Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets do best when provided with daily stimulation through novel experiences, so I'll do my best to keep your pets positively engaged in whatever way suits them. Whether they want to spend a whole walk sniffing one spot, or spend a drop in visit sprinting around your yard, I'll do my best to provide not just pet care in general, but care for YOUR pet.

Information Makayla G. would like to know about your pet

Be sure to let me know any special behaviors or rituals your pet may have. For example, can they be trusted with an open trashcan? Do they always get a treat before bed? How about a favorite toy or irrational fear? Every pet is unique, help me understand yours :)

A typical day

I love creating new enrichment for pets! Food puzzles are my favorite kind of game, but I have other options too! Much of my training has been providing mental stimulation to animals in captivity to prevent harmful behaviors arising from stress or boredom. With my expertise, your pet won't even realize you're gone!

Cat care experience

After spending 6 months interning at a nationally accredited big cat sanctuary in Minnesota, I feel confident in saying I can handle felines of any temperment. From lions and tigers to bengals and tabbies, I've dealt with them all 🐱💕 I've been trained in appropriate feline enrichment techniques to keep your cats happy and engaged while you're away. Who doesn't love scattering treats? I can provide any care ranging from litter box cleaning to pilling and medication injections. You'll recieve picture updates of fresh food, clean litterboxes, and most importantly your feline friend if they're brave enough! Reach out today ✨

Makayla was very attentive when she was with our dogs. She took extra care for our early dog when he was injured. I would definitely book Makayla again.

Makayla always goes above and beyond. She’s now watching our second senior rescue pup and has bonded with him just like our last one. We trust her with his life! It’s worth every penny being out of town knowing we don’t have to worry about our dog at home.

Makayla was great with Jeter. We were given an updated every day along with pictures each day as well. We would definitely recommend her if you need help with your dog!
