I am currently pursing higher education, which allots for extra time in my already flexible schedule. I am able to make adjustments or take care of any emergency needs, should they arise. If allowed, I am more than happy to cuddle with your furry (or not so furry) friend while studying in your home.

Safety, trust & environment

I will only sit in your home to ensure that all safety precautions and comfort for your pet are met. This includes locking ALL doors, making sure gates are closed, crates (if used), etc. I also bring my own leashes which keep any pets closely secured to me while maintaining positive control during the walk.

Information Makayla G. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but I would like to be notified of any special needs and/or medical treatments of the dog. I am extremely experienced with all types of medicine administration to include diabetic and epileptic pets. ALL puppies under 1 year must have proof of full core vaccines! I work with animals professionally and can come in contact with contagious illnesses. While I do my best to adhere to infectious disease protocols, a second layer of protection with vaccines is mandatory for my services.

A typical day

Your dog and I will enjoy long walks or runs anywhere we can find. While I do prefer parks, a neighborhood can always make due. Fetch, tug of war, or just a good belly rub are all in good fun. If you would like, we can even go on pet store trips or get a nice bath too.

Makayla did another wonderful job dropping in for my cat beans for about a week. As always she was responsive, flexible, and all great regarding the bond and love she gives my animals. Very trustworthy and will continue using her services.

This is the second time Makayla has watched my beans for drop in visits. She does an excellent job of keeping me in the loop with what is happening at home; additionally she is always punctual so I never had to worry about if bean has care or not. I always look forward to Makayla’s photos/rovercards at the end of each visit as she takes wonderful photos and gives additional little updates on how the visits go on top of the rover app updates. Makayla is great with following instructions on all my cat’s needs. Both my husband and I find her to be very trustworthy as we have left bean in Makayla’s care twice with no issues of her coming and going into the house. I can tell bean absolutely adores Makayla and because of her wonderful service I would definitely recommend her services to others and continue to use her services as well.

I felt very confident leaving my cats in Makayla's care. She's very responsible and communicates well. I was a little nervous going out of town because one of my cats hasn't been feeling well, but Makayla provided great updates and administered his pain meds with ease. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Makayla was very accommodating of our cat's needs and had great communication during her visits. She is very knowledgeable on pet behavior and takes time to get to kow us and our pets. You've earned a repeat customer. Thanks!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
