About Me

Mel cares for your pets

Hi there!

I've always been a cat lover. I remember when I was a kid, between 7 and 11 years old, I used to look for stray cats in my street to feed them, and always convince my friends doing the same.

I had my first kitten at 11 years old, He's name was Pisi. At the same time, I had a doggo too and they would play fight a lot! Pisi was the sweetest but also very cheeky! He passed away at the age of almost 19 years and lived a beautiful long life!

I've started doing some cat-sitting for friends and loved it, decided to join Cat In A Flat in 2018, so far it has been amazing to connect with the owners and meeting their beloved cats. I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions but also try to understand the cat's personality to create a good bond. I can adapt easily to any type of pets personalities.

I have experience pet-sitting tortoises, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and I'm also a dog-sitter and dog-walker.

I have knowledge and experience in giving injections if your cat has some medical conditions, like diabetes. I have knowledge of feline CPR.

If needed I'll be more than happy to water your plants as well!

A bit more about me: I'm currently training in land based work and I love nature, animals and swimming in the sea. Passionate about sustainability and the environment.

I hope to hear from you soon and meet your lovely furry (or furless) friend! :)

    What can I say? Mel was great! She sent me photo's & video twice a day and kept me up to date with how KiKat was doing while I was away... can't fault her. KitKat's routine is a little fussy to say the least & Mel took it all in her stride, The Little Empress was looked after like royalty .... Thanks Mel

    Mel was fantastic and gave use great peace of mind. She made our cats (even our skittish and shy little boy) feel so welcome that she sent a photo of him sleeping on her lap while getting scritches. We will absolutely contact Mel for any future pet-sitting needs.

    Mel was a star! They visited Genie over the Christmas period and I got photos and video every time. They asked lots of good questions during our initial meeting and was very flexible with timings.

    Mel was absolutely brilliant, looking after our cat, called Cat. Cat is an older gentleman with deteriorating health and we felt completely confident leaving him in Mel's care. She administered various medications, including injections, with no trouble. Really grateful for Mel's care, which went above and beyond. Thank you, Mel!

    Mel was great, she was very attentive to my 2 who can be a bit fussy. Received loads of pictures and updates whilst away which was very reassuring. Will definitely be asking Mel to come back!

    Mel was an amazing cat sitter and my cat adored her! She stayed at ours for a week and gave our cat so much love and attention, my cat can be a little shy but seemed immediately comfortable and relaxed and Mel sent so many beautiful pics and videos. I didn’t have to worry once about anything because communication was so good. My cat was happy and confident when we got back and the flat was spotless. Would book Mel again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!

    Mel is reliable, communicative and brilliant with our 2 cats. Mel handled our diabetic cat with no problem, administering insulin and overseeing feeding time. We came home to 2 happy moggies and will be booking Mel again without hesitation. Thank you!
