Malachi did an excellent job house sitting and taking care of our two dogs and two cats. He was reliable, respectful, and made sure all of our pets were well cared for while we were away. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing the house and animals were in good hands. We really appreciate his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or house sitter.

Malachi has been an awesome — super easy to work with and very reliable! He’s been great with my dog and incredibly flexible, even when I accidentally forgot to leave a key one day. He handled everything with patience and professionalism. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, trustworthy walker!

Malachi was amazing. Ramsey took to him right away. I had no issues with leaving Ramsey in his care. Would definitely use him for future walks, visits and even overnight care. Thanks Malachi for a job well done.

Safety, trust & environment

This is how I came for pets immediately greet them with warm welcoming, HI’s and Hello’s. Let the dog out for at least 15 minutes either walk or backyard. Do owners assigned routine. Clean any leftover dishes that may come from that routine. Play for about 20 minutes. I will let them outside for another 5 to 10 minutes. Routine complete!
