Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet is My Mission
I do pet care in order to, as my family like to humorously refer to it, get my 'Pet Fix'. I have done rescue pets and, upon the return of the owner, have had owners comment regarding how comfortable and happy their pet is around me, even more than they expected.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
While I am unable to take any pets into my home (I cannot provide Boarding), I always let any I meet make the final approach. I find that, especially for rescue animals, letting them determine how they approach me ensures that they are comfortable. I do ask to meet with owners for a consultation before the first time I care for a new animal, to ensure we go over details with owners as well as to ensure they (both owner and pets) are comfortable with me.
Ratings and reviews
Malek is great with dogs and takes good care of them. Our one dog can be difficult when meeting new people. Malek’s calm, wait for her to be ready approach, was perfect; they bonded well during his stay. Malek asked for a detailed list of what was needed while he stayed with them, and I provided that well in advance, after an initial introduction meeting. He confirmed that he didn’t have any questions about the list. He did make us aware that he has regular mid-day obligations and leaves for work in the early afternoon and returns late (9-10pm) – something to be aware of. As a house guest, there is room for improvement. Both the kitchen and bathroom sinks were left a total mess. The trash wasn’t taken out and had begun to mold and smell. The daily mail and paper deliveries were not brought in consistently. There was a lot of dog poop left laying in the yard. In the Spring the dogs shed their winter coat, so brushing was needed (brush location was included in the list), but not done. All of these items were included in the list that was provided as requested. Malek did stay on for coverage due to unexpected development, and that was very much appreciated. He did periodically send and respond to messages while we were gone. 5 stars for interaction with the dogs; 3 stars for house guest


Malek is a great friend to our dogs and takes great care of our home. We are always glad to have him watch the pups.

Malek is terrific. Our dogs are delighted to see him. He was attentive to all our requests and flexible with the details of our trip.

Malek took wonderful care of our 2 goldendoodles while staying at our house for the weekend. Malek followed all instructions and keep the dogs happy, safe and took great care of our house.


Malek took care of our cat and contacted us promptly with any questions or issues. We would use him again.
Malek is absolutely fantastic! He is thorough, detailed, reliable, and Barkley absolutely loves his time with Malek.
