Mallory was amazing! She was willing and flexible to take on watching our pup last minute, and she made it feel like we had known her for a long time! She gave multiple updates with pictures every day. We truthfully knew more about what was happening with our dog than we did with our baby that was being watched by our in laws at the same time. We will definitely use Mallory again!

Our dogs and home were so very well taken care of. Faith sent us pictures every day and communicated any issue she had immediately. She was able to problem solve and give our pets the best care. I have rebooked her again and will as long as she is willing.

About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dog breeds since I was a child. My neighbors, friends, and family have asked me on tons of different occasions to care for their furry friend. I’m experienced in difficult situations such as potty training or senior care and good at administering medications. Young professional with tons of free time before starting a full-time job in the fall. I’d be happy to take care of your pet as if they are my own! At my apartment, I have a gated backyard and live in a super walkable neighborhood with a park nearby that my own pup enjoys to go to. I prefer to watch pets at their home where they are comfortable and know their surroundings. I can provide all the play and activity they need in their environment and may crate them if needed.

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!

About: I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and taken my family’s dog for ten years before headed to college, so I have experience with every age of dog. I work at Aisin Electronics in Marion Illinois but have Wednesdays off as well as weekends. Other than going to the gym on those days, I have a very open schedule. When I’m home moose has free roam of the house and will ask to play or go outside whenever he wants. Usually I start to mess with him and get him riled up before I get him to play.

I have owned cats in the past though just not currently. I can handle big and little dogs even if they aren't the best trained then I'm the person for you. I have a lot of patience with animals. I can handle cats too I get they can have a variety of personalities. Whether they're friendly or not I'll care for them as you need. I will also take care of any other pet in your household if you need I'm not afraid of any animals. Due to college I'm not available during certain times Monday through Thursday but other than that I have a pretty flexible schedule. I don't have any kind of full time or part time job but I am looking currently. I just do dog walking/sitting right now. As of 01/10/2026, I have no current clients anymore since I just moved an hour from where I used to live. I can only dogsit in your home, I live in an apartment. At your home I'll be here the entire time I won't leave the house if you're pet is with me. I'll play with your cat or dog and give them the attention they need. I'll feed and water them at your scheduled times needed. I'll walk them and take them out when needed. Whatever the pet needs I'm here for.

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).
