Pet care experience

I love to treat dogs as families

I am very playful with pets, and have always been a dog lover since I was seven growing up. I have more than 6 years of taking care of dogs, and is very patience when it comes to obedience training and taking them out for potty breaks. I’m physically in shape and willing to jog or run with your dog to give them the best exercise they need. I personally have my own pet Samoyed who’s 6 years old now. I'm very active when it comes to being outside. I'll make sure to keep your dog happy and treat them all like family. I am available for just about anything from making sure their food and water bowl are filled and giving your furry friend all the love they deserve.

We love Mahlan! He was so great with my energetic (sometimes anxious) dog. His dog Nunu is very sweet and played well with Zeus. He kept us updated and is very communicative and kind :) will definitely be booking with Mahlan again!

Very sweet. Shared pictures daily of all of the things I wanted to know such as food measurements, walks, and bathroom. Very communicative

Mahlan was a great sitter for my dog, Raya. Consistently sent photos and videos of her, and also keeping me updated with her daily activities. Raya can be a little challenging at times, but I definitely felt comfortable that Mahlan would be able to handle her. She also looked like she had a blast with Nunu, especially since we were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand. Would book again in the future👍🏽

Mahlan is an excellent sitter! All his updates were very informative and he cared to make sure Mangu was able to eat even in his new environment. I could tell Mangu loved him because he didn't want to leave. He is also very flexible and was willing to work with me on a last minute booking. I would highly recommend Mahlan.

Mahlan is hands down one of the best dog sitters I've had for Pac. He even went to the park to play fetch with him! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Schedule

I work on-site on weekdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and am home all day on weekends to provide full care and exercise. My daily routine includes a morning walk and feeding between 6:00 and 7:00 AM, followed by a quick potty break before I leave at 10:30 AM. I return home by 3:30 PM for a 30-to-40-minute walk, and dinner is served at 6:00 PM.

Safety, trust & environment

My Samoyed is very friendly! No need to worry about anything of aggressive or food possessive. Great around all breeds. I live in a house with a big backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. I’ll be sure to give them plenty of attention, care, and outdoor time. I do have pet ducks and chicken but have an enclosed shelter to keep them apart if needed. Your dog will have lots of space to relax, play, and feel right at home!

Pets

A typical day

Morning walks or runs with lots of care and love. Note, will notify if boarding other dogs and provide all the details needed to work around your dog needs depending on their temperaments. If taken to work, they will meet lots of other dogs and provide a play area to be socialized.

I would like to know any special needs or actions that are important to know, and what behavioral/aggressive tendencies that I should know of when taking care of your dog. I personally do not have any preference.
