Availability

My schedule completely revolves around the dogs. I am a college student, so occasionally school endeavors can interfere with pick-up or drop-off times, but for the most part, I can fully adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your dog. You are always free to adjust pick-up and drop-off times with no extra charge, just send me a message and we'll work out the best time for you. I do not charge in situations such as a missed flight, illness, or other unforseen circumstances that may require your dog to be in my care for a little longer.

Safety, trust & environment

My main goal is to always treat your dogs like my own! Everyday I ensure your dogs are loved, and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play, I try to spend as much time outside as possible. If your dog is social, my dogs love to play and socialize with yours. I have a Golden Retriever and a Havapoo, they're both neutered and very friendly. Rex my golden is very gentle and plays well with smaller dogs. If your dogs prefer to be on their own, I can do staggered outside time and keep them completely separate, no problem! Feedings always take place in kennels or separate rooms, so dogs are always separated for that.

Information Makaila-Mae D. would like to know about your pet

Some important things I'd like to know ahead of time are any special care needs your dog has, I can administer medication or provide extra assistance if needed, I just prefer to know ahead of time so I can adequately prepare for your dog and ensure that they are being properly tended to. I would also like to know if your dog has any specialized routines so I can do my very best to maintain those while they're here.

A typical day

A typical day includes feeding and then going outside in the morning, sometimes we'll go on a walk at this time, otherwise we just hangout and play outside. The rest of the day, in between outside time, I'll clean their spaces and do things around the house while the dogs play with each other, or hang out on their own. We'll go outside 4-6 more times after breakfast, and then they'll eat their dinner. Sometimes we set up activities in the yard such as a kiddie pool, a sprinkler, treat ball, or sometimes I like to hide toys and treats around the yard for the dogs to find.

Pets

Your dogs' new best friend!

Pet care experience

I love dogs, no matter the size, age, or breed, I am determined to be your dogs new best friend! I've been dog sitting for a few years now, originally just within my neighborhood, I started Rover as a summer job last year, but I fell in love with it and decided to continue. I've always loved animals, so getting to spend time with your beloved pets is such a privilege! I am currently a college student, but I do online classes so the majority of my time is devoted to dogs. I am committed to providing personalized, and loving care around the clock. While your pets are here, I try to maintain their home schedules as much as possible, for example, if they eat at a certain time At home, that's the time they'll eat here. I've noticed that it helps ease the transition between my home and yours. To them, my home is just an extension of their home. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who may be recovering from illnesses or surgeries. I can administer oral or topical medications and provide cpr if it were ever necessary. If your dog has specific or specialized needs, please let me know and I will ensure I work with you and them to provide the best care possible.

Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet Ponyo and administering her meds as well as feeding her, her extended bland diet. The updates and pictures eased our anxiety since this was our first departure from her.

Makaila was incredible with my pups, Meeko and Milo! I loved getting updates and pictures—it really made me feel at ease while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thanks Makaila!

Wow, what a doggie heaven! Pictures of the backyard are legit, and Makaila sent us plenty of pictures and updates. Makaila was very accommodating with drop off and pickup, and you care really see how passionate she is about caring for pups.

Makaila was very communicative and so easy to book with! Our dog was very happy to stay with her.
