9 yrs experience! Loves Dogs & Cats

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Mac, I am a 23 year old, recent Chicago transplant from Connecticut. Back home I would frequently pet sit, babysit and house sit for numerous families in my town (I have plenty of references upon request). Growing up I always had pets in the house from our beloved golden retriever, to a cat, turtles and hamsters. I take pride in giving pets the same love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. I am clean and respectful of every home I house sit in. Currently I work in an office with a flexible 30 hr/week a schedule. I'm also a runner! With your permission I would love to take your pup with me! About me: I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2016 with a B.A. in Theater Studies. Since graduating, I have worked professionally as both an actor and a writer. Last year I also worked for the West Hartford Public School System as a Substitute Teacher/Paraprofessional. Following the end of the school year, I was the Director of the Mandell Jewish Community Center's Theater Camp for children ages 7-14.

Mac was very attentive and was good about getting Jakob to go on good long walks. Definitely use him again.

Mac was AWESOME. He stayed in my home with my toy poodle, mean cat, and effortless frog for a weekend. While I can't speak for the frog, the dog and cat loved him. I think the dog was on his lap most of the time. He was super easy to communicate with, easy going, and as a bonus left my place super tidy. Highly recommended!

Mac Cherney was my babysitter, dog sitter and house sitter for the last 7 years. I trusted him with all the important things in my life! I highly reccomend him because he is a kind, caring and trustworthly individual. Additionally, I employeed him as a staff member where I work...working with kids and families in a role that many adults would find challenging and he was an outstanding and dedcated staff person!

Mac is an amazing dog (and house) sitter! I have a very spoiled and pampered pooch and I’m nervous to leave him with others but knowing Mac was taking care of him I always felt so comfortable and confident. Mac took awesome care of him and gave him plenty of much-needed exercise whether it be long walks, jogs, or fun hikes. He is trustworthy and experienced- my dog loves him! We wish Mac was still around to take care of our dog- he is very hard to replace!

Information Mac C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences! Going into a dog sitting arrangement for the first time I would like to know if the dog has any allergies, if the animal is particularly sensitive or triggered by something (ex. being picked up or loud noises), if they bite, if I should keep shoes or other house hold items out of their reach and if they need assistance with anything. My golden, who recently passed after 17 years, needed a lot of extra care in her last few years. I understand how hard it is and how patient you have to be in order to take care of an animal with special needs or in their old age.

A typical day

I am brand new to Chicago! With the one couple I currently dog sit for, my favorite thing to do is to go on long walks and explore the new neighborhoods I am in. I also love going to dog parks and playing fetch with dogs. As I said before, running is definitely an option. For the most part, I am a pretty quiet 23 year old. I spend my free time writing, cooking, and binge watching tv shows. It's nice to have a little company!
