Pet care experience

Loving and Experienced Pet Sitter

Hey y’all!! My name is Makayla, I’m from Raleigh NC and at a very young age I decided to devote my life to dogs and have been involved with dogs my entire life. I am currently 27 years old chasing the dream of running my own rescue and training facility. I would absolutely love the opportunity to love your pet as much as I love mine so you can enjoy your work day and not worry about your fur baby having to use the restroom or eat/drink. Just give me a shout and I’ll be there as fast as possible!

Safety, trust & environment

My house has a medium fenced in area but I have lots of experience with walking dogs on a leash or sitting outside and just hanging out while they do they’re thing and keeping an eye on them while they do it.

Dog Walking • Jul 20, 2026

This was my first time using Makayla, and Rover, and I was not disappointed. My dog George can be a special case and sometimes takes time to warm up to certain people but he loved Makayla at first sight! She was very detailed, thorough, listened and followed my notes regarding George’s care and had great communication and sent plenty of photos and details about his day. After a day my anxiety of leaving him with a stranger was eased and I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew I left him In great hands. I will definitely be using her next time and am so grateful we found someone we could trust to love on my baby as we would have.

Makayla was very thoughtful with her daily pictures and reports. I felt completely comfortable and confident with my dog being in her care. I really appreciate her factoring in temperature and other environmental factors to make sure my senior guy stayed safe.

This is our 3rd time using Makayla to watch our fur baby while we are out of town!! It’s so nice not having to worry when we know Makayla will take good care of our dog! 1000/1000 recommend using her!

Schedule

Right now pet sitting is my only job so I have a completely open self made schedule and can make it fit any needs necessary.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Makayla can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
I have no issue working with the outcast dogs. The ones that most are nervous to meet and try to bond with are the ones my heart always leads me to. I have a bunch of rescues in my pack so knowing the body language of a dog definitely comes in handy.
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.
