About Melissa
I am an animal lover and love caring for dogs of small/medium sizes.

From early 2024, I'll be back to full-time work, but I would love to help host and sit your beloved pets over the weekends. I'll be working from home some days, and those days change week to week. I have two cavoodles (Roxie and Murembo) under two years old. Both have a playful and social temperament but will give other dogs space if they need it. True to their breed, they love company, and we have lots of toys, treats and a nearby dog park that we go to for some playtime. We love adventures, so a trip to the beach, long walk or a cafe for a puppiccino & meatballs is not uncommon!

I have a small veranda, so the dogs can come and go as they please throughout the day. I'm happy to help with medication if required and basic command training.

For your peace of mind, I'm happy to send 1-2 updates/pics a day just so that you are kept up to date about what your fur-baby has been up to during his/her stay. We might go on adventures (e.g.: cafe or beach), so please let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions, allergies, or have-to-dos!

Desexed, vaccinated, and house-trained pets are preferred. Let's organise a meet and greet prior just to make sure that your fur-baby will get along with us. (We haven't had any issues, so I'm confident there's a rare chance things won't work out. :)) Repeat customers are always welcome back too!
