About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats.

Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or just extra belly rubs, your furry family member will be in great hands!

I do not care for outside pets in my own home to ensure a safe, focused environment for all.

About: I’ve spent my life around animals—from growing up with mini poodles, Labradors, and blue heeler mixes to pet sitting for friends, family, and colleagues throughout adulthood. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, along with cats, birds, chickens, and even roosters. Volunteering at a local zoo as a kid sparked a lifelong love of animals that’s never gone away. These days, my world revolves around my own two French Bulldogs, Pierogi and Pearl. Caring for them has given me firsthand experience with the day-to-day needs of brachycephalic breeds, including monitoring them closely in the heat, recognizing when they need breaks, and making sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to the individual dog. They’ve also reinforced something I’ve always believed: every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and they deserve care that respects that. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy long walks and outdoor time with dogs that love to explore, but I’m just as happy taking a slower pace for seniors, puppies, or dogs who simply prefer a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, larger breeds, and strong pullers, and I’m patient with rescues or dogs who need a little extra understanding. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably accommodate walks and visits throughout the day. My partner is also a devoted dog lover, so our home is always full of canine energy. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy or a couch-loving Frenchie like mine, I’ll care for them with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I build my day around providing reliable, on-time care, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and patience they deserve—whether that's a quick potty break or a longer adventure. Safety always comes first. I take time to understand each dog's routine, personality, and comfort level before every visit. I use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe situations or overly hot pavement, and pay close attention to signs of stress or fatigue—especially since I have two French Bulldogs of my own. In your home, I'll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Makayla has been really helpful and understanding with Mili. We had to hire her for mid day visits during the time I had to be away from the country for more than two months. Mili wasn’t coping very well with it as she was being left alone in the house for prolonged hours! Makayla managed her energy and took care of her during her visits and was very understanding and flexible with everything. She once had to deal with the mess caused my mili tearing up a stuffed toy. She picked it all up and let us know that one part of the toy was missing which helped us take action on time and make sure my pup was safe. I really appreciate her being proactive in difficult situations and would definitely trust her and recommend her.”

We had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of my sweet Bella. She was incredibly patient, loving, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾

Sofi was a fantastic sitter for my older dog Xolo. She accepted the booking last minute and was very accommodating. She was always on time, reliable and sent many cute pics of Xolo. You could tell that she genuinely cared about his wellbeing and happiness. I would definitely re book her

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Erin was professional from the moment we first reached out, and that same care continued throughout. She took incredible care of our French Bulldog, Winston, while we were away, followed all of our instructions closely, and sent lots of photos and detailed update messages from each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter.

Charlie was so great with Tina. Reliable care and great updates. She came by prior to meet us and grab a fob so she could access the building. My return flight was delayed and she even accommodated me by coming the next morning for another visit. Would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.

Jennalynn was awesome with Pepper. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with rescue dogs which is hard to find. I have a fearful reactive dog I recently adopted, so I had to give her 100 details about her background. Her communication to come up with an intro plan made things so much easier. I highly recommend Jennalynn for all dog needs!

Luna was in such great hands 🤍 She was incredibly caring, attentive, and loving with her. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treated Luna like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!

Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.

We are so grateful for the amazing care Aryssa gave Chimmy while we were away for the week. We especially appreciated the attention she gave to her anxiety and how patient, loving, and attentive she was with her. The regular updates and photos meant so much to us and truly helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Chimmy was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Aryssa with her again. Thank you for everything!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
