Pet care experience

Excited to meet your pet

UPDATE: I now have a part time job in addition to providing services on Rover. My shifts are between 4-8 hours. I love animals and have experience taking care of both cats and dogs, as well as puppies and kittens. I’ve grown up in a very pet-oriented environment and have a wealth of knowledge and insight. I understand the importance of daily walks, especially for energetic puppies! I am comfortable with aiding in potty training as well as administering medications (I have pets of my own who require oral pills and liquids so I am confident). I also have experience giving subcutaneous fluids to older pets. I have had pets all my life and I would love to meet your cat or dog! My pets are my babies, so I understand that your pet is your baby and will make sure that they stay happy and safe while you are away. I am more than happy to throw a ball for your dog at the park, or keep them company at home. I enjoy playing with social kitties, but can also provide them with a calm and restful environment. These are your pets so you set the rules and I do only what you are comfortable with. I provide frequent updates to keep you in the loop about how they are doing! I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

Malia watched Pocket for two nights while I was out of town, I got a few photos and updates and Pocket seemed to be doing great when I returned. I would be happy to book Malia again!

Malia was and is amazing. She looked after my very elderly cat and was very attentive, caring, and responsive to his changing needs. She monitored and addressed his emerging symptoms, dealt with medication changes and navigated the need for him to see his vet. She was extremely communicative and worked with me seamlessly to collaborate on his care. In addition to this, our house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend her services!

Malia was communicative and sent great photos throughout the trip. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned home and we would definitely have Malia watch them again! Also the house was clean and exactly how we left it. Thanks!

Malia was amazing and our baby Gus did well in her care this weekend! We had a wonderful weekend away and were secure knowing she was here taking care of Gus!

Malia was absolutely amazing, and we could not be happier with the care she gave Arrow and Chiyo! She was incredibly responsive, kept both of them happy, entertained, and well cared for, and made us feel so at ease the entire time. We came home to two very happy pets and would book with her again in a heartbeat!

Malia always takes the best care of my pup. She's super responsive, thoughtful, and sends great pics. This is the second time Malia has watched Benny, and I'll definitely hire her again!
