Information Malia V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is potty trained, their feeding schedule, if you're okay with me taking them out on mini adventures, if they need any medication, etc. Let me know any and all relevant information related to caring for your animal.

A typical day

I walk my dog and hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon and sometimes trade in a walk for an hour trip to the park or beach. My dog also loves to play so I try to incorporate an hour of play as well.

Pet care experience

I've had pets since age 4 and helped take care of/raise puppies, nursing mothers, and disabled dogs. As well as cats. Along with having my fur baby in this present day, I also sit for my friends when they're out of town. In my youth, I've taken care of my dog that got hit by a car and I had to spoon feed her wet food while mixing in her oral medication. I also cleaned her wounds. When my other dogs hind legs became paralyzed, I helped care for him and kept him clean and mentally stimulated as possible. Both of those dogs lived to age 17 and 16 years, respectfully.

Malia was an excellent care taker for my puppy Helly R. She was so supportive and engaging for her drop in visits, even helping Helly leanring some tricks! She sent a million photos and videos. I felt confident that all would be well for my sudden trip out if town. I highly recommend Malia 5 stars!

Malia was absolutely amazing during her drop-in visits with my pets. She went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she make sure they were fed and cared for, but she also cleaned up their messes and litter without hesitation. She spent quality time with them, gave them attention and love, and kept me consistently updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my animals were comfortable and well cared for, and that means everything to me. I would 100% book with Malia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.
