“Really appreciate Kennedy coming to watch our babies so they weren’t alone all day in an unfamiliar place while on vacation. She showed up on time and sent us pics and videos during the day.”

“Makenzie is great to work with and listens to you when you tell her what the routine and feeding schedule is for your animals…keeps in contact and will do multiple meet and greets. I was relaxed and not worried about my animals while I was gone because I knew they were in good hands. Will definitely use Makenzie again and would refer her for sure. I can’t thank her enough!!!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly understands how important your pets are—they’re family. As a single dog mom to my mini Aussie, I know firsthand the bond, attention, and care our pets need every day. My dog and I are inseparable, and that same level of love and dedication is exactly what I bring to every pet I care for. I also have a cat named Ollie, and he and my dog Oakley are the best of friends, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand their different personalities and needs. Having had a dog at every stage of my life, caring for animals comes naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy the companionship they bring, and I have a strong nurturing side that makes me attentive, patient, and loving. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like my own. You can trust that your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I work from home as an entrepreneur, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Because of this, your pets won’t be left alone for long periods—I’m able to provide consistent care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My day-to-day routine easily revolves around the needs of the pets in my care, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering care, or simply giving them extra attention and comfort. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, and I can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Having this flexibility allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’m lucky to live on 160+ acres with my family, which gives pets plenty of safe, open space to explore, play, and get their energy out. There are a few other friendly animals here, all well-socialized and used to being around other pets, so your dog would have a fun and positive environment while staying with me. I always supervise interactions and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and included. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions—to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and tidy, so you can come back to both a happy pet and a well-cared-for space. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment, whether your pet is staying with me or I’m staying with them.
