About Makala
Hi there,thanks for having a look at my profile. My name is Makala, I'm 28 and recently just moved to the Mount from home in Ireland for a big NZ adventure. I am incredibly passionate about animals and studyied zoology in college and being a pet mother to dogs, cats, rabbits and ducks over the years has also taught me a thing or two about them. I have also work experience working in a vet clinic, a wildlife park and extensive experience minding my family and friend's dogs. Before moving to New Zealand, I was already a walker/sitter on Pawshake in Dublin and juggled pet sitting with my day job of working as a biomedical scientist. I would love to have the opportunity to mind your little treasures or bring them for a lovely walk. If you have any queries or want to know anything at all please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm available for walking, minding your pets at your house any day or the week 😊
