When I pet sit for your furry friend, they become a cherished member of my Ohana. I believe that communication is essential, which is why I'll send you daily photos to alleviate any concerns and showcase the fun we're having while you're away! With years of experience, I've earned a solid reputation for reliability and trustworthiness. Rest assured, I'll care for your home as if it were my own. Many of my clients have even commented on how I leave their homes cleaner than before!

Information Makana P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or medication. If there are any restrictions I should be aware of, what your dog's daily scheduled looks like and what are somethings your dog enjoys to do.

A typical day

I want to keep your dog's day as similar as it would be if you were home. It can be stressful for our pets when we go away and so I want them to have a familiar schedule and have lots of fun on top of it. This means that I try and keep a regular feeding schedule, provide your dog with 1-2 walks per day, lots of potty breaks if needed, play and of course a lot of TLC.

Pet care experience

Aloha! My name is Makana, and I am an avid animal lover with a background in canine behavior. Although I was born on Maui, I grew up in New York. Following my passion for animals, I pursued my certificate in professional dog training, pet sitting, and dog walking through Animal Behavior College after graduating from high school. With over 15 years of experience in the pet care industry, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for animals. In 2020, upon moving home to Maui, I joined Maui Humane Society as a Veterinary Assistant. During my tenure there, I acquired invaluable skills in veterinary care, including advanced first aid, proficient administration of oral and injectable medication, and accurate monitoring of vital signs, . This experience further solidified my commitment to providing compassionate and professional care for pets and their Ohana's.

Our pup Izzie had a great time with Makanalani while we were away! It was a comfort to know she was staying at our house, keeping Izzie in her routine, and taking great care of her. When we came home, Izzie was happy, healthy, and calm, and the house was spotless. Thank you, Makanalani!

I highly recommend Makana. She is smart, skilled as Vet Tech and dog training. She is responsible.and flexible. She communicated well with us and with our dog, Kela. We felt comfortable and reassured that Kela was in good hands while we were away.
