Pet care experience

Your pets are our passion 🐶🥰

I have cared for a wide range of animals over the past 18 years and have been providing dog boarding in my own home for around 4 years. Prior to this, I carried out dog boarding through a large company. Throughout the last four years, I have built up many returning customers, which I believe reflects the care and attention I give to both pets and their owners. Ensuring that both owners and their doggies are happy is always my top priority. I live with my partner Paul and our two children, aged 13 and 15, who are all gentle, respectful, and equally fond of animals, helping to create a calm and welcoming home environment. I also work from home, meaning your doggie will receive lots of consistent love, care, and attention throughout the day. Some of my experience has been looking after dogs for friends and family, and I have cared for a wide variety of doggies, from larger breeds to smaller breeds. I also adore cats and understand how to provide the calm, attentive care they need to feel safe and content. There are no other pets in the household, which allows me to give my full, individual attention to your doggie. To ensure the best experience for every pet, I only accept bookings of two nights or more. I also host just one dog at a time, allowing your pet to enjoy a relaxed, one-to-one environment. 😊

Melissa and her family did an amazing job of looking after Molly while we were away. From our first visit we knew it would be a perfect place for her to stay,be safe,well looked after and loved and we certainly wasn't disappointed. We were sent photos of Molly at least every other day while on holiday and would reply back immediately if we we had any questions. Molly came back to us a very happy and fit dog after plenty of walks too. We will definitely use Melissa's service again. Thank you 😁

"Absolutely satisfied! Mr. Walls was taken care of with great care, love and professionalism. We received photos and information the whole time, so we had peace of mind that he was in good hands. The dog returned happy, satisfied and it was clear that he really enjoyed his stay. Communication was great, everything went smoothly. We definitely recommend and will be happy to use the service again." Thank you:)

Melissa was beyond amazing in every aspect of looking after topaz. Melissa gave topaz a home away from home, and I couldn’t ask for anything better. I highly recommend Melissa’s doggie services. And I will be definitely booking with her again.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Melissa gives to Kingsley. She truly treats him like her own, and it shows in how relaxed, happy, and well-loved he is every time we’re away. Melissa goes above and beyond to keep us updated, sending plenty of photos and little updates that always put our minds at ease. It makes such a difference knowing Kingsley is not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and enjoying himself. Because of Melissa, we’re able to fully relax when we’re away, knowing he’s safe, happy, and in the best hands possible. We’re so grateful to have found her!

Melissa and her family were wonderful with topaz. They made the best home away from home. Looking forward to using her doggie services again.
