Service Dog & Pet Trainer

Pet care experience

I've trained dogs for about 7 years and have worked with exotic birds for about 6. I care for each animal I've watched or trained as my own with patience and love. I'm always ready to get out and be active with your pets as I have a dog of my own! With years of experience in senior animal, exotic animal, and dog behavior, I am confident your pet(s) and I will have a great time! My current day to day schedule consists of daily training, fetch, and enrichment games with my personal pup! But of course we always have tons of down time when needed. I have a decent sized fully fenced in yard. My service dog, Bimmer will keep your pup company along with my elder cat who usually keeps to herself and my younger kitty who spends her days outdoors and her nights inside.

Makayla was the best overnight pet sitter we have ever experienced. She treated our two doggies like gold and communicated with us frequently throughout the five days she cared for them. Her pictures and videos were so good and it was heartwarming to see that level of personal attention while we were away. She is a gem of a person and we highly recommend her.

Makayla took extra time to make sure our puppers were comfortable with her before heading out on the walk. She handled them well and both doggos were happy!

Makayla is always a wonderful sitter for us, and does such an amazing job with our two anxious cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs someone to look after your pets!

Makayla did a wonderful job with the floofs as always! She was so prompt and responsive despite me reaching out with super short notice — truly grateful for her care of the floofs!

Availability

Rover is currently a side job as I also work a part time. Although Rover is now my side job, I still take pride in my services to make sure your pet(s) get the best care possible<3 I encourage pet parents to reach out even if my schedule is “unavailable” as I may be able to fit certain times in. My part time consists of work every weekend with a day or two during the week.
