On a mission to love all the dogs.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Mal Ward and I am a Kentucky native, outdoors enthusiast, vegan, runner, and theatre junkie. I grew up with an English bulldog named Styme, a 3-legged German Shepherd named Sarge, a lab/dachshund mix named Tiffany, and a golden retriever named Griffin. Because my mom was allergic to cats, my love for them came from cat sitting friends and neighbors. I've had an assortment of different pets; 2 white ducks named Ren and Stimpy, a baby chick named Q-Tip, 3 guinea pigs, first Floppy and then Elvis and Priscilla, and so.. many.. fish. I love running and have worked with dogs who need a vigorous workout. But I can veg out with a cat just as easily. I am crazy clean and very protective. I would love the opportunity to work with and care for your pet! New York cat sitter, dog walker, overnight pet sitter, experience with a wide range of animals and sizes, references available! Why I love dog sitting I can't remember a time I wasn't a dog lover. From my first time playing fetch to rolling around outside with our dogs, they've always seemed like part of the family. My experience administering medication Absolutely! I'm a quick learner and not afraid of a challenge.

Mal and her little family are absolutely wonderful. She loved my dog from the moment she met him, but more than that, I could tell she genuinely loves all dogs! She kept in good contact, and I knew that Danny was in excellent hands. She even went the extra mile by allowing me to crash at her apartment for a few hours when I came to pick up my dog. A multi-day festival in the area rendered any car transportation absolutely impossible, but she and her partner were lovely to talk to and very welcoming! We will most definitely use her again, and I would highly recommend her if you want your dog to have a warm and loving home to stay in while you're away. :)

Mal and her partner Charlie were great with Buddy. They too have a dog that is paralyzed and in a cart so they knew what to expect and how to handle Buddy with a little primer from me. I felt as ease while I was away because they would send me updates with photos. Buddy was very well taken care of. I would recommend her and would use her again! In fact I just booked her again as this was written!
