Melissa is a very nice person and she took good care of my cats while I was away. She was also so kind as to take me and pick me up from the train station

Melissa looked after Simone’s pets & home

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved senior dog, Casper, to Meli while I was away. Meli is not just a house sitter; she is a compassionate caregiver who clearly possesses a profound love for animals, which is evident in the way she interacted with my old Casper. From the moment Meli stepped into our home, Casper was drawn to her warm and friendly demeanor. It's rare to see Casper warm up to someone so quickly, but with Meli, it was as if they had been friends for years. She went above and beyond in ensuring Casper's comfort and happiness, maintaining his daily routine, and providing him with the love and attention he's accustomed to. What impressed me the most was Meli's professionalism and attention to detail. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet and home as if they were their own, look no further than Meli. I returned to find my space just as I left it, if not neater, reflecting her conscientious approach to house sitting. Her regular updates (photos and videos) provided peace of mind, allowing me to enjoy my time away without worry. From Casper's perspective: "Meli is amazing! She understood me from the moment we met. I am quite old now and like the environment to be calm. She understood that some days I dont want to walk far, I just want to sleep. But on some days, I am able to go on big walks! And I love it when I can go on my big walks. We played, cuddled, and I always felt very loved. She made sure my days were fun and comforting. She tailored the day to suit my needs. I missed my family, but Meli made me feel at home'. Meli is more than a house sitter; she's a compassionate caregiver who sees to the emotional and physical well-being of the pets she looks after. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable, attentive, and loving house sitter.

Why I want to house sit

There are a few reasons why I enjoy housesitting. The dream is to explore as much of the world as possible before deciding where to settle down. I have no one else to take care of besides myself so it’s ideal for me. Housesitting full-time
