Loving and attentive pet sitter!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Malina! I’ve been working through Rover in my hometown all summer, so I have quite a bit of experience, and I’m now back in Missoula for school! As such, my schedule is a bit less open, but I’d love to take jobs when I can! I have a lot of gaps between my classes and commitments, so hopefully we can work out a time in between! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this job; it’s always fun to meet and play with new dogs (and cats!), and I’ve cared for all energy levels, from couch potato to nonstop play. I have quite a bit of previous pet care experience as well. Growing up, I always had a deep love for all pets. I took my neighbor's dog for walks, volunteered at the animal shelter, and helped pet sit from a young age. My family and I have often pet sit for family and friends. I've had my own dog, an Australian Shepherd named Rosie, for a couple years now and have thoroughly enjoyed raising her through her puppy days! I learned how to care for her and pay attention to her health, we went to puppy classes and had many training sessions at home, and I've learned many ways to keep her active mind and body busy through agility, scent work, frisbee, hiking, obedience training, and more! I'm so proud of the dog she's grown into and she's constantly receiving compliments from everyone. All my pet experiences have made me confident that I can care for yours in whatever capacity you need, whether it be house sitting, dropping by for potty breaks and playtime, or taking them for walks! I will ensure that they are always safe, receive plenty of love, and are cared for in a way that fits their lifestyle!
Reviews
Melina did a wonderful job looking after our dogs and house . She was a great communicator and very trustworthy. We will definitely hire her again.
Malina took such good care of my Labradors! I would 100% have her back.
I rebooked Malina for drop-ins for a longer trip, and she took great care of our kitty and home. She’s a great choice for your petsitting needs!
Malina was wonderful, reliable and took great care of our home and pup!
About Malina S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize the safety of all animals I care for and will always respect any boundaries you or your pet may have. I'll also do my best to stick with any routine or other parts of their lifestyle that they're accustomed to so that they're comfortable. I prefer to have a meet and greet before house sitting just to ensure that introductions go smoothly.
Information Malina S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviors, or restrictions I need to account for! Not required, but I’d also like to know their favorite activities and other things they’re familiar with so we can keep busy and have fun while staying in their comfort zone!
A typical day
I love a huge variety of activities with dogs to keep them mentally and physically active. We’ll go for long walks, play fetch, search for hidden treats, and they might even learn some new tricks! If your dog leads a less active lifestyle, no worries - I also love some chill time lazing around the house and relaxing.

As a university student, I have a bit of a chaotic schedule that can change from week to week. However, if I’ve committed to a Rover stay, I’ll always prioritize that commitment and take care of your pet!
