Personalized care for your dog or cat - Malcolm
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Malcolm
“La Tasha treated my dog with care. She kept me updated me with photos and videos that helped put my mind at ease on his first overnight with her. I would absolutely rebook. Thank you!”
“Lily was phenomenal! We felt so at ease throughout the entire process from meet-and-greet to pick-up. Her house is a dog’s dream vacation destination. She truly centers dogs’ well-being in everything she does, from the daily schedule to the layout of her home, you can tell she has dogsitting down to a science! Not to mention, she kept us updated throughout the day on how Stuart was doing, with both pictures & videos! Her attention to detail and organization is truly impeccable. I was so impressed throughout the week. We are so thankful to have such a trusted and reliable place for our dog Stuart to have the best time and most care whenever we’re away. Thank you 1 million, Lily! Would give you six stars if I could!”
“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception. Even as an anxious dog, his short vacation with them left him a l little bummed out to be leaving! For a caring and devoted animal lover to watch over your own, look no further! Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”
“Great communication the entire week we were out of town. Sent pictures & helped get our mostly unsocialized pup more comfortable around other dogs! Felt way more comfortable boarding our dog on a small scale like this versus a large company. Will definitely use Kelly again for any future boarding needs!”
“My 2 fur babies stayed with Dee for a weekend. The girl whom is the youngest is super hyper & very feisty & the boy just wants to play with his ball but have occasional anxiety like most pups. . Dee is awesome, she was extremely patient with my two poodles and sent me daily updates on their feedings, walks, daily behavior, etc. I was a little worried when I dropped them off but Dee made me feel more comfortable after she sent me updates & assured me they were doing well. After picking them up, my fur babies were happy & relaxed. I will definitely use Dee J. services again.”
“We left our two dogs with Gio and Vanessa for 5 days and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Gio sent daily video updates during walks to let us know how things were going and it was obvious how much he enjoyed having them around. Not to mention they were willing to work with us on extremely short notice immediately after returning from their own family vacation. We’re very grateful and won’t hesitate to book again next time we need a sitter.”
“Tanita and Terrance were the best! My dog loved every moment he spent with them. They fostered a very safe environment and always communicated about my dog's well-being. I would definitely use them again ❤️”
“Chelle was very attentive to Joey and made sure that he felt loved as well as at home. She communicated with us each day even twice a day! I am so glad that I decided to use this service for my Joey!!!! Thank you Chelle, I so appreciate you!!!”
“Monica did an excellent job caring for our pups. She provided daily pictures and reports to provide us with status updates. It is clear she has a passion and great patience for dogs. One of our pups didn't want to come home lol! Highly recommend and would use her again in the future.”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Gucci had a great time as always and the daily updates including pictures is an exceptional value added to his stay and my comfort with his 2nd home 😁. He is taken great care of and I am worry free the entire time.”
“Thank you for making my first experience with this app such a positive one! As a fairly new pet parent, I had never used this app and didn’t know what to expect. Beauty was very responsive, sent videos and updates, and I could tell my dog really loved his time there. Will absolutely book again.”
About: I have several years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and am very comfortable with them all. I tend to walk slower and let the dogs stop and take time when walking to let them smell and pause for longer I’m am currently working full time while going to school I have time in the evenings after 5pm on the weekdays and have time on the weekend to watch your baby I also have plenty of yard space and a trail for the perfect walk to let your dog explore and smell all the things I will follow all the rule that you have set out for your pet while treating them like my own and giving them a ton of love and praise for the good pup or kitty I know them to be.
“Taylor was wonderful as always! I’ve left my fur baby with her and her mom on several occasions and I have been pleased every time! I can tell from the photos and videos Taylor sends to me, my Sweetie had a ball! I can highly recommend Taylor! Your fur baby is safe with her!”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”

“She was super awesome as a sitter. I was well informed on the status of my 2 little ones. She sent photos regularly and I slept well at night knowing they was in her car. I’ll definitely be utilizing her services again and recommend her to others.”

“Aleyah promptly responded to my last minute request. She’s communicative, and made sure that my cat is taken care of (Food, water and litter box). My cat loved her, I HEARD HER PURRRing on the phone!💙💚 Thank you Aleyah 😻”
“The best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. I never worry while I am away. Reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communications!”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
“Nel was wonderful with our kitties while we were away for several long weekends. She provided lots of updates, pics, and was easy to get in touch with. We could tell she cared and even got our shy cats to warm up to her and play and take treats from her. :) would book again with Nel!”
“Destiny was on time, provided details about her care of my Fancee and pictures. I really appreciate how she handled Fancee with her minor leg injury and just how professional she was. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”

“Max was an exceptional pet sitter. He’s by far the best we’ve had on Rover so far. He was punctual and highly communicative. It was a relief to know that our furry family member was well cared for while we were away. Max sent lots of pictures and gave detailed updates. We will be using him for all of our future pet sitting needs”
“Trisha was great and I would absolutely recommend!!! She took care of our 3 indoor cats and 1 outdoor cat while we were out of town for almost a week. 2 of them are seniors, 1 of which has kidney disease, so I worry about leaving them. I received pictures of the cats twice a day and the litter boxes were so clean when we got home. I feel relieved knowing we have someone like Trisha to care for our kitties when we have to go away!”

