I love going for daily walks so I’m always full of energy and ready to give your pet the attention it needs! I am comfortable with all different sizes of animals and kinds of breeds! Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or whatever your furry friend may need, I’m here for them! I can’t wait to start and I look forward to working with you and your pet real soon! I walk your fur baby’s as a full time job!! So I have plenty of time on my hands to spoil them just as you yourself would! I will follow all of your instructions to a tee when I’m with your dog! You’re piece of mind as well as theirs is always a priority!!

Drop-In Visits • Dec 31, 2025

Makena was an amazing sitter! My cat has had some serious health issue in the past, and this was his first time being left alone for longer than a few hours. I was naturally very nervous. Makena understood my anxieties, and provided me very thorough notes every check in so that I knew he was doing alright. The pair also became the best of friends! My cat loved to cuddle and play with her. Although he's a friendly guy, I've never seen him take to someone so quickly. Makena clearly gives off a friendly energy that cats love!

Charming young woman who was skilled, professional and wonderful with our Bella. We were grateful that we could have a quiet dinner out with no worries.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 13, 2022

Super responsive and kind! I dropped my 5 month old puppy off for a day visit and she kept me updated on their day- it was relieving to know my little fur baby was in such good care! Definitely recommend and definitely would love for her to watch Carson again.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or triggers when booking!! These don’t deter me, I’m more than happy to help accommodate them!! They’re the priority! I only allow crate trained dogs to stay in my home! Please understand that for a dog who has anxiety when it comes to getting crated for a bit it will be extremely tough on them! Not all dogs can handle that level of stress and I’d rather this just be a fun environment for them. So I only take dogs who are fully comfortable spending a little time in a crate! Please let me know if this describes your pup!!
