Pet care experience

Pet and Farm Sitter!

I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on some acreage which allowed my family to be able to house dogs ranging from toy fox terriers to big burly St. Bernard's with all kind of barn/house cats along side them. I have worked as a Veterinarian Assistant for 3 years and continued my animal journey by acquiring an Animal Science Degree. Over the years I have cared for animals on the side to supplement my love for them and now I can finally try for full time under my business Animal Wrangler, LLC! During my time as a Veterinarian Assistant I have gained experience administering several different kinds of medications to dogs, cats, and farm animals. As mentioned in my bio I do farm sit as well. I have cared for horses growing up and have experience with goats, cattle, alpacas, llamas, pigs, and several other exotic animals. Please feel free to send farm inquiries through to me as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with a wide variety of animals that have a wide variety of jobs! With the dogs I can provide walks, play time, and even work some working dogs. I do have a vehicle that I can take dogs to parks and places to swim. For the cats I really leave it up to them! I can read cat body language well so I will take the playtime at their pace, if that pace includes walks in the park then I am down to clown.

Mackenzie was wonderful with our cats and was super dependable in dropping in when we needed her to. I know they will be very happy to have Mackenzie care for them again!

Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! She was always on time and sent me adorable pictures with every visit. One of my cats is very shy and scrambles under the bed when visitors show up, but she grew to trust Mackenzie over a few days. Aside from her ability to take care of pets, she's also a wonderful human being. When my flights got messed up and I had to return a day later than I anticipated, she was very understanding and willing to check on the cats that morning. Highly recommend booking Mackenzie!

I absolutely recommend Mackenzie because she has always been reliable for all of my different pets, for about a decade. She has taken care of my senior dogs (large and small), rodents, fish, horses, and even watered my plants. If I had cats then I would trust her to take care of them, too. She is confident and comfortable with administering any medications your pets may need.

Mackenzie is a literal angel! I moved to Missouri in the beginning of 2024 and found myself occasionally needing a pet sitter for my Frenchie, Cleo. I had never boarded her or left her with anyone else before, so the thought of leaving her with a sitter was incredibly stressful and nerve-racking at first. Now, Mackenzie is truly the only person I trust to come into my home and take care of my baby when I’m not around. When Cleo had a significant shoulder injury this fall, Mackenzie continued to work closely with us and bent over backwards to help us follow vet recommendations for recovery. Mackenzie has all of the hard skills (i.e., knowledge, reliability, trustworthiness responsiveness, adaptability, etc. More importantly, it is so clear how much she genuinely cares about what she does. It’s such a great feeling to know that even if I have to be away from home for a few hours longer than usual, Cleo is happy, cared for, and still spending time with someone she loves!

Schedule

I'm currently a stay at home wife so I am available most of the time as long as I have ample heads up to get you on the schedule.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
MACKENZIE can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Just give me a heads up about what your animals needs are! I have given injections, pills, ointments, and soaks to all kinds of animals. I do prefer if they are manageable for a smaller person, I'm strong enough to lift 50lbs but maybe not fight that for a walk or medication.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
