About Me

Cat sitter and trainer

I adore cats and currently own three. One elderly diabetic tabby girl, who is on twice daily insulin one middle-aged ginger fluffball boy and a young feisty white minimally tabby marked boy. After a career in medical research, I now work predominantly as a cat sitter and cat trainer, I provide exemplary care for your cats, dogs and other four legged friends. My hobby is animal training and behaviour science and I am an experienced positive reinforcement trainer.

Fully insured, disclosure checked and qualified in cat first aid, as well as cat behaviour, specialising in cat stress and anxiety. Experienced in administering medication, including insulin injections. I own an elderly diabetic cat and have experience in caring for ageing cats. I ensure playtime is tailored to each cat, from quiet cuddles to chasing bird and mice toys. I am experienced in positive reinforcement training and have clicker trained my young cat to high five and sit :) Looking forward to meeting your feline friends.

    Mel was absolutely incredible! She brought tons of toys everyday to the cats and played with them so much! They were living their best life and it made my trip so much more relaxed! Mel sent tons of pictures and videos during each visit and it was so heart melting to the see the cats so happy!

    I would highly recommend Mel!

    Melissa was wonderful, lots of photos of our boys while we were away and understood our complex cat situation well. Great communication and happy cats on our return 😊

    Mel was fantastic, and our cat loved her. Every day we got lots of photos and videos of him playing with Mel's toys that she brought with her. I'd recommend Mel to anyone!

    Melissa has been an amazing cat sitter. She made me feel very confident my cat was safe and happy. Melissa played with her lots and took care of her wellbeing all the time. I am very grateful of all her help and how well she took care of the cat. She was very lovely and seem very experienced.

    Mel was absolutely fantastic! Nausy has to take tablets daily and can be fussy with it but Mel managed her brilliantly! Nausy received a lot of fuss and play time whilst we were away as well and we got updates on how she was with every visit. We have one very happy cat and we've loved having Mel come in and look after her for us.
