About Mel

I am a huge animal lover and miss my dog who is back in England a lot, so wanting to care for others pets to fill in for him. I am very caring, reliable and flexbile.

I offer a range of services such as dog walking, daycare, but mostly I care for dogs whilst their owners go away, so mostly over weekends. 

I have plenty experience caring for my own pets as well as many of my friends pets too. I have over three years dogsitting experience for others. I make sure whilst dogsitting I plan myself around the dogs so I can stay with them at home or plan things where I can take them with me. I also get specifics from owners in regards to if they can be left and if so how long for. 

If your dog loves being social I have a great dog park near me, as well as lots of friends who have friendly dogs they can meet. I can take your dog for as many walks and as long as you like, again I always ask the owners if they have specific requirements for this.

I live in a nice area in Prahran, right next to Fawkner park and Albert Park, so there are plenty of nice spaces to walk your pet. As requested by Pawshake I have added pictures of Fawkner Park to show where I walk them and what my place looks like. We also have a small courtyard downstairs which is fenced for them to run around in.

I am new to Pawshake, but have reviews/references from dogowners on other sites I can share with you upon request. 

My partner (who lives with me) also LOVES dogs so always helps out with them too, meaning they get twice as much attention and cuddles! 

Your dogs are allowed to sleep and move anywhere in our house, however I always ask the owner what their wishes are. For example, if they're not allowed to sleep on the bed at home we also follow those rules if the owner would like.

I have experience administering oral medication and giving them tablets. I have not yet administered an injection but would consider this if the owner was happy with me to.
