Availability

I am at home full time and Rover is my main job and my passion! I am flexible with time and will always try to fit in around your schedule. I can offer walks from your home/drop in visits to feed/let outside/play/give cuddles and day care in your home. Whatever your needs, we can usually find a way to make it work so life runs smoothly for you and your pet. Please note that I usually only offer day care in your own home - from my experience, dogs and puppies are more settled in their own familiar surroundings and there is less disruption all round for owners and their pets. Of course, if you are only passing through this area, we can discuss that too! Doggy day care fees are for up to 8 hours - adjustments can be made for longer bookings and a big discount for half-day bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s well-being and safety is of the upmost importance to me, which is why I would love to meet them before the scheduled visit so they could feel comfortable with me and for an opportunity to learn about their likes and dislikes and discuss anything that I might need to know. Above everything else, I would give your pet as much love and care as if it was one of my own and I would hope to become good buddies with them. I also have an up-to-date DBS certificate.

Information Melinda W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all about what your dog or cat enjoys doing and how I can look after their needs. Favourite games and treats, any special commands, dietary requirements, little quirks or anything at all that helps make them feel secure and happy is good to know too.

A typical day

I’m always happy to play games with them or continue with any training that their owners are doing. Or if they are happier being left to their devices at home, that’s fine too. I only want your pet to feel safe and happy with me so that you don’t have to worry about them.

Your pet treated like one of my own

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved our furry friends and believe they make the world a happier place. I grew up with a cat and a dog and lost our beloved 12 year-old miniature schnauzer at the end of 2022. The most important thing for me is for your pet to feel comfortable and happy with me so you can relax and know that they are being taken care of as if you were with them yourself. I only ever look after one dog at a time (unless they come as a pair or more) so cater for those who are nervous around other animals or just need completely undivided attention which I happily give. I very much forward to building a relationship with many more gorgeous animals and their owners.

Can’t fault how this all worked. New to me and will definitely use again, especially if Melinda is available as she did an outstanding job of keeping Quilpie happy and me informed.

Highly recommended! Melinda went above and beyond to make sure Islay was cared for when I had failed to update the address on my Rover account, sending her to the wrong location!. Very kind and thoughtful. Could not recommend highly enough.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
