About Melissa
With over 5 years of professional house sitting up my sleeve, you can trust me to take care of your furry family!
**DISCOUNTS FOR REPEAT BOOKINGS**
I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, sheep and pigs. I have spent my whole life around farm animals, feeding and raising them.
I currently own two cats, they're super cheeky. I am also a regular walker for my favourite breed of dog, Labrador, and a very energetic Border Collie! I hope one day to own my own Golden Lab!
I am avaliable to dog walk, house-sit, and pet sit! I currently have the freedom to stay away from home, so I'm avaliable to look after animals.
I do work full time Mon-Fri 7-3.30pm, so ideally your pet would be fine being home during the day! I am fully flexible in weekends and public holidays.
Local dog walks around your area, or a short drive to a dog park. Whichever you prefer!
Pet sitting, popping in and feeding your animals and spending an hour with them, playing and keeping them company!
House sitting, I will stay in your home, providing that extra security, and also ensuring your animals are extra comfortable in their own surroundings. Also that added bonus of having someone around while you are away, to collect mail and various other things. I will also clean your house for you (within reason), what a win!
I am avaliable within Christchurch & the Selwyn area. Further areas in weekends can be discussed.
I can provide several references if required.
I can't wait to meet your pals!
