Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and have been caring for various house pets for over 10 years. I recently graduated from UNR with a degree in Wildlife Conservation & Ecology, and believe my education and background is evident in the excellent caretaking I provide. Taking care of your pet is a passion for me, not a side job. I know what it’s like to have to leave your fur babies at home (I have an adorable & very energetic husky sharing a home with me) and I want to serve the community by giving authentic and genuine care to your pets while you are away. I am 100% dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care for your animal, allowing you the peace of mind you deserve. I am currently at home full time, and have open availability to create a set-schedule with your pet, or just drop in when needed. I am here for YOUR needs, so let me know how I can serve you best. I pride myself in living an active and healthy lifestyle. I have a husky mix puppy and she is very friendly and energetic. She loves to hike, go to Tahoe, and rock climb. I enjoy having dogs that she can play with, but she loves older or more slow-paced dogs as well. We typically go on a hike every week, or go to the dog park since she is so active and loves to play. I can cater to any type of dog, any dietary issues, and am comfortable administering medicine.

Mahala has been taking care of my animals ranging from reptiles to my dog. Her schedule allows for the time to spoil your pet and actually give the care that you and your family deserves. Reliable and great at communication - you won’t be disappointed in the quality of service.

Mahala is a wonderful caregiver and our pet had a great stay. We so appreciate her acceptance on short notice. If we are visiting Sparks again, we will not hesitate to have her take care of Rylee.

Mahala Disney is a great sitter for any & all of your fluffy animals! She watched our dog, Annie and was absolutely amazing with her! Would definitely recommend Mahala to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and fun pet sitter!

Mahala is a close friend of mine and has cared for my animals many times. She has hosted my geriatric dog in her home and followed all of his medication needs while spoiling him with love and attention. She checks on our cats and snake as well and always sends updates and photos! Mahala is VERY detailed oriented and organized and will make you feel at ease when you trust her with your home and animals!

We typically spend the day all together downstairs doing art, teaching my son & playing. My whole downstairs is dog friendly and we are typically home the majority of the day since we still do naps. ****We have chickens in a coop in the backyard**** never been an issue in the past with the dogs I have Rovered.

Information Mahala D. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but friendly dogs only please! Would love to know favorite treats, how good they are on a leash and if they are good with people/kids/other dogs. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby and start spoiling them while you are away.
