Mallory took great care of our pets! She was on time, communicative and left detailed notes from all of her visits. Loved hearing about the silly antics our cat and dog got into! The pets seemed happy and healthy when we got home. And she shared sweet pics of each visit! Thanks for taking such good care of Atti and Archie!

Mallory did an amazing job with my high energy black lab mix Clyde. He can be a lot to handle, but she want him over very quickly and followed a lot of detailed instructions perfectly. He had a great weekend and came back tired. Wouldn’t hesitate to book Mallory again.

Mallory was wonderful! She sat with my pup while I was out (he’s an escape artist) and made the process so easy. I would 100% recommend her.

Mallory did an amazing job with our drop-in visits! She took wonderful care of our Frenchie and English Bull Terrier and was incredibly reliable and patient with both boys. She did everything we asked of her, and it was clear they absolutely loved her. We really appreciated that she was always on time, communicated consistently, and sent great picture updates that gave us peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Mallory! 🐾

Mallory was a wonderful sitter for Peaches! Peaches absolutely goes feral for fetch so I was happy to see Mallory playing fetch with her. She sent me multiple pictures during her stay and I can tell Peaches was very comfortable and happy.

A typical day

I love to take long walks, especially around the neighborhood parks. After tiring out, spending time chilling on the couch is right up my alley!

Please let me know of any behavioral quirks, favorite snacks, or typical routines ahead of time! It's important we go over any details that will set us up for a good stay. We recently adopted a tripod lab (March 2026)— he has been nothing but sweet, but since we’re still getting to know him, a meet and greet will be needed before any boarding!
