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 did such a great job taking care of our puppy when we were traveling. She dropped to him on the requested times, played with him and took care of him. She was super communicative and send me videos and photos from each drop. Highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable person!

We feel so lucky to have found Malia! This was the first time we left our cat alone at home for 4 days and we were so worried that something might go wrong. But Malia made sure that both Lou and us felt completely at ease. She went above and beyond with extra care for Louise and sent us a ton of wonderful photos and videos. She followed every single line of our instructions and made sure Lou felt completely loved and not abandoned while we were away. Thank you very, very much! We'll definitely be booking again! ☺️

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.
