Availability
I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets. We often look after our neighbors’ pets and regularly take our own dog out for walks, which made me realize how much I enjoy spending time with animals and helping others with their care. I’m available every day except Saturdays and can offer a range of services including boarding, drop-in visits, walks, or anything else needed to make sure your furry friends are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s a quick check-in or longer stays, I’m here to help and treat your pets as if they were my own.

About Melissa B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow any instructions provided closely to ensure each pet’s routine, diet, and preferences are maintained. I understand that pets are cherished family members, so I treat them with the same level of care, attention, and respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they require lots of play and stimulation, a calm and quiet environment, or something in between. I adapt my approach to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy at all times. I’m also flexible with timings and can work around busy schedules to provide reliable and convenient care. In my home, I can accommodate other pets either alongside my own husky—who is very relaxed and friendly with dogs, cats, and children—or separately if preferred. I have additional rooms and a secure garden, allowing me to tailor my services to suit different animals, temperaments, and situations.

Pet care experience
I’ve always been an animal person and have had all sorts of pets over the years, including Chow Chows, Labradors, Staffies, Huskies and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I’ve raised my own pets from puppies and kittens, and I’ve also adopted and rescued animals, which has taught me a lot about patience, care and really getting to know each animal as an individual. I’m genuinely caring and will always treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m not working at the moment, so I’ve got plenty of time and flexibility for walks, boarding or house sitting, and I won’t be rushing in and out. I’ve got experience with walking, boarding and looking after pets in their own homes, and I just want them to feel comfortable, safe and happy while they’re with me.

Reviews
Melissa is an absolutely wonderful, responsible, and loving pet caregiver. She treats every animal like family, paying close attention to their routines and making sure they feel completely safe and happy. I trust her implicitly with my pets and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone using Rover!
I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough as a pet sitter. She is always on time and incredibly punctual, which gives real peace of mind when you’re relying on someone to care for your pets. She’s organised, follows instructions carefully, and takes the time to understand exactly what your pet needs. Melissa is reliable, understanding, and very down to earth. She genuinely “gets it” when life becomes busy or unpredictable, and she’s always willing to step in and help when you need it most. Whether it’s popping in during a hectic day to make sure your pet is fed or walked, or caring for your furry family member while you’re away on holiday, she goes above and beyond. Her home is always clean and tidy, creating a calm and safe environment. Her own dog is relaxed, well cared for, and great around other animals and people, which really reflects the level of care she provides. Melissa also has experience with a wide range of dog and cat breeds, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
