I have open daytime availability most days and typically work short evening shifts (around 5pm–close) a few nights a week. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I structure my schedule around walks, feedings, and quality time. On days I’m not working evenings, I’m available for extended care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. During visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), walks, and enrichment. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secured before and after each visit. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and respect for your home while delivering attentive, structured care. I provide photo and update messages after each visit so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

Information Makai M. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I like to know your pet’s routine, temperament, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioral considerations. Please share any triggers, leash habits, or special instructions so I can provide the safest and most consistent care possible. Clear communication helps create a smooth experience for everyone involved.

A typical day

For walks, I tailor the pace and length to your dog’s energy level. High-energy dogs get structured exercise, while calmer or senior dogs receive steady, comfortable walks. During drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, fresh water, feeding (if needed), playtime, and affection. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing to ensure everything feels normal and stress-free. My goal is to maintain consistency so your pet feels secure while you’re away.

Trusted EMT Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Makai— a dependable, structured, and animal-loving caregiver based in Winston-Salem. I currently work as an EMT, which means I’m calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and trained to respond quickly in emergencies. Your pet’s safety is always my first priority. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I do my best to stick closely to what they’re used to at home. What you can expect when booking with me: • Consistent communication and photo updates • Structured walks and safe handling • Clean environment • Respect for feeding and medication schedules • Calm, confident leadership I’m comfortable with: • Puppies and potty training • Larger breeds • Senior dogs • Administering medications (non-injectable unless discussed) If you’re looking for someone responsible, active, and attentive — I’d love to help care for your pet.

Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!

Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!
