Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Mackenzie and I've been obsessed with animals since I was a kid. I started out watching my Chocolate Labs for my family and started watching neighborhood pets when I was in middle school. When I'm not walking and watching my dogs Maverick, Goose, and Fudge, I'm playing with my cat Ori and working on my animation portfolio. I'm currently working part-time as a barista while I prepare to start school in the coming fall. I work about 20-30 hours a week at this time, while also doing remote work on the side. Pet sitting can work well with my schedule, as I work in the heart of Melbourne, with easy access to the beach and the surrounding areas. I have worked with many types of dogs, from small cats and puppies to large and extra large dogs. I try to create trust with dogs and cats when I care for them. I'm always happy to meet and get to know your pets before sitting them. In addition, I am also experienced with rodents and other small pets, so I can always help take care of your other animals too. As a Lab owner, I have experience with walking big dogs (and picking up after them!). My big dog (Fudge) is a 16+ year old senior, so I'm very familiar with frequent potty breaks and senior care (including giving dogs and cats medication at a specific time of day).
Reviews
I went to visit my son in Louisiana and left my fur babies in the kind and caring hands of Mackenzie! If I could I would give her 10 stars or more. She was perfect with the fur babies and with our home. She kept us updated every day with pictures and comments. I highly highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. What a great experience and a peaceful one being so far away and able to fully enjoy our time with our son knowing they were in the AWESOME care of Mackenzie!!!!
Mackenzie is an exceptional, caring pet sitter. One of the best I’ve ever used. Fudge is an elderly dog and it’s nice to leave him with someone who is caring and competent. I can’t wait to use her again on my next trip. The boys love her!
Mackenzie is hands-down the best pet sitter I've ever used. Not only was she incredibly responsible with my pets, she was also great with our dog who has been known to be aggressive with new people. She took very good care of my two cats, dog, and pair of rats while I was out of town a couple of times, including during my wedding, and I am pleased to say that I did not have to worry about a single thing! I definitely recommend Mackenzie for your pet sitting needs!f
About Mackenzie O.
Skills
Information Mackenzie O. would like to know about your pet
It would be important to know how old the dog is, so I know how much I need to let him or her out or provide medication. On that note, it is also very important to know what medications a dog requires and how many times a day I should provide it. I also think its important to know of any foods a dog likes or should avoid, so I know what to buy in case we run out during my time pet sitting. If the dog has any allergies or illnesses I should know about, this would also be helpful information to provide beforehand.
A typical day
It depends on the dog! I've watched some dogs that prefer to play outside, so I usually play fetch with them until they're ready to come back inside. Otherwise, I try to take dogs on their favorite route through the neighborhood or community, giving them plenty of time to explore their surroundings. Sometimes, I like to take car-friendly pups on rides, especially if they love sticking their head out the window!
