Pet care experience

Safe, Fun, and Tail-Wag Approved!

~ABOUT ME~ I have grown up with dogs in my family and have worked with a small dog care company for three years. So i was constantly surrounded by all types of pups growing up. During this time I have been able to take care of many dogs, of all sizes such as chihuahuas to vizslas. As well as handling dogs with anxiety, reactivity issues and hyperactive dogs I've been able to properly take care of them by prioritising their comfort and safety. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and tailoring my care to their unique needs. ~MY HOME/AREA~ I have a small garden for your pup to have regular potty breaks. There are many well fenced parks with paddocks and open spaces where your pup will be able to exercise, your dog will have a great companion, Louie (my chihuahua) who loves meeting new friends :) You can take a look at some of our adventures with his buddies on mikey_springador Instagram and the photo gallery :)

Doggy Day Care • Apr 14, 2022

Pablo LOVES Mel and Mikey :) She is incredibly patient and put in so much effort to ensure he gets social time and exercise. It’s also very important for my pup to have time to sleep during the day and she ensures all His needs have been met. We are so lucky we found you Mel and look forward to next time :) thanks for all your help!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 08, 2022

Melanie is a true pro! She is caring, patience and knowledge. Milo stayed with Melanie a few times and she dealt with his fears, insecurities ( and reactivity). She has also advised me on things that I can do to support my dog. Milo had plenty of walks and fun games whilst staying with Melanie. She kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout his stay. Highly recommended it. Thank you Melanie ?

Melanie has taken care of Cassie many times, and even let her stay over when I’ve gone on holidays. She has always provided me with regular updates, sending pictures of Cassie having a great time at the park. Every time I have gone to pick my dog up, she is always well rested and happy. Thanks Melanie, can’t wait for you to continue taking care of her.
