About Me

Millie & Mel pet services

Hello! I adore cats and was lucky enough to be the human of a gorgeous old rescue cat called Millie for 2 years. Now she's gone I would love to spend time with cats again.

I will treat your home with respect and shower your furry friend with love.

I'm happy to send photos or videos showing how your kitty is doing, giving you peace of mind to enjoy your time away

I provide drop ins, overnight stays or a combination of both to best suit your cats needs

Administering medication in tablet or powder form

Play time. I don't put a time limit on my visits. I like to take the time to get to know your pet and earn their trust. This may mean lying on the floor calmly waiting for them to approach, or engaging them with their favourite toy. Every cat is different and requires a different approach

Litter tray scooping or full clean outs. Again every cat is different so this can be customised to their needs

    We always know our wee Holly will be well cared for and spoiled when Mel looks after her. Mel works so hard to understand our cat's needs, which is no easy task considering Holly can be a bit difficult at times. Thank you Mel for your patience :) x

    We had a great experience with Mel taking care of our wee Savvy who is very playful and cheeky. She looks after her and play with her while we are away. Mel keeps on updating us with photos which are lovely. We are satisfied and happy. We will probably book her again on our next out of town trip.

    To say that our two cats are a handful is an understatement, but Melanie looked after them as if they were her own! She spent quality time playing and getting to know them both, & sent us updates & photos every day - very reassuring while we were abroad. Highly recommended!

    Couldn't ask for more from Mel. She is reliable, friendly, makes sure our boy is fed, cuddled and happy and the house is always left immaculate when she's been in. 10/10 would recommend her!

    Melanie looked after Mya for three days and did an excellent job. I could tell straight away she was a cat person and Mya felt the same way. She sent me a message every day and even cleaned up when Mya had a couple of accidents.

    Melanie has been renamed as the cat whisperer, gaining the trust of my two very shy and nervous cats. I was totally reassured that they got the best care when I was away and thoroughly recommend her for her patience and perseverance.

    Melanie was absolutely brilliant. I knew our kittens were in good hands! We met prior to the weekend so that I could get to know her, and eventually we were able to get her to have a first meeting with the cats. Throughout the weekend we were away, we were delighted to receive messages, photos and videos of our little fur babies! It was lovely to know they were being taken good care of. Not only did Melanie feed them, but she was clearly giving them affection too (as if our boy Luka would let her get away without a tummy rub anyway!). We will not hesitate to recommend Melanie and will continue to have her as our cat sitter. She is a lovely person and we are so glad to have left our fur babies in such capable hands. Thank you, Melanie!

    Mel is fantastic! Always does a brilliant job looking after my two Ragdolls when I am away. Kitties are always happy and the house is always immaculate when I get home. I don’t know what I’d do without her! So glad to have found her as both a cat sitter and also a friend! 👍
