Dog walking, sitting and adventuring in Edinburgh

Pet care experience

I've owned and walked dogs my entire life, from Pekingeses to Huskies and everything in between! I'm a massive dog lover and outdoor lover. I have a PhD in Zoological Sciences from the Natural History Museum London and work as a part-time researcher at the Royal (Dick) Vet School. I'm exceptionally responsible and conscientious, your dogs safety is of the utmost importance to me. I provide fun, adventurous walks that'll have your pup tired out while you're away. I'm not a dog trainer but I have experience of fearful, nervous and reactive dogs and I will only ever use positive and encouraging walking techniques. If you'd like any other services, e.g an extra long walk, contact me. I also do dog adventure days - if you'd like your pup to have a few hours in the woods, hills or at the beach just let me know. Woof! 🐾

My pup had a lovely time with Melissa down the waters of Leith!

Melissa was great with our slightly mad 6 month old border terrier. She met us and Scout before the sit and made sure to ask lots of thoughtful questions and get to know her first. She looked after Scout well, took her for a nice walk and lots of play, and sent us video and photos to keep is updated. Scout cried when she left so she clearly thought she was great too! Would definitely book Melissa again.

Melissa has looked after our pooch for 3 weeks in our house and brought her out on daily adventures everywhere in and outside the neighbourhood, keeping Arya active and happy. She’s reliable, experienced and a true dog lover who showed great understanding for Arya’s needs. We will not hesitate to hire Melissa again. 5 stars isn’t enough, she deserves 10!

Melissa was a great dog sitter. She kept us up to date all the time. Shadow had loads of walks and had a great time with Melissa. I would definitely recommend Melissa!
