Malia is the best with my senior dog, Luna Nova! I trust her with caring for Luna. Luna absolutely loves her and looks forward to seeing her.

Malia is so good with Luna Nova,, my 8 year old Rottweiler who also just had surgery. She takes the cutest pictures of her and gives me really good updates. She informs me if anything is concerning. I 100% trust her with my dog. She handled giving Luna her meds and a snack during the day to keep Luna from getting an upset belly. I totally recommend her.

Chet had a great walk with Malia and she even took him to the park to play fetch with him. He was tired out when he got back :) She was also communicative and flexible about pick up.

Malia is the dog sitter we’ve been dreaming about! Our pup is special needs and Malia has been so patient and loving with her. She doesn’t mind how detail-oriented we are with our dog’s care (in fact is so understanding of it) and she gives us the peace of mind we’ve been looking for. It’s a relief to know we can leave the house and trust our dog is being cared for at the same caliber that we would provide. She’s punctual, responsive, and responsible. Will definitely work with Malia in the future and 10/10 recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
