Vet Tech Experienced Dog Helper
Pet care experience
I worked at an animal emergency hospital in SA as a tech assistant to gain experience in my venture towards veterinary school. I performed blood draws, looked at fecal samples, observed abnormal behavior, and worked under the supervision of a veterinarian. I was scheduled dog grooming 2 days a week, where I extracted anal glands, bathe, cleaned ears, and clipped nails. I work within an oncology department at an emergency veterinary clinic. I have a Bachelor’s in Science in Biology and minor in Civic Engagement. I finished as President of UTSA Women in Medicine Organization. I’ve learned to love what I do with Rover over the past two years and it is a great perspective to make me a better doctor in the future. I have learned how to respond in stressful situations with a dog or cat, and how to properly assess the pet. I’ve spent the last 4-5 years in animal shelter’s or shadowing doctors. I currently take care of my own golden doodle and a schnoodle. I am confident in my abilities to give all the love your pet needs along with the mental stimulation that promotes a happy, healthy pet.
Reviews
Makaila was an awesome dog sitter for our two miniature dachshunds! She sent tons of thorough updates over the weekend and she took really great care of the dogs and our home. Would definitely recommend booking with Makaila!
Makaila did a great job watching four dogs! She sent frequent updates and followed all instructions very closely. I had such peace of mind knowing the pups were in great hands.
Always happy to have Makaila take care of our animals. Will be making more plans with Makaila in the future.
I chose Makaila because of her occupation and degree interest as well as her great reviews. Makaila did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for my Great Dane. Giant dogs can be a challenge but my big girl warmed up to her immediately. She played with her, gave her treats, and sent me several pictures while I was away. I was so comfortable leaving my girl with her and will use her for all my dog sitting.
About Makaila H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will send pictures at your home throughout the day to show how happy your fur baby is! With cool weather, I love sitting outside with my laptop and letting them get all the energy out. Then end off my night watching movies and snuggled with them. I do leave throughout the day for food or breaks, but I’m mainly a home body!
Information Makaila H. would like to know about your pet
I like to know how often they go outside, behavior (nervous, anxious, friendly), any special medications (oral, injection, liquid), or if they need supervision at all time outside.
A typical day
I love spending my time outdoors with the wild ones or curling up on the couch with the snuggle bugs. I know what it means to be away from home and wanting to give all the love and care our furry friends need, so I am glad to be their temporary friend for these moments by playing with toys, doing dog walks, or giving treats.
