Caring Cat & Dog Sitter – 6+ Years

Hi, my name is Makhayla! I’m a caring and dependable cat and dog sitter with over 6 years of experience looking after pets of different personalities and needs. I recently moved to the area and am excited to help local pet owners with loving, reliable care. My 7-year-old daughter has grown up around animals with me, which has helped teach patience, gentleness, and responsibility when caring for pets. I’m flexible with potty breaks and daily routines, and I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need medication or extra time to adjust. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾

I was able to vacation in peace with Makhyla watching my 2 cats. She sent frequent updates to keep me posted on what they were up to. Definitely recommend and will book again

Makhayla did an amazing job!! It was my first time letting anyone watch my fur baby other than family so I was very nervous. She send pictures/ videos very often, she took him on field trips, and even bought him a toy! My fur baby loved her and had a ball! I will be using Makhayla in the future and would recommend to anyone!

Makhayla took great care of my little doggie. She sent pics and videos daily, which showed my dogs joy, personality and how cared for she was. I’m ever thankful. She walked her, took her in the car (which my dog loves) and notified me of any changes that she noticed. Which allowed me to share that it was normal for my dog. 5 stars from me.
