Pet Sitting Colonial Village

About: Hi, I'm McKenna! My family currently owns 3 German shepherds in Dallas, Texas, which I care for intermittently. I've lived with large dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience walking multiple-sized dogs simultaneously. During my high school years in Texas, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and walked them several times a day. Through my Catholic high school's community service, I was additionally given the opportunity to volunteer at numerous animal shelters. I always walk dogs on a secure leash and/or harness to comply with county animal ordinances. I can follow any behavioral preferences you set forth, such as not allowing your dog to jump during introductions, etc. I am very loving with pets and will not only provide superb care, but also well-deserved belly rubs! I am a former legal assistant, currently studying for the LSAT, which provides great flexibility during weekdays. I am moving to Raleigh at the beginning of August for a career transition, and I can work the entirety of July in the Charlotte area. Safety and kind care are key. I'm committed to the security of your home, as I handled very sensitive and private information while working for a personal injury firm these past 2 and a half years. I will provide a reassuring environment for your furry friend and ensure you stay communicated through photos and quick responses.

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.

“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! Not only was she a great communicator, sending pictures and updates, but she went above and beyond in her care for my dog Nova. I was able to trust her completely and had no worries while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets and I personally plan to use her again!!”

“Weiying did an amazing job taking care of my senior cat and my brand new kitten. I had to travel unexpectedly and was so worried to leave the kitten, but her visits put my mind at ease. She was very communicative and played with him tons. Great communication and fast to respond. Highly recommend!”

Christine M.

“Alyssa was great with our cat squad! They were all instantly comfortable with her and she showed them all the love while we were away. We will definitely book with Alyssa again!”

“Very reliable. Always takes the cutest pics of Myles. I’ve had to use a dog sitter last minute before and she always pulls through. 10/10 recommend.”

Brandi S.

“Lora is an amazing sitter. Very attentive, communications and updates are very detailed, accompanied by adorable photos. I always have tremendous peace of mind when my cats are in Lora’s care while I’m away. My favorite sitter!”

Nika L.

“Zora did a phenomenal job taking care of my two cats. She took the time to do a meet and greet prior, and they loved her. She was also successful given my shy boy his meds. She also was great at handling their naughty moments, knocking over a vase of flowers and cleaning up the mess. I will definitely be booking again when the need arises.”

Victoria M.

“Gina was very patient with my chaotic schedule and my very anxious puppy. We were visiting Charlotte and I would ask for her when we visit again.”

Kathi A.

“Rachel was amazing! She was reliable, communicative and made me feel comfortable that my dog was in good hands! She also braved the snow with my dog :)”

Kelly L.

“Sophie was an amazing sitter! Even before she started watching our animals, she proved her outstanding reliability in an instant! I had recently moved and I forgot to update the address and even though she went to the wrong address, she still showed up to the meet and greet! She took so many pictures while we were away and went above and beyond by making sure she fulfilled all the instructions left. I would highly recommend her if you want someone who not only deeply cares, but someone who is incredibly trustworthy! 😁”

Maddie L.

“Always communicative and even helped bring in big packages we received while we were away! She went above and beyond to make our pups feel loved and us at peace while away.”

Logan S.

“Due to my job she wasn’t able to meet my dogs prior and they were comfortable enough with her to go outside with her. (My older dog can be wary of new people sometimes)”

Esontay M.

“Melissa is always punctual, communicative, and so gentle and loving with my 15‑year‑old Aussie — and she’s just as kind to me. What more could we ask for!”

Lisa L.

“Amber was great with my dogs! Very communicative and it was my first time getting a dog walker so I was definitely nervous. But she was wonderful! Will definitely be getting her again.”

Sara H.

“Bailey is always a wonderful sitter to our cat Mama! She gives her love, treats and always sends us lots of pictures. Highly recommend booking for your pet services!”

Jaime G.

“Kim does a great job! Lily gets along so well with her. She burns a lot of energy during Kim’s visits and sleeps better at night. Kim is an excellent communicator and super friendly. So easy to work with. I’m very grateful to have her help caring for Lily!”

Sara S.

“I can't believe you've been watching Mufasa for a year now! He loves getting to play and cuddle with you! I appreciate knowing my sweet boy is well taken care of and loved when I'm away. The pictures are always fantastic, as well! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! It means the world to me!”

Lindsey D.

“Rachel is great! She has been letting my little dog out during the day regularly while I’m away at work. She is always on time and communicates well and takes cute pics :) couldn’t recommend Rachel more!”
