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.
