Cats & Dogs! Very Flexible!

Pet care experience

I have always had a love for animals, especially my dogs and cats! I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to give their pets a comfortable and safe environment for them to be cared for. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring they receive the utmost care and affection while you're away. I aim to create a nurturing environment that mimics the comforts of your home. Whether it's maintaining consistent routines, providing stimulating playtime, or administering medications, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care, as I would for my own! I have potty trained both of my dogs and slept with them, when they were puppies. I can walk, feed, bathe, and medicate dogs (feed and medicate cats).

Mackenzie Shields is one the best dog and cat caregivers I know. She has such a love for animals and takes such wonderful care of mine. She has watched my Saint Bernard, senior basset hound and my Coton puppy. Mackenzie is highly recommended in every way. She is responsible, caring, and would treat any animal as if it were her own!

Mackenzie would be an amazing person to watch anyones little fur babies. She has owned pets her entire life. She is absolutely amazing with animals! I personally would trust her with my dog any day. She is so compassionate and caring. I would recommend her to anyone!

Mackenzie is a wonderful, caring and responsible young woman with extensive experience with animals. She has been the loving companion of many pets of her own in addition to caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors. She has cared for our golden retrievers from puppies through adulthood and we trust her implicitly in our home in our absence. Mackenzie engages with animals and provides the love and care any owner would want and even proactively sends us updates and pictures so we can relax knowing our pet is in good hands and getting lots of attention! I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my pets in my home by providing an environment where my dogs and cats personalities can shine! I have a fenced yard for my two Coton de Tulears and a screened-in porch for my cat to look outside through. My dogs are potty-trained and my cat is litter-box trained.

Information Mackenzie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs and/or medications. How is your dogs temperament? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Is your dog leash trained?

A typical day

I love to take my dogs on walks around my neighborhood, hiking trails, and beaches in our area. I’ll play with your dogs in backyards or local dog parks!
