Safety, trust & environment

Anytime a stranger enters your home, it can be scary. I try to make my presence known without being threatening and based on how the pet reacts, I will go from there. If they want to stay away from me the whole time that is fine. If they want lot of pets, I will give them!

Information Mallory M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog is with other dogs. If I’m taking them for a walk, I just want to be prepared on what I should do if they see other dogs. For cats, if they tend to hide, please just let me know their favorite hiding spot so I can check on them!

A typical day

I love to go on walks throughout the day for my own well being so for dogs you can expect lots of walking! If they have favorite toys and games, I am more than happy to participate. I am very used to working on a cat’s schedule, but you can expect laser pointers and lots of pets (if they’re up for it).

Pet care experience

I have had cats and dogs since I was in elementary school and I’ve always felt that a pet completes a home! I currently have three rescue cats who enjoy being loved from a distance only, but I wouldn’t trade for anything. I have volunteered at a local Humane Society and cat rescue for a few years as well as pet sat for various friends and family members throughout the years. You can rely on me to care for your animal family!

Mallory has dog-sat for us several times, and every experience has been fantastic. It’s such a relief knowing our dogs are in caring, reliable hands while we’re away. We highly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!

First time using this service and could not be happier with Mallory. My three dogs were well taken care of and I will definitely be using Mallory again.

Mallory took such good care of my doodle while I was out of town! Treated him like family, sent tons of pictures and lots of walks!
