Experienced Animal Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Makayla Hayes and I am a proud animal lover! I was raised on a farm here in Orange County! I have grown up around animals big and small. From fresh chihuahua puppies to big steers, the size no longer matters to me! I personally have a German Shepherd, a Siberian Husky, a Beagle, aswell as a Blue Heeler. I also have 6 cats, chickens, ducks , turkeys and bunnies! I have experience administering medicine in all forms for all animals. I also have cared for livestock animals aswell. I have worked at Dog Services in Richmond where I was the overnight kennel- Attendant!

Makayla is an extremely trustworthy, friendly, and pet-centered sitter. She handled our numerous pets and multiple drop-ins per day very well. She developed a bond with our dogs. We will definitely use her services again!

Maykala was wonderful, responsible, and dependable. Our dogs immediately went to her on the initial visit. She sent pictures everyday and communicated often. We will be calling her again!

I have been using Makayla for my pet sitting needs for 5+ years. She is always dependable and treats the animals as if they were her own pets. She gives all the love and kisses they need until you get back to them. Your fur babies would be left in very loving and capable hands.

Makayla is great with all types of animals because she grew up on a farm and LOVES animals. She treats my fur babies like her own children. She is attentive, loving, and very responsible. She has experience caring for sick animals both large and small so I know she can quickly identify any health problems and take action. She has cared for my 8 dogs, horse, 2 goats, and cat. They love her because she spoils them! 😃 Makayla communicates well and sends lots of pics and updates. I highly recommend Makayla for any petsitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust and Enviornment is key! While I do not allow client;s pets in my home, I do take very good care of them while at yours! I ensure that all gates or locked in a fenced in area, and do not leave the animals out unattended. I take care of the animals just like my own. If you have an aggressive dog, I assure that they are out by them selves so that is a safe experience for everyone.

Information Makayla H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if 1) the dog shows agression with unfamiliar dogs 2) dog has dietary needs 3) takes medicine 4) has any health issues that would impact the care for them 5) Is the dog allowed on furniture, etc? I love boxers, German Shepherds and Labs. No matter the breed, I love all dogs equally and they will all get the same love and care,

A typical day

I love going on walks around neighborhoods as well as taking my dogs to Dunkin for puppicinos. If the owners are okay with this, I also love playing fetch and giving lots of good belly rubs.
