About Mel

🩺 About Me

Hi, I’m Melissa - a veterinary nurse with over 10 years’ experience, currently working in a specialist clinic in Brisbane.

I’m confident and experienced with administering medications (including injections), managing post-surgical care, senior pets, and animals with medical needs - just let me know what your pet requires 😊

I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets when going away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your fur-baby is safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for while you’re gone.

You’ll receive daily photo updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing everything is going smoothly 🐾💜

📍Service Areas

I service suburbs between Mount Gravatt and Albany Creek (Brisbane north & Southside). Feel free to message me if you’re unsure whether you’re within my area.

💲Services & Inclusions

🏠 Home Visits (~30 minutes per visit)

Each visit includes:

• Feeding (including medication administration if required)

• Fresh water

• Litter tray cleaning / yard check

• Playtime, enrichment and cuddles

• Daily photo updates

For longer trips, I’m also happy to collect mail and bring bins in/out - just mention this at our meet & greet.

🛏️ House Sitting (overnight stay)

Includes:

• Feeding (including medications)

• Water refresh

• Litter tray cleaning / yard check

• Playtime and companionship

• Overnight stay in your home for your pet’s comfort

• Daily updates

Please note: I do work during the day, so I’m not available for 24/7 care. If your pet has specific supervision needs, let’s discuss them prior to booking to ensure I’m the right fit.

I’d love to chat and see how I can help while you’re away 🐾

Looking forward to meeting you and your fur family!
