About Melissa

Christmas Update 13/12/2022: *** Dear doggy moms and dads, I am so sorry to say that we are fully booked over the Christmas holidays !! 

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year <3 *** 

Hi I'm Melissa and I'm a huge animal lover. I am currently a mom to Chris, a little poochon! I've had him for over a year and we would love some company. I work from home a lot, so he has lots of company. We go for a walk every evening and sometimes an extra little one in the mornings when it's not raining.

The services I offer are doggy boarding, which includes : 

- full board and stay

- daily walks (at least 45 mins, usually over 1 hour) or daily playtime if it is raining. Games include tug of war, fetch the toy and find the treat. 

- I can administer simple medication if required

- daily updates - up to 3 x times a day if requested

Doggy Day-Care Hours are: 8am-5pm

Doggy Boarding Hours are: Dropoff : after 8am. Pickup by 5pm. If pickup is later than 5pm, then please book an additional day or let me know and we can discuss. 

Note that this would be an indoor boarding situation - your dog would be living in the house and not have free access to the outdoors, but will be taken out for walks daily and also for frequent toilet breaks along with Chris (around 4-5 toilet breaks a day). There are fresh water dispensers around the house - in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in the office so there is always access to fresh water. There are two other adults in the home who are both dog lovers, but will not have any hand in taking care of the dogs. There are no children and no other pets apart from Chris. 

I would love to take care of another little fur baby as I know how difficult it can be to find an alternative home when I travel. To give my best care and for the best home situation, would only want one at a time and I will only take small dogs that under 8kg. As I work from home, your little dog will be hanging out with Chris and myself during the day in my large office space and I very rarely go out so I can watch your dog most of the day.

If your little fur baby came to live with me, he would be treated just like my own little dog, and will be living together with him. He would sleep with me in my room, on his own doggy bed (you can bring his or I have extra beds) and go for regular walks either around our neighborhood or at the doggy park. We love going to Days Park but will definitely not be letting your dog off leash, as safety always comes first.

I can follow all instructions to a tee regarding feeding, medication and care. Treats will be given out exactly as per your instruction and he will only be fed as much as you dictate as well. I live five minutes away from 3 vet centres and will definitely report any issues back to you.

We hope to get to meet some new (doggy) friends through this for sure :) The experience I aim to provide is akin to your wee one going to a friends' house for a fun sleepover!

Thanks!

Always grateful to Melissa for looking after my baby. She continuously sends pictures and videos which is so nice of her. Xak loves her and Chris.
