Pet Nurture

Wally thoroughly enjoyed his massage with Mel, he was completely relaxed after it and napped most of the day. Mel was amazing at controlling Wally to give him his first massage and trust me he can be hard to wrangle sometimes. I would happily trust Mel to give Wally further massages especially as they are great for his health and Mel also gives advice to help me some idea of how I can help care for him.Testimonial from Wally:I loved getting my massage from Mel she made me feel nice and relaxed. I made sure to give her lots of kisses to show her how much I loved it. Mel was good with me cause it is hard to keep my attention sometimes cause I want to explore everything. I can’t wait for mummy to book me another massage!

Melina is such a wonderful cat consultant. From day 1 she showed a lot of care and attention for our at-the-time three month old kitten, Ron.Since having regular video consults, Melina have helped us understand Ron's behaviour more and recommended products that have improved our kitten's overall health. She is always available whenever I have any questions and gives prompt and individualised advice each time.Melina has taught me so much and I believe that a lot of people would benefit from the pet services Pet Nurture offer. I would not hesitate to recommend Melina to anyone - she is truly fantastic!

“Pet nurture is the most outstanding and professional pet care service that I have ever experienced.Melina is an absolute, one of a kind pet sitter. Not only is she a detailed, caring, loving, experienced and nurturing Carer, she has a deep connection and innate understanding of animals, their behaviours and the intricate nature of their all-encompassing needs.I have used many pet sitting/caring companies in the past, and none compare to the service I have experienced with Melina. She is an absolute angel and enables me to make my frequent trips away less stressful for both my fur baby and I.Its really difficult for me to leave my special girl, however my baby is always content and happy when I return home after Melina has been in her care. She treats my cat as her own and picks up on her specific needs and quirks.It is such a gift to be able to leave home knowing and trusting that Melina has all angles covered and that I will be updated with detailed updates and photos.I would highly recommend pet nurture to anyone who is considering leaving their pet in Melina’s care. She provides a five star service at all times”.

I am a new cat mum and was feeling anxious about everything! I decided to do the kitten kindy classes with Melina and I learned so so much from her. The classes are easy to follow, informative, interactive and fun! Not only that, she provided me with lots of resources that I can look into. She is very patient and answered all of the questions that I had for her. I am feeling so positive about the progress that my kitty is making! Thank you so much Melina! - Patricia and Mori -

I am so glad I have found Pet Nurture! Melina is passionate, knowledgeable and friendly. My cat Shyla’s cat clipping experience has been great and easy. Also, Melina always comes with treats and tips, so my cat Shyla loves her. I can tell she is comfortable around Melina. Highly recommended!

We have lived in 4 cities (and countries) with cats and a hectic travel schedule often need cat sitting services. Melina and Pet Nurture is the best cat sitting service we have had in our 10+ years of requiring cat sitting. You quickly realize Melina and her team truly love animals and treat your fur babies like they are their own. We are able to relax when we have to go away because we know our fur babies will be well loved and looked after. I look forward to her text updates and pics of my cats from Melina when I’m away. I highly recommend Melina and Pet Nurture to anyone looking for pet services.

Wow what an amazing course! I grew up with many kittens/cats in a house with a lot of land and didn’t think I needed Kitten Kindy – boy was I wrong. Having a kitten in an apartment is completely different, what a big shock.Melina was caring, patient and an absolute wealth of information. Having detailed handouts was a bonus if you want to absorb the information at a slower or later date which is fantastic.Highly recommend the Kitten Kindy course for every person with a cat or kitten, it’s definitely worth every cent. Not to mention it was also fun and I learnt so much despite having so many cats over the years!Thank you again Melina :)

Melina from Pet Nurture is a very special and one of a kind lady who will take the best care of your pet. Melina went above and beyond my expectations of what a pet sitter should do. Our cat, Chief was taken care of so well he probably wished I went away for longer. Chief is a very anxious cat, but he warmed up to Melina instantly and greeted her every day at our door. I received daily pictures and videos of Chief with a full summary of how is doing. I will certainly be in touch with Melina again when I need her services. It means I can travel knowing that my furry member of the family is taken very well care of.

My experience with pet nurture has been amazing. Melina is so kind, caring and a wealth of knowledge. My cat is usually very vary of strangers but was completely in love with Melina very soon after meeting her. She is like a cat whisperer, it was amazing to see her interact with such ease with my cat. Melina has helped me and my cat so much and we are both forever grateful. If I’ve ever had any questions or issues Melina is so helpful and prompt to respond. I’m so glad I got help from Melina my cat seems so much happier! I can’t recommend pet nurture enough I have felt so supported and helped in every way through this journey.

I completed the kitten kindergarten and harness training with Melina when Michu joined our family at four months of age. Pasha, the resident cat who was almost one at the time was struggling to adjust to sibling life. I thought I had enough experience when I took on a second cat but having been a dog mum most of my adult life, I was unprepared and worried about things not working out. Melina was so supportive and encouraging during this period and combined classes to include both cats. She helped me understand cat behaviours, temperaments and health needs and provided quick and easy interventions. She covered weekly topics, gave access to online resources, did live training with me and the boys and provided assistance in implementing strategies throughout the week. I learned to understand what the boys were communicating to me which reduced my own frustrations and anxieties and normalised my experience in the adjustment period. We have all found our groove in the household and the boys are well adjusted, healthy, happy, active and loving cats. No more peeing in plants, on beds or rugs, no more herding and guarding behaviours, no more competition for resources (mostly me), and best of all no more reoccurrence of flu symptoms which was the resident cats most worrisome stress response. Melina even helped prepare me for a home renovation that I thought would result in a reemergence of issues. By preparing the home, training the cats using exposure techniques and building my confidence we had a safe and problem free two weeks. The boys are now ready to revisit the harness training material and slowly develop these skills. Thank you Melina for your efforts, kindness, generosity, dedication and for your commitment to helping our family thrive.
