Works For Wags ☺️💕

I raised my own fur kiddo for 15 years until her passing last year. I can’t bring myself to adopt again just yet, but I also have so much love inside me for furry friends, and I deeply miss having one around! I have experience with a wide age range of pets, as well as medicine administration. Given the opportunity I would love to spoil and care for your loved one(s) 🐶🐱🐰🐹🩵 (Please note that outside of existing clients, I am only able to accept pups under 30lbs at this time)

Doggy Day Care • Jun 27, 2026

Melika was great, Penny is nervous but she went right up to her so that’s always a great sign! She did great and we’re really excited to have a sitter nearby! We’ve already booked our next sitting.

Melika was great with our pup, Charlie! He had a great day with her and we have already booked again for a week long vacation. Melika was very communicative, flexible with timing and took great care of our dog!

Melika was so wonderful with our dog Vivi. It was our first time leaving her with a totally new person, and Melika was so kind and attentive with our girl, and also provided updates and photos throughout the day. Highly recommend Melika!

I left my dog, Otis with Melika for a week while I did some traveling. I’m so thankful I found her!! Otis was very well taken care of and she was so communicative with updates and photos to help me not stress out and miss my guy as much. Highly recommend and will use her for future bookings.

Melika was great for my pup Sloan! She was very communicative while watching my dog, sent sweet photos and asked for clarification on anything that was needed. My dog warmed up to her very quickly, which made it a little easier for me to leave her while away on business. Melika was very accommodating when I was delayed with my flight and made drop-off and pickup very easy for me. Definitely recommend and will rebook in the future. 💕

I Melika for my first rover dog sitting, first time using Rover services. I was a bit nervous to try it out and Malika was so communicative and helpful. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me up to date on how Otis was doing. I will be using her in the future specifically in May while I’m on vacation. Thank you so much Melika!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I keep a very clean, tidy and safe home! I usually have my phone on me and will respond to you in a timely manner. There are no children or other pets in my home. The neighborhood is beautiful to walk around for both pets and people alike!

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk to get some fresh air and exercise. After the walk, it's breakfast time! The rest of the day includes playtime with toys, cuddle sessions, and maybe a trip to the park (if you approve!). Evenings are for winding down with more cuddles and a final walk before bedtime.
