Pet care experience

Animal Lover & College Student

Hi fellow pet lovers! My name is Malia, and I’m a student-athlete at Florida Southern College with a deep love for animals. Back home, I’ve always been the one to care for and cherish my family dogs, and here at school, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for my teammates when they’re away. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, giving extra love to senior pets, or simply ensuring your furry friend feels safe and happy, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions!

Malia was wonderful with our big fur baby, she was very loving & sent lots of pictures, took him on walks, and gave him a lot of attention, we will definitely be using her again as a dog sitter!! Loved her!!

Malia was great from the first inquiry to picking up our two doggies. She offered a meet and greet, kept us updated with photos and comments (which we love!), and our girls seemed to really love her :)

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to walking, playing with, and caring for your dog/s. Whether it’s fitting in a morning walk before class, a play session between study breaks, or evening cuddles, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels loved and attended to throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I genuinely love and appreciate all types of dogs and have experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I ensure a safe, loving environment tailored to your pet’s needs. From playtime and walks to keeping their water bowl full and providing plenty of potty breaks (don’t worry—I always have poop bags on hand!), your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all tailored to your pet’s personality and needs. We’ll start the day with a refreshing walk or playtime to burn off energy, followed by meals and some well-deserved belly rubs or snuggles. For active pets, I enjoy taking them on longer walks, playing fetch, or engaging in fun games that keep them mentally stimulated. If your pet prefers a more relaxed vibe, we’ll enjoy quiet bonding time, like lounging or gentle care. My goal is to ensure your pet is stress-free while you’re away.

To provide the best care for your pet, I’d love to know… - Personality traits: Are they shy, energetic, or somewhere in between? - Daily routine: Feeding times, walk schedules, and any favorite activities. - Health needs: Medications, allergies, or special care instructions. - Behavioral tendencies: Do they get along with other pets, or have any quirks like chewing or jumping? - Training preferences: Commands they know or are currently learning. The more I know, the better I can ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care!
