Information Malcolm A. would like to know about your pet

In a perfect world it's easiest to provide for well behaved dogs who integrate easily with their surroundings. But its not always a perfect world. Adjustments are important.

A typical day

A typical day involves staying engaged with your pet. I'm there to provide them with the attention they deserve in your absence. Exercise is an important element of any daily routine. Regular walks, keep away, fetch, and playful banter in general are all part of it. With a vigilant eye on their well being at all times. Is it overly hot, or cold, are they properly hydrated, and nourished. Do they need a break, including food, potty, or poop break. Attention, attention, attention ... to detail.

Malcolm was attentive, showed up on time and tired out my dogs on their walks

We had not tried a house/dog sitter before, and were very lucky to have met Malcolm. Our dog Molly is a little bit rambunctious, and she took to Malcolm immediately. He kept her on her food and exercise routine and sent pictures of her activities to us while we were gone. I felt like the communication was fantastic, Molly was well cared for, and my home was in better condition than when we left. What more could you ask for?

Outstanding care for our dogs and attention to detail. Excellent status updates and communication. Will certainly use Malcom again when we need his services.

Malcolm accepted my house sitting request for the holidays with only six days notice. As a first time Rover user, I was very pleased with his services. He sent me pictures every day, communicated with me and I felt very comfortable with him in my home watching my dog and cats. I was grateful to spend Christmas with family and come home to a spotless house! Malcolm did a fabulous job!! I will be using him again!

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.
