*Can provide pick up and drop off services* I work from home throughout the week where care will take place. I only offer boarding for pets who are okay with a dog as I like to always make sure I am around caring for my dog. I currently care for my dog who absolutely haves loving any kind of animal friend around for company. I am able to provide constant updates and consistent breaks. If requested I also love to take the dogs to local fenced in private sniff spots to run and play.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an unfenced yard outside and will take your dog out on the leash as I do with my own. I maintain a very clean sanitary environment and provide treats, pets, and toys. I closely monitor throughout visits. I establish a consistent routine for potty breaks and exercise. If I do step away I ensure my dog is kenneled for extra safety and would prefer if you do have a kennel for your pet but is also okay if you do not as long as safety is not a concern for you or they are use to being out when alone.

Information Mckayla A. would like to know about your pet

My dog is high energy, she does calm down after a bit. Your dog must be okay with this and friendly with other dogs, my pup is a big sniffer with other dogs and loves to cuddle. Let me know if there is anything your dog needs, I am happy to help with accommodations and can maintain a consistent schedule of care needs.

A typical day

I love to provide a lot of cuddles, listen to calming music or watch your pups favorite shows with them. We will go on plenty of breaks outside and go to local private fenced in sniff spots to play and run out all their energy safely unless you would prefer they just stay at home.

Pet care experience

Coming from Texas I have grown up caregiving for animals with different needs since I can remember. I have experience in training puppies. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle care and attention they require. Also have experience with very high energy animals. My services are personalized to each pet’s individual needs, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all animals under my care. My commitment to constant communication with pet owners ensures peace of mind while you are away.

Mckayla was absolutely wonderful. They took the best care of our dog Ivy, especially being given short notice. Mckayla’s dog and our dogIvy hit it off and snuggled and played well together. Ivy received lots of walks, snuggles, and was well loved. Thank you again Mckayla for being amazing! Will definitely book again with you:D

McKayla was great with our pup. She sent lots of pictures and updates us throughout our stay. I know my dog was well cared for and had a great time with her. Definitely booking with McKayla again in the future 🙂
