Safety, trust & environment

Since I have my own cat and he’s timid, I prefer to cat sit + dog sit at your house. I can do overnights, check-ins, walks, feedings. I’m a huge animal lover and extremely trustworthy and reliable, can provide pet sitting references if needed!

Information Makayla S. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to fill me in on your pet’s personality, quirks, preferences, etc prior to pet sitting. Every animal is different. :) Thank you very much.

A typical day

Whatever activities your pet likes. I would ask you beforehand. If you have toys, that’s awesome. I’d love to play with your pet. Thank you!

Cat & dog lover- flexible schedule!

Pet care experience

My schedule: I work in-office Monday & Thursday, so can only do evenings those days. Otherwise, can do up to 3 visits the other days of the week! Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a cat, and I currently have a 4-year-old cat that I adopted when he was 10 weeks. I’ve also worked as a nanny for families with pets, so caring for animals has been part of my routine for a while. For the past two years while I was living in Florida, I regularly cared for two dogs with separation anxiety who couldn’t be left alone for more than an hour. I spent about 20 hours a week with them providing companionship & playtime. When their owners were away for extended day trips, I administered their daily medication. I’m comfortable giving medication when needed and always follow care instructions extremely carefully to make sure every pet gets exactly what they need. I’m detail-oriented, patient, attentive, and adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I love animals and find it rewarding to help out with pet sitting! 🩵

Makayla is amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Sioux needed extra care with meds and lots of love while we were gone. Makayla sent pictures and stayed longer to give Sioux additional care. Will definely recommend Makayla and have her back to take care of Sioux whenever we are on vacation.
