Safety, trust & environment

Drop in visits to tend to your pet will include toilet breaks, cleaning up any mess (made by the pet however can arrange household cleans on request), feeding, fresh water bowl, playtime / cuddles and giving the pet any medication if needed. Dog walking will be covering Richmond and surrounding boroughs. Happy to care for dogs, cats and other domestic pets. Overnight stays can also be arranged however I would need at least 1 walk or drop in visit with the pet prior to this. Overnights are 8pm to 8am, if you would like day care at your property too this can also be arranged for an additional charge. Highly experienced grooming my own pets so can arrange basic grooming too.

Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet

- The pets daily routine and normal energy level. - Feeding schedule and any dietary needs. - Favourite toys and treats. - Any dislikes the pet has. - Any medications, medical conditions and allergies. - How they are with other dogs, animals and people. - The dogs temperament on walks and recall (If you want me to let them off the leash this will only be done when we’ve built up trust and that I know they will return on my command). - House rules (If the dogs allowed on furniture / what rooms they can/can’t go in).

A typical day

My chihuahua is very energetic so I always ensure she has a nice fluffy toy to throw and play with at home. She also loves playing fetch and going on long walks around Richmond park. I will happily do the same with yours and show them lots of love in the process.

Melissa has helped me look after my Rottweiler Rocky. He is a big dog and she is able to keep control of him on walks with no issues. Whenever she takes care of him she is good at keeping on time with all his medication and dietary and cleaning needs. He loves spending time with her and is always very happy when he sees her.

Melissa walks my three Dachshunds regularly, they have formed a lovely bond with her and very much enjoy their walks. Melissa is a friendly and professional and reliable. Melissa has also pet sitted my dogs at my home while I have travelled. Melissa is trustworthy and has a genuine caring nature
