Safety, trust & environment

I understand it is sometimes nerve racking to trust another person with your home and your dog, so I try to be highly cognizant of your house rules and any security protocols you have in place to keep both your home and your pup safe.

Information Makena S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your pets demeanor before accepting a sitting position. I have experience with nervous and leash reactive dogs (my own pup Willa!) but it is always good to know in advance.

A typical day

Depending on the activity level of your dog, they can enjoy lunch, a break from their crate/pen, or a walk around your neighborhood when I drop by. I can also send photos of your pet to see them when you would like!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Makena and I am a young professional living in Nashville, TN. I work from home, meaning that I have availability to drop by and give your pets some love and attention during the workday! I have four years of professional dog sitting experience and have a shelter rescue pup named Willa at home. I love spending time with animals and my flexible schedule allows your pets to get the care that they need.

Makena was amazing with my cats and wonderful to work with! She sent pictures of then and kept me updated throughout the time I was gone.

Makena is such a reliable sitter! Our dogs are always so happy to get some energy out when she stops in for their check in!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
