Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a former veterinary assistant, veterinary receptionist, and kennel manager, I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including seniors, anxious pets, puppies, kittens, and pets requiring medications. In your home, I will follow your pet's routine closely, maintain a clean environment, monitor for any health concerns, and provide regular updates and photos. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

Information Mackenzie J. would like to know about your pet

lease let me know about any medications, medical conditions, allergies, mobility concerns, fears, triggers, reactivity, behavioral issues, escape tendencies, feeding instructions, or anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I have experience working with senior pets, anxious pets, shy cats, puppies, and pets with special needs. The more information you can provide about your pet's routine and personality, the better I can ensure they have a safe, happy, and successful experience.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor visits to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. A typical visit may include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment activities, medication administration if needed, litter box maintenance, and lots of affection and attention. For more active pets, I enjoy walks, games, and interactive play. For senior or anxious pets, I focus on creating a calm, stress-free experience and moving at their pace. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

Mackenzie was very helpful to us in our first time boarding Cody in her home. She was very thorough and answered all of our questions promptly. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent cute photos of Cody’s adventures in her care. We felt like she treated him like her own pet and we would certainly use her services again!

Mackenzie is an absolute GEM!! 100% will use her again for dog sitting. She reassured me constantly that my black lab was feeling comfortable and loved while I traveled for 5 days. I received the perfect amount of photos and texts through my trip and am so grateful to have found her!

Mackenzie has been our pet sitter for our dog Max for a long time. He has many medical issues and she is able to give his medications and supplements with ease. She keeps us updated on how he is doing with photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone I know! Her fiancée Elijah is great as well and a big help. It’s great there is always someone there.
