Central T.Wells and I WFH so flexible on timings
Pet care experience
I’ve loved dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Great Danes, Alsatian’s and other large breeds. I rescued my French bulldog Flora from a breeder in a terrible state - completely scared and shut down with huge health problems. Despite her start she was the sweetest soul and with love and patience (and huge vet bills 🙈) she lived to the grand age of 14. Travelling for my previous job meant I wasn’t able to have another. I now WFH and although we have black labs in the family, I miss having a dog of my own. Im experienced with most traits of a dog due to my work with rescue charities and my brother is a specialist vet with own practice - so it runs in the family! Every dog I have had or looked after comes with their own personalities and quirks. Always happy to see you with a waggy tail and a sloppy kiss. I’m also used to older dogs who require a slower pace too so can be flexible wether they are 3 months old or 13 yrs old! Please contact me if you have any questions going forward
Reviews
Melissa has been coming in 2-3 times a day for the past couple of months when needed and our labradoodle Poppy absolutely adores her. She loves our dog and we trust her coming into our home and would highly recommend her.
Melissa has been house and dog/cat sitting for me for several years now. She is highly reliable, responsible and our dogs and cat love her to bits. She’s genuinely passionate about animal care- even noticing potential issues about their wellbeing to me and goes above and beyond the call of duty for our pets and us. I cannot recommend her highly enough and anyone who works with her is in very safe, experienced hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to stick to a walking route known to the dog or take them elsewhere. Please also note - I have had to complete a DBS check for my job - so I am Cleared by police and can show this for you’re peace of mind and security if asked.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
Full knowledge of any allergies or medications needed to be admistered or any personality traits the dog may have. Would the owners like photo updates or a call? I’m flexible on both.
A typical day
I live off Mount Ephraim, close to the cricket green, so there are loads of hidden walks and paths off the road around and down into town going through Calverly & Grove Park. I’m missing the interaction I had with the dog charities I was involved with. I used to take some of the shelter dogs out with us to exercise them and ensure they had human interaction - which would help toward their personalities to keep them used to people and aid their chances of rehoming. It doesn’t hurt that I want to get fitter too - so the additional exercise will be a bonus!!
