I’ll care for your dog like my own!

Pet care experience

I love to get outside and have experience working with dogs of all sizes and all ages. Seven years ago I adopted my first pup of my own, and I love her as if she were my child! I have experience handling large untrained shelter dogs, and my partner and I try to take the pups out for at least one long walk on the rail trail right behind our house every day (and other adventures too!). We love all breeds and can't wait to hang out with your pup and give them lots of belly rubs, playtime, couch snuggles, and anything else that will make them feel happy and at home! I'm also happy to work with dogs with specific needs or special circumstances if needed!

Athena looked so happy and relaxed in all of the pictures we got. We could tell she had a great time!

I've known Malena for over 7 years. She is thoughtful, caring, and loves dogs! She will certainly take care of your dog as if it were her own.

Information Malena G. would like to know about your pet

I like to make sure that they are very friendly around other dogs since our dog that doesn’t get along super well with dominant or aggressive dogs. We love to do meet and greets to ensure compatibility and we're very good about easing them into getting to know each other in our home. Dogs sometimes need peace and quiet too, and we like to respect that!

A typical day

I like to take the dogs out for walks along the Rail Trail or to splash around Jamie's Pond, play fetch in the yard, or sunbathe on our deck! Sometimes we'll head out for some local hikes or even just go for drives with the windows open (in summer). Really anything with good sniffing potential!
