The Best Care For Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

Hello! 🤗I’m Markia and I’ve been caretaking for pets since I was 13! I’ve always been the one friends & family turn to when they have questions about their pets. I have experience with puppy training, focusing on positive reinforcement to build a strong foundation. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, patient care, including administering medications and offering mobility assistance. I'm also well-versed in managing anxious or reactive dogs, using calm energy and specialized techniques to ensure a stress-free experience for everyone.🥰🙌🏽

Markia is very responsive, and a great communicator. She kept me aware of everything that was happening and sent me pictures. I’ve already asked Markia if she can watch my pups again.

We booked Markia again and had another great experience. We got plenty of updates with photos. Most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. Thanks Markia!!

Markia did a wonderful job with my cat Norman, especially for it being her first time with him. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and followed all of my instructions carefully, including taking extra care with his food, Norman has no teeth, so his dry food needs to be softened with hot water, and she prepared it perfectly, even better than I usually do. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like putting out catnip for him, and I was pleasantly surprised that Norman came out for her, which says a lot given how shy he is. I would definitely book her again!
