Pet care experience

Crazy cat lady but loves the doggie

Hello, My name is Machalia and with my love for animals, knowledge from being a veterinary tech for over 10 years and in the pet care field for over 12 years; I would love to take care of your cuddle buddy! I have pet sit for just about every type of animal from cats/dogs, to chickens, to pet hamsters and even your lizards friends! Although everyone i know would call me the crazy cat lady (because i have many of my own) I have love for all different types of pets! I can clip nails, give medicine, take glucose levels, and many more things for all of our friends young or old! Just let me know what you need and I’m here to help! I can’t wait to share my love with your pet! SN I have experienced with all size dogs big or small, also aggressive dogs/cats (just be upfront about them)

Machalia went above and beyond while taking care of our cats, Bolt and Ali. She was in constant communication while we were out of town and even let us know that Bolt was not enjoying the flavor of food we left. What did she do after letting us know, she went out to the store and got him more of the flavor he was eating with cash from her own pocket. I believe very few people would bring that level of commitment and dedication. She ensured Bolt always had his medicine on time and gave Ali plenty of love. We would 100% recommend Machalia to anyone who needs a house sitter for their cats.

Machalia is absolutely amazing. Trust me, you want her as your pet sitter! She’s a vet tech, so she understands animals needs/behaviors, can administer medication, and is incredibly reliable. Machalia watched our seizure-prone, 18-year-old cat and I cannot imagine anyone else taking better care of her. She was responsive, communicative, and on top of everything. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Machalia was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was extremely attentive and communicative, sending me regular updates along with plenty of pictures of them having fun and enjoying their walk. She showed so much respect and genuine care, paying attention to every detail of their routine. I came home to happy, relaxed pups who were clearly comfortable and stress-free after being with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!

Machalia house sat for us again over a long weekend and took care of our girl Lovie. She took great care of Lovie and the house, treating both with care. We got regular updates and pictures and she even took care of a couple household issues while we were away. We will for sure use her again.
