Highlights
Pet care experience
Home Away from Home
I cared for my own two cats for over 5 years (they’ve since passed), and I’ve always loved being around animals. I’ve lived with dogs (thanks to dog-loving roommates and family) and I’ve dog-sat for friends for many years. I’m an expert cuddler, feeder, walker, and all-around caretaker. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I’ll treat them like family. I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company, we make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. I’m especially great with affectionate dogs and seniors who need a little extra care and patience. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away! (Additional note: I’m happy to board larger dogs, as long as they’re older and super mellow. As a short woman, I just want to make sure I can stay in control on walks, and with small kids at home, I’m mindful about dogs who won’t jump up or accidentally knock them over.)

Ratings and reviews
Malvika and her family were so wonderful with my big GSP dog Pip. She got so much love and exercise, I am so grateful! Thanks so much!
This was our second time leaving Momo with Malvika & her family! Momo was anxious this time & they were so understanding and helpful with her. Once again, highly recommend Malvika!
Malvika and her family took impeccable and attentive care of my aging husky pup, providing regular and detailed updates on his activity and working with us to come up with creative solutions when he seemed unwell during his stay. Can’t thank them enough or recommend them more highly to anyone looking for loving family care for their pet! I will absolutely work with them again.
Absolutely wonderful experience! Malvika took amazing care of Apollo. She sent regular updates and photos, made sure he was comfy at their home, took him on plenty of walks, and bombarded him with cuddles - Apollo was treated like their own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and that says it all. I highly recommend Malvika and will book again!
Malvika and her family were kind, friendly, welcoming, communicative and responsive! Our dog was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with the time she was there. She enjoyed the big space, yard, pack walks, and family adventures! Our dog is also on medication and Malvika was very thorough in letting us know about how it went. I highly recommend Malvika and we'll be back again!
Malvika & her family were fantastic sitters! They were very attentive with her schedule & medication & provided ample photos (all whole album worth!) + lots playtime & company for her. Highly recommend & can’t wait to have Momo stay with them again!! 🥰

Schedule
I work hybrid, so I’m home most days, and my husband is also home most days. Between the two of us, your dog will always have company and they will get lots of love & attention. We make sure pups are never left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Overnight Stays: We have two kids (5 and 2), so we need dogs who are very kid-friendly and can sleep through the night. If you’re unsure about either of those, our family might not be the right fit. Doggy Daycare: Happy to host your dog during the weekdays, and provide plenty of cuddles, company, and walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your dog will be treated like family! They’re free to roam the house, lounge on the furniture, and cuddle up with us. We have a large, almost fully fenced yard with plenty of space to explore and play (while we keep a close eye during outside time just in case). We also have great walking paths nearby for daily strolls. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or cuddle time, your pup will get lots of attention and love throughout the day.
A typical day
Whether it’s a game of fetch in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood, or just exploring new smells on a quiet trail, I love keeping dogs happy and active. We can play tug-of-war, practice a few tricks, or just enjoy some sunshine together. For the more mellow pups, I’m always up for cuddle time and a cozy nap on the couch. I tailor the fun to your dog’s energy and personality!
