About Melanie
Hi, I'm Mel, and I am a 34 year old Kiwi gal living in Annandale. I am a passionate about animals, but I also work as a graphic designer, photographer and cake decorator.
I have two large dogs, Tinka and Mila, who are both incredibly friendly and love meeting new friends. We would love to at least have another dog as I need more fur babies to love, but unfortunately our property doesn't suit too many more animals, so here I am!
I am a runner and love my fitness, and love every opportunity to be outside in the fresh air, rain or shine. I love to spend weekends exploring what this beautiful city has to offer. Having the opportunity to walk other people's fur babies gives me another excuse to get out into the fresh air, as well as to keep up my fitness.
I grew up alongside dogs and cats, as well as having to look after family and friend's animals from time to time ranging from Bichon Maltese to Border Collie, to Sayomed, to Great Dane. I have housesat for both cats and dogs. I do not currently offer a house sitting service, but can be open to this depending on your location.
I am comfortable cleaning up after, giving meds where required and feeding your pets. I also love to play, and teach loads of fun tricks. I limit a group walk to four dogs at any one time, for those of you that may have more than one fur baby.
About my services:
- Only available before 7am and after 6pm Monday- Friday from 16/01/25. I am available Saturday and Sunday mornings until 11am.
- Dog walking can be between 30-45 minutes, always respecting their limits and needs of your fur baby. If you would prefer a longer walk, we can discuss this together.
- House visits are limited to 30 minutes, unless the owner and I can come to another agreement. I am able to provide an additional visit per day if required.
I am happy to meet with you and your pet(s) first to see if we are a good fit.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
