About Melinda

My name is Mel and I am a mature married lady who lives with my husband and our two beautiful cats. I have been an animal lover all of my life having grown up on acerage in Jimboomba and had an absolute menagerie of Animals! I have experience with Cats, Dogs, Mice, Rats, Birds, Snakes and larger animals including Horses, Sheep, Goats and Cows!

We would love to add another beautiful dog to our family when the time is right but for the moment pet sitting allows us to indulde in that Doggo love we are currently missing and we are able to offer a safe and loving home away from home for your family member. 

My Work/Life
Balance: 

My current employment allows me to work completely from my home office, which means your pets will be spending their days lounging in air-conditioned comfort or romping in the big grassy yard while I work. This also allows for them to get regular breaks for walks, pats and treats!

Our home:

We have a large air conditioned home with a fully fenced and secure backyard. We are a short stroll away from a large fully fenced dog park that has a separate small and large dog enclosure and a large off leash play area. 

We believe pets are part of the family and whilst your dog will have access to our big secure and shady back yard you can rest assured that we love to have them inside with us both during the day and especially at night!

I can assure you that my home offers a safe and loving vacation for your pampered pooch whilst you are away; daily, short term or long term pet sitting options available. House trained a must. 

We have a small fully fenced secure Cat play area adjoining our house as well so any feline guests will have a safe outside area to sunbath in or have some peace and quiet to chill in private.

Our Pets:

We have 2 cats, Our babies, which are the undisputed lords of the Household. Both boys are fully vaccinated and wormed and are used to living with dogs. We would prefer to have a visit in our home with your fur baby before accepting the booking to ensure a safe and happy fit for all.

Mel is fantastic and takes such great care of Sadie! Has been very flexible and easy to organise bookings. So nice to know Sadie is being well looked after and taken on plenty of adventures while away. Highly recommend.

Thanks Mel!

Melinda took cary of my Shizhu for almost a week. Communication and updates was excellent. She took care of my doggo like it was her own and i could see by the updates that he was enjoying all the cuddles and walks. Wouldnt think twice about using her service again as i felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Would 100% recommend. Thanks Melinda.
