About Melissa
My name is Melissa and I’ve moved to Sydney in 2017. I’m originally from the Netherlands, where I grew up with pets from when I was a baby.

I am comfortable with any breed, age or size of dog and have extensive experience raising and looking after dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, turtles, ducks.

I have been looking after other people’s pets since 2015. Since I lost my job during COVID, my calendar opened up to more regular dog walking and pet sitting opportunities.

I specialise in 1 on 1 walking, and am also happy to take them for a jog or go to the dog park / doggie beach for a run and play if your pup needs a bit more exercise or if you're keen to socialise them.

Whether you’re looking for care on a regular basis or just casually whenever you’re in the office until late or have an event on, please touch base as I’d love to help you keep your fur baby happy and entertained whenever you’re unable to!

As you obviously love your furry friend(s) to bits, I’m looking forward to meeting you all to hear how I can help your family out with any pet sitting services. I own a big car and am available to help out if your dog needs to go for a groom or take them to a vet appointment whilst you’re at work.

Last minute welcome too if my calendar allows!

Oh, and be ready for some candid shots whist they are in my care (if you’re not too keen to be spammed with pics of your pets please let me know on before hand haha!)

Feel free to shoot me a message to check availability or just to make acquaintance.

Speak soon!

This is the second time Melissa has looked after our cat Patrick whilst we’ve been away and once again she did an amazing job. She sent us regular updates so we had total peace of mind throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!
