Safety, trust & environment

In both my home and my client's home, I bring my deep love for animals to every aspect of care, prioritizing safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I meticulously ensure all areas are secure and free of hazards while adhering to specific safety instructions from pet owners. My genuine affection for pets drives me to be consistent, attentive, and responsive to their needs, respecting their routines and maintaining open communication with their owners for regular updates. I create a calming and enriching environment, keeping their usual routines, providing engaging activities, and showering them with the affection they deserve. My passion for animals ensures they feel loved, secure, and well-cared for, whether in my home or theirs.

Information Malina J. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know each pet’s dietary needs, exercise preferences, any health issues or medications, their daily routine, and their likes and dislikes. Understanding their social behavior and any specific care instructions will help ensure they feel comfortable and well-cared for.

A typical day

I’ll tailor activities to each pet's preferences, including interactive play, puzzle games, walks, and outdoor adventures. I’ll also provide cuddle time and enrichment activities like treat-dispensing toys to keep them happy and engaged.

Pet care experience

Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of pets, including chickens, snakes, hamsters, parakeets, and litters of cats and dogs. I’ve personally rehabilitated numerous cat and dog rescues, providing consistent care and support to help them heal and thrive. My volunteer experience includes caring for cats at PetSmart and working at an animal sanctuary for farm animals. I approach every pet I care for with love, attention, and respect, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

We couldn't have been happier having Malina as a pet sitter for Josie. It was our very first experience doing all of this with her. Malina stayed overnight and was very conscientious about keeping things in order. She came over before the stay to get acquainted with us and Josie and discuss schedules and routines, so Josie was familiar with her when she came over. She works remotely and was here the entire time. It sounded like they had a wonderful time together and Malina was very communicative with us, sending pictures and texts. She had wonderful comments about Josie. Josie loved her and so do we! Wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again.

Because Malina works remotely, she was a great pick for house/dog sitting while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She was very affectionate with our pup Katy, and took good care of her. When Malina came by a couple days after we returned home, Katy was at the door, wagging her little stub of a tail, happy to greet Malina. She took good care of our many houseplants - each looked well cared for upon our return. She also kept our home neat and tidy. We enjoyed getting photos or videos every day, seeing that Katy was getting daily exercise and naps.
