Pet care experience

Vet Experienced Pet & Home Care!

Hi, I'm Mackenzie! I recently moved to the Milford area and am excited to serve local pet owners while building lasting relationships within the community. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I bring professional experience as a former veterinary assistant, veterinary receptionist, and dog kennel manager. Through my work in veterinary medicine and boarding facilities, I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I'm comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, multi-pet households, and pets requiring medications or special care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, medication administration, feeding, playtime, overnight care, or extra attention while you're away, I can help. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. **Because I'm new to the area, I'm currently offering free meet-and-greet consultations so you and your pets can get to know me before booking. I believe finding the right fit is important for everyone involved, especially your pets.** I pride myself on reliability, communication, and attention to detail. You'll receive regular updates and photos during visits so you always know how your pets are doing while you're away.

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.

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.

Schedule

Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine, allowing me to provide dependable and flexible care throughout the week. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, cat care, vacation care, and home check-ins. I strive to accommodate each pet's normal routine and provide personalized care based on their individual needs.

Mackenzie can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
