I work from home, so I’m home the majority of the day and have a lot of flexibility for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal schedule as much as possible!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a high rise apartment with my very friendly 10 pound senior dog. My building has a large private outdoor dog park, so dogs have easy access to a safe outdoor space throughout the day. I’m also very comfortable following specific feeding, medication, crating, and care instructions.

Information Mallory M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog’s normal feeding and potty schedule, how often they need to go out, and how they do around other dogs. Since I live in an apartment, I’d also like to know if your dog tends to bark when left alone so I can plan accordingly. Please also share any medications, triggers, behaviors, or things I should keep out of reach if your dog likes to chew or get into things they shouldn’t!

A typical day

I usually take my dog outside every 3 to 4 hours, plus one or two longer walks each day. We also have a large outdoor dog park right in my building that we use regularly. I’m happy to adjust that routine based on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they’re used to at home.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have 11 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with dogs of my own, started walking dogs in my neighborhood when I was younger, and have continued pet sitting and caring for dogs ever since. I genuinely just love having them around! I work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’m able to be home with them the majority of the day and give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a 10-pound senior dog of my own who is extremely friendly with other dogs and is used to sharing his space with our visitors. I’m very comfortable with dogs who need a little extra care, too. I’ve cared for puppies all the way through senior dogs, including dogs with complex medical routines requiring multiple feedings throughout the day, oral medications, and injections. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to following feeding, medication, and care instructions, and I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to whatever routine your dog is used to at home. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your pup like I would my own and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you’re away. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your pup!

Mallory was an outstanding host for Mickey. She was communicative, attentive, and very accommodating. I would definitely use her again in the future.

She really did a great job sitting for Winston. He was really on vacation with a new great friend. Mallory has nice friendly dog that's the same age as mine. It was wonderful seeing those pictures of Winston having a great time. Thanks again Mallory.
