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!

Pets are my lifeline

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since age 7. My dad served as a canine handler in the United States Air Force for over 20 years. I was employed at the Trainer apprentice at dog training, elite for one year. I love animals and all their quirks

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.

Great guy and very respectable! Will definitely book more sessions with Malachi to walk our two dogs. He handled Lady our wild child like professional. All around great experience. Thank you Malachi very much and God bless you.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
