Pet care experience

Auntie to the Pups

I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid. It all started with walking an older neighbor's dog, Hawk. At the time, I just thought it was nice that my neighbor trusted me to walk and play with him. Looking back, I realize that arrangement was mutually beneficial and served as my introduction to dog care. Since then, I've become the go-to person for family and friends to watch their pets, especially dogs. Most recently, I had the pleasure of caring for my great furphew while my niece settled into college life. I plan to adopt a puppy or dog one day. I'm just waiting until I'm sure I'm ready for the commitment. Until then, I'm happy to be a pup aunt!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm not able to provide care in my apartment, but I'm willing to drop in at your home and play for a bit, refill food and water, or let your dog out to explore and potty. Just let me know what you need, and I'll let you know if I can help.

Melika has been great for us. Always letting us know the finer details of our dog’s digestive health, and always on time to walk them. Great communication! She is a hard worker, we appreciate her service.

Melika is doing a fantastic job with getting my big anxious husky out and about. I appreciate her so much. I wouldn’t be able to do anything without her!
