Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving pet care
Animals have always been a passion of mine. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for animals across a range of species. My family has almost always had at least one dog, if not more. I also had rabbits, hamsters, and birds as a child. I have a lot of experience with vet tech work and can competently administer most medications. Additionally I have a lot of experience with positive reinforcement training

Amazing! Mackenzie is the best. She walked to my house to pick up my golden retriever and mini Aussie and walked them back to her place. What service! We had a great talk on the porch about all of my golden’s quirks. He can nip, he can be aggressive with other dogs, he’s over exuberant…etc. She took it all in stride and told me not to worry. Sure enough she took care of everything and had nothing but praise for my challenging pup. She sent pics and updates throughout the entire visit. I knew they were in good hands. My Aussie has abandonment issues but she felt right at home at Makenzie’s and wasn’t stressed at all. It was the best play date ever! Both dogs enjoyed Mackenzie, her dog Bruce and they were absolutely pampered by her darling daughter Gretchen. I cannot recommend Mackenzie highly enough and I will absolutely be using her again. 5 stars all the way! She even dropped them back off at my house! Incredible service. Thank you Mackenzie!!
Mackenzie took amazing care of Fritz! I had to find a very last minute overnight for him and really appreciated how quickly Mackenzie responded and how great she was with communication. You can tell she really loves animals and is very thoughtful and attentive to the pets and people lucky enough to be in her orbit.
Mackenzie was super flexible, communicative and professional. My pup had a great time under her watchful eye. She followed all of my directions to a tee and then some. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy as well as keep me updated on her stay. If you’re looking for someone seasoned to take care of your pets, Mackenzie is your gal!

Mackenzie was wonderful with Gracie. She was kind, welcoming and let Gracie settle in at her own pace. Mackenzie's dog, Bruce, is a total sweetheart. Shared his toys and was willing to play with Gracie when she was ready. It is important to me that Gracie has kind, loving care, as she is 13, a bit shy and can be stressed because she is a rescue. Mackenzie totally got it. I should add that Mackenzie's kids were wonderful and clearly understand how to be around dogs. Would definitely have Gracie stay again and would recommend Mackenzie to a friend.

I worked with Mackenzie in an animal care setting and can say first hand that she is wonderful with animals! She is very experienced caring for a variety of species and will treat your furry family members like her own. She's watched my own dog for me while traveling and I could rest easy knowing he was in the best of hands. He is always excited to stay with her and gets tons of love.
Mackenzie was amazing with our older dog, Liz! She sent us updates and pictures regularly. She was communicative and flexible. Liz had a great time and was happy, fed, and walked when we came back. 100% recommend!

I am generally at home though I do leave at times for errands or volunteer work. During the afternoons I'm often taking my kids to various activities.

I have a fenced in yard with dog door access to the house. We have one very friendly wheaten terrier who is 2 years old and loves to play with other dogs
