Pet care experience

Your pets new best friend :)

As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our furry friends. So I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust with your pets! From dogs and cats to birds and small critters, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets, each with its own special requirements and quirks. I volunteered for 2 years at a wildlife rehabilitation center, working with animals such as reptiles, song birds, raptors, and small mammals! Being able to learn and deliver medical aid and life saving care to hundreds of babies. Your pet will be treated with the utmost love, respect, and personalized attention they deserve by creating a safe and comfortable environment so they can thrive while you're away. Whether it be short term or long.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a massive backyard away from any main roads, I can easily crate your dog if need be. Rest assured, your pets safety is top priority! Communication is key, Ill always keep you updated on your dog's experiences through regular photo and video updates. I want you to feel involved in your pets adventures just as much as they are 🐶 Please keep in mind tipping is fantastic, though also, absolutely, NEVER a requirement. But just for reference, Rover takes 20% of all cost from bookings not including taxes, Ex. If youre paying your sitter $100 for a full time housesit, your sitter gets $80. Tips go 100% to your sitter no matter who you choose 🐾

Makayla did a fantastic job taking care of our pups. Great communication from her each day. Pups were much more comfortable staying in the house rather than boarding somewhere else. Far less anxiety when we arrived home. Would definitely use her again!

Three stars is generous.We picked Makayla based on her reviews, her personality, and the fact that she said she would stay at the house every night. We told her we had outside cameras and would be monitoring them.We had a very stressful week. We saw a lot on the cameras that she explained differently upon enquiry.She had company over night at least 3 times, and left overnight at least 2 other times. During one of those away nights, we had notification from a neighbor of excessive barking. We notified Makayla and she assured us that all was fine.. We could hear audio from a basement camera and knew that we had a distressed dog. We called a neighbor at 1030 pm and they came down to take the girls out. They had to pee. When I questioned Makayla about leaving she said it was no different than being there.She did some things we didn’t discuss or consent to and didn’t do other things we discussed. We left written guide lines for her reference…All in all, the girls were fine when we came home. I discussed my concerns with her and referred to the cameras. She said she didn’t care that we looked at the cameras.Our neighbors told us that the garage door was frequently left open…lights were left on unnecessarily….We feel that she didn’t respect our home…. Ultimately, I won’t use her again.

This woman is absolutely AMAZING! I'm not even sure I can put into words how wonderful Makayla was! She was fabulous with my fur babies. And they can be a little difficult sometimes, but that was no issue for her. Not to mention she has a big spacious yard for them to play in, and she really takes the time with them, so that they're not missing you so much. I highly highly recommend you to look no further than Makayla! I promise you it's the best decision you'll make for your fur babies!

I can't put into words how wonderful Makayla is! I had a situation where I needed someone to care for my pups ASAP & continue to care for them til I got somethings straightened out, this woman was my ANGEL! She cared for my pups like they were her own! She constantly was sending pictures & updates so I KNEW they were being loved! And really helped me in my time of need. This complete stranger,
