I love fur babies of all sizes!🥰

I grew up on a hobby farm with an assortment of different small and large animals! I have been dog and house sitting for over 6 years for friends & family while living in Minnesota. I moved to Chattanooga summer of 2022 and I have enjoyed meeting fur babies in the area!☺️

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time ever having someone other than family take care of my Tori girl, so I was definitely nervous! Malinda was wonderful from the very beginning. She met with us twice before our scheduled day so Tori could get to know her, and I felt so much better knowing Tori was comfortable with her before I left. She was sweet and patient with my girl, followed everything I asked, and kept me updated throughout both visits. Being able to enjoy my day away without worrying about Tori meant more to me than she probably realizes. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy, and I will absolutely be calling Malinda again! ❤️

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.

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.
