About Me
Cat sitter in Richmond
Hello! I'm Melek 😇 a 42 years old professional linguist freelancing from home in Richmond (TW9).
I have grown up living with and caring for pets in need (cats, dogs, bunnies, turtle all at the same time :)) which paved the way for my love against all animals. Yes, I love them all and I do prefer animals over humans anytime 🤷♀
My parents currently have 20+ rescued cats in house, my spouse and I have 2 stray cats in our home country, where they are living in a fully furnished flat we are paying the rent for, we do not have the heart to cause them any discomfort of moving, my brother visits them daily and mostly stays with them. We also recently adopted a stray cat in London, yeah that's the cheeky boy in my profile picture :) As you can see, I have a genuine love for pets, and rich experience to show for.
Thanks to being a freelancer, I am quite flexible about visiting times, the number of visits a day, things to take care of (curtains, lights, litter box, water&food, cuddles, and playing games!), and sending frequent pictures, and updates as required.
I can walk your dog 🐶, feed your turtle 🐢, play with your cat 🐈, and send fluffy pictures of your bunny 🐰.
Please contact me and don't hesitate to ask me your questions, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Love💌, Melek

RichmondMelek was fabulous. From the minute we met her, we knew she was a safe pair of hands to look after our 7 month old kitten. Connie adored her (and her partner!) and I received regular messages, updates and videos during the week we were away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

RichmondOur cat was very disappointed to see us when we returned back from holiday. Apparently, Melek spoilt her with her love and affection. She still (the third day we are back) waits for Melek at the door on her visit time.
Melek's love of animals and cats were obvious when she first visited us to meet our cat. We felt very comfortable leaving our cat at home the very first time and Melek sent a lot of pictures and videos of her visits, our cats purring noise and plays they made. We are so glad that we have met her and she has looked after one of our family member so well, we would recommend her to everyone we know who has cats at home.

RichmondMelek was fantastic as always! :) this time was a little different for us as we have one cat on cage rest after being hit by a car and Melek came twice a day and administered medication and changed his litter tray for us. She was happy to turn the radio on for him and also bird videos on the iPad. She is brilliant!

RichmondMelek was such a wonderful cat sitter! Treated our Bobbie like a real princess! She fed her and played with her, often for half an hour or longer. She also sent us lots of pictures and videos which made being apart from our beloved Bobbie that much easier. Will definitely be asking Melek to cat sit for us in the future.

RichmondMelek was a super friendly and lovely cat sitter. She took amazing care of Jonny and Ivy as if they were her own kittens. They both loved Melek a lot and enjoyed playing and cuddling with her. Melek kept us in the loop every day on the status of Jonny and Ivy with loads of pictures and videos. We totally recommend her and would use her service again the future.

.Melek is really good . I will ask her again to come anytime I will be away.
-
Dani
.Melek is superb! First time looking after the kits of hopefully many more to come! She came over to meet them last minute before we went away, was mega friendly and you could already tell how good she'd be with them. I got updates twice a day with photos and videos. Took feedback very well and was mindful and loving to the cats. You could tell how good she is because even our shy and scared cat (who doesn't even like us that much!) warmed up to her in no time :) Would recommend in a heartbeat!
-
Marie l
.The first experience with Melek was really nice. She gave me update and videos at each visit. She managed absolutely well with Priscilla our old cat who needs special care. I asked her to come again for a week and will ask her anytime she will be available.
