Pet care is literally built into my daily lifestyle as a full-time dog mom. I’m up around 8:00 AM, and from that moment on, my day revolves around keeping every pet in my home happy, safe, and engaged. That includes feeding, exercise, structured playtime, grooming needs, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I make sure each dog gets what they need—whether that’s walks, training touch-ups, mental stimulation, or just being held and cuddled. I also plan regular outings like park trips and dog-friendly adventures to keep them stimulated and social. Caring for pets isn’t a side gig for me—it’s part of my daily rhythm and something I genuinely love. Your dog fits right into that routine and gets treated like family from the moment they arrive.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home: • I maintain a clean, pet-safe space with secure rooms, gates, and supervised access at all times. • Dogs are never left unattended around food, doors, or other pets. • I follow your dog’s feeding, potty, and sleep schedule so their routine stays familiar. • All outside time is leashed or in a controlled area, and I monitor every moment. • Crates/suites are available for dogs who prefer their own comfort space. In your home: • I respect your space and follow your instructions exactly as given. • Your dog’s normal routine is maintained to reduce stress. • I double-check all doors, gates, and safety items before leaving. • I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they’re my own, with patience, structure, and the kind of attention that builds trust and keeps them safe. My goal is always the same: a calm environment, a happy dog, and total peace of mind for you.

Pet care experience

⸻ Welcome to Mini Stays of North Carolina — where your furry family member gets VIP treatment every single day. As a dedicated dog lover and full-time dog mom, I know exactly how important it is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. At our cozy Winston-Salem setup, we offer limited, private suites so every dog gets real attention — not a warehouse full of barking chaos. Each suite includes soft bedding, fresh water, and a secure, comfortable crate for dogs who prefer their own space. Your pet won’t just be watched… they’ll be looked after. We keep things personal here. That means one-on-one care, customized routines, and outings tailored to your dog’s energy and personality. Whether it’s a chill nature walk, a ball-throw marathon, or a quiet day inside snuggled up, your dog’s day is built around what makes them happiest. And yes — you’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you never feel disconnected. We follow your dog’s schedule — early mornings, late nights, special diets, meds — whatever they need to stay comfortable and confident. We even plan dog-friendly holiday activities and enrichment days to keep tails moving and moods high. Book a meet-and-greet so we can learn what makes your dog unique and create the perfect stay for them. Mini Stays of North Carolina is where comfort, safety, and real love come together… and where your dog’s stay truly feels like a vacation.

To whom it may concern, When Makiah first mentioned becoming a pet sitter I couldn’t have imagined someone better for the job. When we first met in college I couldn’t help but love her passion for animals and nature. Surrounding are campus we would often see stray dogs and the sadness in her eyes because she couldn’t help but want to help and care for them was so heart felt. Makiah now has two dogs of her own who dearly admire and love her. I strongly believe she would be a great fit for the responsibility and nurturing your pet.
