Pet care experience
Loving Care While You're Away
Over 20+ years of experience pet sitting. Reliable and attentive sitter with proven experience providing safe, loving and structured care for dogs and cats. I am dedicated to maintaining routines, daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, etc. I can provide house sitting where your pet can stay in their own sanctuary while you are away or your pet can some and stay with me. I also can provide stop-ins where I can walk your pet at designated times that work best for you. I LOVE animals and it is very hard to find someone you can trust that will take care of your pet when you're away. I am providing this service as I know I will always treat any animal like I treat my own - like a Queen. I am an Army veteran and I have a Masters Degree in Information Technology Project Management. Why do I do this? I work remotely so getting any excuse to get out of the house to go and see a happy dog - I am there for it. Instead of dreaming about acquisitions and spreadsheets, I get to dream about dogs. How great is that? Please reach out to me if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur baby!

Ratings and reviews
Malynda takes great care of my dogs. Appreciate the photo updates, bringing in packages while house sitting, emptying the roomba, trash, bringing her dog for them to play with too.
1 star! I cannot recommend this sitter. I have security cameras throughout my home. After reviewing the recordings from every visit, I never once saw her genuinely interact with my Golden Retriever, Milo. He repeatedly brought her toys asking to play and was ignored every single time. She never petted him, never played with him, never greeted him when she arrived, and never said goodbye when she left. Most of each visit was spent sitting in a chair on her phone while Milo tried to get her attention. The only “interaction” that ever happened was the short staged video she sent through the app, which did not reflect what actually took place during the rest of the visits. She also let the door slam shut every time she came in and out of my house. Her profile photos and the pile of positive reviews create the image of someone who actually likes dogs. That image did not match what I saw on camera. These days it’s easy for people to get friends to leave glowing reviews. The only way to know what you’re actually getting is to book the sitter yourself and see what happens. In my case, the recordings show exactly what I’m describing. I would not leave my dog with her again and I would not recommend her to anyone else. I have the full recordings of every visit and stand behind every word of this review.
Malynda was great, the dogs loved her! Even Bailey, which is the hard one to please.
Malynda is wonderful! We felt so secure having her stay with Buster. She is so levelheaded and reliable — I never worried while we were away. And I confess… I’m a bit of a worrier. 5+ ⭐️s for sure!!
Malynda was great with our clan!!! She checked in a lot, sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets. I know it was a successful and great week for my pets and she sent me photos of the timid cats getting pets from her and treats!! I highly recommend her.
Malynda, has been prompt and reliable, and she and her dog have been great to my dog on walks and housesitting.
