Are you looking for affordable premium pet care? How does 24 hr service for the base price $4.16 an hour sound? Does your pet need to have access to a person for comfort at all times? Would receiving very frequent updates so you can see the condition of your pet make your time away from your pet less worrisome? If this sounds like your situation, I would be honored to alleviate your worries. (P.s. if you are booking for a pet that is not a cat or a dog. All animals other than dogs are booked as a cat.) My name is Makayla Trueblood. I am 24 years old and I have always been passionate about animal care. I am a 24 hour full service pet nanny and I would be honored to keep your pet company and do my best to make them the happiest I can. Pet nannying is my full time career and my passion. I am available for pet nannying every day of the year including holidays. I treat every pet like they are my own family—gentle, patient, and attentive to their routines. I am always extremely respectful of my clients’ homes and work hard to keep everything tidy and cared for while you’re away. I also offer “honey do list” services while you’re away (cleaning, raking, painting, etc.) I can provide outstanding local references, offer flexible scheduling, and always send text updates so you can relax knowing your home is safe and your pets are being well loved. If you are in need of 24 hour full-service nanny services that put the care in pet care and cares like family, please reach out!

House Sitting • May 20, 2026

I ended up having to cut my trip short. I had booked Makayla for four days to stay at my house and ended up coming home on the second day due to difficulties in my trip. I appreciated that she quickly modified my payment amount.

Schedule

I am a 24 hr pet nanny that strives to create a relaxed environment for your pet while also making sure they are physically and mentally stimulated. I observe and listen to your pets body language and always keep an open line of communication between me and your pet. I tailor their days by what I notice that they like given the materials or funds I am provided and sometimes I even give from my own. My goal everyday is to make your pet the happiest I can possibly make them no matter how silly the game.
