About Melissa
- Lifelong animal lover and pet owner available to visit and care for your pets when you're away. I'm a stay-at-home mother of two school-age children so very responsible and community minded.
Also available to walk your dog while you're at work, so FIFO pet owners rejoice.
I grew up in the country (NSW) and we owned English bull terriers, Staffordshires, Kelpies and mixed-breed dogs including Rottweiler and Ridgeback mixes. The full list of pets that I have owned includes: - birds,
- rabbits,
- guinea pigs,
- dogs,
- cats and I also have some experience with chickens.
I am comfortable with both small and large breeds of dogs. I own a miniature bull terrier who my kids named Hazelnut Chocolate. She is crazy and full of energy and we love her lots.
I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I will keep your pets' litter and food bowls clean and your home tidy while you're away. Happy to send lots of pics for regular reassurance.
Time with your pets will be a priority after the feeding and cleaning is done. Lots of cuddles and pats and playing with toys will help to keep your pets happy and not pining for their owners too much.
Happy to also take bins in and out and water your pot plants. - A travel fee will be added to bookings with 2 visits per day or of some distance from Port Kennedy (eg. Baldivis).
- Travel fee amount recently increased to reflect current petrol prices.
