Pet care experience

Trustworthy pet sitter

Hello, my name is Makena Bright, and I am currently an online student studying Aviation. I spend most of my days at home! Which means I have optimal time to spend throughout the day caring for your pets. My significant other also works from home, which ensures someone will be with your pet at all hours of the day! My house has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of grass for your pups to run. Throughout high school I worked as a vet tech, and I have been a volunteer/ dog walker at the local shelters! This has taught me how to care for a variety of dogs and cats from all different background's. I would love the opportunity to care for your animal! I require a free “meet and greet” before I commit to caring for your pet! This will allow me to meet you and your animal to ensure it will be a good fit. This makes sure I will be able to provide the best care for your animal.

We highly recommend Mekena and if we ever need someone to dog sit again we will definitely be coming back! Mekena took great care of our senior dog! She was attentive to all his medical needs and grooming.She sent pictures and updates which was really appreciated! I would give more stars if I could!

Schedule

Growing up I have had the opportunity to be around a variety of animals. This has taught me what is required everyday to ensure a dog is comfortable and thriving in their environment. Being an online student allows me the time to fully commit to your animal!

Safety, trust & environment

My house is fully equipped to care for your animal. I have a fully fenced backyard. This will allow your pet to run around outside ensuring a safe environment. I also am available to walk your dog throughout my neighborhood! I also am available to provide home visits for your pups if this would make them more comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

Some fun activities I can provide for your pets are outdoor play time. I love playing fetch with dogs, going on walks throughout the neighborhood, and even sitting with your dogs to comfort them.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
Makena can host up to 7 pets per night
Please let me know how your animal is around other dogs. I currently have another dog in my house who loves other animals. However, if your pet is more comfortable alone I can ensure my dog is in his separate play area away from your dog! I also would love to know your daily routine with your animal! Some things that are helpful to know is what time you feed your dog throughout the day, what their daily exercise looks like, and any allergies or medications your dog may be on!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
