Pet care experience

Work-from-home sitter with lots of

I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have a year of professional pet sitting experience. What sets me apart is that I work from home, so pets are rarely left alone and always have company. I live in a large, pet-friendly house with plenty of room to play and relax, plus I’m right by great walking paths and dog parks. I’m comfortable caring for puppies with lots of energy, senior pets who need extra patience, and everything in between. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re a

Makya is great with Mabel and it’s always nice to see your dog excited to stay with someone again!

Makya was a pleasure to work with. She was very respectful, reliable, and communicatie. We really appreciated her efforts working through Munch's shyness. Makya left our house spotless. We would be happy to have her watch Munch again in the future!

We had a busy holiday away and I had all the confidence in the world that Mabel was staying with a perfect dog sitter! She was happy and loved while she was with Makya!

Makya was wonderful with Monte and so great to take him over the Thanksgiving holiday to enable us to have time with family. We’ll definitely be using her again next time we’re in Iowa City to visit!

Thank you for putting up with my crazy mut. He’s always a handful and you nailed it. He was tired when it was time for bed, he had a full day of fun thank you.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m currently an accounting intern working full time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day. I love taking breaks from my desk to walk dogs, play outside, or spend time with pets. Having animals around adds joy and balance to my routine, and I enjoy giving them the attention and activity they need while I’m home.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a large, pet-friendly house with plenty of space for pets to relax and play. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities - I follow your instructions closely and make sure every pet feels right at home. Since work from home, they rarely ever be left alone, and I can easily keep them on their usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime.

A typical day

Every day is an adventure! We'll start with walks around the neighborhood or yard playtime to burn off energy, then mix in games like fetch, tug-of-war, or practicing tricks. I also love taking dogs to explore new smells and sights nearby. When it's time to relax, I'm always up for cuddle sessions, belly rubs, or just being a calm companion while I work. I make sure every pet gets the perfect balance of activity, love, and rest.

Please share anything special about your pet - from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys or quirks - so l can give them the best care possible. I want to keep their routine consistent and make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Since I work from home in a large house, I can be very flexible and adapt to whatever makes your pet most comfortable.
