Highlights
Pet care experience
PET SITTER AVAILABLE IN CITY CENTRE
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.

Ratings and reviews
First time using a dog sitter I didn’t know already and can’t reccomend Melissa enough - My dog Milo loved her and even though it was a new experience for him he settled instantly and had the best time 🫶
Melissa was brilliant! She was really speedy at replying and very helpful. She took great care of Kobbie and shared lots of updates and pictures. She stayed with him whilst he was struggling to settle in his crate and kept me updated which I really appreciated.
She was absolutely amazing! I booked her very last minute because something unexpected came up, and she was so understanding and happy to help. She was incredibly reassuring, kept me updated throughout, and made me feel completely at ease. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Buddy, received over the weekend, including the Bank Holiday. Melissa looked after him with genuine love, affection, and attention, making sure all of his needs were met. Buddy clearly had a wonderful time and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. What really stood out was the extra effort Melissa made when Buddy got himself covered in mud after playing in some puddles. She kindly gave him a wash before we collected him, which was a thoughtful gesture and very much appreciated. We would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and caring pet sitter. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Buddy with her again and look forward to booking with her in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thankyou so much for looking after Ozzy this weekend, you were an absolute lifesaver. Ozzy seemed to have a wonderful time, it was really nice to see how much you both love the dogs.
Great communication. Very conscientious dog sitter. Caring and Buddy had a fantastic stay! 🐶
Calendar and availability
Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Depending on your needs. I am fllexible with long walks, or multiple short walks. I can prepare activities and games for them to stay active inside as well, like frozen fruit or hiding treats around the house. I can brush their hair and teeth. Anything that you may need to pamper them and have an easy time while being away from you. I am not an official trainer but I've trained my own dogs always for potty and the casual paw and sit tricks. I am also available for phone calls 24/7.
A typical day
I usually take them to the park every day to play ball, get some exercise, and enjoy a nice walk around the neighborhood. When we’re indoors, I love keeping them entertained with games of tug-of-war and hiding treats around the house for them to sniff out and find. I also enjoy giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, pets, and lots of love so they feel happy and loved.
