Pet care experience
DBS checked✅ & Pet First Aid qualified⛑, experienced dog walker and pet sitter. I offer flexible pet care services in and around Woking, working to your convenience to ensure your pet is receiving quality care at times when you are busy working or away from home. Having grown up with pets, I understand that they are truly part of the family and require enriching lives filled with interaction, play and affection on top of their basic needs. I will be happy to come and visit you and your pets for a free meet & greet where we can discuss your pets needs and any special requirements. I hope my enthusiasm for looking after animals will put your mind at ease that your pet is in safe hands and will be cared for as if they are one of my own. 🐶🐱🐰🐹🐠❤️
Reviews
I was so happy to find Melissa at relatively short notice. My dogs and cat took to her straight away, she was very thorough making sure she had all the information she needed. I had lovely updates on how the dogs were and it was obvious they love their new friend. I will definitely be using Melissa again
Melissa is really efficient and friendly. Her service is excellent. We come home to a happy dog after being visited by Melissa. We can't thank her enough. Would highly recommend Melissa.
About Melissa J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I put the safety of all pets first. When dog sitting I ensure the utmost attention is given to the dog at all times, being alert to their wellbeing and general disposition. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing and will contact you immediately if they display any behaviour that is out of the ordinary I.e. sickness or not seeming themselves. Their wellbeing is my priority and they are in safe hands.
Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet
Breed of dog, temperament, anything to be aware of when sitting or walking the dog, for example, if they are nervous around traffic or children, have any medical requirements or anything that needs to be monitored closely.
A typical day
While dog sitting I love to engage the dog in playing with any of their favourite toys. I'll let the dog lead the play and encourage them with simple commands like 'go fetch, drop, sit, stay'. For dog walks, we are lucky to have a lot of green parks and beaches to choose from in the Vale. I will usually try to walk the dog to the closest park or beach and keep the route consistent so that they get used to it and feel more at ease. If you would like your dog to be walked anywhere specific just let me know.
