Pet care experience

Former dog trainer

I am a former dog trainer prior to my military service with 15 years of dog experience. I worked at a dog board and train facility, in addition to a groom and board facility as a trainer/dog handler. Outside of those two facilities, I did in-home dog training and care. I have also donated a lot of time to volunteering at the Humane Society, primarily walking and working with the more aggressive dogs. I have an incredible love for all animals and can accommodate all pup personalities - excitable puppies, grumpy older souls and the hardheaded pups. I understand the importance of taking good care of furry family members because I have two of my own! I am comfortable with medications, insulin, special dietary needs, etc. I have multiple references upon request who can verify my experience. Please reach out to me about calendar / schedule, as my business is on and off rover.

Makayla has been a great and reliable dog sitter for us! We’ve used her several times and most recently we had several flight changes and she was very understanding. Highly recommend to book her!

Makayla is amazing. She loved our dog like we would and sent pictures of her for the whole time we were gone. Our puppy had so much fun. We will definitely be using her and her family again.
