About: I have been caring for pets since I was 13 years old. I regularly walked my neighbor's dog whenever she needed assistance, and I stepped in to help my friends with their pets during emergencies. My love for animals and commitment to their well-being have always been a priority for me. I am available throughout the week, except on weekends, and I can offer boarding, day care and walk services during that time. I will have plenty of time to care for your pup and ensure they receive the attention and love they deserve! I will make sure to take your dog for walks regularly. If you have a specific time frame for their walks, I can accommodate that. Additionally, if your pup enjoys playing, I'll be more than happy to engage with them and ensure they have a fun and active time!

About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.
“April was so helpful in providing day care for our collie, Cassie, while we were in town for vacation. She was flexible and willing to work around our schedule. We were able to take our kids to a water park, and Cassie had a fun play date and trip to the dog park. All of us came home exhausted and happy, ready for the next leg of our journey. Thanks April!”

Mallory R.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Mallory as a pet sitter and walker on Rover. She has a natural connection with animals and treats every pet as if they were their own. I've seen firsthand how patient, responsible, and genuinely caring she is—qualities that are essential when working with animals and their families. Mallory is dependable and attentive to detail, whether it's sticking to a pet's feeding schedule, administering medications, or simply giving them the time, play, and affection they need. She also communicates clearly and consistently, which gives peace of mind to any pet owner. Anyone who books with Mallory can feel confident their pets are in loving and capable hands. She is exactly the kind of trustworthy, compassionate person you'd want caring for your furry family members.”
