Pet care experience

Experienced, Compassionate Pet Care

Animals trust me right away. I understand animal behavior and have a calm, intuitive presence that makes them feel safe and relaxed—perfect for timid pets or those with anxiety. I have comprehensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals (cows, pigs, sheep, and goats). I am highly adaptable to their specific routines, meds, and unique needs. I treat every animal as my own, focusing on bonding and safety.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m dedicated to creating a safe environment. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs to ensure they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away. I’m experienced in maintaining routines, administering oral medication, and recognizing signs of stress and discomfort.

Malia has watched my German Shepard, Duke on several occasions , and I can definitely say she does an amazing job. He actually cries whenever she leaves and goes crazy when she comes to watch him. I highly recommend her for anything from walks to extended stays. She recently watched Duke this 4th of July weekend and she was promptly communicative!

Malia has watched my two year old black lab Theo on many occasions. Theo is a very rambunctious pup and Malia is great with handling his temperament. I can tell she is very caring and after every stay Theo seems very happy. She is very responsive and gave many updates during his stay. I felt at ease during my time away and knew Theo was in great hands.

Malia has pet sitted for me several times and every time has been as professional, respectful and attentive to my dogs needs as you can possibly hope for. On top of that my dog is clearly very calm and at ease with her. I've been more than pleased with her service and am glad to trust her with my pet again in the future

Malia is responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. She watched my kitten for a month. She is extremely loving and understanding towards animals! Your pet will love Malia. You do not have to worry about anything while Malia cares for your animal and you can trust she will communicate updates as necessary!

Malia was the best sitter we could find for our Mikey. He’s an American Pitbull Terrier, and just a bundle of love, but he can sometimes be difficult to handle due to having a rough past before we adopted him. Malia took the time needed to make sure he was kept on our strict routine with his feeding and potty breaks while we were gone for a brief out of town trip. Not to mention we were able to book last minute when our other sitter fell through (WHAT A RELIEF!). 10/10 would recommend!

Understanding your pet’s unique needs and preferences helps me provide the best care possible! Before we get started, it’s helpful to know about any specific routines, dietary needs, or medications they require. Please let me know about their favorite activities, any quirks or behaviors to watch for, and any particular comforts or triggers. The more I know, the more I can ensure your pet feels safe and happy in my care!
