Highlights
Pet care experience
Full time dog walker/sitter
Hi! I’m a full-time dog walker, sitter, and daycare provider with professional experience caring for dogs. Previously, I walked two dogs — a rescue mixed breed and a French Bulldog — for two years. In my personal experience, I rescued a Siberian Husky from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and cared for him until he was 14. When I first got him, he lacked confidence around people and would shy away, but with patience and gradual socialization, he became confident and comfortable interacting with others. I am calm, patient, and attentive — qualities that are especially important when caring for nervous or reactive dogs. I have a strong passion for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am looking for clients who need regular dog walks during the week (5 days a week) and I am happy to offer group walks as well. When dogs are in my care at my home, I have a fenced garden for safety, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, play, and attention.

Ratings and reviews
Good dog sitter, provided video and photo updates
I wasn't there to drop or pick up Simone so I didn't get the chance to meet Melody, my husband did. All in all, I would book her services again, my dog seemed happy and had friends to play with. She communicated daily and responded on short notice when I was looking for a dog sitter. Also communication was flawless.
Melody is truly amazing. She took such loving care of Winnie, even bringing her to the park and giving her the confidence to run off‑lead with other dogs — something that really helped us progress her training. She treated Winnie like she was part of her family and was incredibly helpful with pick‑ups and drop‑offs. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.
Melody is a wonderful dog walker who we recommend highly. She responds immediately to texts. She sent photos to us of our dog Jamie who returned home well exercised and happy. We would definitely choose Melody to walk Jamie again.
Melody accepted our last minute booking and even squeezed in time to do a pre-meet the day before to ensure our dog Sven had met her before he boarded at her place. Really quick and easy communication and you can tell she loves dogs and takes great care of them. Lots of nice photos and updates and during the handover, our dog was looking back at her fondly. Would be happy to use her services again!
Winston had a great stay with Melody. He was with her for a week and throughout the stay I received tons of videos and pictures, which helped me feel like he was in good hands. Would recommend :)

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
when I care for pets at my house I have a fenced garden which keeps them safe and prevents any dog escape artists from running and I get their energy out through playing with toys and giving them attention
A typical day
when taking dogs on walks I like to take them to Battersea Park and just chase after them with the ball and in general having a fun time running around with them.
