Information Mackenna V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about their: - Temperaments (reactivity, high energy, low energy, etc). - Any special routine or medications that will be required - What kind of animals they do or do not get along with best. -If they are good on or off leash. As stated my trail is quite private which is awesome for the off leashers! But I will always keep them on if that is what they do best with.
A typical day
The great thing about Nelson is the accessibility and variety of awesome trails in the vicinity. As someone who is constantly out and about walking with dogs, I enjoy a frequent change of scenery so I am always exploring new routes to better enrichen both mine and the dogs walking experience! I can adapt our walks to best suit the dogs needs -- I have easy, medium, and hard options as well as trails better suited for reactive or anxious dogs.

Pet care experience
Hey there! My name is MacKenna, and my pup Daisy and I can't wait for your dog(s) to stay with us. I grew up with various breeds and sizes of dogs such as blue and red heelers, border collie's, labs, rottweilers, a Shih Tzu, and a pug to name a few, and I have cared for or been exposed to every farm animal under the sun. Daisy is my 3 year old female German shepherd with the warmest temperament of any shepherd you’ll ever meet! She is friendly, playful, and independent. She will be your dogs best friend or keep to herself - once they set the tone, she respects it. Adopting her has been an incredibly rewarding journey thus far of positive reinforcement training, practicing patience, and keeping a grounded nervous system that dogs respond well to. We are constantly on hikes, exploring new trails, and Daisy is very calm and reserved with more anxious or reactive dogs. We have the luxury of having a trail to ourselves behind my place where we can off leash run several times a day. If your dog is older, slower, and just wants to chill, we are super happy to do that as well. I don't mind having a rest day either! Looking after other peoples dogs and giving them the utmost love, attention, and exercise while in my care is one of my greatest joys. We hope to meet you soon!
Reviews

Took great care of Dora while we were away. Would definitely use Mackenna again! Thank you!

Charlie was excited to see MacKenna and Daisy when we dropped him off for boarding, easing our guilt of leaving Charlie behind. MacKenna was very responsive, and made pick up and drop off a breeze. I would happily let MacKenna babysit out little buddy again.

Mackenna was great! Our dog can take a bit to warm up to new people but they got along great. We loved the updates!


Mackenna was amazing! So responsive and sent photo updates. The little ladies obviously had a fabulous time as they are tuckered right out. Next time I am in Nelson, I will definitely use Mackenna again - wish she lived in Vancouver!
