I don’t just love dogs; I see them as companions. Balancing that love with the demands of being a full-time blogger means I naturally incorporate pet care into both my daily and weekly routines. I have a pacemaker, and dog walking is a great way to exercise and stay healthy, engaging in something I enjoy. Occasionally, when my husband (Troy) is working from home, he joins us on walks & play time. When I am home, I have plenty of time to walk your dogs and play with them. I am available for weekend boarding, including Drop-In Visits, Doggy Day Care, and Dog Walking. I usually only need a couple of days’ notice when I am home.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behaviours or special needs that I should be aware of, whether they don’t like being touched in certain areas, e.g., feet or ears, and whether they are overactive and need additional walks. I like to make sure the dog is fully comfortable with me.

A typical day

We would go for walks around the parks in our local area or yours, and play fetch where possible to bond and stay active. I generally ensure the dog is both mentally and physically stimulated while we have a great time together.

A four-legged best friend

Pet care experience

I care for your furry loved ones as if they are my own, regardless of their age or size. I have dog-sat for puppies and senior dogs, from calm to very lively. I have also cared for dogs recovering from surgery. I provide attentive, personalised care tailored to each dog’s needs and temperament. With a strong sense of responsibility and clear communication, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for—giving owners peace of mind every step of the way.

Melissa and her husband did an amazing job looking after Blossom whilst we were away. It meant so much to us because we could really enjoy our holiday knowing that Blossom was in safe hands with people who love and understand dogs so well. We got plenty of updates and photos, and the communication was excellent. Blossom came back happy, healthy and full of new adventures! We will definitely be using Melissa again next time we go away 😊

Mel is a super star dog carer, giving our 4 year old cockapoo all the love and attention he needs haha. Lots of pictures and updates throughout to put us at ease - he was clearly a happy boy and really enjoyed his stay with Mel and her hubby. We will book again!

Melissa is professional and fantastic with communication. She was incredibly accommodating to my husband and I with a last minute need for a dog sitter and even with a few even more last minute time changes on the day. We were truly appreciative of her help and we felt confident that our puppy Marshall was well-cared for. Thank you Melissa!
