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
I honestly can’t thank Melissa and her partner enough for taking care of Blaze for 5 days! ❤️ From the very beginning, I felt completely reassured. They kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and videos, and I could see how happy, comfortable and well looked after he was. Blaze even made some new doggy friends, and they went above and beyond by helping train him with treats, food and everything else. 🥹🐾 I couldn’t recommend Melissa and her partner enough. They are absolutely amazing, and I genuinely wouldn’t leave Blaze with anyone else. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐶
Melissa is clearly passionate about dogs and has a natural affinity with them. She took such good care of my anxious rescue senior, sent regular updates and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. Highly recommended xx
This only being the second time Bobby has stayed with Melissa and in an apartment, Bobby greeted Melissa with a full Body tail wag and lots of excitement, testament to how happy Bobby was to be back. he settled really well Melissa kept me updated with pictures and videos. Fantastic communication through out and a happy sleepy pup on picking him up means he’s had a great time! Thankyou Melissa
Melissa was great - very response and gave great updates throughout the sit. Felt very comfortable 🙂
Bobby had a wonderful stay with Melissa, excellent communication throughout his stay with photos and videos too. Thankyou for taking care of Bobby and I would recommend Melissa to friends and family
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!

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.
Where your pet will stay
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.
