My name is Malia, and if there’s a dog at the party, you’ve probably already found me 🙂

I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up surrounded by pets, traveled often, and was lucky enough to experience incredible wildlife – from spending endless hours with my Golden Retriever to watching elephants on safari. Animals have always brought me so much joy, and if I hadn’t pursued acting, I probably would have studied zoology. Caring for animals has always felt second nature, so being able to spend my days with New York City’s four-legged residents feels like the perfect fit.

I’m a New York–based actor, singer, and lifelong pet enthusiast. I moved to the city three years ago to study at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and after graduating this past spring, I’ve been excited to grow another passion of mine: caring for animals.

I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since high school, with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. While living in Los Angeles, I regularly worked with furry clients, and since moving to New York I’ve had the joy of walking my longtime corgi client, Batman (yes, his name is Batman, and yes, he’s every bit as iconic as you’d imagine). Most recently, I spent two weeks solo caring for an entire farm (including a dog, cat, chickens, and plenty of other animals) which only confirmed that I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by creatures of every kind.

Whether your pup needs an energetic adventure, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and genuinely excited every time we spend time together. I treat every pet like family, because that’s exactly what they are.
