Let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviours, routines or words that you would like them to continue with / respond to. I’m happy to be flexible around what works best for you and your dog!

A typical day

Being so close to Clapham Common I can give lovely long walks -- but equally happy to do shorter routes depending on your dog's needs. They can explore new surroundings, be exposed to stimulating smells and get to make new friends along the way! Evenings can be more chilled out on the sofa.

Dog Loving Family in Balmy Balham!

Pet care experience

Over the last 5 years I have welcomed dogs at home for stays of a day or as long as a week, and grew up with Hunny the golden retriever. I've looked after cavapoos, cockapoos, dachsunds, French bulldogs, labradors, pointers, spaniels, terriers and whippets, and very happy to welcome yours too! Clapham Common is moments away for longer walks, with a secure garden at home for fresh air. My teenage daughter also loves spending time with dogs and regularly stays with grandparents who have golden retrievers. We love playing games with our furry visitors, and including them in our family life! NB If you are new to Rover, you may be able to use my Rover promo code (see below) which will give you £15 off your first booking. https://www.rover.com/sit/melisp76852 Your Promo Code: MELISP76852

Melissa could not be more welcoming to me and kind to Pickle. She is a much-needed support and I appreciate her time. Thank you.
