Dear Pet Owner,

I am Melanie, 39 years of age, originally from Germany but came to the UK 8 years ago. As I used to work as a live in Nanny, therefore I know how to respect the privacy of someone elses home. I now work in private care, supporting elderly clients in their home.

I am a very caring person and am confident to look after pets. So far I´ve looked after cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, a canary bird and a gecko. I started housesitting in 2017 when I took some time off work to write books. I since have published 2 books but am still doing the cat sitting on and off, because I love it so much. I have gained great friends this way (human and cats).

I am a quiet person in my and other peoples homes. I like to cook, read and watch documentaries. 

I have come across many cats who were shy or cautious due to experiences in their past and I am happy to give them space until they are ready to come to me. They have however (up until now) always come to me quite quickly and made friends.

I am looking forward to meet you and your pet!

Melanie
