Hi, my name is Mélody, I'm French and I moved to the Netherlands two years ago.
I am not a student anymore, I quited my job in France to follow my husband here. As I don't work here, I have plenty of time to tare care of your pets! :)
I loves animals specially dogs and cats, (that's why I'm volunteering in an animal shelter 2 mornings per week) but also every furry pets.
I've always had cats around me since my childhood.
My beloved cat died from sickness this year when he was 11 years old. I considered him like my baby and I did everything to make him happy every day.
I helped shelter to find an adoptive family for cats and dogs when I lived in Gorgia and South Korea, and I spent time walking dogs.
Three years ago, I took care of street cats in Portugal by feeding them, giving them affection, have them neutered and getting some of them adopted :)
We have now adopted two cats from the animal shelter I work for, she is used to be with other cats as she was with plenty of them at the shelter, so I can take care of your cat in my house if needed!
I also can have your dog in my house but we will have to make a test before to see if my kitties accepts your dog, they can be afraid of big or too energetic dogs.
Your cat/dog could sleep in his own basket and he also could go on the couch if he's used to do it at your home.
We have a house with a little garden wich is fully fenced and our windows and gates are safe and secured. So he could go outside if he's used to, if not, he will stay inside of course!
When I do my cat-sitting visite, I stay approximately one hour with your sweety pet. If it's at your home, first I give food and change water, then I clean litter box. When the essential things are accomplished, then the fun part can start! I'm adapting according to your needs and those of your pet. I'm used to very shy cat and also to playfull cat and them who need a lot of attention. For the first one, I will do my best to make him/her confident by speaking to him and not being invasive, and I'm sure of it, you would be surprised by seing him in my kneeks (if I take care of him for enough time of course). For the second one, I will be glad to invent new play and make him/her run! For the pot of glue, I will give him/her a lot of cuddles!!!
For the dog walking, I walk between 30 minutes and one hour, it depend of the tiredness of your dog. Also I can provide 5 times a day a walk for your doggie.
I can take care of your bird (I pet-sitted a parrot in my home once, it was very funny^^), or any kind of animals, feel free to ask me!
One more thing, I can give oral medication to your pet as I did every day to my beloved cat.
I hope you will not hesitate to conctat me for your little precious! He/her will be in good hands!
Hope to speak to you soon!
Heeft in die twee weken dat we op vakantie waren erg goed voor onze kat Boris gezorgd, ze was heel lief en zorgzaam voor hem en dat merkte ik ook aan hem.👍🏼Aanrader
Mélody has been a fabulous minder and the fact that Titan was reluctant to come home with us shows how well he was cared for. Melody kept us posted with photos and videos and it was a delight to see Melody and Titan bonding. Melody and I were both concerned about how her cats and Titan (who had never been with cats) would react to each other. Apparently, things were pretty cordial between her cats and Titan. They left each other alone!
I’ll highly recommend Melody to take good care of your pet when you need to travel. I’ll certainly come back to her again.
