Reviews
Mellisahas been wonderful, sending photos of willow daily, and because of seeing how comfortable willow was allowed to relax and have really nice time away. I would definitely recommend Mellisa to anyone. Thank you again
Melissa was great with our 3 dogs, she did everything we asked and we felt relaxed leaving Melissa in our home. Melissa sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated I have recommended Melissa to all our friends. Thanks Melissa😁👍😁
Melisa was lovely. Would highly recommend. She looked after our dog and 2 cats at our house for the weekend. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed of how things were going. Trustworthy, reliable and will definitely call on her again.
Melisa was absolutely amazing with little Harley. She asked lots of questions to make sure that my pup was having the best experience possible. Harley can be quite shy around new people but when I came back I saw that she was completely comfortable around her and seemed to adore Melisa! Thank you so much for such a lovely experience to ease my mind and know that my pup is in loving hands whilst I’m away.

My first priority is the safety of your pet and your home. I adhere to any instructions regarding your pet and ask prior questions to ensure I have the most information to make each visit stress-free for you and your pet.
Information Melisa B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any behaviours common for your pet such as social anxiety, aggression towards other dogs or people (dog walking), separation anxiety, outdoor cats, urinating in the house, eating/chewing things that are not food, etc. These behaviours don't mean I won't take your booking!! I just need to know so I can adapt my method of care and be prepared for any situation!
A typical day
To make visits or walks as stress-free as possible, I'd love to take your pet to your usual walking trail or park and play with their own toys. I can also walk them in new areas if they like a challenge or exploring new smells!
