About Melanie

43 years old Speaks English
Having now given up my job at a college in London, I am looking to follow my passion in caring for animals. I'm in the process of setting up my own pet sitting/dog walking business. I have grown up with dogs including a Labrador, Cairn terrier and an Alsatian as well as cats. This included their basic care such as walks, feeding and of course cuddles! I have looked after friends and families pets (dogs, cats and fish) whilst they've been on holiday. I'm happy to do whatever is necessary in terms of walks, cleaning litter trays, watering plants and collecting post. I don't own a dog at present due to my previous working hours, but I have a very naughty cat and look to get a dog soon. Although I know the basic commands (sit, heel and stay) I am currently taking a Level 2 Dog Walking certificate to give me additional insight in to the way a dogs mind works. I absolutely adore animals and I love playing fetch as much as I love watching cats chase laser pens. My favourite thing is by far cuddles though! I'm reliable and trustworthy and would always take the best possible care of your beloved family member. Thanks for viewing my profile.

Me and my two young male cats were very lucky to find Mel, and be her first 'official' clients. Mel's passion for looking after, and being extremely welcoming and comfortable around new animals, was clear from the minute she arrived. It was my first trip away from them too, and she made sure she kept in touch with updates etc. She also took in her stride that both had had recent surgery, and also watered my large garden on her two visits a day. On my return she left a lovely message and was right, her visits had brought my little ones confidence out no end, and she even bought him his own laser pen. A lovely cat sitting relationship has hopefully begun and I feel very confident in using Mel again... And the kitties can't wait... They loved her and her them:) Highly recommended:))) Thank you very much Mel... From Kathy, Purrrfect and Valentine xxx
