Safety, trust & environment

For drop-ins and home visits, I am very respectful of my clients' homes; I'm amenable to any restrictions and will remain in community areas unless otherwise instructed. As communicative as you want me to be! I'm more happy to send pictures of our full day of play, or just some evening updates if you have a busy work trip to focus on.

Information Mallory S. would like to know about your pet

General behavior and how they may interact with a new person. Any necessary medications and how they are to be administered is especially helpful, as well as any quirks regarding food or treats. Preferred toys are a must!

A typical day

I love to provide a day of fun and play with all furry clients! Happy to stick to a well-known route or head off the beaten path to experience something new to them! PLEASE tell me their favorite toys!! My cat is a string toy fiend, but I love a good tennis ball or laser pointer. Also happy to just provide a warm lap to your lap-pets who need a little extra attention.

Pet care experience

I've been a pet owner and lover my whole life! Originally from Norfolk, I've moved to Fairfax for school and stayed! I currently am the proud owner of one unbelievably high-energy 3 y/o cat and a ~13 y/o yellow-bellied slider named Turtle Joe. Somewhat experienced with reptile care, if that's a plus for you 😉 Also experienced in senior pet care. My parents have 13y/o and 16y/o dogs who I've grown up with and LOVE to coddle on my visits! Let me give your senior pets all the love and attention they deserve <3

Mallory has dog sat our golden retriever twice now, and has done an amazing job each time. Our dog loves Mallory, which we can tell through the pictures she provides each visit. She is detailed in what took place with the visit and is very caring for our dog each time. She gives loving attention and treats our dog as if she were her own.

Thank you so much Mallory!! She did a great job giving my cat and bunnies love and care while we were away! She was friendly and patient with us (the owners, lol) We love the pictures and notes she sent. I would love to have Mallory back to help us out 🙏🏻
