ABOUT US
Formerly known as "Pet Sitting by Macayla," Pawsitive Impact Pet Care Inc. was founded by Macayla Goulet in 2024. Earlier that year in January, Macayla began caring for local friends' pets as a hobby. By October 2024, the small endeavor blossomed into a thriving business, proudly serving over 70 families throughout 10+ districts and expanding to a dedicated team of four. We are now a registered and insured company, committed to providing exceptional pet care. Our team holds certifications in pet first aid and CPR, ensuring that your fur babies are in safe hands. At Pawsitive Impact, our top priority is making a positive difference in the lives of furry friends and their families by easing the stress of finding a reliable caretaker.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
5 star rating
- Macayla is an exceptional dog sitter who exhibits a high level of professionalism, warmth, and respect. I highly recommend her services to any pet owner in need of a reliable caretaker. My dog and I are looking forward to our next booking!
Jameson H. Swansea, MA April 2024
- I moved to Rhode Island From Mass and have 2 dogs that need care for while I’m at work. By the grace of god I found Macayla and from the start had a good feeling about her and her sitters. Jussara has been walking my babies and letting them out and I am so happy with the experience. It’s always a bit nerve racking meeting new people to care for your pet but Jussara and Macayla have made this adjustment so easy and non stressful.
Heather D. Pawtucket, RI November 2024
- My first impression when meeting Macayla exceeded my expectations. I felt completely at ease giving her access to our home while away and knew she would take great care of our pups. She sent daily text updates with pictures which I looked forward to. Both our pups love her and we love her for that! The best pet sitter hands down!!
Christy R. Seekonk, MA June 2024
- We had Shannon stay at our home during our week vacation and I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. Macayla was so organized and professional helping to organize the stay and a second pair of ears although Shannon was a rockstar and more than capable! One of my dogs is a handful due to her age and medical conditions and she handled it extremely well. I highly recommend this group of ladies !
Grace. F Somerset, MA November 2024
- I went on vacation, and Macayla did a wonderful job checking on my kitty, Harry! She's kind and sweet and was very patient with my timid little boy. I recommend this company highly!
Mary W. Fall River, MA October 2024
- Macayla is an incredible pet sitter & our two pups adore her. The first thing she did when we all met was to get down to their level to give them attention & love. They were bonded with her from the start, cuddling right in & showing her their toys. Macayla asked all the right questions to ensure she could take the best care of our dogs. We trust her implicitly & are so fortunate to have found her.
Susan E. Swansea, MA April 2024
- Macayla is the best!!! She kept in constant contact with us every day & followed our care instructions perfectly. A lot of pictures were sent throughout the week & Macayla made sure to put our worries to rest. She took care of Rayne as one of her own & we are so grateful to have found her. Macayla is amazing & she is our #1 pet sitter. We 1000% recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.
Kiki D. Somerset, MA April 2024
- Macayla is the best!! She is sweet, kind, loving, and passionate about her job! My family and I felt completely at ease knowing that Macayla was at our home taking care of our two dogs. She took excellent care of them in our absence and we were 100% comfortable having her stay in our home. We are looking forward to our next vacation knowing that our furbabies, and our home, will be well loved and taken care of!
Bethanie P. Swansea, MA April 2024
- Macayla is a nurturing young woman and has such a great energy with my fur babies. She sent updates and pictures when I was away all week. My 12 year old doodle needs special attention and medication. I trusted her abilities and she always asked questions to make sure she was doing the right thing. I highly recommend Macayla.
Sheila C. Somerset, MA April 2024
- Macayla has stayed at our house and done drop ins for our 2 Aussie Doodles while we were away. She and the team are great! They are enthusiastic dog lovers and our pups love having them here.
Kelly D. Seekonk, MA October 2024
- They communicate very well, are compassionate with our fur babies and know going on vacation is stressful for all. Makes us feel so much better when Macayla or Shannon visit and feed our Jack. Great job!
