Availability

I am currently blessed with completely open availability! I prefer to keep my weekends light, but I understand these are typically the days many clients may need my services. I will leave the multiple pets in home aspect up to the pet owner’s discretion - I can board up to 3 dogs at once, if their temperament allows. Willing to accommodate as needed!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large (unfenced) yard in a safe, quiet, rural-residential neighborhood. We are surrounded by trees, birds and tranquility, so I like to look at it like a true getaway for your pets. While you’re on a trip, so is your fur baby!! There are dog parks in the area that I’d love take the dogs to visit, at the discretion of the owner. The only pets I have are reptiles, so there’s no need to worry about sharing spaces with unfamiliar pets in my home (unless I have another client here)

Home

Lives in a house

Non-smoking household

Dogs allowed on furniture

Information Melike S. would like to know about your pet

Dietary schedule/portions, flea treatments/medications/allergies, have they been spayed or neutered?, favorite toys/activities/treats, temperament around new people/animals (do they need to be my only client during their stay?), off-leash behavior (can I trust them not to run away if we’re playing in my unfenced yard?), home alone behavior (do they get anxious/restless?), bad habits to watch for (getting into trash, sneaky food snatchers, chewing/tearing up loose items, etc.), sleeping habits

A typical day

I’m truly a chameleon when it comes to pets! - highly adaptable to their needs. If you’ve got a high energy pup/kitty I will be sure to fit in at least a solid 30 minutes or more of playtime a day to keep your pet enriched and active. I love to take walks through local parks and trails, even taking visits to some pet-friendly cafes! Open to new ideas as well. My goal is to make your pet feel as at home as possible!

Sharing My Nature to Nurture

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m so excited to share my 15+ years of animal care experience with you and your pets (& plants)! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve finally decided to fully pursue my true passion—caring for animals of all kinds. With a degree in marine sciences and a lifelong love for the great outdoors, my journey has given me a wealth of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals from newborns to seniors, across both land and water. I’m also happy to care for any plants you may have while you're away! I genuinely love meeting new people and their pets, and I treat every animal like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your crew! Please share a picture and a quick introduction of your pet <3

Melike is hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had! When I first moved to the area, I was nervous about finding someone I could truly trust — not just with my dog, but with a piece of my life. I travel often for work, so finding someone dependable and compassionate was a must. From the very beginning, Melike put me at ease. She reached out with warmth and confidence, and even took the time to visit my home and get to know my dog beforehand. That level of care and attention meant everything to me. She’s incredibly hands-on and treats your pet (and you) the way she’d treat her own. What makes her even more amazing is her love for all animals — not just the typical furry friends, but exotic ones too. Her background in wildlife biology gives her a unique level of expertise, and it shows in the way she connects with animals on every level. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism, genuine kindness, and real-world experience the way Melike does. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!
