About Melissa

Hi there, my name is Melissa.

I'm calm, reliable, and trustworthy. I love the company of animals and am happy to meet the individual needs of your pet. I'm comfortable administering medication and following care schedules so you can feel confident your pet is getting care, love, and attention. As a former dog owner I know how much this can impact your time away. 

I've had cats and dogs growing up and have been dogsitting for family for periods of up to 4 weeks. 

I have had two greyhounds over the past 8 years. They've both passed away recently and I'm looking to do some dog sitting before we one day adopt another greyhound. I have lots of experience with greyhound quirks and personalities, with one of mine being an anxious wee boy. 

My partner of 20 years, Marc, can join me for stays, but if you prefer only one sitter or your pet is anxious around males I'm more than happy to sit by myself. Marc and I are both professionals in our late thirties. I have the flexibility to work from home at least half of the week to keep your pet company.
