Mallory was amazing with my dog and two cats! We were gone for 9 days and my animals loved her. She was friendly and organized. She communicated throughout our vacation and even sent pictures daily! Will definitely rebook with her.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my family for most of my life! Growing up I learned to take good care of them and love on them. Since high school, I have helped out my neighbors by pet-sitting and house-sitting. I loved getting to visit the pets and make sure they were well cared for. Our pets deserve the best and I want to make that happen! I am a full time college student at WKU, but when I am not in class, I would love to care for your pet! I usually have free time in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I am typically available on weekends. Feel free to reach out and I am happy to be flexible finding a day and time that works for you! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with 3 roommates. They all love animals but will not be too involved with the pets. There are plenty of areas outside for your pet. We have a large living room space and a balcony which is usually closed. Pets are welcome on furniture and they can be in the living room or my bedroom. Currently there are no other animals in our apartment.
