Pet care experience

Home away from home 🏡🐶🐱

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and horses—so I’m confident working with pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly enjoy meeting new furry friends and will care for your pet as if they were my own. My beloved English Cocker Spaniel, Pippa, crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022, leaving me with both the time and heart to welcome new pets into my home for sitting, daycare, or boarding. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 6 years old—starting with my own pets and later helping friends and neighbors. I’ve offered professional pet care services since 2022. I’d love the chance to provide your pet with a safe, loving, and fun environment!

Mallika took great care of our dog. She updated often and sent pictures of how comfortable Wrigley was in her home away from home.

My dogs loved their stay! Mallika was kind and understanding to my pets. She was very communicative through pics and videos and text updates. She was even kind to my one dog during a thunderstorm (he hates storms).

We absolutely love Mallika and the wonderful care she provides for our dog. We have used her two times now and we can leave our pet with the confidence in knowing he is well loved and taken care of. Mallika is very flexible and easy to work with as well.

Safety, trust & environment

MY HOME: I live in a spacious home with plenty of room for your pet and their belongings. While my yard is unfenced, I do have a secure, fenced-in dog run along the side of the house that I use for quick potty breaks or during inclement weather. Multiple daily walks are part of my regular routine. MEDICAL I have experience with administering medications, including pills, drops, and injections. MEET & GREETS: I’m happy to do meet & greets if it helps you and your pet feel more comfortable. These can be arranged based on the type of service: Boarding/Daycare: Meet at my home Sitting: Meet at or near your home. I’ve successfully completed bookings both with and without a meet & greet, so I leave it up to you based on what feels right.

A typical day

I love going on walks, and I’m lucky to live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood—perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. At home, I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved. Whether it’s cuddle time on the sofa, playtime to keep them engaged, or just hanging out together, I’m all about making sure your pet feels right at home.
