Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet treated like one of my own
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Melinda is absolutely lovely. Easy and quick communication. Provides updates and pictures after every walk. Wonderful person. And my dog adored the walks with her.
Melinda has been marvellous. So helpful regarding collecting keys and dealing with the litter tray etc. But most importantly in taking such good care of Charlie, our cat. Charlie plainly was very taken with Melinda, who was kind enough to send us a little video in addition to the photos. So reassuring to see our cat in her own home in such kind and capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Another lovely time my dog had with Melinda ! Thank you ❤️
very pleased
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.

Schedule
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.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgMelinda can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
- 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.
