I am currently in school for my teaching certification. I also work full time as a server. My schedule fluctuates so I do my best to accommodate pet care requests as my schedule permits. My calendar is most accurate two weeks out but is subject to change. Please let me know how I can help and what times you will need care for your animals :) Flexibility with time will always improve my chances of being able to help!

Information Makaila K. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with many pets and still none of them are the same; tell me what is unique about yours. I would like to know what your pet enjoys, any allergies, any past aggressive or difficult tendencies and any other fun facts about your pet. I’m great with all ages but if your pet is older and has a medication regimen please let me know so I can properly administer those medicines.

A typical day

Every pet is unique and enjoys different activities! I will listen to you about what your pet enjoys and incorporate that into our time together. Whether that includes stop and sniff walks, runs, tug-o-war, fetch, dog park or simply love, I’m here to deliver outstanding pet care services catered to your pet. If your pet needs a bath, I can do that as well. Inquire for details.

Personal Pet Specialist

Pet care experience

About me: Before I started on Rover, I worked as a kennel technician at the Walt Disney World Resort for a couple years. In addition to my time there, I have experience volunteering in shelters as well as eight years of being a dog owner. I have been caring for pets on Rover for seven years. I have come across pets of all sizes and breeds on this platform. I understand animals and can adapt to the personality of any cat, dog, fish or any other animals. I will treat your pet like my own and will provide the excellent customer service that you desire. I understand how important your pet is to you. It takes a lot of trust and confidence to allow someone to take care of your pet and enter your home. I assure you that I will earn that trust and provide you with the professional and caring service that you’re looking for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping out with your per care needs!

Makaila is beyond fantastic! I never used Rover before , couldn't imagine trusting anyone with my baby dog. Makaila bonded with him and put my mind at ease with photos of his stay with her . She is absolutely wonderful. I kinda think my dog misses her.

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.
