I am currently a senior at Drexel University and live near Drexel Park. Since I'm close to 30th Street Station, I can easily get around using public transit or Indego bikes. I know the city well and love exploring it! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I have a flexible class schedule and spend a lot of time around University City. I grew up with a dog back home and really miss having a pup around, so I'd love the chance to spend time with dogs (and cats!) while I'm at school. Whether its walks, playtime, or just some company, I'm happy to help care for your furry friend like they're my own.

Safety, trust & environment

During dog walking services, I focus on engaging walks, playtime, and ensuring your pet's comfort. For house sitting, I adapt to the pet's routine, offering companionship, feeding, walks, and maintaining the security of your home, providing a stress-free experience for both pet and owner.

Information Makayla M. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me in advance of any special needs your pet may have or potential behavioral issues I might encounter. Open communication is crucial to ensure the well-being of your pet. Additionally, providing a schedule or a general overview of your pet's day-to-day activities will serve as a valuable tool in ensuring their proper care.

A typical day

In the morning, I’ll kick off the day with an energizing walk for the pets. Integrate tailored training exercises to stimulate mental agility and reinforce good behavior. Afterward, a session of engaging play awaits the pups. To ensure a well-rounded experience, intervals of rest will be incorporated, allowing them to recharge for the next burst of activities.

Makayla is simply the best. We have an anxious dog who needs a loving approach. From home stays to walks, Makayla was simply the best

Makayla did a great job taking care of my pets and my home. Even though I wasn’t able to communicate regularly due to being out of the country she was able to handle everything.
