My name is Mel and I started petsitting in 2013 alongside my part-time professional role in fundraising and events. I'm required to have a current Police check and Working with Children check for my work and I'm happy to share them with you.

I've previously operated independently for many years, through Word of Mouth and Instagram.

INSTA: @MelTheMinder 

After a break, I've registered with Pawshake in late 2024.

I've grown up with large dogs and special needs cats in the household and I currently have one special needs cat. My house isn't suitable for a dog to stay over yet, but I'm working on it.

I am available on weekdays and weekends and am able to be relatively flexible, in terms of time of day.

Please get in touch with any questions about my services or experience, or to arrange a meet and greet.
