Can handle dogs of all sizes & ages

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.

It is a blessing to feel 100% confident when I leave my pets with Makayla. It really makes getting away easy. We 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!