About: I've been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I raised a kitten who grew into a happy, healthy cat and cared for her for over three years. My family also has two dogs, a Pit Bull and a Pit Bull/Bully mix, and we've had them for over six years. Being responsible for their care has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I have experience caring for both kittens and puppies since I helped raise the pets I've owned from a young age. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds and am not intimidated by larger dogs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. As a pet sitter, I will provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I'm currently away from college for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. As a student-athlete, I'm used to being responsible, active, and managing my time well. When I'm not on the soccer field, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I can provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm experienced with both cats and dogs, including large breeds, and I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment. I will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect that I give my own. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Amanda was wonderful! My two cats, who are normally shy, warmed up to her within a day or so, and were well taken care of while I was away. Amanda was very communicative throughout the week of her drop-ins, and was also respectful of my home. I felt that my babies were in good hands. Thank you, Amanda!”
About: I have grown up around pets, both cats and dogs and helped care for both. I truly love animals and spending time with them, they bring so much joy. I would love to help support you & your pet! I currently work fairly part time and can be quite flexible. I am a licensed social worker and provide therapy in Fredericksburg and through telehealth which gives me a lot more flexibility in my schedule.

About: I've been in veterinary medicine for 12 years. I am comfortable around all pets, no matter the breed or personality. I have two giant breed diggitys and I understand how hard it is to find safe care for your fur babies. We live in a noise free environment , zero cars, zero sirens etc. I am fear free certified and can handle nervous nellies and their needs very well. I'm currently working remotely and homeschool. The house is full of good energy. Since we have children and other pets/animals we are up as early as 5am in the morning and last walks are around 8p. If it is a weekend and we are staying up later in the night than walks could be as late as 10pm. It does depend on the pet also. My dogs are pet friendly however because of their size some other dogs don't take to them. My personal dogs have their own room and crate. We have multiple free spaces for up to 10 dogs small and or 5 dogs small/medium large. We live on 73 acres with 4 hiking trails. The dogs and ducks definitely get their exercise. If you have a senior pet or a pet that does better away from children or other pets, we can accommodate that as well. I am currently working remotely with some days in clinic. Between myself and my nephew someone is always home. We also homeschool so the house is always active. We have tons of space so if your pet doesn't do well with "active" we can accommodate that as well. With all the land and space we can easily go on 4-5 mile scenic walks. We can also let dogs who have name recall roam free (supervised). We live on 73 acres, very secluded. Our noise level is zero. There aren't cars driving by, sirens etc. We have a few hiking trails that have been cleared. We also have a room specific for dog sitting in our home. We can make it feel like home or have the approach of a normal boarder. We do ask that all pets are at minimum rabies vaccinated. This is the only vaccine legally required in the state of Maryland. We also ask that for boarding , you provide a favorite toy and t-shirt to help minimize anxiety and stress. We have calming plug ins in certain areas of the house to help decrease anxiety as well.

I am home full time and I very rarely leave the house. I live on an 9 acre farm so your pup will have so much room to run! I can keep them leashed if you prefer and I will love to walk them!

