Pet care experience

📚Para Educator in South Philly📚

I began a “sub-sitter” right out of high school with my moms and absolutely love it. I have had cats and dogs in I house since I was little. Big fan of walking/jogging with dogs, cuddling with cats, and generally spending time with animals.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Malachy was extremely communicative, sent frequent updates and pictures of Henry, and was very respectful of my home. Malachy made me feel confident that Henry was being very well taken care of and in great hands. I truly appreciated the care and attention and peace of mind.

Once again, an amazing time having Malachy watch Abby! I was able to go on my trip with zero worries about Abby. Malachy takes such good care of her, plenty of walks, pets and attention. So glad to have found such a reliable, incredible person to take care of Abby when I'm away!!

Absolutely the best pet sitter we have ever had. Went above and beyond, helping us out when we were in some serious binds. A great person and responsible house sitter that has proven his professionalism and character at every turn.
