Gettin' doggy with it!
Pet care experience
You know that sign that says, "Dogs welcome, humans tolerated"? That's me in a nutshell (although I do enjoy human company as well). I understand, our dogs are part of the family. It's not easy for us to be away from them, hoping that they're okay and well taken care of while we're away. That's where I come in, to give you peace of mind that your fur-baby is in the best paw-sible hands while you're away (with pictures and video updates every hour!) I am patient and cuddly, athletic and a good leader. Owning working dogs, I've learned the importance of exercising the brain just as much as the body. I love to stimulate the senses with hide and go seek or an exciting game of follow the scent. My dog loves it! As far as my schedule goes, I'm pretty flexible. I work part time and attend college, but I’m home at least three days out of the week full time. I'm able to accept last minute bookings frequently and happily. I love the outdoors and I am always outside, so you can trust that I will make the most of any time spent with your loved one, young or old. You'll come home to find them well exercised, slobbery, and smiling. I'm currently working part time, so I am available most weekdays and weekends to care for your pup! Afternoons and evenings I am most open, but feel free to contact me with any special requests!
Reviews
Mackenzie was super sweet! My puppy is a handful and I had never left him alone for 8 hours straight. So she popped in to check him, give him lunch, clean up any puppy messes, and some play time before I came home from work. I definitely recommend and would rebook!
Mackenzie has stayed in our home with our two dogs on multiple occasions. We trust her implicitly. She takes fantastic care of our girls: loving, snuggling and playing with them. They love her right back and we consider her part of the family. She's a great snuggle buddy for our cuddler and patient with our persnickety girl. I can't say enough good things about her!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a nice sized apartment with a balcony that gets plenty of sun for laying outside. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood with walks and parks right outside. Regardless of the housing situation, I can ensure that your dog has its mental and physical needs taken care of in order to be the most balanced and relaxed he/she can be while in my care!
Home
Information Mackenzie R. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with dogs of all ages! However, in order for me to care for your dog to the best of my ability, honesty regarding your dogs behavior and quirks is vital! This means noting all aggression, preferences, and behavioral quirks that should be noted during their stay. This means they'll be as comfortable as possible, minimizing anxiety for them!
A typical day
I believe that mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation, and that a dog that is most balanced when both needs are given appropriate attention. That means brain stimulation games, command practice, hide and go seek, and lots of walks, runs, and swimming! There are dog friendly bikes available near me, as well as dog beach and dog parks depending on what your pup likes the most!

Availability
As an owner of two dogs, one puppy and one senior, it’s important that they are well exercised and have everything they need BEFORE I go off to work or school. That includes a minimum of one trip to the off leash park next to my house, fetch, brain stimulation puzzles, enforcing training and behavior etc. I will personally tailor a plan to your dog based on their temperament, exercise needs, overall personality!
