Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, training, enrichment, and check-ins, allowing me to give each pet focused, unrushed care. I prioritize consistency, communication, and flexibility to meet each pet’s individual needs.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, calm apartment with a consistent feeding and exercise routine. My Belgian Malinois follows a structured schedule and attends training twice weekly, and my cats are well-fed, happy, and healthy. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely, maintain cleanliness, provide enrichment, and prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication.

Information Makayla H. would like to know about your pet

I ask owners to share important details about their pet, such as feeding routines, allergies, medications, behavioral quirks, and favorite toys or treats. Knowing these little things ahead of time helps me keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while they’re in my care. I only offer treats with owner approval and am happy to use treats provided by the owner or approved in advance.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level, age, and routine. For dogs, this can include structured walks, backyard play, enrichment games, and basic training reinforcement, balanced with calm companionship. For cats, I offer interactive play, environmental enrichment, and quiet time based on their personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and notes so owners feel informed and at ease while they’re away.

Pet care experience

I have extensive hands-on pet care experience as a dog trainer “in training” and lifelong animal owner. I currently own a Belgian Malinois and grew up caring for Border Collies and cats, giving me strong experience with high-drive dogs, obedience, enrichment, and calm, structured care.

I can’t say enough good things about Makayla. She takes amazing care of my cats and dogs whenever I need her, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such capable hands. Beyond basic care, Makayla has been instrumental in helping train my dogs for obedience and sport. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and always willing to share helpful tips that actually make a difference. My dogs love working with her, and I’ve seen real progress thanks to her support.
