Pet care experience

I have a rescue cat which has been with me for 6 years. The mother of the cat abandoned her when she was only 2 weeks old so I had to feed her milk from the bottle, make sure she can do her toilet properly and keep her warm while she was going to sleep. Alongside that I have looked after several other animals such as tortoises, birds and dogs. I’m the happiest when I’m around animals.

We can’t speak highly enough of Melissa who house sat and looked after our dog Peggy and cat Putin overnight. Reliable, trustworthy and a pleasure to deal with. We returned home to two very happy pets. We’ll be booking her again.

Melissa took great care of Obi and provided regular updates for us. She was very responsive to messages and arrived and left on time. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again - thank you Melissa! :)

Melissa looked after our Cavapoo while we were out for the day. She arrived on time and was very cheerful. Our dog was very relaxed in her company and she was very good at sending us updates. We would definitely recommend Melissa to others, she obviously cares a lot for animals.
