Pet care experience

Part of my 'ohana

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 a delight to work with, attentive and accommodating. She sent us lots of photos and was receptive to our needs. Would definitely hire again!

Found Malia after my existing sitter moved away. I’m super-pleased with how everything went. Malia is conscientious, reliable, and responsive. She is a pleasure to interact with and most importantly, she took excellent care of my little treasure, Buster. I will be booking her again without hesitation.

Malia was amazing! I booked two visits per day so my cat, Alfie, wouldn't feel lonely while I was in the UK, and she looked after him so well. She sent me plenty of videos and photos, which I really appreciated. I will definitely book Malia again the next time I travel. I could also tell Alfie really liked her, as he's usually very shy but didn't hide when she was around. 😺

Schedule

I work a hybrid schedule. I go into the office Tues, Wed, and Thurs in the mornings between 8 AM - 2 PM. Sunday, Monday, and Thursday 7:00 PM -9:30 PM, I attend Bible study in Fullerton. So I am not available 6:00 PM- 10:00 PM (factoring in travel) on those nights. I can check on your fur babies before or after those time frames.
