About

Hello Pet-Parents,
I'm 40 years old, organised, honest, respectful, reliable and a non-smoker. House sitting is fantastic for me because I love animals and travel. I look after pets and homes as if they were my own. Having grown up with animals, I enjoy their company and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities.
Since joining Happy House Sitters I've looked after over 20 homes and returned to many homes for a second sit. This brings me to having cared for over 40 dogs and cats, 3 rabbits, 1 bird and a few chickens and fish!
I try to maintain pet routines (commands, sleeping, dog walking/running, socialising at the park, grooming, etc.) as much as possible. I’m very affectionate and playful with animals. I know how important it is for them to have someone who will talk and play with them. I have administered medication, looked after elderly pets and dogs of all shapes and sizes.
I'm house-proud, clean, organised (ex-visual merchandiser), responsible and experienced at running a household efficiently. For all my homes I maintain regular house cleaning, checking/forwarding mail, keeping in touch with photos and updates, looking after plants and gardens and providing a welcoming home to return to.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information or to ask any questions. (Kindly note: Unfortunately I'm sensitive to cigarette smoke so I can only look after smoke-free homes.)
Regards,
Melanie

Mel was recently our house-sitter for six weeks. She took great care of the house and garden, and in particular, our two cats, who were both very happy and relaxed after spending the time with her. We found Mel to be a calm, responsible and considerate person. She had to deal with a couple of unexpected situations with the house, which she did with intelligence and common sense. Mel kept in touch with us, and sent up-dates and photos. We feel very fortunate to have had her as a house sitter, and we - ( and the cats ) - look forward to having Mel sit for us again in the future. Andrew and Sue

Melanie was a fantastic house sitter looking after our sick bunny when we were not there and even taking it the vets. Our house was also spotless when we arrived home. We would highly recommend Melanie
