Compassionate and reliable care for your pets

Pet care experience

I've always had animals in my life and really enjoy their company. I've had experience with a mixture of breeds, ages and all sizes. I took my previous dog to puppy training classes so am familiar with the basics and of course adaptable to your preferences.

Very informative and quick to reply and updates on how pup was doing! When I went to collect him, he was sat on the sofa looking very content!

Melissa has always been great looking after my two Labradors Charlie and James! She has helped me out for years now so I can always rely on her. She provides great care and would recommend to anyone in need of dog sitting

Information Melissa K. would like to know about your pet

If there's anything I need to know in advance in terms of special needs or any preferences please do let me know so I can prepare or inform you of my experience. I’d love to know your pets general routine if caring for them overnight, ie feeding time/ fave toys/ habits etc so I can make them feel as at home as possible!

A typical day

I love walking and the outdoors myself so any opportunity to get outside with your dog I'll be there.. I live 5 minutes from the beach and have very nice park walks close by too so if they need a long run around or just a short walk to stretch their legs we'll be there. I also love having company of pets so cuddles are more than welcome!!!

I work 9-5 in the center of Bournemouth which is a 5 minute drive from where I live. I'm able to go home during my hour long lunch and have the option to work from home some days. Most of the time available on weekends, I love going out for walks so would be able to take them with me as I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment.
