Melissa

Hello! I'm a dedicated and experienced house and pet sitter with over 5 years of experience caring for homes, horses, dogs, cats and rabbits. I'm passionate about providing top-quality care, whether for animals or simply keeping your home safe and well-maintained while you’re away. I’m thrilled to join this site to connect with even more people looking for reliable, professional house and pet-sitting services.

As a dog lover and proud owner of two beautiful labradors myself, I truly understand the importance of leaving pets in a familiar, loving environment. My journey into house sitting began when I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving my own dogs in kennels when going away as a family, so I decided to create the kind of service I’d want for them – one that’s caring, flexible, and truly tailored to each pet’s needs with plenty of love and cuddles!

To make sure I’m a great fit, I always like to meet you and your pets before the sit, learning about their routines and any favourite local walks to keep them feeling right at home. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing your pets are happy and comfortable.

I take great pride in being a reliable pet caregiver, with a keen attention to detail. Each visit is tailored to meet the specific needs of your pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care. Your furry friend will be treated as one of my own during my stay. I’m also happy to provide daily updates and photos upon request, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time away.

I have a full clean driving licence and happy to travel!

I still live at with my parents and work from home, which gives me the flexibility to take on house sits without schedule conflicts, and I come with multiple glowing references from families I’ve worked with over the years. If you have any questions or would like to chat, feel free to reach out – I’d love to hear from you!

My schedule is quickly filling up with regular clients for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, so don’t hesitate to reach out to secure your booking for 2024/2025.

Rates vary based on location and duration of stay, and I’m happy to discuss them during our appointment!
