Safety, trust & environment

I’d prefer to keep them in their current routine and schedules so they don’t don’t develop new/bad habits or have anxiety. If/when possible I follow care and instructions to a T so that your pup will feel like they’ve never left home or you aren’t around.

Information Malcom M. would like to know about your pet

If they are dog friendly, aggressive, play aggressively or they are barkers and have any anxiety/separation issues due to being apart from you, any special needs I’d need to focus on. Please no stinky pups! If they’ve not had a bath in a while I’d appreciate if you bathe them before dropping them off.

A typical day

I’ve just relocated from Texas to San Francisco- Walk/runs around the beach/trails trips to the dog park if that’s something you’re okay with. walks on the trails at near by parks and car rides if that’s something they like and you’re comfortable with

Your pups new BFF

Pet care experience

I’m very affectionate, attentive, patient and observant. I am home full time so your pup will never be left alone. I also have a pretty open and flexible schedule can pretty much available almost anytime within reason and depending on my plans! I have care experience not just for dog, but reptiles, mammals and the exotic!! I’ve grown up with animals not just dogs my entire life, I can care for reptiles and other fluffy critters as well. I have the knowledge to care for elderly dogs as well as the patience to care for and love on your young pups. I love on, cuddle and treat your pup just as if they’re my own! when house sitting my main focus will be keeping your dogs happy, healthy and safe! will do the basic around the house such as pull the bin out/in, bring in packages and mail. when it relates to other animals and task that aren't related to my rover duties there will be additional cost that we can discuss prior to my stay.

Malcolm was great with our dog. Reliable, professional, and communicative, and helped us in an emergency situation. Would definitely book again!

Malcolm was amazing, it was a first time leaving our corgi with a sitter and he really put us at ease. He took extremely good care of him and was very careful with him considering he wasn't so great with other dogs, and took extra care to walk him according to our instructions. He even helped us with some small tasks around the home while we were away. And we even came back to out home cleaner than when we left. Thank you so much Malcolm, we are so thankful to have you take care of Milo for us. We'll definitely be reaching out again very soon!

The. Best. Hands. Down. We have two Akitas about a year and a half old each, and this is the first time ever that we’ve left them with host caregivers. My wife and I took our first true multi day getaway for the first time in about eight years. We were apprehensive, not about Malcolm, but with the actual act of leaving our puppies with a stranger. in the 40+ years, we’ve had dogs, this is probably only the second time we’ve left our dogs with strangers. On our end, unfortunately, the dogs were overly anxious and were being problem children. In spite of this, Malcolm exhibited the most kind, compassionate, and caring, demeanor and behavior, above and beyond anything we would ever expect! In fact, on our last day, being away, our male pup had digestive distress, and Malcom, knew exactly what he had to do, communicated with us the entire time, took the pup to our vet, stayed with him throughout the examination, and made sure that our pup received all medications. After the appointment, he was extremely communicative, and never once throughout this whole ordeal, did he complain. He was both objective and objective, and treated our pups like they were his own. This could not have gone any better, and we have Malcolm to thank for being such an incredible caregiver!

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.
