Pet care experience

Dog loving family 🥰

Hello I am Melanie, myself and my teenage children absolutely love all animals, especially dogs. I just lost my beloved German shepherd who was my world, love to start looking after other peoples pets in my own home. I have experience with most breed dogs, as being brought up with dogs all my life. I have a 3 bed house with large garden, love long walks and trips to the beach with your pooches. Any needs catered for you and your pooch. I drive and happy to pick and drop off your dog/cat. I have two teenagers 18 and 17who are animal loving kids who cannot wait to meet and play with your animal in their home. Flexible to your needs. I have a 6ft fence garden, dog proofed garden and house, since having my German shepherd I am a professional at dog proofing my garden and house 😊

Leo and Chico have stayed with Melanie several times now, and they absolutely love it! They are always happy to go back, enjoy being around other furry friends, and come home relaxed and well cared for. Melanie keeps us updated and gives us great peace of mind when we’re away. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our boys. Highly recommended! 🐶🐾

Melanie is absolutely fantastic! She's taken care of our dogs at her home for a week, and this was our third time booking with her. We couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She follows their routines perfectly, gives them so much love and attention, and sends us updates and photos. Our dogs are always so relaxed and happy when we pick them up. They love spending time with her and her children! We highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter!

Schedule

Your pet will have 100% of my time, his/her routine at home will be the same at mine. If they sleep on the bed at home, they will sleep on the bed at mine. Love walking so your dog will be exhausted/happy when he/she arrives home. I do have a African grey parrot who is in a big cage locked while any dogs are over, she likes to bark and shout at the the dogs which is amusing and most dogs find her confusing but get used to her after a while 😅

Safety, trust & environment

Whenever it’s in my home or your home, I will make sure your pet is 100% safe, happy, content and stimulated. The owner will be constantly updated with pictures/videos of what your little pooch is up too.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically as well as mentally, by playing games in the garden with the plenty of toys I have in the house, to walking through the woods with a stream across to my house, also a playing field is over the road where we can run and socialise with other dogs
