About Mel

Looking for mostly pet sitting roles.
I am a social worker with flexible working arrangements. When sitting I would likely be joined by my partner Ash, a wheelchair tech, who loves all creatures great and small. I am able to ensure your pet keeps to their routine, feels safe and loved, and your home is well cared for. I have some wfh days or part days, these vary depending on client's needs but generally we make a plan each evening for the next day so your pet never misses out. Our preference would be to work with pets who are able to be left alone for the duration of the workday to ensure they are never caused any anxiety. Usually, we would not both be out for more than 6 hours. 
We have experience with cats and dogs and very quickly adapt to their personalities and needs. 
Both of us are studying online so generally spend evenings on the couch with a laptop each and lots of breaks to give love and attention to furry friends.
I also love a long walk at any time of the day or night, preferably at night, so pets will never miss out on their exercise. I have experien e handling small and larger dogs on and off lead. 
We are happy to give medication as needed and are both cool in a crisis, so will handle any emergencies quickly and effectively. 
We do at times have days where we are both required to be at the office so if your pet needs someone home at all times, we may not be the best fit, but otherwise we are excited to hear from you and to see all your lovely fur babies.
