PT Who Loves All Furry Friends

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a travel physical therapist staying in the area for a little while. I haven’t had too many opportunities to explore, but so far I’m enjoying my time here! I like reading, exercising, and being outdoors. More importantly, I absolutely love animals! I’ve had experience caring for my own pets as well as a few of my neighbors, dog walking, and I have done house-sitting jobs spanning from a few days to a couple weeks. I would love to take care of your furry friends any time it is needed. I enjoy helping people in any capacity and it’s icing on the cake that I can help someone and spend time with animals. I hope you consider me for any of your animal needs!

Makena always does a great job with our dog. As a house sitter, she’s also very tidy and careful. It’s clear that she cares and we appreciate her!!

Ike and Ella were thrilled to have such an attentive responsible human watching over them. Malena very graciously took the time to meet our pets before coming to hang out with them in our home for a long weekend. She lovingly tolerated our older dogs early morning schedule and our younger dogs need for constant attention. She was in great communication with us throughout our stay to let us know they were okay. Malena took great care over our precious animals and we look forward to inviting her back.

Malena was great! She house sat and watched my cat Penny for 3 days. She was very responsive the whole time and left my apartment in great shape! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter!

Absolutely great experience. We have a athletic pup who needs exercise and attention or she gets stressed and misbehaved. Came home from a 4 day trip to a chill happy dog. Malena gave us great fast communication and photos and video throughout her housesitting stay. Will happily book again!!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your animal as if he or she was my own. With me, you can rest assured that your pet is getting the care that is not only expected but needed. Furthermore, I have repeatedly sat for a client outside of Rover who can attest to my level of care.

Information Malena L. would like to know about your pet

I understand that every animal is different and caring for one is a unique situation. I am most curious about your animal’s personality. Knowing his/her tendencies so I can best prepare.

A typical day

I provide your pets with all the cuddles, love, attention, and walks they could dream of! Depending on the area, I also take them to dog parks. They’ll definitely have a good time under my care!

Availability

Unfortunately my schedule doesn’t allow for weekday (in some cases I am available, please inquire for further information) care; ideally, weekends work best. However, I know some animals don’t need all day care/attention and can afford to be left alone for longer periods. If my weekday availability is not a problem, please consider me! If not, then I’m more than willing to provide weekend care. During these weekends I can be with your animal at all times!
