Care for Pets, Plants & Home

Hi, I’m Malaya (Mae)! 💗 I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years & love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, clingy, or a professional napper, I do my best to make them feel safe, loved, & comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working at PetSmart, several years of pet and house sitting, & caring for pets with all kinds of routines and needs. I’m comfortable with feedings, medications, overnight stays, walks, playtime, lots of cuddles, & keeping up with your pet’s normal schedule so life feels as stress-free as possible for them. I also take pride in caring for your home while you’re gone. I’ll keep things tidy, water plants if needed, bring in packages, & make sure everything is secure & well looked after. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins throughout your booking. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. For overnight house sits, my boyfriend may occasionally accompany me for safety reasons. He is respectful, kind, follows all house rules, and loves animals just as much as I do. If your pet has specific preferences regarding guests, I’m always happy to discuss that beforehand. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and help make your time away a little easier. Looking forward to hearing from you! ✨ — Mae 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to keep things feeling familiar and stress-free while you’re away.

Mae did a great job. She sent just the right amount of updates and photos of the pups. Will book with her again!

Malaya was great! Our pups loved her and she treated them with love and care. She dog/house sat while we were away on vacation for a week and felt completely at ease with her watching over our pups. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.

Malaya was so great with our 4 babies! She took tons of pictures and was super communicative the whole time we were away.

Malaya was great! We came home to a clean place with the sheets and towels washed and dried! Roscoe was happy and she also updated us with pictures of him throughout our trip.
