Pet lover, skilled in quality care!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Mackenzie! I am a longtime pet lover that would love to help with any pet sitting or animal care needs! I have been caring for dogs and cats as an overnight pet sitter and dog walker for 10 years. I work professionally as an animal care professional at the Virginia Aquarium and have experience in positive reinforcement based training as well as animal behavior. During college, I worked as the official dog walker/animal handler for Florida Southern College’s Emotional Support Dog for three years. This experience allowed me to practice good walking skills and obedience in high stimulation events and crowded areas! I believe that pets are a valuable part of the family and that their care is so important! My own two dogs meant the world to me, and finding a pet sitter that prioritizes their care was always a very important thing to me. I would love to help provide quality care to you and your pets!

Mackenzie is an amazing animal lover who would be great for any pet! She is great with dogs and cats(and every animal in between), and actually had a job as a dog-walker for her university, so she is a pro. She is someone I would undoubtedly trust with any animal, and her love for them is apparent. She is kind, attentive, and caring, and her work as a petsitter and animal lover would be great for any pet in need!

Mackenzie was so important to me and my dog Riley (Wheaten Terrier) for several years. I work at a small college and she was the one who would walk and take care of him when I wasn't able. When he would see her you could see the joy and love he felt for her. I was always confident that he was well loved and taken care of all the time. When my wife and I would go out of town he would sometimes have weekends with Mackenzie and I would see wonderful pictures of his adventures while I was away. I can say with no hesitation she is a wonderful and trustworthy person.

Mackenzie was a dog sitter for my dog Goose, and she did a fantastic job!! She made sure to talk him on 2-3 walks a day! And she played with him, snuggled with him, and made sure he felt at home! She is one of my favorite dog sitters, and makes sure to send picture updates as much as possible! I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!
