Animal lover looking to care for your pets
Pet care experience
Hi I’m Melissa, I’m a real animal lover and would be honoured to mind your lovely pets! I am based near Victoria Park in Widnes, live in my own house with a big fenced garden and have my own car. I love going for long dog walks everyday. I also work from home so I will be home all day with your pets! My dogsitting style is to treat them like family, ensuring they get lots of hugs and playtime. I will also send you lots of pictures throughout their stay so you can see what they are getting up to! I have had dogs since I was born so I’m very used to looking after them. I also have 2 friendly chihuahuas of my own, one 4kg male and one 1.5kg tiny female who I love dearly and treat like royalty! They love other dogs and playing with them, so your dog will have 2 furry friends should they stay over. I can only accept small breed dog bookings for boarding due to my tiny girl dog Nancy, as it’s safer for her. I am also unable to board unneutered male dogs as my dog doesnt get on with them. I like to meet all dogs before boarding so our dogs can meet first and for you to ensure I am the right person to mind your lovely pet. Both daytime dogsitting and overnight stays are welcome, as well as dog walks. Any questions let me know 😊 I work from home so you’re dogs will have company all day, with a long walk after work. I finish work at 4:30 so plenty of time for play and walks afterwards. At weekends I tend to go on a longer scenic walk (depending on your dogs walking needs). I have a big fenced garden with grass, patio doors so I can watch them. Space for a crate if required, I have a small crate if you dont want to bring your own. I listen to all dogs individual needs and cater to them accordingly.
Reviews
Melissa is an amazing sitter. We booked our dog Oti in for the day before an overnight stay in a couple of months. Melissa is amazing with Oti and obviously really loves dogs. We were sent lots of pictures and updates so felt really reassured. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!
Absolutely fantastic service from Melissa. We got lots of pictures of Pixie every day to show us how brilliant time she had. I was worry my dog will not want to go back home as she was really spoiled and looked like she has been on all inclusive holiday herself ? We will definitely come back and recommend your service to our friends, I can not imagine better care for my dog and I am so grateful for all your help. Thank you again ♥️
We left Rafiki for a day to see how she and Melissa got on, before leaving her for a week. The day seems to have been a great success.
Melissa was absolutely amazing and gave us regular updates throughout the weekend. This was the first time our puppy had stayed over and Melissa really made us feel at ease. Will definitely be booking again!

I have a fully fenced garden, I can crate your dog if required. I have a porch and do not open the front door until the porch is closed to ensure dogs dont bolt out.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet
Pics of the dog (so I can see size) Energy levels, so I can adjust walks accordingly Sleeping habits - where do they sleep? Feeding schedule/dietary requirements? If male are they neutered or if female are they in season? Do they have any triggers that makes them anxious etc
A typical day
Week days - I spend all day with the dogs due to working from home, if summer the patio doors are open and I sit at my dining table watching them wonder around/sunbathe/play. In winter supply them with lots of toys/kongs/dog tv/fluffy blankets and playtime. After work atleast a 1 hour walk around the park (if your dogs prefer shorter walk I can of course adjust the walk) On weekends a scenic walk to somewhere like Hale Lighthouse, Spike Island or Pickerings Pasture.

Availability
I work from home so I am with your pets all day! I sit at my dining table with the patio doors open so I can watch them go in and out the garden. After work I take them on a long walk, then hugs/belly rubs and naps on the sofa in the evening.
