Safety, trust & environment

My goal in caring for a pet in your home is to make it as though I was never even there. Your dog will receive all the love and care outlined in your necessary instructions, and your home will look just as you left it!

Information Mackenzie S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or even just preferences or quirks that I will need to take into consideration! Do they need medication or have any allergies? Do you have a doggy first aid kit in the home? Are they afraid of people wearing hats? Are they reactive towards other dogs? The goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while ensuring everyone else’s safety.

A typical day

When it comes to my own high energy girl, I take her on at least one “sniffari” a day: a walk at her own pace where we stop so she can sniff whatever her heart desires. I love to take my dog uptown for a change of scenery and allow her to soak in all the different sights, sounds, and smells. I’m also no stranger to taking her for short jaunts at the Ridges or even longer hikes at Hocking Hills.

Pet care experience

I have had just about every pet under the sun from the time I was young: snakes, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, ducks, cats, dogs, goats, horses. Currently an 18 year old cat and 8 year old miniature pinscher call me mom. What I lack in certification I make up for in a willingness to learn and breadth of experience.

Mackenzie communicated with us daily and sent pictures. She took excellent care of all of our pets, including our 18 year old cat, who needs medication every day. I would definitely recommend her.

Mackenzie is a fantastic pet owner/sitter with one cat and dog of her own. I have relied on Mackenzie in the past for excellent and reputable service that I would recommend to anyone seeking a dog/cat walker/sitter. She is detail oriented and empathetic and you can rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands when Mackenzie takes care of them.

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.
