I love fur babies of all sizes!🥰

I have 2 fur babies myself that enjoy going on walks and would love the company of your fur baby on walks if needed. I am available to stop by your house every couple hours to check in on your fur babies and give them attention and loving.

Malinda is wonderful. She knows what she is doing. She's very professional and friendly. She did a great job watching three very different dogs. Could not recommend her any stronger. She is fantastic!

Malinda was very patient with our dog who had separation anxiety and good with our 21-year-old cat. We would definitely ask her to stay with them again

Malinda is amazing and a dog whisperer. My Joon is reactive and scared of everything but genuinely adored Malinda. I appreciate her kindness and how well she cared for my pups.

Malinda was great! Kept me updated over the two weeks she watched them. My dogs were super happy and comfortable, including my youngest who can be a nervous with new people.

Malinda was great with my fur kids. I really appreciated her coming by to meet my pup beforehand. As a pittie owner, I am always nervous of people’s misconceptions. Malinda treated him with such kindness, he immediately felt comfortable with her which made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care! She sent updates and photos and was quick to respond when I reached out. Would definitely use her services again and highly recommend!!

Schedule

I work at my FT job until 3:30, so before I head to work and after I'm done I am able to help out with pet cares.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Malinda can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if there's any medication that needs to be given and if so how frequent. If your fur baby gets along well with other dogs or prefers to play solo.
