Pet care experience
I rescued my dogs when they were 12 weeks old. They were the last two of their litter, and I could not justify separating them even though I knew it would be twice as difficult and time consuming to raise them. That is the level of compassion I have for my dogs. I will occasionally pet sit for my friends. One year, I had a puppy German Shorthaired Pointer in my home (for a total of 3 dogs), went to another home and played with 3 dogs (2-3 times a day), and house/dog sat for another 3 dogs. I did this for 4 days during the holidays, and I loved every second of it. Taking care of another person's family member is a task I take with seriousness. It is important that pets get the attention and care they need when owners are unavailable.
Reviews
Malika is a dedicated dog lover! She has dog-sat our two crazy dogs many weekends and I know they are well taken care of when they are under her supervision. She will love your dogs like her own!
Malika loves and is great with animals. I have two pit-bull mixes and a Rottweiler. They adore her and get very excited when she visits!
Malika is one of my best friends. She loves my dog and has puppy sat on numerous occasions when I needed to leave town. She's one of the few people I would trust with my dog and she would make a great employee. She's trustworthy, honest, timely, and caring.

Information Malika W. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preference. I love all dogs. The dog's temperament is important to know. Does the dog do well with stranger's? How does the dog handle social situations? What is the dog's favorite toy or activity? Does the dog have any allergies, and is there an emergency vet number?
A typical day
I will defer to the owner's instructions and habits. Some pets do not do well with change, and while I enjoy taking dogs to areas where they can socialize and play, I understand that not all dogs handle overstimulation in social arenas. Secluded parks where the dogs can run free, play fetch, or tug of war are all activities in which I would let the dog engage.
