About: I have had pets of all shapes and sizes, all phases of life for my own entire life. I love getting to know the personalities of the pets in my life to make us both comfortable and confident in our environment! I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability to work out a schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I am happy to discuss special needs or extra details important for making your four legged family member feel safe and cared for while you are away.

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always had pets, ranging from hedgehogs to donkeys! I am very passionate about animal care and ensuring all animals are pampered and well-loved. My family and I recently lost our two oldest pups, 16-year-old queen diva ZuZu Bailey and 10 year old loveable doofus Bandit. They were huge parts of our life and we miss them terribly, but through the loss we gained Stevie Nicks and Princess Buttercup. They love to play with others! They are accompanied by 2 cats who are treated like royalty and have their own enclosed catio with tunnels. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as giving medications or tending to special needs. Your pet(s) will be in a safe environment and receive the same love and attention as ours! I teach part-time, so I am often home during weekdays and always during summers. When I do work, I am only a short distance and can easily come home during the day to check on the furry friends. Our fenced, spacious yard is perfect for galavanting and play. Our youngest pup is still learning not to chew the remote and is kenneled only if she will be alone for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, dogs are free to roam in our house!
About: I helped raise French bulldogs from birth in 3 different litters and have live with pets my entire life. I can walk, run, play, and help your dog with whatever you need me too. I’m currently a wrestler at grand view university so I would need to manage school, wrestling, and taking care of your pets. I will make time for your animal I have a fenced yard and lots of toys and tennis balls for my pets and will sit outside and play with my dogs or I can sit inside and sit with your dogs.

“Robbie has watched my grouchy old lady cat for me multiple times and goes above and beyond each time. She brought lunch over to sit with her while she checked on food and water levels to give her some cuddles and social time. She takes care of all animals as if they were her own and is the best of the best! Fully recommend - 5 stars !! 🙃”
Kamrin D.
“Kamrin, is a very reliable dog walker. We have 5 dogs, all of different breeds. He did very well with managing the different dog personalities and keeping them in control. I would definitely recommend him to customers because it can be hard to find someone who manages the different behaviors we see in dogs”

Willow loved her visit from Quentin! I received multiple photos and updates during the visit and everything went great. My pup is currently injured and Quentin followed her care instructions and she seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. I will definitely book again!
