Mallory took good care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She kept me updated with pictures each day, which eased my mind, knowing they were in good hands! She also took the trash down, collected our mail, and watered the plants. I highly recommend Mallory for your pet and house sitting needs!

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

So many good things to say about Kayla! She is kind, compassionate, and you can really tell how much she loves animals. If you find yourself needing to go out of town for vacation or family event, you can rest at ease with Kayla, watching your little angels. Clear communication, constant photo updates and flexibility. Kayla is so fantastic. We are repeat clients and will continue to book with Kayla in the future.

Jessica is professional, sweet, and absolutely loves animals! I enlisted her to house/pup sit for almost a week and she was PHENOMENAL!!! She is trustworthy, takes notes, and will call with any questions. It is the first time I’ve ever felt so safe with being away from my pups. We now consider her part of our family!!

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
