Active and Loving Dog Sitter!
Pet care experience
I actually had the idea to start pet sitting long before I started working with Rover -- I started my own independent dog walking business when I lived in the Bronx. My decision to become a dog walker/pet sitter came through a simple observation; I immediately noticed just how many older people in the neighborhood were walking their dogs, so I decided to help them out! Since then, I have moved to Queens Village, work from home and have more time to spend taking care of pups. Through my business, I've taken care of every type of dog, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and I am comfortable with any kind of pup. I also specialize in looking after elderly dogs that need to take medication -- I have all the time and patience in the world for animals in need no matter what age or size. I live near Cunningham Park. and handle all of my visitors by myself, except of course, my dog assistant Xoi, who does an amazing job of greeting our furry, four-legged visitors and helps me make their owners feel at ease with their pup’s stay. I work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible. My home is near the beautiful Cunningham Park which offers lush grass and a multitude of pathways for us to explore during your furbaby's stay. I’ve lived in my neighborhood for nearly 6 years and my neighbors are friendly and most of them have dogs, so there’s also plenty of company around. But you say your dog isn't a fan of going outside? That's totally fine! I keep plenty of toys for those visitors that like to stay inside and play.
Reviews
Used Makeda's services two years in a row. She sent daily updates on my Minnie and always responded promptly to my messages. She is very easy to work with and has earned my trust. You can't trust just anybody with your pet and Makeda is someone you CAN trust. Thank you Makeda!!!!
Makeda is always great with our Addison. She gives her plenty of attention in her apartment and outside. She always follows our instructions. And she always updates us with texts and pictures of Addison while we are away. Makeda is very sweet and always accommodates all her dog friends that stay with her.
Great experience with Makeda. I received plenty of pictures. She goes well beyond her call of duty to make sure your dog is cared for and comfortable. I can tell Duke enjoy himself while in her care.
Makeda was awesome. She took care of our puppy while we went away for the weekend. It was our first time leaving him ever and she sent us tons of updates and pictures. Great experience.

Having owned a dog walking business for a number of years, I’m very interested in knowing what your particular pup’s needs are -- are they the type that likes lots of walks or do they prefer to stay inside and play? I don’t have any breed preferences and I am willing to work with my clients and their pets that need extra care. The great thing about working at home is that I can keep my eye on curious puppies that love to chew on everything or I can help reinforce commands your dog has learned in obedience school. I also specialize in looking after elderly dogs that need to take medication -- I have all the time and patience in the world for animals in need no matter what age or size. I’ll also keep you updated on how your pup is doing with plenty of pics.
A typical day
My home is near the beautiful Cunningham Park where there’s lot of grass to roll around in and plenty of pathways for us to explore. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible so I can make sure to stick to your pup’s routine. I love walking and most dogs get excited to see me bring out the leash for our walks! For the few that just want to stay inside and be cuddled, they are free to lay in my lap as long as they want!
