I just really love animals !

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for a variety of animals. I have watched birds cats hamsters but most often I have looked after dogs. I have watched over all of the pets in the neighborhood to ensure they are safe and loved while their parents are away. I have experience in caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and most importantly giving your pet all the attention they need!

Malia was a great sitter. I would definitely recommend. Our pups had a great time with her.

Malia took great care of our German Shepherd girl while we were away. She was accommodating and flexible, sometimes sitting both our dog and our friend’s dog during the times she came over. When she took care of the pups, she was kind and loving and both dogs loved her. I just wish I got more updates/pictures on a regular basis - but other than that, everything was excellent! We will definitely try to book Malia’s services again, if available, and recommend her to others!

Malia did an amazing job of watching my two boys while I was out of town. She was extremely communicative and friendly. Also, I received photos of the boys consistently. She did such a great job that I offered her the opportunity to be our weekly dog sitter but she informed me that she’s starting a second job soon.

Malia has cared for my pet cockatiel Rocky several times over the past two years while I was out of town for extended vacations. Malia gave love and care to Rocky and he really took to her. Malia is responsible, trustworthy, reliable, smart, has a wonderful attitude. I know she is good with dogs and cats too. I will hire her again and again to care for my pet.
