About Melissa M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am an animal talker - I have conversations with animals as if they could understand me, haha! I treat every animal as if they were family, which is why I love fostering so much. Making sure they have fresh water, have clean areas, have enrichment, company, love, and exercise. And I love updating pet parents!
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know everything about your pet! Their favourite things, their least favourite things. Relevant medical history/things I should look out for (e.g. for rabbits, are yours prone to stasis).
A typical day
Rabbits: Getting them some fresh greens, giving them enrichment like puzzles, space to run and binky. Cats: Cat toys, lasers, grooming. Dogs: Going for a smell-led walk, practicing cues, playing with their favourite toys.

Pet care experience
I've taken care of my own pets for 30+ years, and currently foster rabbits for a rescue. I've also had my own behavioural/dog-reactive dog, and have done extensive training for her. I'm a medical student and have extensive experience with pets that require more medical care. I'm not afraid of animals and have been bitten by cats and rabbits, and have the scars to prove it!

Reviews


Every visit reminds me why I keep booking with her. She’s trustworthy, kind, and incredibly thorough. My cats are comfortable with her, and she always goes the extra mile. The fact that she even trims their nails says so much about the level of care she provides. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Melissa is our go to cat sitter and she goes above and beyond all the time. I will trust her anytime with my cats! Highly recommend.



Melissa was amazing! I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the care, love, and attention she gave my three cats while I was away. She is not only incredibly trustworthy and responsible, but was also deeply intuitive and gentle with my cats. One of my them needed extra attention, and Melissa didn’t hesitate to check in on him even when it wasn’t a scheduled visit, just out of kindness and concern. That kind of compassion is rare and meant the world to me. She kept me updated with detailed messages and the sweetest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could fully relax knowing my cats were in the best hands. Melissa is warm, kind, had a great personality and is very reliable, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, she is the one!

Melissa is a great sitter and is our go to for weekend trips away to look after our cat. She leaves detailed checkin’s and photo updates which our daughter loves to see while away. Will continue to book with her again 🙂
