Animal Care Professional
Pet care experience
I have worked with animals for the last 9 years because of my profound love of animals..I worked at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle for 4 years. I worked there with exotic animals from as small as a cockroach to as big as a porcupine. I worked with a variety of reptiles and rodents, and I have also previously owned dogs, fish, rats, and a rabbit and I currently have three dogs. I am well educated about caring for the specific physical and mental needs of animals because of my position at the Woodland Park Zoo, and my degree in Animal Management from Washington State University. I recently graduated and completed a Dog Training Apprenticeship at a Facility in Pullman that specializes in Service and Therapy Dogs. I have also worked previously with horses, sheep, and assisting goats with neonatal care. I’m the perfect person to watch your pet because of my attention to detail, profound admiration for animals, and strong work ethic. I will care for them as if they are my own.
Reviews
Makaela was great! She took great care of our pups.
I have a 5 year old cat, she requires a lot of attention and love but the problem is that she didn't accept anyone to take care of her, however every time Makaela takes care of my kitten, she returns very happy and can see that both have a special affection. I would like to highly recommen Makaela for her level of devotion and love of animals.
It’s hard to be away from my pets, especially because I’ve had bad luck with sitters in the past. Makaela house-sat for me for about a week recently and the daily updates I received gave me real peace of mind. My dogs absolutely love her and always light up when she comes over to visit. She’s always my first call when I need to go anywhere they can’t come with.
We adore Makaela! Makaela is very good at listening to what we need in someone to carefully take care of our two pups, she is very timely and gives them extra attention! We love that she sends us pictures and updates while we are away!
About Makaela L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always come alone to clients homes and provide pets with the same love their families do. I’m there to make things better, not worse. Its important to me to communicate with owners during my time with their pets, and learn as much as I can from them to provide top notch care.
Information Makaela L. would like to know about your pet
I can accommodate any needs your pet may have, as long as you yourself can provide clear instructions. Together, your pet and I can handle whatever gets thrown at us.
A typical day
I love to go on long walks with my dog, and your pet would be no different. I also like to use enrichment toys to stimulate their brains, to tucker them out mentally on top of physically. If cuddles are in order I’m always down for a snuggle-sesh with your furry friend.
