About Mallory D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe that every pet is part of your family, because that’s how I have treated every pet I’ve had throughout my lifetime. It is important to keep a clean environment for every pet, cleaning water bowls and food bowls daily, cleaning cages out when they smell bad or are visibly dirty (sometimes animals make messes that need to be cleaned up before their regular cleaning day), deep cleaning litter boxes biweekly, cleaning any pet beds/linens immediately after they get soiled among other things.
Information Mallory D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your pet has any medical issues or behavioral issues so I can prepare myself and our activities accordingly. There is nothing wrong with a dog that does not get along with other dogs but it is something I need to know in advance so I can plan our walks and activities accordingly. I also need to know if your dog is a bite risk, I know that some dogs when overwhelmed or scared will bite, and I would like extra time introducing myself to them with you around to make sure they are comfortable with me before I take care of them.
A typical day
I love to play with animals, so if they have a favorite toy or activity I would love to know! I enjoy taking long walks but I don’t like to walk alone so having a dog, cat or other animal to walk with makes it more fun to walk since I’ll have someone to chat with! I know pet enrichment is so important for your pet’s mental and physical health!

Pet care experience
I know how important your pet is to you, I’ve had many pets throughout my life and have loved every one of them with all my heart. Pets are family, so I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I have experience with a variety of different pets including, dogs (large and small), cats (all ages), guinea pigs, mice, gerbils, rats, ferrets, rabbits, chickens, budgies, pigeons, snakes, turtles, lizards and a variety of fish. I think it is important to get to know any animal I am taking care of before you are traveling so having a meet and greet with both you and your pet is important for me to feel comfortable taking care of your pets while you are gone. Also a list of any medical issues, specific feeding needs (food aggression, slow feeder), issues with other animals (especially for dogs while walking, I need to know their nemesis so I can avoid them), vet contact info, favorite toys and treats and anything else you need me to know. I want to be able to take care of your pets to your standards! I am super excited to make new animal friends!
Cat care experience
Mallory also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Mallory was fantastic! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay and took the time to really understand both of our dog’s unique needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Mallory D. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
I'm so at ease when Mallory sits for my geriatric kitties. They are well-cared for as is my home. Great to have such confidence when I travel!
Fantastic as always, will look for Mallory first whenever we have to leave town.
