Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very pet-friendly community with lots of outdoor space for your pup to play, as well as an indoor dog park for inclement and/or freezing temperatures. When providing care at your home, I will respect all rules you have for your pup, such as not being allowed on furniture, etc. and will stick to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. I would be providing service outside of my home. Your pup’s safety is my number one priority and, having been trained by a CCI service dog trainer myself, I am well-versed in translating your dog behavior, thus keeping them safe in all environments and under all circumstances. I am a very maternal person, and will give your pup all of the love, care and attention they need!

Information MaccaEna G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, or any behavioral issues or quirks I should know about (such as not getting along with other dogs, scared of elevators, is a chaser, etc.). I also would love to know about your pup’s personality, what they love, what they don’t love, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I love to keep your pup engaged both physically and mentally. Depending on your pups needs and lifestyle, I will ensure they get all of the playtime and exercise they need. I will also do training exercises with your pup free of charge, such as walking without pulling, leave it, sit, lay down, wait, etc. if you have a high-energy dog, I will ensure they are tuckered out when they need to be!

I speak puppy, and adult dog, too!

Pet care experience

I have experience with dog training, specifically puppies. I had the good fortune of learning how to train my Border Collie puppy, Khailo, (now 9) with a CCI-certified service dog trainer specializing in puppies. Khailo and I saw the trainer multiple times per week for about a year, establishing a good foundation that he always go back to. Raising Khailo taught me so much and turned me into a HUGE dog lover. Prior to that I liked dogs, now I LOVE them, and speak their language. I know how to properly walk a dog instead of letting the pup walk me, I know how to encourage good habits, and I will ALWAYS keep your dog's safety a number one priority. I also have experience administering medication to both puppies and adult dogs, have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, have experience watching multiple dogs at once, and also have experience with play-dates and dog parks. I will treat your pup as if they are my own. I look forward to being of service to you and your pup!

MaccaEna was wonderful with Tsukki. It was our first time using Rover and a sitter and she was super helpful, kind, and understanding! She kept us updated throughout her time house sitting with Tsukki. Highly recommend

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
