About Melanie

Hi there! I am a passionate and experienced animal lover and I would love to help you with your pets :)

I have owned numerous large breed dogs from Dobermans to German Shepherds, and I have the confidence around all dogs. I promise to provide a professional, friendly and, enjoyable experience for your pets :)

I one day hope to open my own dog day care center that can cater to all dogs, and create an environment that is open and safe for all personalities and breeds.

I am very flexible with whatever your needs are and I do have experience with medication if this is something that needs to be done whilst I am looking after them.

I currently own a 2 year old huntaway/lab named Kairo, and he is also wonderful with other dogs and loves to play. I recently added my new baby Luna to the family and she is a 9 month old ridgeback cross puppy. If you are after more socializing for your dog, or just want exposure for your new puppy, I am also happy to bring Kairo & Luna along or meet up at a local park for a run around.

Flick me a message if you would like to chat or even if you would like to have a meet up for a dog date! Feel free to have a look through my reviews! I look forward to meeting you and your much loved pets 😊

Doggy Day Care

Melanie was great. My puppy just had an operation so I couldn’t take him into a doggy daycare. She administered my puppy’s medicine twice for him while in her care. Will definitely book her next time I need a dog sitter for the day or for the night.

Could not have been happier with Mel looking after Bronson- he's a 65kg mastiff so not everyone would be keen. All communication was great, house was very tidy when we got home and we wouldn't hesitate to ask her back.
