My name is Melissa and I’ve moved to Sydney in 2017. I’m originally from the Netherlands, where I grew up with pets from when I was a baby.
I am comfortable with any breed, age or size of dog and have extensive experience raising and looking after dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, turtles, ducks.
I have been looking after other people’s pets since 2015. Since I lost my job during COVID, my calendar opened up to more regular dog walking and pet sitting opportunities.
I specialise in 1 on 1 walking, and am also happy to take them for a jog or go to the dog park / doggie beach for a run and play if your pup needs a bit more exercise or if you're keen to socialise them. Walks are 30 minutes or 60 minutes at extra charge ($45)
Happy to drop in to refresh food and water for your cat whilst your away. Visits include cleaning the litter and a bit of cuddle and playtime if they're comfortable.
Whether you’re looking for care on a regular basis or just casually whenever you’re in the office until late or have an event on, please touch base as I’d love to help you keep your fur baby happy and entertained whenever you’re unable to!
As you obviously love your furry friend(s) to bits, I’m looking forward to meeting you all to hear how I can help your family out with any pet sitting services. I own a big car and am available to help out if your dog needs to go for a groom or take them to a vet appointment whilst you’re at work.
Last minute welcome too if my calendar allows!
Oh, and be ready for some candid shots whilst they are in my care (if you’re not too keen to be spammed with pics of your pets please let me know on before hand haha!)
Feel free to shoot me a message to check availability or just to make acquaintance.
Speak soon!

We can't thank Melissa highly enough. She was looking after Moe & Phoebe, our 2 cats, while we were on our holiday. Every day, we got a short video and couple of pics from our loved ones. We will definitely engage Melissa again, both of our cats loved her!
Melissa looked after our cat Archie for a week while we went on holiday. This was the first time we used this service for our cat and we were very satisfied and would definitely book Melissa again.
Melissa was lovely, flexible & very caring and took great care of our fur baby. Melissa sent us daily updates with photos and made us feel confident that Archie was in good hands.
Archie has a dust allergy and Melissa made sure he kept up with his medication and even hoovered the apartment to keep his allergy in check. Great customer service.
