Pet care experience

Hey there 👋🏽 - fur mommy, daddies, future nieces and nephews ❣️. My name is Makeba or Aunty Kei for the fur babies. I am the dog lady! I hold that title close to my heart as your babies become my babies once we meet. I am an all dogs type of gal but I currently only board small to medium sized dog preferably 30 pounds and under. My home is a safe space not only for my family, but for yours as well. I DO NOT board dogs with aggression regardless of the size. Your dog MUST be dog and people friendly. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. If your dog has food aggression please advise me prior to boarding. I vow to make my space the safest pooch palace it can be for returning and future clients. I ask that you are transparent about your dog’s behavior so I can provide the best care possible for he or she. All dogs must be vaccinated (Boardatella & Rabies vaccines) required. Please advise me of any and all allergies. As well as medications that will need to be administered during my care. Senior dogs with special requirements are booked under puppy rates. Any questions or concerns about senior dog care I’d be happy to answer in a direct message. 💓 P/u and drop off hours are between 8am and 8pm. Anything earlier or later may require a small fee, but I can be flexible for any unforeseen events or delays. If you require an earlier or later p/u and or drop off time please be sure to include that in your initial request. I enjoy everything about dogs! I have countless years of experience and with two dogs of my own my day in and out is surrounded by dogs. I am a very easy going person. I have a high tolerance for noise so if you have a barker bring him or her on over. My home is fully fenced in and on a quiet street with minimal traffic. Your dog will enjoy coasting the backyard with ample space to run and play. * Home FULL-TIME, with a flexible schedule. * Years of experience with senior dogs with and without special needs * Comfortable and experienced with administering medication. e.g. Injectables, topical and oral. * Free range environment * Pick up and drop off service available * PUPPIES ARE MOST DEFINITELY WELCOMED. (We all need that puppy rush at times). Please let me know if he or she is house broken, crate training, or a little destructive. * If for any reason I have to step away from my home while boarding, your dog will be placed in a puppy pen for safety purposes. * Neat and clean environment 🧼 * At least four potty times for the day. **Hassle free traveling - the items below will be provided during the stay** * A clean dog bed * Many toys, balls and interactive puzzles 🧩 * Feeding and water dishes I am open to all other suggestions to make your dogs stay 100% comfortable and exciting. Pictures/ Videos/ Text Messages will be used for daily updates. 📲 I look forward to meeting all my new babies 🐾❣️🐾.

Makeba is the best!!! Highly highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is sweet & genuinely cares for your pups. My boy is a pretty anxious fellow & is a bit fearful of people at first but she was so gentle and understanding with him. I actually think she broke him out of his shell! We appreciate her sm.

Makeba is the absolute best. She is so kind and my dog doesn’t want to come home. Thank you for being so kind to our girl.
