Pet care experience
I have been taking care of my own dog as well as pet sitting neighbors dogs since I was around 9 years old. I walked them and fed them twice daily and gladly spent some time giving them some love and playing with them. I then started working at horse stables, helping to feed them, clean stalls, take them out to graze, bathe them, and train them for years while taking riding lessons during the time as well. After that, I raised chickens at our home and was taking Agriculture and farm classes, and learning how to take care of the farm animals was a part of the course. During that time, I was also living on the mountain on a farm with an 100% pure wolf, a pit bull, two other dogs, and two other cats as well as taking care of the neighbors pigs, horse, and donkey. I have also have done volunteer work at animal shelters several times. I have always been an animal enthusiast and lover. Spending time with animals always fills up my heart with happiness :)
Reviews
We love working with Makenna because she amazing with Rheia, reliable, always responsive, and takes great care of our place when house-sitting. We can travel and be confidence that our family (Rheia) and home are safe, and we’re planning to keep working with Makenna going forward.
We’re thrilled we found Makenna who has been amazing with Rheia (who tends to be picky with new people) and always reliable and very responsive. Makenna’s done a couple house-sitting visits for us, and we’re always confident that both Rheia and our home will be well cared for. We look forward to continuing to work with Makenna for our pet-sitting needs, and we love having someone nearby who we know and trust.
Makenna was great! My dog Wiley had so much fun with her dogs and was well cared for.
Makenna has been walking and looking after our 2 dogs for the past few months. She responds to messages and changes in schedules promptly. Our schedules are constantly evolving and Makenna stays in constant communication to make sure our dogs receive the care they need. She is great with our puppy and our adult dog, who typically is not very fond of strangers. I highly recommend using Makenna and we have referred her to our friends with dog needs.

If they need to stay at my home, I have a fenced in yard as well as a crate in storage for small to medium size dogs if necessary and preferred. The animals will be staying inside my home and I will be around all day and night to let them in and out, feed them, and give them love! I live in a beautiful location surrounded by trees, trails, a lake, and a pond where I can take them out for walks/hikes everyday. They will get plenty of love here. Dogs are allowed on the furniture/bed only if they ask/are invited to. If you do not do that at your home, I will make sure to not allow that at our home either. If they are staying at your home, I am available any time any day for walks, visits to your home to feed and let them out, stay over while you are away, or whatever else you may need. I can work around what is best for everyone and discuss a schedule for what you need.

Information Makenna C. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with all breeds, ages, and personalities of any dog. I have been around dogs my whole life and it is my passion. I would, however, like to know the dogs personality type and how they get along with people, other animals, and children. I would like to know if there are any special instructions or information I need to know ahead of time so I make sure everyone is happy :) Are they leashed trained/do you let them off the leash? Do they tend to try to run away? Are they shy or territorial? Where do they usually sleep at your home? What is their feeding schedule/dietary needs/what treats they can have? If you prefer, we can arrange a time to bring your dog over to my home first to make sure it works for you/your dog or I can come over to your home first if I will be taking care of them there.
A typical day
I would be able to feed them breakfast then take them on a morning walk then come back and hang and play with them if you would prefer more time spent with them. There is a big pond with a trail right down the road from my house I take my dog to as well as at Scott's Flat lake around the corner. I can feed them in the evening too and take them on another walk after with more love and play time <3 If you have any suggestions of a place you know your dog/dogs love to go, I am always down to go somewhere new!
