Highlights
Pet care experience
Former dog owner who misses dogs
Me and my fiancé are both former dog owners. No kids (yet). No other pets. We would love a dog but waiting to see if we have our own kids first. We are super active, I take 5 mile walks everyday, so would be happy to do lots of walks. We are 5 minutes from the beach. I love dog cuddles and am ok w them on the couch with a dog blanket. We have a fenced in concrete patio w a gate to an unfenced yard. Large grassy areas, walking paths, lagoon walks all right outside our town house. Prefer potty trained dogs only please, but I wfh and can take them out regularly.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I've known Mackenzie for over 20 years, including a stretch as roommates when we each had dogs and took care of them together. She's one of the most responsible and thoughtful people I know, and it showed in how attentive she was with our dogs day to day. She's a natural dog lover who's always walking, so she brings a ton of energy and consistency to caring for them. Now that she's excited to have dogs back in her life in a bigger way, I can say with total confidence she'll treat every dog like her own. Anyone lucky enough to have Mackenzie watch their pup is in great hands.
Mackenzie did a great job caring for her own amazing dog Koa for many years until he needed to cross the rainbow bridge, I knew her for some of those years. She now watches my husky Chopper if schedules align when I am out of town. She works from home, but is also a very active person so it is perfect for him because she is generally home all day to give him attention, but is also stoked to take him on walks between work tasks. Being the responsible dog lover that she is, he is always very happy to see her. It makes me feel at ease to know he is having a great/ time while I am away vs. having a stressful time via standard boarding. in a kennel.

Schedule
I wfh, run my own business, make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I also am an avid daily walker and v affectionate dog person. My life right now is actually ideal for a dog, but me and my fiancé want to wait until after our wedding before we consider getting one of our own.

Safety, trust & environment
I would say very high level of care! I had a pitbull / lab for 12 yrs. He was 70 pounds and needed a lot of exercise and cuddles! I’m a very loving dog person. I believe care is not just food, water and walks, but affection & attention are as important. I’m doing this to satiate my desire for a pet, without the full commitment (just yet).
