Local Dog Walker – Silver Strand, Oxnard Beach, Port Hueneme
Passionate About Pets Since 2008
Hi! I’m Makayla, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats in the Oxnard area for over 15 years. What started as helping neighbors with their pets has grown into a full-time passion that I absolutely love.
Growing up in Oxnard, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. My family rescued dogs throughout my childhood, and I learned early on that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized care. This understanding shapes everything I do today.
I believe that pets are family members, not just animals. When you trust me with your furry friend, I treat them with the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities.
Living in Oxnard my entire life means I know all the best dog-friendly beaches, parks, and walking trails. I love sharing these special places with the dogs in my care, giving them new experiences and adventures.

My Approach to Pet Care

Every dog is unique, and I tailor my care to match their individual personality, energy level, and needs.

Personalized Care

I take time to understand each dog’s personality, preferences, and routine to provide the most comfortable experience possible.

Clear Communication

Regular updates, photos, and detailed reports keep you connected with your pet even when you’re away.

Safety First

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m trained in pet first aid and always prepared for any situation.

What Families Say

Don’t just take my word for it – here’s what local Oxnard families have to say about our pet care services.

“When we went on vacation, Makayla stayed at our house with our two rescue dogs. They
were so comfortable and happy when we returned. She truly treats every dog like family.”

caring approach. She understands each dog’s unique personality and needs.”

Why I Love What I Do

“There’s nothing better than seeing a dog’s excitement when I arrive for their walk, or the
peace of mind I can give families when they travel. Every day, I get to spend time with amazing animals and help strengthen the bond between pets and their families. It’s not just a job for me
– it’s my calling.”
