Pet care experience
Pet Care From a UK Vet Nurse
My recent move to the US means I am not currently working as a veterinary nurse but would love to look after your fur babies and make sure they are as comfortable as possible whilst their loved ones are away. I have my own little princess, Molly, who it turns out enjoys flying more than me! A little about me: I trained to become a veterinary nurse in a large referral hospital, giving me the opportunity to work with and care for animals with many different needs. I have a Master of Science in Wildlife Biology, and completed my dissertation in the Amazon rainforest studying the distrubutions of different bird species. I have visited 31 countries!

Safety, trust & environment
What my services look like: Drop in visit: This can include feeding your pet, letting them out for a toilet break, playing in the yard, cuddles on the sofa, a full 30 minutes of tug of war, whatever they would prefer to do! Dog walk: Typically 30 minutes. If your dog prefers shorter walks due to age/injury, we can spend the rest of our time getting lots of fuss! I can also do 1 hour walks when needed. On hot days, I tend to shorten the walks and include play time at home, and will always carry water and a bowl to keep your dog hydrated!
Ratings and reviews
She was absolutely wonderful with both of my golden retrievers! She was flexible with the care times I needed and was always available to provide updates while I was out of town. She took so many great photos, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her!
Always great with our pets! Clear and quick communication
Melissa again is wonderful. She is attentive to Maggie and very caring. I am happy to have her watching Maggie for us. It is a comfort to know she is there.
Melissa is an excellent sitter who treats your pet as her own. It was an absolutely seamless experience having her watch my dog. She will be my first pick for sitters going forward.
We are so grateful Melissa was able to take care of our cats for us! She was so sweet to them and went above and beyond to administer our cat’s medication. Would love to book with her again!
Melissa was prompt was caring to Maggie’s needs and delightfully affectionate to Maggie which is definitely something Maggie desires and adores. She was attentive and considerate of Maggie’s needs. It was so comforting to have Melissa take care of Maggie this morning for us.
