Markenya was a great sitter for my baby boy kilo. She kept me updated and her response time is great. I definitely will bring my dog back.

Markenya took such good care of my big girl ! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, highly recommended her and will definitely book again!

She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout Willow’s stay. She cared about making sure I knew what was going on and was kind to Willow. Unfortunately, Willow had a difficult time adjusting and had several potty accidents during her stay, so I think it just wasn’t the best fit for her needs. I appreciate the care she provided while I was away.

Safety, trust & environment

In order to care for a pet in another person’s home I take certain steps to ensure the pet is well taken care of. 1. Understand the pet's feeding, exercise, and bathroom routines. 2. Ensure their health and safety by knowing medication needs and emergency contacts. 3. Provide comfort with familiar items and maintain their usual routine. 4. Communicate regularly with the pet owner for updates and any questions.

A typical day

While pet watching, I would play fetch, go for walks, have cuddle sessions, do some training exercises, or just chill while reading a book, all while making sure they are in the up most care
