Running bud + Trail time + Pure Joy

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Makenna, I work for Montana nurses by day, plus backpacker, yogi, and vocalist for fun. I have ample experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from Jack Russells (my childhood dog) to German Shepherds, Weimaraners, and mixed breed shelter pups. I'm intentional about spending quality time with doggos, by way of making sure to cater walk times and attention levels to fit the needs of the dog(s) and their owner. My mom was a dog trainer in her professional life, thus teaching me some important skills on how to be "dog literate", if you will. Limited to home visits due to pet-free rule in my tenant contract. Questions? Feel free to contact me, I am fairly responsive by phone or email. Can't wait to hangout with your furry friend!

This was a great experience. Makenna was amazing, and was able to run with Maple for almost 4 miles! You can also tell that Makenna was very knowledgeable around animal and was able to meet maple understand her needs and deliver! I highly recommend Makenna, and will use her each week! Thanks Makenna, your Maples new best friend. Well, except for me! Tim

Makenna is the best! She filled in for someone else at the last minute, so I didn't expect much as I was in a serious bind. She loved on my babies and sent lots of pics while I was away. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house. I would highly recommend Makenna to watch your fur babies!

My two dogs LOVE Makenna!!! She is always on time, communicates well, and gives the dogs extra attention. One of my dogs was recently adopted and needed some extra love while I was away for a trip and Makenna made her feel very comfortable and happy.

Makenna was great with my dog, great communication with me, took excellent care of our house while I was gone. Highly recommended, and will definitely turn to Makenna first the next time we need a sitter.

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Makenna S. would like to know about your pet

I like to meet the dog before sitting him or her. Personality, social abilities (around people or other dogs), and compatibility with new people are important traits to cover. Dogs without manners/discipline with a volatile demeanor are less desirable.

A typical day

Walks will be around Mt. Helena, Mt. Ascension, Centennial Park, and the neighborhoods surrounding the cathedral. Activities might include playing catch, visiting farmers markets (if your dog likes the social time), and perhaps a dayhike or two!
