Pet care experience
I have 15 years of experience pet-sitting including house sitting, walks, boarding, and drop ins. I am originally from Tallahassee, FL, lived in Tampa from 2015 to 2020 where I attended/graduated from The University of Tampa, and now reside in Tallahassee again. I volunteered with the Tallahassee-Leon Community Animal Service Center from 2014 - 2017, and have experience handling dogs of upper wards of 120 pounds. My volunteering not only helped improve my handling skills, but has also made me better able to read a dogs body language and break-up situations that may arise. I am very calm and gentle with animals, and will spend a lot of quality time with them when I am hired. I know that your animals are dearly loved, and I plan to treat them with the same love and respect that you do.
Reviews
It is a blessing to feel 100% confident when I leave my pets with Makayla. It really makes getting away easy. We love her!
She took wonderful care of my dogs and they loved her. Will definitely book with her again.
Anither great experience with Makayla. The dogs love her, and knowing that she is watching them makes vacation a lot more relaxing!
Makayla is the best. My dogs love her!

Safety, trust & environment
The safety of your pets is my number one priority. I always make sure to inspect the environment I’m in for potential risks and hazards. Your pet will always remain on a leash when walked, and will always be secured appropriately when I am not around.
Information Makayla A. would like to know about your pet
I have absolutely no preference with breeds as I have worked with many breeds at the animal shelter I volunteered at. Prior to sitting I would like to know any restrictions your animal may have concerning food, habits, and socialization. Is your animal comfortable riding in a car? Does it require medication? Is it aggressive towards other people or animals? How long can it be safely/comfortably be left alone?
A typical day
Walks, car-rides, dog park (If approved), hikes around local parks/greenways/trails, enrichment, and a lot of cuddling and quality bonding time. I enjoy spoiling the animals I watch because they deserve the best!
