Trustworthy & experienced sitter.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am currently working from home and I would love to watch your pup! I have grown up with dogs of small and large sizes. I currently live in a townhouse and one small 11 year old dog, who is easy going and friendly. I live near a park with a large grass area. I recently helped raise a black lab puppy that is now 2 years old and moved out. I’ve been around and cared for multiple breeds, such as Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Havanese, Frechie, etc. I am extremely responsible and reliable. I am up early and enjoy going on walks. I look forward to hearing from you and watching your dog!

Markaela was wonderful! She was so kind and sent us photos daily. Our pup Soren got lots of cuddles, walks, and love while we were away. Hands down the best dog sitter we've had!

Markaela was a huge help to walk my dog following my surgery, and she was comfortable implementing the training steps I’ve been working on too. Even offered to pick up breakfast or coffee on her way. So grateful for her help!

Markaela was very kind and gave my dog a safe place to stay. Her dog Peanut was a great playmate for my dog Stanley. She checked in with pictures every day to give me updates on how he was doing. I would definitely use her again!

Markaela is amazing with dogs and they love her. She is good at giving them love and care, as well as teaching them tricks and obedience. I highly recommend her and trust her with my dog.
