Safety, trust & environment

I ensure that your pet stays comfortable in your own home by respecting their space and boundaries at all times. If you have a pet that is a bit shy towards new people, I do my best to give them space and not overwhelm them with my presence. I will stick to any schedule you may have to ensure that your pet has an easy transition while you are away.

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I am a teacher & dog mama who is looking to keep busy this summer and help take care of your fur babies! I have been helping take care of pets and house-sitting for over 8 years. I’ve had both dogs and a cat as pets so I am very familiar & comfortable with them. I have experience with caring for dogs starting at 8 weeks up until their senior years, so I know how important it is to stick to a schedule when it comes to potty breaks or medication.

Makayla went above and beyond for us as a sitter. She accepted a rush booking and took the time to do a meet and greet before we left. We ended up with cancelled flights and she was kind enough to stay with our pets a few extra days. She sent pictures every day, kept us updated, and was very kind and professional in her communication. She took excellent care of our two dogs and two cats as well as our house while we were away. I can’t thank her enough for coming through for us and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. -Anna