About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, so I’m used to some chaotic pet energy. :) I like to play and create a bond with pets. My main focus is making them feel comfortable with the experience. I work full time, but I’m home often so I can work around my schedule when needed. I enjoy just hanging out with the pets but I can also go on an adventure with them if needed to get that energy out! I’ve had many puppies and kittens in my day so I know how to work with them and help potty train if needed. Right now I have two small girl dogs who are super friendly and just want more friends in their lives! They love cats and dogs alike.
About: I've been in veterinary medicine for 12 years. I am comfortable around all pets, no matter the breed or personality. I have two giant breed diggitys and I understand how hard it is to find safe care for your fur babies. We live in a noise free environment , zero cars, zero sirens etc. I am fear free certified and can handle nervous nellies and their needs very well. I'm currently working remotely and homeschool. The house is full of good energy. Since we have children and other pets/animals we are up as early as 5am in the morning and last walks are around 8p. If it is a weekend and we are staying up later in the night than walks could be as late as 10pm. It does depend on the pet also. My dogs are pet friendly however because of their size some other dogs don't take to them. My personal dogs have their own room and crate. We have multiple free spaces for up to 10 dogs small and or 5 dogs small/medium large. We live on 73 acres with 4 hiking trails. The dogs and ducks definitely get their exercise. If you have a senior pet or a pet that does better away from children or other pets, we can accommodate that as well. I am currently working remotely with some days in clinic. Between myself and my nephew someone is always home. We also homeschool so the house is always active. We have tons of space so if your pet doesn't do well with "active" we can accommodate that as well. With all the land and space we can easily go on 4-5 mile scenic walks. We can also let dogs who have name recall roam free (supervised). We live on 73 acres, very secluded. Our noise level is zero. There aren't cars driving by, sirens etc. We have a few hiking trails that have been cleared. We also have a room specific for dog sitting in our home. We can make it feel like home or have the approach of a normal boarder. We do ask that all pets are at minimum rabies vaccinated. This is the only vaccine legally required in the state of Maryland. We also ask that for boarding , you provide a favorite toy and t-shirt to help minimize anxiety and stress. We have calming plug ins in certain areas of the house to help decrease anxiety as well.
“I appreciate Lillian for being reliable for taking care of my rover dog. She arrived on time to walk Edie on a holiday evening, followed instructions for dog care, took a couple of photos, and issued a rover report on Edie’s activities. I would recommend her service and we rebook her when needed.”

“Lily was phenomenal! We felt so at ease throughout the entire process from meet-and-greet to pick-up. Her house is a dog’s dream vacation destination. She truly centers dogs’ well-being in everything she does, from the daily schedule to the layout of her home, you can tell she has dogsitting down to a science! Not to mention, she kept us updated throughout the day on how Stuart was doing, with both pictures & videos! Her attention to detail and organization is truly impeccable. I was so impressed throughout the week. We are so thankful to have such a trusted and reliable place for our dog Stuart to have the best time and most care whenever we’re away. Thank you 1 million, Lily! Would give you six stars if I could!”
“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception. Even as an anxious dog, his short vacation with them left him a l little bummed out to be leaving! For a caring and devoted animal lover to watch over your own, look no further! Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”
“Great communication the entire week we were out of town. Sent pictures & helped get our mostly unsocialized pup more comfortable around other dogs! Felt way more comfortable boarding our dog on a small scale like this versus a large company. Will definitely use Kelly again for any future boarding needs!”
“My 2 fur babies stayed with Dee for a weekend. The girl whom is the youngest is super hyper & very feisty & the boy just wants to play with his ball but have occasional anxiety like most pups. . Dee is awesome, she was extremely patient with my two poodles and sent me daily updates on their feedings, walks, daily behavior, etc. I was a little worried when I dropped them off but Dee made me feel more comfortable after she sent me updates & assured me they were doing well. After picking them up, my fur babies were happy & relaxed. I will definitely use Dee J. services again.”
“We left our two dogs with Gio and Vanessa for 5 days and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Gio sent daily video updates during walks to let us know how things were going and it was obvious how much he enjoyed having them around. Not to mention they were willing to work with us on extremely short notice immediately after returning from their own family vacation. We’re very grateful and won’t hesitate to book again next time we need a sitter.”
“Tanita and Terrance were the best! My dog loved every moment he spent with them. They fostered a very safe environment and always communicated about my dog's well-being. I would definitely use them again ❤️”
“Chelle was very attentive to Joey and made sure that he felt loved as well as at home. She communicated with us each day even twice a day! I am so glad that I decided to use this service for my Joey!!!! Thank you Chelle, I so appreciate you!!!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Gucci had a great time as always and the daily updates including pictures is an exceptional value added to his stay and my comfort with his 2nd home 😁. He is taken great care of and I am worry free the entire time.”
“Taylor was wonderful as always! I’ve left my fur baby with her and her mom on several occasions and I have been pleased every time! I can tell from the photos and videos Taylor sends to me, my Sweetie had a ball! I can highly recommend Taylor! Your fur baby is safe with her!”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”
“Liz took great care of my whippet, Aster. Liz communicated and sent pictures regularly. My dog will be going back to Liz's for a 2 week stay in March. I highly recommend Liz!”
“Amanda is the best! She’s watched my dog twice now and has given her such care and affection. You can tell she’s truly a pet lover. She even went above and beyond to make sure Gracie was taken care of on short notice; which I really appreciate.”
“Hands down to Erwin & Christina in taking great care of our fur baby Dashi during his overnight stay! From the start of conversation to the meet & greet, they made us feel comfortable leaving Dashi with them and provided us with updates, pictures and video. Highly recommended, look no further! You guys will be our go to for future service(s) from now on. Thank you again!”
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
