Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and barrier on the front of the house so the dogs won't be able to leave unless they are with me! I have one other dog who is very dog friendly, and loves meeting new people and other animals to play with.

Information Makeda F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has specific needs so I can ensure they are comfortable while they are with me. Are there specific triggers I should look out for? Any allergies? Also, please let me know what their favorite kind of game is! Hide and seek? Find it? Tug of war? I'm happy to play with them no matter the game!

A typical day

Our typical day begins with a brief walk in the morning throughout the neighborhood. Throughout the day, we'll take walks (if the weather isn't too hot/cold), and take breaks to play and train. I enjoy making various loops throughout the neighborhood to ensure the dogs are experiencing different paths, and try to implement some training throughout the walk to ensure they are also working their brains. If the weather is appropriate, and there aren't many other dogs, I enjoy taking my dog to the dog park to run around without his leash.

Pet care experience

I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of neighbors and friend's dog, and have had my own puppy for a year and a half. We've gone through three training classes, puppy and adolescent phase together, and looking forward to all the more to come with my dog and yours! Ocho and I are both passionate when it comes to playing and taking care of other dogs, and we can't wait to meet you and your loved pet!

Makeda took care of Minnie very well.

Makeda is a parent to a wonderful dog named Ocho. She’s very attentive when it comes to his care by keeping herself informed about what is good and harmful. She makes time to play with him and keep him active by taking him out for walks. She also does mini training sessions with him. Overall, Makeda is attentive, caring, and a responsible pet owner, and I have no doubt she will provide the same care for all the pups out there.
