Pet care experience

Your Pet's New Bestie ❤️

I walked many dogs and looked after many cats. Owned guinea pigs and hamsters so I'm also good with the small ones. :) I listen to pet's body language and give them the space and time, cuddles, and love they want. I will tend to their needs and whims and provide you with photos and videos so you won't have to miss them too much

House Sitting • Mar 17, 2026

Melissa was so caring and conscientious looking after my dog Majky, who has medical needs while we had a weekend away. I was nervous to leave him and my other pets but she honoured all of my requests and attended to all his needs. Majky can be a difficult dog to win over and he needs a lot of attention but Melissa was very patient with him and he had a fantastic time while she was pet sitting, as seen in the photo updates she sent me. I will definitely be booking again in the future and recommending her to my friends.

Super happy with my pet sitting over the weekend! I have 3 cats and Mel was super loving to my furry baby's! She understands that they mean the world to me and she played with them and followed to the feed instructions perfectly! She sent pictures and I'm very happy with the service 🐈 I will recommend Mel to friends and when I go away again x

She took excellent care of my dog and was reliable, attentive, and kind. My dog was happy and well looked after, and I felt completely at ease. I would gladly trust Mel with my dog again

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As I work full-time, I'd like to petsit mainly on the weekend, however, I can do boarding for cats all days and check in for pet care before or/and after work. Morning walks/drop ins need to be 6-7:30 am and afternoon walks after 4pm. Weekend walks and drop ins can be anytime. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a house with spacious rooms and all the cosy corners and toys a cat needs. The house also comes with a fenced garden. ‼️ I can only board cats even though my profile unfortunately doesn’t show it, as my landlady doesn’t allow dogs atm.

A typical day

I pretty much let the animal decide what to do: if they are cuddly, I'll provie them with lots of cuddles and pets, if they need to release energy, we will take walks and play in parks until they wanna go home, if they need space they will get space. I listen to the language of the animal so that they feel respected and get their wishes fulfilled. :) Happy pet happy life. 🐶🐱
