Friends Of Paws Everywhere

Malcolm: I have had both cats and dogs since I was born. All of them rescues, and there has been a lot of them. Not only have I cared for my own animals, but I was always the go-to family member when someone needed help. I have learned a lot over the years and I would say I have a kinship with animals. Elvira: I have had 20+ years having cats, dogs and birds, and as a trained Naturpath I am always on top of helping them heal naturally. I am also an animal communicator and enjoy connecting on a deeper level with all animals. In my experience, I have found that each animal is unique in their own way with a specific personality and purpose. They all bring a different meaning as to why they are with us and have so much to teach us. I also have experience administering subcutaneous fluids and oral medications.

Safety, trust & environment

Well we have 2 cats and a dog of our own, and they are quite friendly, so at our home - it would depend on the animal. As far as the clients home, we are both available to help. Malcolm can stay over if needed, but we can both drop in.

Malcolm & Elvira did an amazing job looking after our cats 😁 they played with them & gave them lots of pets, they also checked in frequently & sent pictures and videos. I will definitely be reaching out to them again if we need cat sitters! 10/10

Malcolm was great. He went above and beyond for our sweet doggy and sent us tons of pictures and information while we were away. Would definitely recommend!

When it comes to leaving our fur babies, we all know that agonizing feeling of anxiety and dread. Thankfully there are five star pet sitters like Malcolm who is worth his weight in gold! In the excitement of booking a long awaited trip for a family reunion and Carnival in Trinidad, it suddenly dawned upon us that our 'goodest' boy Crusoe would not be able to make that trip with us. Malcolm made our trip possible with his calm demeanour and genuine love and affection for Crusoe. We were updated every day with photos and videos of Crusoe playing with his favourite toys, going for walks and snuggling up at night under his blanket watching TV. Malcolm was always contactable and responded immediately to any questions or concerns we had, knowing that he was looking after Crusoe gave us peace of mind to enjoy our family vacation. We returned to a neat and tidy home and most importantly a happy, bouncy goldie who has clearly made a best friend for life! My family and I are very grateful to Malcolm for the care, attention and love he showered upon Crusoe. Even our neighbours commented on how polite and caring Malcolm was. My family and I realise how fortunate we are to have met someone as trustworthy and reliable as Malcolm, but most importantly was his honesty. When Crusoe had an upset tummy and diarrhea, Malcolm immediately let us know what was happening. He followed all our instructions, monitored Crusoe and kept us updated. He assured us that it was just Crusoe missing us as he had experienced the same thing with his dogs. Turns out he was right as Crusoe has been as right as rain since we got back. Thank you doesn't seem to express just how grateful we are to Malcolm. All we can say is 'welcome to the pack' as Crusoe wasn't the only person who made a friend for life.

It is very easy to jump in and help. Between the 2 of us, we are both almost always available. We both work from home and if one person can't make it, the other one can.

If they are friendly with other dogs. It is not a dealbreaker as we have, and have had dogs, that are very protective of us and our family, so we have experience. Any health issues are good to know too, and routine. It is easy to learn about them pretty fast and what their needs are.
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.
