Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & Reliable Dog Walker
I’ve been around dogs and caring for them from a young age, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved has always come naturally to me. At 19, I began caring for dogs professionally through Wag, where I gained experience walking and caring for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from small Chihuahuas to larger breeds like Pit Bulls, sometimes caring for multiple dogs in the same day. My experience goes beyond walks as well. I’ve provided in-home dog sitting and understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet and respecting their home. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, routines, and personalities. I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their owner’s instructions closely while still making our time together fun, loving, and enjoyable.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mackenzie has helped care for my dogs for many years, and I have always been able to trust her with them. Over the years, I’ve had several different breeds, including two Chihuahuas, a Doberman, a Pit Bull, and now two Yorkies, so she has experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and personalities. Mackenzie has walked my dogs at least twice a week and has also stayed in my home to care for them many times while I was away or working. She has always treated my pets with love, patience, and respect. She is responsible about keeping me updated, even with the little things, and communicates with me about how my dogs are doing and behaving. I work full-time as a painter, so it has always given me peace of mind knowing that my dogs have someone reliable checking on them, spending time with them, and making sure they are cared for. I would definitely recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone loving, responsible, and trustworthy to care for their pets.

Schedule
Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer periods of care when needed. My flexible schedule also allows me to work around each pet’s normal routine, so they can stay comfortable and receive the care and attention they’re used to.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I live in a pet-friendly, first-floor apartment that makes getting outside for walks and potty breaks very convenient. While I don’t have a private backyard, my apartment community has two large dog parks within walking distance, right behind my building. The parks provide plenty of space for outdoor time, along with dog toys, fresh water fountains, and waste bags. I always follow each owner’s preferences regarding dog parks, interactions with other dogs, walks, and outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications or special care instructions, and whether their pet normally stays in a crate or is allowed to roam freely. I also treat every client’s home with care and respect. Communication is very important to me, so whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll provide regular updates and photos. I can let you know when they’ve eaten, had water, gone outside, used the bathroom, how their walk went, and how they’re doing overall. I’m also happy to communicate beforehand about your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs and arrange a meet-and-greet when needed so both you and your pet can feel comfortable before their care begins.
