About Melanie
Our gorgeous dog passed away a couple of years ago and that's what got us into pet sitting. We had so much love to give to an animal but were not ready to get our own again so soon. Well, we have finally got a new fur baby and he has manners now and all his vaccinations so we're ready to welcome your fur baby's back into our home. We would love to look after your fur baby as we would our own!!

As an engineer I have an eye for detail and pride myself on taking note of your pets particular needs as well as recognising when things just don't seem right. We are experienced pet owners, having had a wide variety of animals from the more common domestic pets, cats, dogs and bunnies to the more unusual, sheep, ducks, chickens, guinea foul, mice and guinea pigs.

Our pet sitting journey is about sharing our lives and our home with your best friends and giving you the peace of mind that they will have the best care while you're away.

Our House: Secure double gated yard with security gate, sheltered verandah, grassed lawn.

What its like to stay with us: we only pet sit when not working so we are home most of the day, we like to include your pet in everything we do(if that suits them), we have two animal loving children who come to stay every second weekend (14 and 12 years), we have a farm that we visit on weekends, live close to two fenced dog parks and many other parks, we walk down to the Vic Park cafe strip often. We consider your fur baby part of our family.

Melanie was fantastic. We had a good number of photos and checkins. Melanie is a natural dog person and was able to handle Harley- who can be pretty full on. I will definitely recommend Melanie - and have added her to my shortlist of dog sitters. Thank you Melanie!

Our dog has never looked so sad saying goodbye to her new friend Mel!! We were pretty apprehensive about leaving her but couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Mel was lovely. She gave us so many updates and photos which was such a comfort. Olive looked to be having the time of her life in all the photos. We are so grateful to Mel and wouldn’t hesitate to have olive stay with her again.
