Aspiring Animal Whisperer

My whole life I’ve lived with and taken care of pets, ranging from puppies and kittens to 13yr doggos and a 17yr old cat who we call granny. My friends and family have always trusted me to babysit and even take in their animals when necessary. I’ve also had a rabbit, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and taken care of my sisters ferrets so I have a vast animal care knowledge. One of my current dogs is from a shelter and has PTSD so I also am well versed in dogs with anxiety and fears.

Malena, was amazing! She took great care of our house and our 3 dogs and cat! I would definitely use her again.

Malena was FABULOUS! I had a family emergency and she was able to come over right away. She stayed with my incredibly spoiled black lab for a week, playing, walking etc. She sent me pics and videos every day which I loved! I highly recommend Malena to any and all high maintenance fur parents like me ?

Animals and children adore Malena, they seem to feel safe around her. Malena is very good with dogs, cats, small animals and fish. She has many years experience caring for dogs, cat's, guinea pigs, fish, hamster's and rabbits, including feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, dental care, eye drops, ear cleaning, grooming and of course dog park adventures, and playtime, and cleaning after them. She is kind and gentle and very patient, and I would recommend her for anyone's pet.

I love my fur babies and make sure they’re taken care of, but I would love to meet and spoil more! There is always time for extra love!

Pets

A typical day

I love going to the dog parks as well as walks by the rover, I know a great spot where they can take breaks if necessary and cool down their feet in the water. Flexible to walk wherever the dog parents would like and according to the dogs needs.

Cats
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time

If they are friendly with other dogs, if they have dietary restrictions (treats) and how long/far they can walk. It’s also helpful to know their favorite toys and places they are comfortable. And of course their sweet spots!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
