Information Malia G. would like to know about your pet

If there’s any past incidents I should be concerned of, any health problems ? How do they do with kids? Any triggers? What are their fav treats? Any tips on how you deal with the pup so they feel at home? Separation anxiety?I prefer dogs to be bathed and flee free! If not I provide a washing service!

A typical day

Pena Adobe is one of our fav parks!!! We love to hike and go on picnics! I go for daily Runs in the morning and would love a buddy! My sons a tree hugger so we are outside alllll day!

DOGS AND CATS BETTER THAN HUMANS

Pet care experience

I have taken care of three brand new puppies since they were baby’s. They are all grown up now. We had two Chihuahuas which were flown from Florida to us they were just a couple of weeks old, we cook for our dogs or order them Farmer John’s we don’t believe in packaged foods I also have no problem feeding that if that’s the owners preference. Dogs and cats are sweet souls and they deserve to be treated just as a human would be! I am A full-time stay at home mom to my one year-old son. My son loves dogs and is very gentle with dogs. We’d love to have another baby in this home ! We do like to accommodate to any of the owners orders . Your dog will always remain fed on the eating schedule, have a lots of outside time play time cuddle time. I’ve sat about 30-40 pups through rover and absolutely LOVE meeting these lovely babys! I would love to make this a full time job! I am a stay at home mom trying to make this a full time job! Available anytime, very open and flexible about dates and times! Please ask if you need pick ups and drops off I wouldn’t mind at all! Sooo many cuddles & treats & walks we love adventures and cuddles , being very cautious if needed , try and not overwhelm the pup in a new environment!!! Being patient & letting the pup come to me at their terms!

She took the best care of our girl! Will be using Malia again, so happy to have found her on Rover.

Malia was awesome! Friendly, energetic and loving. It was obvious my Arlo had a great time during his vacay w/ Malia and her adorable 5yr old (?) little guy. Malia’s pick up & drop off was seamless. My fairly energetic pup Got his fill of belly rubs, playtime and upon his return would continue to run to Malia , flipping on his back as if to say “Come on, one more bellyrub”. Thank you Malia for the pics and for taking great care of our Arlo!

This should sum it up: we weren’t sure our doggy baby would want to return home. Malia remained in contact throughout the holidays and sent many pictures.

Malia was wonderful with Baxter! I will certainly leave him with her for my next trip.
