Malia was so great with our senior dog. She kept us updated and seemed to really enjoy caring for and spending time with our dog. Would definitely rebook in the future with Malia!

Malia has been taking care of our dog for over a year and has always been outstanding. She is conscientious and loving. Our dog is scared of pretty much everything, but goes to Malia without hesitation! I highly recommend Malia!

Based on the initial interactions with Malia & the many wonderful reviews she has on here, I believed Malia was experienced with many different types of dogs. Unfortunately, I quickly saw that might not be as accurate as I thought. My dog, like many dogs, has separation anxiety initially - specifically when being left somewhere unfamiliar with a new person. I have used 4 different sitters on Rover (all of which I have had repeat visits with) & the ability of the Rover to comfort and calm my dog has never been an issue. If he feels comfortable with the sitters, he quickly gets over his anxiety. I expected nothing less when leaving him with Malia, especially thinking she was so experienced. When I arrived at Malia’s, she didnt seem to greet or interact with my dog, she was standoffish & seemed nervous. I believe this led my dog to have even more anxiety. She even asked if i wanted to stay to calm him- which makes no sense to me. Unfortunately, Malia seemed unwilling to try to comfort my dog & it was clear he was uncomfortable around her. When I asked what she had tried to do to comfort him and make him less anxious, she didn’t really have an answer outside of she tried to give him treats. Overall, she appeared to be inexperienced and unwilling to be a comfort to my dog. I understand that this is a unique experience I have had and she may be a wonderful sitter to lots of other dogs. Unfortunately my dog & I felt uncomfortable and unwelcomed & she clearly felt uncomfortable as well. As a result, he did not stay with Malia.

My first time ever leaving Zeus with a sitter, and she did an amazing job. My little guy came home happy and excited. I will definitely be working with her in the future!

Availability

What to Expect: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. As I'm currently working from home for the foreseeable future, I'll always be present except when stepping out for short errands. This means your furry friend will have constant companionship and supervision, providing them with a sense of security and peace of mind while you're away. During their stay, your pets will receive plenty of one-on-one attention and affection. From cuddle sessions on the couch to interactive playtime in the living room, I'll ensure they feel loved and cherished throughout their visit. Whether it's gentle pets, belly rubs, or stimulating games, I'll tailor activities to suit your pet's preferences and personality. Additionally, I typically take care of 2 babies at the same time. More than likely, your baby will have a buddy to play with when they visit, adding an extra layer of companionship and fun to their stay. Rest assured, your pet will have ample opportunities for cuddles, pets, play, and relaxation in a warm and welcoming environment. With me at their side, they'll receive the personalized care and attention they deserve, making their time away from home as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
