About Melissa

My name is Melissa and I would love to give you the opportunity to take a break and leave me to care of your pets. I was pet sitting in UK between June and October 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed minding a variety of pets. I looked after several cats including a diabetic boy who needed daily injections, dogs, and a hamster!

I'm of a suitable age (51), trustworthy, clean and tidy, a non-smoker. I have been a homeowner for 25 years, have project managed renovations and speedily called the right help for home emergencies such as minor flooding or electrical issues. I know the difference between a Phillips and a flathead screw, and can change a lightbulb with help from a ladder. I will treat your home as I would want someone to treat my own, and take the responsibility very seriously.

Cattery and kennels can sometimes be stressful for pets, so while you are away have peace of mind knowing your pets are looked after in their own environment by an animal loving person. I will stick to your pet's daily routine in any weather, groom, feed, and administer medication as necessary. I will be at home with them most of the time, and will water gardens, bring in mail, etc.

I have adopted and owned cats for most of my life, and love looking after dogs too. I am comfortable caring for all sorts of animals - chickens, cows, horses, birds, lizards, snakes...

We found Mellisa to be a very pleasant person to deal with, she looked after our wee dog very well, and gave her plenty of walks.

She also respected and looked after our house and we would recommend Mellisa to anybody needing pets and homes looked after while on holiday etc.
