Pet care experience
🐾 Never Left Alone 🐾
I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have a friendly 6 year old Cockapoo who is a much loved member of our family. Growing up, I cared for my Irish Setter, Yorkshire Terrier, Dalmatian and German Shepherds, giving me experience with a range of breeds, sizes and personalities. I understand that every dog is different and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I offer a home for dogs who don’t like being left alone. My own Cockapoo has severe separation anxiety, so I completely understand how stressful it can be to find someone who truly understands their needs. Because of this, we made the decision years ago that he is never left alone. Not even for a quick trip to the shops or to pop out for a few minutes. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with free access to our home, plenty of love and attention, and constant companionship. If your dog struggles with separation anxiety, you can relax knowing they will never be left on their own while in my care.

Ratings and reviews
Dropped lucca off first thing this morning to Mellissa and her lovely family including her lovely dog Lando. Received regular updates from Mellissa throughout the day to give me peace of mind. No need to worry as Lucca looked relaxed and very happy. Very welcoming sitter and home from home for your fur babies. Would highly recommend and can reassure you that your dog’s are in very good hands! Thank you Melissa and your lovely family.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Leo than Melissa! 🩵 From the moment I left him, I felt completely reassured that he was in the best hands. Melissa sent me regular, thoughtful updates, photos and videos throughout his stay, and it was so lovely being able to see how happy and settled he was. She took such amazing care of him, plenty of lovely walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and attention, and she clearly treated him like one of her own. It was obvious from every update how comfortable Leo was with Melissa and her family, and seeing him playing and bonding with them absolutely melted my heart. Melissa also went above and beyond by collecting Leo and bringing him home, which I appreciated so much. She is incredibly kind, caring, reliable and genuinely wonderful with dogs. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying about Leo because I knew he was being so well looked after. Leo came home happy, relaxed and very clearly having had the best little holiday of his own! 🐶🥰 I genuinely cannot recommend Melissa highly enough, and I would trust her with Leo again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for everything, Melissa, you’ve been an absolute star! ❤️

Schedule
I work full-time from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time for toilet breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles. Your dog will become part of our daily routine and receive lots of love and attention while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced, secure garden for safe outdoor time, and my home is a dog-friendly environment where pets are treated like family. I have a friendly 6 year old Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. Because he has separation anxiety, I understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are, so dogs in my care are never left alone. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.
