Hello and another little re-introduction to Mal & Pals Pet Services 🐾
I’m Kate, the face behind Mal & Pals Pet Services ♥️
I started Mal & Pals late in 2021 and very quickly realised this was the job for me (about a week!) so I left my office job in March 2022, boarded a plane to New York for a week’s break and returned in my new job, with a few amazing pups waiting to build a trust with me and have great adventures!
I wanted to build a career that I genuinely loved, and working with animals was my answer.
I’m reliable, caring, trustworthy, and I absolutely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and character — because no two pets are ever the same!
At home, I’m kept busy by Bear the pug, family dogs Malibu and Blue, plus my two retired horses Beauty & Turbo 🐴 I’ve had animals of all species all my life, and I’m always happiest in the company of a pet, a cuppa, and a snack! ☕️
I’m also lucky to have Lauren as part of the Mal & Pals team 🤍
Lauren has over 7 years of experience working with dogs and is a dedicated and highly knowledgeable member of the team. She has two dogs of her own, Norah and Brian, as well as two cats, Isadora and Zeta 🐾
She has trained and competed in agility and obedience for over 13 years and holds qualifications in Canine Psychology, Canine First Aid, and Canine Nutrition, achieving Distinctions in all three through the CPD Certified Certification Service.
Lauren plays an important role within Mal & Pals, bringing a wealth of experience, calm handling skills (of the pets and me 🤣), and a genuine love for animals on every visit.
Thank you for supporting Mal & Pals and trusting us with your beloved animals 🧡
