Mackenzie can care for
Availability
I’m on summer break after completing my MBA from Northwestern so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day and can easily fit in walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dog, Winston, on four walks a day and would love to have another furry friend join us (or am happy to do solo walks)! I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the week and on weekends.

About Mackenzie A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with medications, supplements, and senior dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe and loved while in my care. I am not current accepting boarding clients.
Information Mackenzie A. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know about your pet’s personality, routines, and any quirks! Please share how they get along with other dogs and/or cats, feeding or medication needs, and favorite activities or treats.
A typical day
I start each day with a long morning walk around the park, followed by playtime and cuddles. I love taking dogs on neighborhood strolls or short hikes nearby to keep them happy and active. We mix in naps, enrichment toys, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. I also send photo updates so you can see what your pup is up to, as I know how much I miss my own dog when I’m away!

Pet care experience
I’ve been a proud dog mom for the past 4 years to my lovable Lab, Winston, and grew up with my family’s English Springer Spaniel who lived to be 16. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities (from energetic puppies and kittens to mellow senior pets) and have had dozens of happy clients through Rover and my Northwestern grad school community in Evanston. I’m home most of the day thanks to my flexible post-grad school schedule before I start full-time again in Sept, and I pride myself on great communication. You will always get photo updates and peace of mind while you’re away! 💛🐱🐶

Reviews
Mackenzie A. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Both we (the humans) AND our dog loved Mackenzie! She was kind, communicative, and so caring towards our senior dog who stayed with her over New Year’s. We loved her regular updates, including photos and videos, and it was clear that my dog wanted to stay longer when I came to get him! 11 out of 10 stars, recommend with gusto!
Mackenzie was an absolute star, despite the last minute booking she was super accommodating and had no issues even though I sent a lot of instructions. She was really professional and seemed to have a lovely energy; plus Kylo seemed really happy and very well cared for. Would definitely recommend!
Mackenzie and her pup Winston made my dog feel right at home. It was a great boarding experience!
