Pet care experience

I’ll love them like my own!

Hi everyone! I’m makayla & the cute little fluff ball in my picture is Finnie the mini goldendoodle. I have always had a love for dogs, big and small. Cats too! My pup is my best friend. I take him everywhere with me! We go to the dog park multiple times a week followed by lots of cuddles in bed. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I own my own house in Springfield with a fully fenced in yard. I am a full time online student and I only work in person for a few hours a week so I’m almost always at home. I have all hardwood floors too so puppies and cats are more than welcome here. They’ll receive lots of love, walks, and play time! My pup loves to play with other dogs and he’s very gentle with cats as well. Your fur babies will be free to roam my house (unless you prefer them to be kenneled at certain times.) My pup has went through a three week board and train program so I am familiar with ecollars and basic commands as well if you would like me to keep up on your pups training. Any & all requests are welcome! We would love to have your fur baby with us ❤️

Makayla was great watching Morgan! We did a meet and greet so she and their dog Finn could meet and they got along great and played together. Morgan was so excited to go back when I dropped her off! Makayla answered all my questions and had good communication. She was flexible about pickup time when there was a change of plan. I plan on having her watch Morgan again in the future!

Makayla was awesome to work with. It was very evident she loved having the pups, and took incredible care of them. She frequently updated us including photos of the pups playing and snuggling. We were not worried one bit while they were in her care. Will definitely use again.

Schedule

I am a full time online student & only work in person for a few hours a week. I am home 95% of the time and if I leave, it’s only for a couple of hours max. I like to go to the neighborhood park for exercise and am more than happy to bring your pup with me if you’d like! I also take my pup to the dog park 3-4 times a week so if you have a membership then I can bring your pup along or he/she can enjoy playtime on my backyard. I can work around whatever schedule you & your fur baby need!

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fully fenced in and escape proof! I have security cameras posted all around my house as well. I will provide you with as many pictures & videos as you’d like of your fur baby while they’re with us. I am almost always at home and your pup will have my mini goldendoodle for company as well! We have a large dog kennel too if you’d prefer you pup be kenneled at certain times. But if not, all pups are welcome to free roam around the house! If you’re a member of the dog park, I can take your pup on trips there. Or they can play in my back yard. We love going for walks around the neighborhood as well! We can accommodate for any of your pups needs ☺️
