About Malena G.

Safety, trust & environment

I know it's difficult to open your home to a stranger, so I'm more than willing to meet or talk on the phone before you trust me with your pet! To ensure the safety of your dog, I need to know of any behavioral or medical issues. Depending on the issue, we can decide if I'm the best match for you and your dog. I know the basic do and donts, red flags, and really good at communication. I’m always patient, loving, and responsible! I understand there may be specific needs, wants, and asks so I’m all ears.

Information Malena G. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know what typical exercise your dog does and how you keep them entertained. Behavioral and medical issues are important because I have little experience administering oral or injected any medication. I have experience with behavioral issues but I'm comfortable with them to a certain extent. If I'm taking your dog for walks in my neighborhood it's important to know if they're leash trained, off leash trained, dog and kid friendly, because my neighborhood is full of dog-loving people too. As much as you can tell me about your pet is appreciated.

A typical day

My neighborhood is very busy with no sidewalks so I can take your pet to my local common or a nearby neighborhood that is safe. I can play fetch, run around with your dog and stimulate them mentally with different types of games. I'm also a pretty active person so going on hikes, runs, and walks are no problem for me if they aren't for your dog. I reside in Salem, MA which is perfect for chill downtown walks, fetch in a park, or even playing at the wharf so they can catch a breeze of ocean air.

A Loving Match for Your Dog!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. My first dog was a German Shepherd when I was 4, 12, and 16. My friends and family have exposed me to a wide variety of dogs. I am always the first in the room to attract a dog and the last to leave its side. Small or big, I know how to leave your dog with a new human friend, happy and tired. I'm more than comfortable checking in and house-sitting with all types of dogs whether it’s a couch companion or a playful friend. I know with my German Shepherd it's always go, go, go so when he sits and naps it's a break for me too. I'm comfortable walking dogs that are leash-trained and dog friendly of all sizes.

Malena is an incredibly mature and qualified candidate for any potential job opportunity that arise. She has owned three German Shepherds in her life so far, and has expressed the utmost love and ability to care for them throughout their lives. Although they were family dogs, she treated them as if they were her own, taking them to vet appointments, training them, providing enrichment and exceeding expectations in the quality of their lives. She is absolutely trusted with any of my dogs, which she has cared for before and she is incredibly kind, generous, and an overall delight to work with!

Malena is a very responsible individual and enjoys taking care of others. She has a knack for all types of animals. They gravitate to her and she’s very sweet, gentle, patient and kind. I trust her highly with my own dog and would recommend her for the position as she is very qualified.

Malena has owned and been around dogs her entire life. She is extremely patient and well educated on dogs behaviors. She understands their comfort is top priority and always makes an effort to work with the dog. These abilities make her a perfect fit for watching animals and maintaining their safety.
