About Mel
I am a part time worker and animal lover and can’t think of anything better to do with my spare time than open my home to pets who need to be taken care of while their owners are at work or away overnight!
I have a huge fenced backyard with a side locked gate, I am a 15 minute walk from the local dog park and I am happy for overnight stays. I am opening my calendar to day care however I am out of home until 12:30 pm so your pet would be left with my border collie for the morning.
I am a very active personal trainer and have a border collie of my own who is very social, loveable and playful.
I’ve had animals my whole life - dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and even a duck! Animals are no stranger to me and I have well over 5 years experience.
Your pet will be treated with love and care and will get plenty of playtime. I genuinely see dogs as people so they will be treated with absolute respect and care.
My working hours are 5 am - 12:30 pm so you’re pet would have the morning unattended in my yard with my dog, and would be walked once I returned home and played with throughout the afternoon and night.

Mel was fantastic with our pooches and provided regular updates. Our dogs felt comfortable very quickly at Mel’s, we would happily use Mel again!
