About Makena T.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether caring for pets in your home or outside, I help to provide a clean, secure, and loving environment while ensuring they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I also send regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

Information Makena T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any disabilities or special requirements. I prefer dogs that are friendly and less stubborn. Please also let me know of a certain routine/route they have and prefer to follow.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs by going on long walks in your neighborhood or a favorite spot to walk/jog. We can play whatever fun games they like.

Pet care experience

I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including my 10-year-old Black Lab and my American Pit Bull. I’ve helped train both dogs, understand different personalities and energy levels, and am comfortable handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Makena. She has cared for and walked my dogs often, and I trust her completely with them. From the very beginning, it was obvious how naturally compassionate, loving, and responsible she is with animals. Having grown up around dogs her entire life, she has an incredible understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I always have peace of mind knowing they are in such caring hands. She is dependable, patient, attentive, and treats every dog as if they were her own. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely loves animals, I would highly recommend Makena for dog walking or pet sitting. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members.

I highly recommend Makena as a dog walker. She has grown up caring for her family’s 3 rescue dogs and consistently demonstrates responsibility, patience, and genuine compassion for animals. Makena is dependable, trustworthy, and attentive to each dog’s needs, ensuring they are safe, exercised, and well cared for. She has a natural ability to connect with dogs and understands the importance of maintaining routines and providing positive interactions. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have Makena care for their beloved pet.

Makena is without a doubt a responsible and loving pet caregiver she has two dogs at home and she is nothing but lovely to them even though somtimes one of them acts up Makena handles him very well and with care. Not to mention her parents also love animals and volunteer to walk them on the weekends, Makena growing up in this environment and the way she is with her own animals definitely shows her love for animals as well as her being a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
