I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who loves spending time with animals of all kinds. I currently have one cat at home, and pet sitting is how I get my much-needed “dog fix” while giving your pets the attention they deserve. I’m patient, trustworthy, and committed to making sure every furry friend feels safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away.

We prefer our pets (including guest pets) to sleep inside, however we do have an undercover verandah for non-toilet trained dogs.

About This Listing

Living in a suburb area with a medium sized backyard and park right behind our property. We let pets sleep inside, as our cat is secured in her own bedroom. During the day, dogs will be inside/outside the house (with covered verandah), depending on if they are cat friendly, either way- we supervise all pet guests around our cat, to minimise any accidents.

Mel came to the rescue when we were in need of a last minute Dog/House sitter. Easy communication, perfect meet and greet and her overall service went above and beyond what was expected. Lilo & Stitch have met many sitters over the years but I have never come home to see them more relaxed than I did after their week with Mel. Our home was immaculate also. What a relief it is to have someone so trustworthy and reliable to look after our two babies going forward :)

Cooper really enjoyed his stay, so much I didn’t think he’d want to leave! Mel and her family are really easy going people and do a really good job! Everything was made easy and Mel was flexible with her times which was great Would highly recommend and will use again

Melissa and her family took amazing care of Cooper, we couldn’t recommend them high enough. We felt super comfortable they were taking good care of him (sent ya regular updates of what he was up to) so we were able to relax on our holiday. We are so grateful to have met them. We look forward to and hope to keep in touch with them for when we go on our next holiday! Thank you so much Melissa and to your family too! Much appreciated :)

Mel was there with me when we picked up my puppy, Baloo. Although I knew about her affinity for animals, it was the first time I got to see it in action. Never have I seen someone so invested in the well being of dogs. She's my go to sitter any time I need someone to look in on Baloo and I can't think of a single person I would rather trust him with. She's very in tune with his needs and has been available any time I've needed her help.

Melissa has looked after my two pet cat's, ferret and bird on a number of occasions and has always done a fantastic job. Melissa has a strong passion and love for animals which is demonstrated in the way she has looked after my pet's in the past. I would never choose anyone else to look after my pets because she is always reliable, trustworthy and my pets absolutely adore her. always reliable and available
