Pet care experience

I am an avid dog and animal lover who would love to spend some time with your pet(s)! I have been a dog owner before and have a lot of experience with different breeds. I started sitting for non-family clients at a very young age in my hometown of Sicklerville, NJ. I want to create a wonderful client base that I consider my extended furry family that I am always looking to expand. I have experience with many types of dogs, ranging from chihuahua to mastiffs. I just love spending time playing with any pup! In addition to my love of animals, I am compassionate, reliable, and trustworthy. My pet sitting style: I think it is very important to cater to each animal and their comfort level. If your pet is shy or anxious, that is okay! I want them to take their time to warm up to me and will do everything I can to make them feel safe and loved. If your pet has some anxieties or phobias, whether it is a dislike of skateboards, food or dog aggression, resource guarding, or being terrified of thunderstorms. I am willing to go above and beyond to make sure their needs are met. Many dogs are upset when their owners leave- this is normal. To make them feel better, I often take my clients on long walks to distract them from being in the house without their people. They get lots of love and snuggles in the first 24 hours, and every day after that! If I am dropping by for a visit, you can expect me to adhere to the schedule that you keep for your pup. I maintain the rules of the house, and am happy to pick up the mail or water plants as needed.

Malik was a great fit to watch my (large) dogs at my house. He is very kind and personable, and sent daily updates with pictures of my pups. I definitely plan to book with him again in the future.

A huge thank you to Malik for taking such great care of Chanel my pit/chocolate lab! Malik was a real professional in the way he took care of my beloved Chanel (who can get a little wild when excited), but even more importantly, I could really feel he cares about Chanel. They had an amazing time together: taking walks, playing together and cuddling. Malik is an amazing person and very responsible. I would be so glad for the opportunity to have Chanel be looked after by Malik again in the near future. If you also have this opportunity, don't miss out; It will be a great experience for your dog, and a peace of mind for you.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I would like to bring my maltipoo Hazel along with me while I work however if your pet(s) isn't fond of others I don't mind giving that one on one time.
