About Malik Raman
Cats are my specialty and the house is kept quiet for them, but I take dogs too and I am used to keeping the two apart properly rather than hoping for the best. With cats I never force interaction; with dogs I set the boundaries early. Both approaches come down to letting the animal tell me what it needs.
What I offer in Columbus is house sitting at your place and doggy day care. I look after dogs and cats alike, which helps when you have both and would rather not split them between two sitters. I stick to dogs under 15 lb, because that is what my home and my handling suit. I keep the calendar here current, and I confirm every booking in writing before the dates are held. My home is clean, secure and smoke-free, and the doors and gates are checked as a matter of habit rather than when I remember.
The first evening is deliberately quiet — settle in, short walk, early night. After that we fall into your pet's normal shape of day, which is usually all it takes for them to relax. Updates go out through the site with pictures attached, and I answer messages the same day. If something is worrying me you will know within the hour, not at pickup.
A meet-and-greet comes before every first booking, without exception. I want your vet's number, your emergency contact and a clear instruction about what you want done if I cannot reach you. If that sounds like what you are after, get in touch with your dates and anything you think I should know in advance. Most of my work now comes from owners who have booked before or from people they have sent my way, which is the part of this I am proudest of.
