I’m a full time student majoring in Wildlife Management & Ecology, but I still maintain a flexible calendar that allows me to reliably fit in pet care around my classes. I’m always happy to coordinate with each client to find visit times that work well for both of us, so your pet receives consistent, thoughtful care and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining a familiar, low stress environment where your pet feels safe and secure. I provide attentive care tailored to their routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and any specific needs they may have. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so I can offer care that feels comforting and consistent while you’re away!

Information Mahala P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I always like to learn about any known triggers, behavioral quirks, or signs of fear or aggression so I can provide safe and thoughtful care. It’s also essential to know about any medications your pet takes, along with dosage and timing, to make sure their routine stays consistent and their health is protected. The more I know up front, the better I can support your pet’s comfort and well being.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to meet their individual needs and energy levels. For active pets, I incorporate lots of playtime, walks, and interactive games to keep them engaged and happy. For more relaxed or introverted animals, I create a calm, cozy environment with gentle companionship, affection, and downtime. I also love weaving in light training sessions for mental stimulation and bonding. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and fulfilled while you’re away. ❤️

Animal Care Specialist 15+ Yrs Exp

Pet care experience

With over 15 years of hands on experience in pet care, I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and building trusting, meaningful relationships with them. I’m deeply passionate about animal welfare and have worked in a variety of roles including groomer, doggy daycare attendant, veterinary assistant, and dog trainer. Currently, I’m a full time student studying Wildlife Management and Ecology, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well with pet sitting. Whether you need daily walks, medication administration, or just someone to give your pet loving attention while you’re away, I offer dependable care tailored to your schedule and your pet’s unique needs. I specialize in pet sitting services that prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine. My services include: • Walks and exercise • Feeding and playtime • Medication administration • Personalized attention and companionship

Mahala loves animals so much she is getting a degree in Wildlife Management and Ecology. She's had pets her whole life, plus has extensive experience working with animals as a Veterinary Assistant and Doggie Day Care. She is responsible, caring, compassionate and loving with animals of all kinds. She is the quintessential animal magnet - when she is around a dog or cat, they sense she is a kind, fun, loving person to be with and they eagerly gravitate to her. I guarantee she will take excellent care of your beloved pet and they will be excited to see her next time too!
