Experienced professional pet auntie

Pet care experience

As a professional handler at a dog daycare, I have cared for dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience house sitting for several families with dogs who need more specialized care. I have particular experience with dogs with anxiety, dogs who require medications at different times of day and even a blind, epileptic dog.

Makena is amazing!!! She took such great care of my pups. She moved away from my area or else I would still be using here. She even left us the sweetest parting gift and note. Highly recommend!

Makena took such great care of our senior dog while we were away. Will definitely book her again!

Makena took great care of my pets - provided pictures, followed care instructions for each pet, and was communicative. Makena also took great care of my home.

Safety, trust & environment

Though I cannot bring other pets into my home, I would love to care for your dog (or other animal) in the place they are most comfortable!

Information Makena G. would like to know about your pet

I'm willing to make any accommodations for your dog to the best of my abilities and will communicate with you on a regular basis. I also love taking cute pics of your pets and will be happy to share them regularly!

A typical day

I'm happy to take high energy pups on extended early morning walks to burn off some of that energy before the sun gets too hot. As an at-home worker, I can also spend a lot of quality at-home time with your pet. Whether I can engage your dog with a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or some cuddle time, I'll make sure they have a good time even while you're away! I'm ready to provide daily walks, check-ins, car rides, or anything else your dog may need.
