Pet care experience

Extremely savvy house/farm sitter

I have been raised showing dogs in Conformation, Obedience, Tracking and Protection work. I am also a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of experience, focusing on balanced training and utilizing a plethora of training methods based off each dogs individual personalities/owner life style. Dogs are my absolute passion and I have been involved in all aspects of them my entire life. I've whelped litters, trained service dogs, watched dogs both in my home and my clients. I have experience grooming, with a full mobile grooming set up, as well as caring for special needs/higher maintenance dogs. I am currently only offering in home boarding for very specific scenarios, as I have two elderly dogs of my own who deserve a peaceful retirement 💖. If your kiddo is well mannered and respectful of other dogs, please feel free to inquire about boarding them with me. I give text/picture updates and am very easy to get a hold of for you to check in on your baby. I am available for drop off/pick up and offer training and grooming options while your dog is boarded. Additionally, I have owned MUCH more than just dogs, including horses/mules, goats, chickens/ducks/turkeys and a plethora of small mammals, marsupials, snakes and reptiles too. NOTICE: I have only recently activated my Rover account again, if you would like reviews of more recent clients, I will gladly provide this upon request. Additionally, I am in school mon-fri 9am-11:30am and unable to provide services during these times.

Safety, trust & environment

I mimic your normal life as much as possible as I believe this provides the most comfort for your pet while you are away. Upon meet and greet, or sooner, please fill me in as much detail as you feel is necessary on your day-to-day life, your pet's quirks, even the small things that might seem silly. I GET IT! 😀)

Mackenzie was patient with us and understanding when our plans changed and we had to modify our stay. I would recommend her to anyone who needs dog boarding. A very sweet young woman.

Mackenzie was great! She was super great with communication, put my concerns at ease and took great care of the pup! We hadn’t used rover before but we will again especially to book with Mackenzie since our pup did so well with her and loved playing with her dogs.

Mackenzie was both accommodating and reassuring. We could enjoy our trip even more knowing our dog was being well cared for. Thank you!

Mackenzie was great! She took very good care of Jake, was attentive and caring, and when we had to cut our trip short, she was very understanding. We plan on making further bookings with Mackenzie for our boy Jake.
