all your pets needs and can work anywhere! I dog sit for my cousin, my two friends and my partners family dogs and as mentioned above, I have had dogs since I was a young girl. I also look after my friends Cat when he is away. I am reliable and will keep you updated on how your pet is doing while you are away. I am a top class cuddler for those that like a snuggle :) I live in a ground floor flat, easy to go for toilet breaks. Although I do not have a private, enclosed garden I live directly opposite Bute Park/Pontcanna fields so am only 2 or 3 minutes away from lovely walks!

Mel was amazing looking after Tommy for the weekend for me, she kept me updated with messages and pictures and he had a fab time! Lots of lovely walks on the beach, cuddles and I know he was well looked after, and well walked too! Mel loves dogs so I knew he would be in safe hands ☺️
