Pet care experience

active, animal loving 26 year old!

I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals who need a little extra patience and gentleness. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering medications, and providing calm, attentive care. What sets me apart is the way I truly treat every pet like my own. I focus on building trust, paying attention to small behavior cues, and making sure each animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s energetic playtime, relaxing companionship, or extra support for senior pets, I always adjust my care to fit each pet’s unique needs.

Mackenzie is great with all types of dogs, big and small, puppies and older. She has 2 of her own at her parents house and they love her presence greatly! She is very responsible, has lots of positive energy, and I promise she will do great around your pup!

Schedule

As a current graduate student with a true passion for animals, I’m waiting until the right time to fully commit to a pet of my own — which means I love giving that care and attention to the pets I sit for. My schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits during the afternoon and evening, and I’m happy to stay with pets over weekends or throughout the week as needed. I also have breaks between classes that allow me to fit in additional drop-in visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy structuring my day around making sure each animal receives consistent, loving, and attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether in my home or my client’s home. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, their regular food schedule, clean spaces, and a cozy place to relax. I follow all instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and routine so they feel secure and well cared for.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of play, affection, and mental stimulation. For dogs, that may mean walks, outdoor time, and interactive play. For cats, I focus on gentle play, enrichment, and calm companionship. I make sure all pets are well fed, hydrated, exercised, and given time to rest in a comfortable space.

I always appreciate knowing a pet’s routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, medical needs, medications, behavioral quirks, and any anxieties or triggers. Understanding these details helps me provide the best, most personalized care and ensures your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away.
