Melissa looked after our senior cat for two weeks and it was a great experience. She was sending everyday updates because we missed our fluffy girl. Will definitely book Melissa next time 🥰

Melissa has been a brilliant host to my Kitten Luna. In addition 🐈‍⬛ had Luna great company with the home Cat ♡. Melissa has a spacious, safe home 🏡 environment for pets with plenty of experience, making me feel at ease leaving my Kitten into her care, even with short booking notice! She provides pet owners with regular pictures of the pet ♡ , I will be definitely using Melissa's boarding service again. Thank you 😊

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

Safety, trust & environment

Pets

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!!!

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!
