Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Medicine Student
Hello! I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I am home in MI with my parents for the summer, so I’d love to care for your pet(s) while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and energy levels. I am also Fear Free certified, so I pride myself on providing comfortable visits.
Cat care experience

Mackenzie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Good communication. Dogs were well cared for. Thanks for the photos and videos!


Great experience! Communication was prompt during visit, loved getting pictures and updates. Flexible on drop off and pickup times which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Mackenzie.

Mackenzie is a very trust worthy pet sitter! She is a lifelong pet owner with a dog and two cats herself. In addition to being a pet owner, Mackenzie is in veterinary school, which gives me peace of mind leaving my animals with her.
Mackenzie is a wonderful pet caregiver and owner. She has been involved with pets since the day she was born. Our family has had dogs, cats, rabbits , guinea pigs, hamsters and hedgehogs, so she is very used to a wide variety of animals. She has also watched many other people‘s animals when they were on vacation and has also house sat with them at their own homes.She received her undergraduate in Animal Science at MSU and she’s now working on her her graduate degree at the University of Illinois in veterinary medicine, so she has a clear passion for any and all animals and she would be a wonderful addition to rover.com.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My pets are allowed on furniture. However, I will respect whatever rules you have in place with your pet. I tend to do an outside break every 2-4 hours depending on weather, but in the summer most days are spent outside. I feed my dog on a 2 meal schedule, but can accommodate the pet(s) normal meal routines.
Pets
A typical day
I love to provide physical exercise through walks, swimming, fetch, and play with other dogs (if allowed). On tougher weather days, I love to provide mental stimulation through meal/treat puzzles, training sessions, and play inside the house.
