Mallory was great to work with. She was very responsive with communication, offered a meet and greet with myself and my animals, and sent a lot of photos of them when I was gone. I would 100% hire her again to care for my animals!

Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!

Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and house while we on vacation. She came for a meet and greet before, meeting our fear-reactive pit-retriever mix and rough collie, spending plenty of time to interact with them and ask questions. She sent messages and pictures with updates. I definitely will be requesting her again.

About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.

In short, Mallory is awesome. This is the first time we worked with her to take care of our dog and our daughter’s dog. Mallory came over a couple of weeks before our scheduled care to meet Hank. She had never met Koda because my daughter lives out of state. They both loved her. Mallory sent pictures, videos and messages of their activities which we really appreciated but did not expect! Her communication, passion and love for our pups is nothing short of incredible. Mallory will be our go to person going forward. Thank you Mallory❤️

Mallory did an amazing job caring for Josie and my home. It's the first time I've had a house sitter and pet sitter. Mallory made sure to send me updates and pictures all three days she spent with Josie. She made sure Josie was walked according to her schedule (even in the rain). I will reach out again for either daily or extended services. Thanks, Mallory! You are awesome!
