Tail-Wagging Fun! Loving Care!

Pet care experience

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.

One word- AMAZING!!! As a dog mom of two, I was concerned about finding someone to care for my doggies. Makena agreed to have a “meet and greet” where she immediately became comfortable with my 54lb Pitbull and 20lb Shih Tzu. She cared for both dogs for 3 days and sent video and texts often to let me know they were being well cared for! I’m sure they would’ve stayed forever! She spoiled them rotten. It was good to have them back home. I’ll definitely rebook with Makena! She’s a part of the family now! Love, the Blue Family! 💙

With short notice, Makena went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was entertained while I was gone, despite it raining the whole time! I definitely recommend using her services!

Let me know if your animals have any special needs to considerations, medication timings, symptoms to watch out for, or any other preferences so I can be of most help!

A typical day

I love to entertain the pups with what they enjoy! Some dogs, like my pups from childhood, hated fetch. They would run to the ball and never bring it back to we opted for more long walks, runs, mind stimulating games, and grooming. Whatever is the need of your pup I am more than happy to help out to accommodate. Want to make you and your animals feel comfortable!
