Pet care experience

Animal lover for pet sitting!

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 is absolutely fantastic! Took such good care of our dog and sent us loads of pictures and videos 🥰 She was really accommodating at very short notice and clearly loves animals. Thanks so much, will be booking again!

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 ☺️

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.
