Pet care experience

Tail-Wagging Fun! Loving Care!

I have been around animals ever since I was born from riding horses, training therapy dogs, taking in foster pups, walking dogs, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes (hamsters, fish, turtles, dogs, cats, and more), puppy sitting / house breaking. Caring for dogs specifically is a piece of my DNA. I have an admiration for them adding so much to our lives! I will make sure they enjoy their time away from home as much as they can by providing a safe and comfortable enriching environment! My family has been in caretaking animals for as long as I can remember from my parents being dog sitters, foster parents, walkers, and my aunt and cousins being practicing vets. Being around animals and caring for them from puppyhood into adulthood is truly something I thrive with and can not wait to make your pup feel extra special in my home.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have no pets of my own, no fenced in yard but a green space in the neighborhood and will go on plenty of walks! Also located next to Frank Liske Park which has plenty of trails and grass for your pup to explore with me. Very flexible! Expect photos and videos of your pup while with me!

So happy I found Makena to watch my pup. She was very responsive and was willing to watch my pup on very short notice. Would 10/10 recommend!

Makena is absolutely amazing. My dogs are big and unruly and she not only had no problem handling them, she also fed, walked, and played with them. And they loved her, too. We are very happy and will continue to hire her to take care of our babies!!
