Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine — it is my routine. I do this full-time, which means your pet gets my full attention, flexible scheduling, and consistent care throughout the day.

About McKayla P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Right now, I’m focusing on dog walking and giving pups a safe, engaging, and positive experience on their daily outings. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working in a shelter setting, working with all types of dogs — from social butterflies to anxious or reactive pups. Every walk is tailored to each dog’s needs, energy level, and comfort. I read body language, move at their pace, and provide structure, enrichment, and calm guidance. Your dog will get patience, safety-focused handling, and the same love and attention I’d give my own.
Information McKayla P. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what each dog’s personality is like, how they do on leash, and if there’s anything that makes them nervous or extra excited. I also ask about their favorite treats, toys, and daily routine so I can keep things familiar and fun for them.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs busy and happy! We’ll go on walks, explore new smells, play with toys, do puzzle games, and maybe practice a few fun training tricks. Every dog gets one-on-one attention and plenty of love.

Pet care experience
I have 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments — from confident, easy-going pups to anxious, shy, and reactive ones. I’m trained in reading dog body language, building trust, and providing calm, structured, loving care. Whether your dog needs extra space and patience or is a social butterfly ready for adventure, I meet them where they are so they feel safe, supported, and understood. Every dog in my care gets individualized attention, enrichment, and a secure environment
Reviews
McKayla is a dog whisperer. My dog can be fearful and reactive of strangers and she took to McKayla right away. She walked my dog several times while I was on a 2 week trip, and I felt so comfortable knowing my quirky pup was in good hands. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs who have special considerations. So happy I found her as a walker! Highly recommend her.
McKayla was amazing with our dogs! She came out to meet our dogs before the visit so they could get to know her. She sent updates and photos as well during her visit. Great first experience using Rover!
McKayla is so good to my pups and flexible with our schedules She always alerts me to issues and I love the funny videos she sends of my wacky pups Just is the BEST!!!
Second time booking McKayla and once again very happy! My dogs love her and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands when I’m away. Thank you!
