Pet care experience
My passion & love for animals has been alive in my heart since the day I could remember. I’ve had dogs all my life but this recent pack we’ve gained over the years has been what’s truly sparked my desire to work more w/ animals. Together with my mother, we’ve fostered and rescued many dogs, 3 of which ended up staying. My soft spot is disabled dogs as 1 of ours is blind, one is deaf & another has a bad leg she can’t use. That being said, I’m comfortable w/ all breeds, ages, sizes and drool!
Reviews
Mallory took fantastic care of both my dogs and my house while I was away. While I can't say enough about the care she gave my dogs and her regular updates (and pictures), I want to focus on how above and beyond any expectations when it came to caring for my home. About midway through my trip, my sinks in my bathroom began to overflow due to a combination of a clog in the line and AC condensate draining. Not only did she promptly inform me of the problem, but she took on some trouble shooting, had to clean up a soaking floor several times before I was able to get a quality plumber to the house, and even provided the name of a good plumber after the first one I hired did nothing to fix the problem. Had I had just about anyone else staying at my home I likely would have come home early to deal with the issue. Thanks to Mallory I came home at my planned time to happy dogs, a dry house, and all towels that were used in the clean up process washed and folded.
Thank you mallory for walking my girl today! Loved the after photos and summary of the walk!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I make sure theres nothing laying around that they get into, change their water bowls frequently, I check their body for any abnormalities, cuts, ticks, etc and I always make sure they feel so loved while their loved one is away.
Home
Information Mallory B. would like to know about your pet
I always want to ensure the comfort of any animal in my care and with that means understanding and respecting their boundaries. I like to know what can trigger, frighten, or set them off so I know what situations to avoid or prepare for. That includes how they enjoy playing, being pet, taking a bath, etc.
A typical day
I am very big on play time and enjoy being outside and being active with the pet. When walking dogs, I like to make sure that he/she walks by my side and not the one walking me! I also believe that after lots of playing, a little cuddles and love is definitely needed. I like rewarding good behavior with a little treat. My dogs sit at the door, bark once, or slightly scratch the door when they need to go out, but in cases where I'm watching someone else's pet, I like to take them out every 1-2 hours or if the dog is trained, whenever he/she let's me know they need to go out.

Availability
I currently work part time but have a lot of flexibility and would love to fill in my free time with pups! I also have been with Wag for about 4 years where I’ve completed over 200 walks and recently started with a smaller business called Shady Waggers where I work about 3 days a week, 3-4 walks a day. That can change based on my availability. I’m open to last minute bookings but a few days notice is preferred.
