About Mel
Hi. I'm Mel, an avid lover of all creatures great and small.
I am a kind, gentle, outgoing travel addict and when I'm not somewhere fabulously exotic, I love being a homebody in my quiet, calm and happy Footscray home that I share with my two rescue cats (Taj and Khiva) and budgie Zala.
My rescue greyhound, Patch recently died (she was 15 and lived a long, healthy and happy life) - that's us in my profile pic :) I'm missing the canine vibes in my life.
I have been surrounded by animals all my life, having grown up with numerous dogs, cats, birds and rabbits as much loved family members.
Previously I have been a foster carer for cats and kittens and I am confident in administering medications including injections (for all types of animals)
I am fortunate enough to work at home full time and am available for doggie day care, walks and stays in my home. I will treat your pet as I treat my own (that is, like gods and goddesses) with plenty of attention, affection and anything else they may need.
Having two cats of my own I sadly can't welcome others in my home here but very happy to do home visits and give lots of pats and attention to yours :)
My super cute cottage is one level, fenced at the front, side and back and safe for your fur babies if they do want / need to go outside.
I look forward to chatting with you about your needs.

A couple of notes about my rates:
- Pet sitting is 24 hours and includes a morning and evening walk
- Pet Day care hours 7am - 7pm
- House visits includes 30mins of playtime, feeding and litter tray emptied
- Dog walks are up to 1hour including travel time

Mel was absolutely amazing with our Dalmation Archie, we got a photo update which we loved. It was so nice to be able to leave our dog with someone and have a nice relaxing day out knowing he was well looked after. We will use Mel again for sure and highly recommended her 👍 😀

Mel was awesome! From prior to booking, during and on pickup communication was super easy. Her house is a wonderful, safe space for a doggy & Barbie made herself completely at home. A special note - we really appreciated that Mel was happy to manage Barbie being in her first heat at the time, which meant doggy nappies, no saying hello to other dogs & no park time.
