Pet lover to all, future nurse

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Makena I am 20 years old from Weare, New Hampshire but going to CSU for nursing! My family and I have 2 dogs of our own at my house 1 small beagle and 1 large callahoula mix. I have trained both dogs between potty training, walk training, as well as some fun tricks. I love all sizes and breeds of dogs, I also do love going for runs with my dogs, going to the lake and playing fetch, as well as nature hikes. Weather your dog is high energy or just lazy and want to sleep all day, I will have no problems. I am easy and have flexible hours I’m good with bookings being last minute. I do not have any issues making a further drive to come dog sit that is why I made my sitting radius so wide. Depending on the driving I might have to ask for a little more $ for gas but we can also figure it out and make it easiest for everyone. (I do have my COVID vaccine) I am just a full-time college student at Charleston Southern University majoring in nursing starting my sophomore year. We are a faith based college where we incorporate the knowledge of god and prayers into our day to day living around campus. We have a chapel on sight where we hold weekly Wednesday chapel 11-12 where no classes are scheduled so all students will have that hour free. (car rides and pup cups (if allowed) are always a YES!)

Makena took wonderful care of our cat and dog. Our cat has cancer and requires extra care and medical attention and she was well looked after. We would definitely hire her again.

Makena really helped me out of a jam! My dogs loved her. She was communicative and quick to respond

I booked Makena to stay with my three dogs while I was away, she interviewed very well and was kind and friendly. Once my trip started I did not receive any updates unless I asked for them. The dogs were content and fine when I came home but I was extremely unhappy that 1) Makena or a guest smoked in my garage. I am a non smoker and now all my gym stuff that was stored in my garage smells like cigarettes, on top of leaving a homemade cardboard ashtray inside. 2) My second concern was that there was boys clothing left on my kitchen table on top of a number of personal items being moved all around. We did not discuss a guest being in my house. When someone is hired to house sit they should not be bringing another person into the home without discussing it with the owner. Makena is a sweet kid but I will not hire her again and am very disappointed with this experience.

Makena is dependable, upbeat and responsible. River is recovering from being neutered and I had no concern about Makena monitoring his activity level. I ended up being delayed and she had him safely crated when I got home. Really appreciated the peace of mind.

I can easily create them, as well as having 3 fur babies to keep your dogs company! At an owners home, i take dogs out for hikes, walks, car rides, etc. on owners conditions. I am a very animal loving person, and will cuddle up with your dog any day of the week for some TLC

Information Makena C. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed or size preferences, I will just like meeting the dog before I start dog sitting just to make sure he/she is comfortable with me and of course you are comfortable with me.

A typical day

I love to go on 15-30 mins walk/run myself and it is always better with a four legged furry friend. I am a very high energy active person but have no issues with just laying down and giving pups some love and affection depending on their needs. Would be happy to take them for car rides or maybe trying a new park find some new smells depending on what the owner(s) are ok with!

I currently go to schedule full-time at CSU for nursing, Rover works out better with my school schedule since I can base visits around my open times. Along with only going into school Monday thru Friday for lecture, it is better fit!
