Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Melek 😇 a 42 years old professional linguist freelancing from home in Richmond (TW9). I have grown up living with and caring for pets in need (cats, dogs, bunnies, turtle all at the same time :)) which paved the way for my love against all animals. Yes, I love them all and I do prefer animals over humans anytime 🤷‍♀ My parents currently have 20+ rescued cats in house, my spouse and I have 2 stray cats in our home country, where they are living in a fully furnished flat we are paying the rent for, we do not have the heart to cause them any discomfort of moving, my brother visits them daily and mostly stays with them. We also recently adopted a stray cat in London, yeah that's the cheeky boy in my profile picture :) As you can see, I have a genuine love for pets, and rich experience to show for. Thanks to being a freelancer, I am quite flexible about visiting times, the number of visits a day, things to take care of (curtains, lights, litter box, water&food, cuddles, and playing games!), and sending frequent pictures, and updates as required. I can walk your dog 🐶, feed your turtle 🐢, play with your cat 🐈, and send fluffy pictures of your bunny 🐰. Please contact me and don't hesitate to ask me your questions, I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Love💌, Melek

Highly recommend Melek, she's super friendly & obviously a dog lover. Reggie our dog was very fond of Melek instantly and she gave regular updates on walks which is always appreciated. We will def use Melek again!

Melek did an amazing job looking after our cat. She was attentive and proactive, consistently sending us pictures and updates that made us feel at ease. We highly recommend her services!
