Safety, trust & environment

I have a small dog who is quiet and mostly keeps to herself. Here in my apartment complex is a great dog park with lots of trees and room to run around. I am also adjacent to a nice, walkable neighborhood and a lovely walking trail.

Information Mackenzie R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behaviors it would be good to know about. I am very attentive, but my motto is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If I need to watch out for them snagging things off tables, resource guarding, etc, that gives me a heads up of how to best take care of your pup.

A typical day

There are numerous parks within walking distance of my apartment, and plenty of walkable areas! We also have lots of toys to play with, and there is a fenced-in dog park right in my apartment complex. We can go on lots of walks, play inside, or if you have a little snuggle bear, I can definitely accommodate that too!

Pet care experience

I am new to Rover, but I've been around dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for the last 12 years, and almost 3 years ago, my baby girl came home! Unfortunately, my elder dog crossed the rainbow bridge recently, but I learned so much from him. I had him from puppy all through his senior years, and Lilith was a refresher in taking care of puppies; I am confident in my abilities to care of dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I am happy to walk your dog, welcome them into my home, or just stay in to keep an eye on him or her! I primarily work from home and make my own hours, so I have the flexibilty to cater to your pup's needs. I grew up with dogs so I've seen it all. My apartment is perfect for smaller dogs, but I can take larger dogs! Especially because I'm very close to a beautiful walking trail-perfect for using up some of that boundless energy!

Mackenzie did a wonderful job looking after our cats. We couldn't have asked more a better, more attentive and communicative caretaker!

Mackenzie was wonderful!! It was immediately apparent how much experience she has caring for animals, and she made me feel at ease knowing my fur baby would be in great care! My dog can be shy, takes meds, and has Sep anx and she handled his routine like a pro! Will definitely book again!

Mackenzie was awesome with Winston! Super reliable, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. She sent updates and took great care of him. Would definitely book her again.
