Dog & Cat Care | Flexible Schedule

I truly believe pets are family and treat every dog and cat in my care with patience, love, and attention. I grew up with both dogs and cats and had my childhood dog, Misty, for 18 wonderful years. She crossed the rainbow bridge in June of 2026. I also have experience coordinating adoption events for foster pets through nonprofits, giving me hands on experience with animals of all temperaments, including rescues. As a stay-at-home mom, I offer a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, drop in visits, and long walks. I’m also comfortable administering medications and adapting to your pet’s specific needs and routine. Always happy to do meet & greets to ensure I am a good fit for your fur babies. 🐾 🤎

Makaela is amazing! She took care of my girls and their special needs for a week, and I am so thankful that I found someone who cared for and treated them as her own. She updated me daily and sent me pictures throughout the day! She was also very patient with my oldest and kept up with their routines. I truly felt comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need to leave my girls! 🥰🤍

Makaela was very quick to respond, which I really appreciated. I also loved that she offered a meet-and-greet beforehand. It was reassuring to meet her, see where our fur baby would be staying, and make sure it was a good fit. Makaela and her family were incredibly welcoming, and she kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, which gave us peace of mind. Wyatt was allowed on the furniture and got plenty of snuggles, which made us so happy. The best part was picking Wyatt up. He wasn’t overly stimulated or stressed, and while he was excited to see us and head home, he wasn’t trying to drag us out the door while we chatted. That told us he was comfortable, felt safe, and truly enjoyed his stay. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely continue booking with Makaela in the future!

She is exceptionally kind, and they adore Didi. I wholeheartedly recommend entrusting her with your beloved pet.

Kiki is an outstanding cat sitter. She was incredibly professional, communicative, and attentive to my cats' needs while I was away. She went above and beyond to ensure they were well-cared for, and her updates gave me total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who strikes such a perfect balance of being responsible and genuinely loving toward animals. Five stars!

Schedule

I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for drop ins, walks, and consistent care. I’m especially available early mornings and evenings, and I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and I always keep pets separated in my home to make sure everyone stays comfortable and stress free. I keep a clean, calm environment and keep a close eye on all pets at all times. I really try to stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I’m happy to follow whatever schedule you have for feeding, potty breaks, walks, meds, and playtime. I’m very flexible and easy to work with, just tell me what your pet needs and I’ll make it happen. I’m also totally comfortable with security cameras in the home and believe in being open and transparent. 🙂 I’ll also send photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away!
