I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule as I only work 3 days each week as an esthetician and esthetics instructor, and have my husband to help me take care of our fur own fur babies. I don’t mind early mornings, and strive to keep a consistent routine for your pet.

Information Maleah R. would like to know about your pet

Health conditions, veterinary and insurance info, pet’s likes/dislikes, their normal routine, their activity level, status of being fixed, any allergies, and their personality.

A typical day

Your pet can expect lots and lots of lovins, a couple more treats than usual just for being a gorgeous baby, chasing plenty of balls and scratches behind the ear. I love walking wooded trails and cute neighborhoods and am happy to bring your pet along if they love it as much as I do! No worries, if your fit baby isn’t very active- while you’re on vacation, I can take one too and slow down to spend extra time with your critter!

Pet care experience

Starting in 2015, while working as a housekeeper, I became the go-to pet sitter for many of the families I cleaned for. Even after starting my career as an esthetics instructor, I stayed on as their trusted sitter, continuing to care for their senior cats and dogs alike, foster dogs, special needs dogs, dogs with behavioral issues. With both a cat and dog myself and having raised two litters of pups, I offer a wide variety of knowledge and expertise. I take pride in giving an insane amount of scratches, massages, baby talk and car rides for doggy ice cream from Ritters, all while singing “you are my sunshine.” I am a firm and proud believer that I ought to treat your pets as I would my very own! Having a huge heart for animals, I trust their instincts and strive to be as in tune with them as possible. They truly are so sensitive to what’s going on around them and I humbly love learning from each animal, their outlook on life and their own experiences.

I have used Maleah for the past 5 or six years now for my two now three dogs. I have her stay the night with them, for they will get into mischief if not. My furbabies love her. They always act excited to see her when she comes for instructions. She does spend quality time with them also, playing and petting them or just hanging out with them. I highly recommend her.
