Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m a full-time hybrid student, which means I have a flexible schedule and am only away for short periods of time during the day. I’m able to plan my classes and study time around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention and interaction. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to each day. I make time for play, walks, enrichment, and quiet companionship depending on the pet’s needs. Because I’m home frequently, I’m able to maintain routines and provide a steady presence rather than long stretches of absence.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household preferences. I am very respectful of others’ homes and treat each space with the same care I would expect for my own. I keep things clean, secure doors and windows, and maintain open communication throughout the stay. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home exactly as you left it.

Information Makayla P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any specific needs, medical conditions, allergies, or takes medication so I can provide the best possible care. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and keep routines consistent to help your pet feel comfortable and safe. I’d also love to know what your pet enjoys most! Whether they love fetch, enrichment toys, belly rubs, long walks, or quiet cuddle time, understanding their personality helps me tailor their care and make their time with me fun and stress-free.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet will be full of attention, enrichment, and lots of love! I enjoy using puzzle toys, treat games, and interactive play to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy. For dogs, I love going on long walks and can even go for a run if they’re high-energy and enjoy it. I’m also very happy with chill, low-key pets. I love cozy time just as much as playtime, whether that’s relaxing on the couch, reading or studying nearby, or giving plenty of cuddles and calm companionship. For cats, I offer interactive play sessions and can even take harness-trained kitties on safe outdoor walks! I always adjust to your pet’s personality and energy level, so they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

Reliable & Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my combination of experience, safety awareness, and genuine love for animals. I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and fish, so I’m comfortable managing diverse household pet needs and following detailed care routines. I have experience administering oral medications, caring for pets during minor illnesses, and working with animals who have anxiety or behavioral challenges. I’m observant and attentive to subtle changes in behavior, which helps me respond quickly and responsibly if something seems off. In addition to pet care experience, I have a strong background in health and safety. I’ve worked in safety-focused environments and am CPR/First Aid trained, so I prioritize safe routines, secure handling, and proactive communication at all times. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, which makes me a great match for high-energy dogs who need engaging walks and enrichment. Whether your pet needs long walks, structured playtime, or calm companionship, I can tailor my approach to their individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trust. I provide consistent updates with photos and videos, so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.

Makayla checked in on our two dogs when we were out of town. Her communication was great and everything went smoothly. We will definitely keep her in mind for future help with the pups.

Makayla LOVES pets and caring for them. She has had pets her entire life and loves caring for them. We just adopted a cat recently together, and she knows anything and everything there is to know about pets. She has been a trusted pet sitter her whole life and is very reliable when it comes to cats and dogs. She goes above and beyond for all of her animals and I would trust her with any pet in the whole wide world!
