I telework, and can be as present as needed for pet care. I can visit with your fur friends or stay awhile; I love having the company and the opportunity to go outside and bring some movement to my day.

Safety, trust & environment

I take care to follow established routines and restrictions when I watch pets so my visit keeps them comfortable and on track. I have petsat many anxious and in-training pets and know how important schedule and environment are to keep a content animal. I respect their personalities as much as I respect the rules of the home.

Information Makensi C. would like to know about your pet

It’s always important to me to know the temperament and health of the pet I’m watching, especially if they are nervous or need certain accommodations. I’m a stranger coming to their home, and I like to approach pets as they want to be approached.

A typical day

Much like the dogs themselves, I am a big fan of fetch and tug of war. I’ve been working with my sister on the training of her dogs, so I’d love to practice new skills along with your pet. I appreciate any opportunity to get outside, so I like to take the scenic route in town, especially the parks.

Walking and Waggles Enthusiast

Pet care experience

Fickle or friendly, fanged or furry, I’ve cared for all range of temperaments and types of animals since I was young. I’ve house sat with dogs and cats, ranging from a geriatric cat who needed medication administration, to a German shepherd puppy who knew how to get on to the counters. I’m no stranger to smaller pets like bunnies or less furry pets like snakes and fish, and friends and family have trusted me with daily visits as well as long-term boarding. I know how important it is to help keep pets on routine and have participated in some training sessions with dogs in my care. I am a friend and a calming presence to the animals I watch, and I want to offer that same consideration to anyone in need of pet care.

Makensi was amazing! She was very flexible and communicative throughout her time watching our dog Pegasus. She even handled a last minute injury right before we left that required her to give Pegasus medicine and take on/off a cone. We highly recommend Makensi and hope to book her again in the future!

We’ve used Makensi multiple times before, and this time when we traveled for our destination wedding. Makensi is so reliable, a great communicator, clean, and our dog loves her. Knowing we had the piece of mind with Makensi watching our dog made us be able to enjoy our wedding/vacation.

Makensi is the best. Always very thoughtful with my space and Riff is always relaxed when I come home to him. I also appreciate her putting up with a neurotic dog dad like me. Highly recommend!

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.
