Dogwood Acres Pet Care Assistant

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Makayla and I am currently a college sophomore attending Appalachian State. I am from Maryland so I am quite new to the area however back at home (Maryland) I previously worked at Dogwood Acres, a dog lodging facility, for two years. During my time at Dogwood Acres, I gained my CPR certification for animals as well. I also have had previous experience at another dog facility, Dogtopia, for a year before coming to Dogwood Acres. Before moving here for college, I have been using Rover on the side for almost a year now! I worked at a plant nursery back at home where I would take care of the nursery cats as well. I am an animal lover and truly enjoy taking care of animals! My family and I have rescued my cat, Iris, and my lab dog, Drake, is a trained hunting dog. I have gained a lot of experience with dogs and cats through working at Dogwood Acres! I have experience with properly administering medication, feeding, bathing, dog walking, and any other dog activities that you would like! **** My best friend (who works at the Bay Area Vet and worked at Dogwood Acres with me) and I usually do Rovers together (we split the payment together) which works out really perfectly since it allows us to give as much attention as possible to your animal.

Makayla was fantastic. My little girl can be shy but they were best friends right away. I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard where my black lab can safety run around in. Working at Dogwood Acres has allowed me to be able to provide trained dog walks as well as supervised play time. I can also be responsible for feeding them and watching them throughout the night if necessary. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important is it to feel that your pet is in a trusted environment, I can promise you I will make their stay as safe and fun as possible!

Information Makayla L. would like to know about your pet

I have experience in working with multiple different types of dog and cat breeds. If your pet has any special accommodations or health issues like Arthritis, that would be very important to know. I also am trained in administering medications as well.

A typical day

I am trained in dog walking as well as monitoring play times so I am open to whatever your preferences are! I am well skilled in different types of play (fetch, commands, jolly ball)

Availability

I do have quite busy schedule with classes everyday but my availability will be pretty flexible as I can stop by in the middle of my days/ always be available at night. I have 8am classes every day during the weekdays but if you need me to stop by very early in the morning I can do that as well. I would be open to doing overnight visits if needed.
