Pet care experience

Reviews
Malia is excellent! I cannot express how much I appreciate her photos, updates, and extra care. I have 3 cats and she was loved by all of them. I highly recommend her.
Malia is stellar! She is incredibly good with cats and even my aloof kitty loves her. Plus she helped me with my plants and she kept my birdfeeders full. She sent photos daily and I was updated throughout the day as well. I can't recommend her enough.
Malia stayed with my dog while I was on vacation and did a fantastic job! She was patient with my elderly dog and left the house in great shape. She was dependable and I would definitely recommend her services!
Malia was great with my cat while was on vacation. He is not the type of cat that warms up to strangers, and she took care to be gentle and kind to him. Thanks Malia!
About Malia C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with a lot of different pet personalities and behaviors so I will make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m very communicative so I will be sure to reach out with questions. Disclaimer: I have tried my best to stay over overnight for in-home visits but I have found it difficult due to my chronic sleep disorder so with permission I ask to leave super late at night and come back in the early morning. Rest assured your furry loved one will not be left for too long home alone over night.

A typical day
I love going on walks so depending on the dogs willingness to walk for the day and the weather I take them around the neighborhood or walk to a park and back! I also spoil the pets I watch by giving them treats I grab from the pet store I work near (usually a flavored bone or my go to is pig ears for dogs and a churu for the kitties)
