Highlights
Pet care experience
I love long walks and snuggles on the sofa 🐶
*Currently not taking on any new pooches, only those that have previously holidayed with us to ensure we can accommodate our lovely regulars* I’ve always had dogs and have two gorgeous pooches of my own (whippet & dachshund), so I truly understand the needs and personalities of different breeds. Pet First Aid completed through Paw Aid Ltd. I’m happy to board one dog at a time or two from the same household, offering them a fun and loving environment. I’m experienced in training puppies and also provide gentle care for senior dogs, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I love long walks and would be thrilled to have an extra running buddy! Dogs must be used to children.

Ratings and reviews
Mellissa and family were the perfect sitters for our little doggy. Melissa communicates very well - quick replies and great photos during the stay. They have a lovely home with a safe garden. Easy to park for drop off too. Thank you so much Melissa.. we'll be back for sure.
Fia was welcomed in as part of the family when staying at Melissa’s. She’s come home a very content pooch, and loved playing with Suki. Melissa kept us in the loop with regular photos. We will definitely book for Fia to stay with Melissa and co again soon :)
The longest we’ve ever left Joey and I’m not sure he missed us much! Mel and her family spoil him rotten and we feel totally at ease knowing he will be so well looked after. He adores her and her family and I am so glad we found her! Thanks again Mel for a brilliant stay. Joey had the best time! 🥰
another lovely stay for joey with mel and family! he absolutely loves spending time with you all. thanks so much
Once again Ellie had a wonderful stay with Melissa. It’s so reassuring to know Ellie is so well looked after.
Joey always loves his visits to Mel’s! He gets some lovely walks and loves running around with Suki. Thanks again Mel - it is so lovely knowing we can leave him and he’ll have as nice a time as us!

Schedule
I work from home so around all day, dogs will get a walk in the morning & a nice long walk at lunch. If needed evening walks can be done too. Happy to take dog boarding throughout the week and weekends.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden with plenty of space to run around. Dogs are allowed on the sofa if they like a cuddle, happy to have a crate and work with you to make a home from home for your fur baby. We have two dogs (14 years old & 9 month old) who love to meet other dogs. I will only take one dog at a time but possibly 2 from the same household.
Pets
A typical day
You fur baby will have a variety of different walks, on lead / off lead at your preference. Fields, woods, paths. Lots of play and time to relax at home.
