Young Canadian pastry chef taking a year to enjoy the wonders of Australia on a working holiday visa. Have recently solo traveled in Japan and Taiwan. I have a very strong love towards animals, nature and exploring the unbeaten paths. Raised by a professional housekeeper, I am a very organized and tidy individual with immense respect towards others home and animals.
Why I want to house sit
I love traveling but have to unfourtantly leave my large loveable Maine coon cat behind with family. Having the ability to house sit, care and show love towards someone else’s animals will help me overcome the homesick feelings of missing my own lion. House sitting will also allow me to explore and experience different areas and communities that guidebooks would normally miss or lookover.
My experience
I have been the general care taker and cleaner of my grandparents home for the last 8 years. I currently have a loveable maine coon cat back home who requires a special diet and twice daily medication, I am well experienced with administering pets medication (pills, liquid, etc) Always relied upon for dog sits for friends, neighbours and sister in law when away.

Melanie house sat and looked after our pets for us while we were away (2 dogs, 1 cat). She was prompt with her emails before the sit. She arrived on time so we could exchange keys and leave on time to make our flight. We came home to 3 very relaxed pets who obviously enjoyed having Melanie for company. All instructions regarding feeding/clean up where followed. The house was lovely and tidy, and to top it off Melanie had washed, dried and re-made the bed, folded the towels and had baked a lovely banana bread for us to enjoy. We would welcome Melanie back to sit again and have no hesitation recommding her to house sit for anyone

Mel has house and pet sat for me on multiple occasions. I've found her to be attentive, kind, and caring towards my pets consistently. She is also very attentive to details and follows complex care instructions. I would readily recommend her services!
