Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember! I grew up with two 125 lb labradors & was in charge of feeding them & playing with them. After Max & Chelly, we got a pitbull/boxer mix who had more energy than a RedBull! I would run him in the yard, play with him, and take him on walks. As an adult, I’ve lived with roommates with an English Mastiff (my dream pup) and have babysat friends dogs ranging from small pugs, King Charles Cavs, and larger dogs too. I love all dogs and can’t wait to hang with your pup! We DO NOT have our own doggo or any animals in the house :)

Momo had a blast with Mackenzie as always!! They are so loving and caring. He gets belly rubs, long walks, treats and blankets, and we get regular photo and video updates and the peace of mind that Momo is in good hands. 😊😊 We keep going back because Momo loves it there so much!

Perfect stay for our pup! Mackenzie took the best care of our pup, and she’s super responsive. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout. Highly recommended!

Mackenzie and Jess are the best! They were super responsive, sent tons of updates, and took excellent care of our senior lab. We would definitely book again and highly recommend!

Just moved into town and needed someone to watch my dog while I got my new place setup. Mackenzie was the best! She took really good care of my dog and always sent pics/updates. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter.

Please let me know if your dog has special likes/dislikes or any special needs. I love knowing about dogs personalities ahead of time! Anything you think I should know, please share!

A typical day

I love to go on walks all over our neighborhood. I live near UIC, so I’ll walk around campus, through the parks in Little Italy, and all over the city. If the pup likes drives, I’ll even drive over to Lakeview and walk on Lakeshore.

There are several times during the year where I’m on break (thanksgiving, holidays, winter break, spring break, summer months) where I am completely free. My partner, Jessica, works in real estate works from home often! I’m very active and love to go on walks but can also stay in the house if that’s what the pet prefers.
