I’m currently available and working from home, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends depending on your scheduling needs. I have a fully vaccinated household with just myself, my husband, and our two dogs, Hunter and Rose. Hunter is a very friendly, well-behaved dog who enjoys going to the dog park almost every day. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities and is also very friendly with people and children. Rose is our sweet girl who is lovely, affectionate, and incredibly smart. She has a wonderful personality and is comfortable around other dogs. Both Hunter and Rose are used to being part of our everyday family life, so visiting dogs will have plenty of opportunities for companionship and socialization if they are comfortable with it. A Comfortable, Dog-Friendly Home I have a home with a private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I **pick up after the dogs every day** to keep the yard clean and comfortable. They have elevated dog beds for relaxing, a kiddie pool filled with toys for playtime, and a backyard fan to help keep them comfortable when spending time outside. Dogs staying with us will also have **24/7 access to the inside of our home through a large doggy door**, so they can move freely between the house and backyard whenever they need to. They will be treated as part of the family and are welcome to spend as much time indoors as they want. In addition to plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day, visiting dogs will receive **at least one walk every day**, with additional activity and outdoor time depending on their individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is to make every dog staying with us feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home while their family is away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, loving care in a home environment.

I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for while their families are away. I care for pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, meals, and potty breaks. In my home, they have access to a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor and outdoor space. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie. Growing up, I was frequently around pets including caring for my own and helping my mom with pet sitting. If there was an animal at any event, you could almost guarantee that I was snuggled right up beside them. My love for animals has only grown as I have opened my heart and my home to these amazing creatures. Over the years I have cared for numerous animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and lizards. I currently share my home with two adorable bunnies. Pets require a lot of hard-work and dedication, but the reward of a happy pet is worth every amount of effort. If needed, I am able to assist any animals with behavior issues or that require special care such as taking meds I currently work part time from 1pm to 6pm and have weekends free so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am a very attentive pet sitter. If a pet is not already cuddled up next to me, I take regular breaks from whatever I am doing to check on them. Even if I bring my homework, I will make sure your pet is my number one priority and does not get into any trouble
