Availability

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 😅

Pet care experience

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! 🐶🐾
