Availability
I work from my home in Cannock Wood, right on the doorstep of Castle Ring, with my sweet senior dog Bessie by my side. I’m currently available for weekday and weekend walks, as well as drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine to keep things calm, consistent and stress-free. Whether they need a slow stroll, some company while you're out or just a bit of extra care.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm environment with a secure garden and a gentle senior dog (Bessie) for company. I offer plenty of quiet rest time and will never leave them unattended.

Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any special requirements - dietary, medical, behavioural or anything else that makes them feel safe and happy. I welcome all personalities. Please also share their preferred walking pace, likes/dislikes and daily routines. I am happy to provide homecooked food if required (I make bone broth and golden turmeric paste for Bessie, so your dog won't be missing out on the good stuff!)
A typical day
I’m just a stone’s throw from Castle Ring and Gentleshaw Common and know all the best trails across Cannock Chase to ensure your dog enjoys safe, enriching strolls full of exploring and sniffing. I have an XL stroller for dogs who still love getting out, but may not have the stamina they once did, so they can enjoy the journey comfortably. At home, there are plenty of toys and balls for playtime, along with snuffle mats filled with healthy treats or a lick mat with kefir, blueberries, and local honey (Bessie's favourite!) for a nutritious post-walk wind-down. After all that excitement, your dog can choose from several cosy spots around the house to take a nap. We have air conditioning for warm days and a log burner to snuggle up by on colder evenings. Your dog will have access to their own bedroom with a double bed, fresh sheets and a soft nightlight - though if they’d rather have company (and don’t mind a little snoring from resident pup Bessie), they’re very welcome to stay close by. Of course, everything is tailored to suit your dog’s individual routine and dietary needs so they can feel completely at home.

Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs my entire life. I'm especially experienced with older dogs who may require a gentler pace, extra patience and attentive care.
Reviews
Melissa was amazing! Managed to tire out our crazy pup with no fuss. 3 walks, lots of pictures of a happy Bonnie and great communication theoughout the whole process, would highly recommend! Thankyou Melissa - Joe Woof❤️ - Bonnie
Very reliable and attentive dog care. Followed all instructions, provided regular updates, and made sure my dog’s needs were met. Highly recommend.
I've had the joy of watching Melissa care for our dog Bessie for the past 8 years, and I can confidently say any dog would be lucky to spend time with her. She's been more than just a pet parent, she’s been Bessie’s best friend, protector, and constant companion. Whether it’s long walks, playtime at the park, or simply providing the love and attention dogs thrive on, she does it all with unmatched care and compassion. She truly understands dogs, their needs, their moods, and their little quirks. Her patience, responsibility, and deep love for animals make her the perfect person to entrust with your furry family member. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced to care for your dog, look no further. You're in incredibly good hands.
Melissa has looked after Maverick several times and I know he has the best time with her with lots of love and attention with her dog Bessie. It was easy to communicate with Melissa and she sent me updates of Maverick throughout his stays. I will be using Melissa again in the future! 🐾💕
