Experienced Dog and Cat Sitter
Pet care experience
I am an animal person to the core and worked for an amazing rescue in Pacific Grove for over a year dealing with dogs of all ages. I have always loved all dogs and cats, big and small, old and young. I grew up with an English lab and a lab/aussie mix as well as a cat and a guinea pig. I have experience with anxious, shy, energetic, lazy, and trained service dogs. I am college educated, a great communicator, driven, and playing with animals makes me instantly happier! I appreciate a long walk and a breath of fresh air as much as your dog does! Other than animals, my passions include the outdoors, tasty food and swimming.
Reviews
Simply put, Mackenzie is amazing. She's smart, active, responsible, and caring. Because she works with dogs for a living, she understands that not all dogs are created equally. Our dogs are fabulous at home but can be challenging in public. Mackenzie understands and appreciates their strengths and limitations; as a result, when she's with them we feel very comfortable knowing that she'll avoid or manage situations that are stressful for them. She also takes great care of our house and leaves it better than she found it!
Mackenzie is the best! She has house/dog sat for my two large dogs many times without any issues. Animals love her. She took them for walks, played outside with them, and gave medication at times. One of my dogs is a bit of a beast and can be challenging at times, but Mackenzie was up to the task. Both my dogs LOVE her and I feel completely at peace leaving them to her care for any amount of time.
Mackenzie has loved animals her whole life! She grew up with both dogs and cats and always took the opportunity to be with animals. Mackenzie gets along with animals of many temperments including anxious and energetic. She has extensive experience dog sitting and dog walking. Mackenize is extremely responsible, conscientious, dependable and hard working. I always felt my pets were in good hands when left in Mackenzie's care.
Kenzie was very communicative, proactive, and caring our entire tenure. She always sent pictures and daily updates as to how our dogs and cat were doing without us! She walked our dogs more than we even do just because she enjoys it!! She stayed at our home and took well care of it to the point we didn’t even notice she stayed there. She was such an excellent Rover cover and we will 100% use her again and again!! Thank you Kenz you were our best yet!!

In a client's home, I make sure to follow all rules and guidelines in order for the pets) to stay on their usual schedule, this reduces stress for your pet. I make sure to know where the pet is at all times and be aware of any potentials dangers in the home. On a walk, I would make sure to be familiar with the route and any hazards along the way. I would always keep the dog(s) on leash and keep distance from unknown dogs. I am an incredibly clean person and will clean up after myself and more.

A typical day
I will try to find nearby park or green spaces for your dog to sniff as much as they can! I can play fetch, tug of war, or just give them so much love!
