I’m currently in my holiday break with no plans to travel, so I am in my house 24/7. I have a park next to my house and I live in a convenient distance to the bus and train station in case you are looking to drop them on your way there. I can fit my schedule around any need, if they are more comfortable indoor I can also make activities with treats or frozen foods to stimulate them.

PET SITTER AVAILABLE ALL SUMMER

Pet care experience

I’ve had had dogs all my life, (all breed sizes). I used to take care of my friends dogs and cats when they were on holidays since I can remember. I even volunteered to pet sit a neighbor’s dog when I was 5, (I basically forced him to lend me his dog because I used to love him and I didn’t have one). My last dog was a golden retriever, I have experience with her arthritis and I did massages and therapy for her. I have taken care of multiple dogs at a time and I don't mind sharing the bed or letting them sleep wherever they need.

She’s a lovely and caring person with pets. Very professional and keen to safeguard their wellbeing. I feel very calm when leaving my pet around as I know she would take care of them as part of her family!

Melissa took care of my dog, Rocko (who was 12 years old at the time) and my cat, Orion (who was 6 years old). She was the best dog and cat sitter I could ask for. She is great at understanding animal behaviour. She made sure my pets felt comfortable with her from the beginning, something crucial since my cat doesn't like meeting new people. I always recommend her as a caregiver when someone needs a pet sitter. She is patient, responsible and loving!

I adopted my baby Kiwi two years ago, and Melissa always volunteered to take care of him. He was a very energetic puppy, still learning to use puppy pads, and was full of chaos! Since he wasn't allowed outside yet because he was still so young, Melissa stayed with him throughout the day, helping with his potty training and making sure he got plenty of playtime to burn off all that puppy energy. She constantly sent me photos and videos to keep me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also gave him lots of cuddles, and he would even curl up in bed with her. It was clear that he felt completely safe and comfortable in her care. Knowing Kiwi was so happy and was being treated like one of her own made all the difference. I always felt completely at ease leaving him with Melissa, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with him again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter.

Melissa looked after my two dogs (Roma and Mika) for an entire weekend, and I couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear that she genuinely understands how to meet dogs' needs. This was during a heatwave, and she made sure the girls stayed cool with a fan and had plenty of fresh water at all times. Melissa is incredibly kind, and it's obvious how much she loves dogs. I truly felt she cared for them just as I would have myself, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
