Pet care experience

I have taken care of every kind of pet, from birds to horses to cats and dogs, for over 15 years. We have 1 dog and 1 cat currently in our home. Our family and home environment are as pet friendly as they come! We have a small back and front yard and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. All furniture surfaces are pet friendly and we have stairs for elderly and/or disabled dogs. We are happy to provide whatever care your loved one needs!

Great communication, very friendly. Our dog easily went with them and was a very happy, content puppy when we returned. Plenty of photos and videos to help ease any anxiety I had about my dog settling in well. Highly recommend!

Malena and her caretaking of animals is fantastic. She is dedicated and is very loving toward my dog. As my dog boarded with Malena, I felt confident and safe with my dog’s pet stay. Malena left plenty of photo and video updates throughout my dog’s stay. Malena followed my instructions and health needs for my dog, and she was clear and consistent for my dog’s needs. If you are contemplating on contacting Malena for pet boarding, I strongly recommend choosing Malena as your pet sitter. Thank you so much Malena for all the care and love for my dog!

Malena and her family did a great job looking after my baby girl. I’m so happy about what they did. Would definitely recommend.

Malena and her family were beyond sweet with our pups! I love that she took them on a walk/to play, and I could tell they had a great day when I picked them up!
