Malik was incredibly kind and comforting to both my Koko and me. This was our first time doing boarding, and being apart wasn’t easy. Koko is only one year old. We met two days beforehand so, Koko could get familiar with him. Malik made sure he felt safe from the very beginning. He took wonderful care of my boy and kept me updated with messages and photos. Even checked in about how to soothe Koko during a thunderstorm. His communication and genuine care meant so much to me. Leaving your puppy with someone is never simple, but Malik is more than a sitter—he’s someone you can trust and I highly recommend him. Thank you!

TY for taking care of Amira. My dog is a little too energize and Malik did me the favor of agreeing to take care of her.

I don’t mind any condition that your dog is in. I will show the outmost respect and love for them. Any breed doesn’t matter either. All animals deserve love.
