Secret Life of a Pet Sitter — Local services in New York

If I could give Mallory fifty stars, I would. For the last year plus, she’s been a true extension of our family and used regularly for dog walks, overnights, and daycare. Need your mail checked? Plants watered? Emergency dog walk even off hours? No problem. Our dog Wiley LOVES her and always comes home clean and happy.

She’s the only person I trust with him because she vets the temperament of all the pups prior to them joining the pack. She is insured and treats Wiley as her own (individual potty walks, so many snuggles, and he even gets to sleep in her bed). It is truly as if he’s staying with the most responsible, loving and trusted friend/relative, and we’ve been so lucky to leverage this for up to two week stays.

Even with meds or picky eaters, she does whatever it takes to ensure their comfort and well being. Our home is always pristine after her visits, Wiley returns to us smelling like a rose + well-groomed, we’ve never had any key/lockbox issues and her home is immaculate. Oh, and they have a blast—Wiley literally goes on 3x the doggo adventures under her care than he would ever get at home.

Her prices are extremely fair, especially given the small group size and individual attention. A half day’s day care is only a pinch more than the standard rate of a single dog walk, so why wouldn’t you treat your furry friend to some fun?!

During COVID, she’s especially critical to our routine and maintaining both our health (distanced pickups) and sanity (last minute day cares to accommodate important work calls). Also during brooklyn’s bordatella breakout, she ensured the pups in her care stayed away from ‘strangers’ and the parks.

All in all, she’s such a pleasure to work with and we don’t know what we’d do without her. Do not hesitate to entrust her with your best pal! You’ll wonder what you ever did...

Mallory takes the BEST care of my dog, Teddy, and he absolutely adores her! She was his regular walker for months and was always reliable, punctual, and careful with Teddy and my home. Since I’ve been working from home during quarantine, I’ve been sending Teddy to daycare at her house a few days a week and he LOVES it - runs to the door when he sees her, recognizes the other dogs on the street, and comes home happy and tired. (She’s also super careful about socially-distanced pick up and...

My pup Blythe LOVES Mallory aka Secret Life of a Pet Sitter. Blythe is a rescue and very particular about who she trusts, but Mallory put me at ease right away. She is an amazing caretaker and I can spend my day worry-free knowing that my pup is in good hands. Blythe always comes home clean, tired, and happy. I’ve done both daycare and long term boarding with Mallory. Both experiences have been more than I could ask for! She loves Blythe like she’s her own dog. I would recommend...
