Veterinary nurse ready to help!
Pet care experience
AVAILABLE HOURS: Mon-Fri after 4 PM Sa-Su: ALL DAY I am currently a veterinary nurse and still in school. I worked with a vet clinic in boarding/kennels for 2 years! We would walk them twice during our shifts, give them play time and feed them regularly! I have experience with difficult dogs and dogs that shower you with kisses! I'm 100% comfortable with any size dog, I've handled them all!! I am a huge dog lover and my dogs are my babies! I am comfortable transporting dogs, cleaning up after them, taking them wherever they want to play, etc. I have a lot of experience when it comes to boarding dogs and taking care of the animals that are leaving their owners for a little bit while they are on vacation. I definitely learned the techniques to keep them happy! I have also worked at Oswego Animal Hospital as a pharmacy technician. Animals are my life!
Reviews
She was perfect. Easiest instructions, directions, care, and payment I've had in finding/using a walker. Thank you Mackenzie!
Mackenziie is wonderful with my dogs. She truly cares about the dogs and the dogs can sense that . I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care.
She loves dogs more than anyone I know!!! So good with all breeds. Reliable and flexible! Always our go to when we need a sitter for our bulldog:)
About Mackenzie N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My one dog (1.5 year old newfoundland) stays in his cage while I am away, as he is not fully trained to be left alone just yet (puppy tendencies still...) I also have a 7 year old springer spaniel who has TONS of energy and would love to play! I love taking dogs on walks and my own two dogs LOVE the water. Of course not all dogs are water dogs - BUT - I will do whatever makes them, and their family, happy! Playtime is the most important part, especially when their family is away.
Information Mackenzie N. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs. It's also very important to know their limits and boundaries. From working at the vet, I have learned multiple triggers for dogs. Some don't like their toes touched, some are head shy. It is very important to know if your dog has any of those triggers. Any medications, health concerns, any specific accommodations are all important as well!
A typical day
I will do whatever your dog LOVES doing. Water, walks, runs, parks, doggie daycare - ANYTHING! I love energetic dogs but I also adore the quiet reserved babies as well! I love making peanut butter treats and taking them to get pup cups & (dog friendly) ice cream. My boys LOVE the water, pools & lakes are the best activity in the summer!
