Dietitian who misses her dogs!
Pet care experience
I'm a 24 year-old dog lover who has grown up with 6 labs in my lifetime & fully understands how to care for dogs across their lifespan from puppies to old age! Apart from my family's dogs, I've been dog sitting other family's dogs since I was in high school, almost 10 years now, & love every second of it!
Reviews
Mila had a great time with Mackenzie & very much appreciated the walk!
I would recommend Mackenzie Lane to ANYONE to look after their pets. I know she would treat every pet as if they were her own. She has grown up her whole life living with either 2 or 3 dogs at a time. They have taught her compassion and empathy which she exudes to every animal she comes across. A perfect example of this is, a little over a year ago we rescued a 6 month old puppy who was extremely traumatized and abused and afraid of everything from people/household appliances turning on/cars/bikes/etc and even grass if you even imagine that and Mackenzie took her time and patience with her every single day and I'm happy to say this once fragile and scared pup is now the most affectionate pup who LOVES every single person/animal she meets. I know wholeheartedly without Mackenzies' loving and caring spirit she would never be the dog she is. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Mackenzie take care of their pet and no doubt would they be taken care of as if they were her own.
Mackenzie is an amazing dog sitter and person! She is kind, caring and responsible. My dogs are like family and it is so great having someone like her be able to make them feel at ease, which makes us feel at ease traveling or being away for our kids functions! She has watched my playful pup along with my high anxiety dog and makes them feel comfortable every time we are away! She is the best!
My dog Lily LOVES Mackenzie! She takes Lily for long walks and gives her so much exercise when I can't come home in the middle of the day. She is always on time and sends me lots of pictures of Lily on their walks and playing in the yard. She will always feed Lily when I need her too and is very flexible with my schedule. She also always keeps me updated with when she's at my house and how lily is doing, which i greatly appreciate. I had Mackenzie dog sit for a whole day too and she was very respectful and took great care of my pup! 10/10 recommend Mackenzie for all your doggo needs!
About Mackenzie L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love walking with dogs, playing fetch, & snuggling up when it's down time as well! I'm also attentive to their needs (e.g., potty breaks) & will provide them with all the attention as you would!
Information Mackenzie L. would like to know about your pet
Ahead of time, I'd love to know if you have any rules you'd like for me to follow on walks, while giving treats, etc. I know for my dogs at home we always have them sit, "kiss", & paw before giving them a treat so I like to be mindful of other caregivers wishes!
A typical day
I'm happy to have fun with your pup while being active on walks, playing ball, hiking, etc. & while relaxing in the home. We take our dogs at home on walks in the neighborhood & hiking trails near our house to have some variety!
