I work full time at a veterinary hospital nearby. Throughout the week, I work roughly 12 hour shifts with a 45min lunch break in between. I stay home Saturday-Monday. That being said, on days that I am working, a lot of them are when my fiancée is off work. If I can’t be home with your pet/s, she more than likely will be! In the case that we do leave the house, I have cameras set up in my home so that I can watch your pet/s and make sure they are comfortable and happy until I return!

***PLEASE NOTE: BOARDING DOGS MUST BRING A CRATE OR A $10/DAY FEE WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR VISIT COST*** As of right now, we are in the remodeling stage of our backyard and no longer have a fully fenced yard, but still have plenty of room for your pup to run around! I also provide long lines for potty breaks and outdoor playtime to ensure a safe outlet. • Boarding dogs are required to bring a crate or they may use one of mine for an additional fee per day. This ensures that they will be safe and contained within the home if we, for any reason, must leave the house for a short period of time.❤️ I pride myself in being able to have one on one time with your pup throughout the day so they feel just as much at home as they do with you! • Pets that stay in my home must be up to date on ALL vaccines (Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella), CURRENT on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and proof of these will be required upon boarding. • Reactive dogs staying in my home will be required to be separate from my pets with the use of pet gates and crates on a rotated schedule with my pets. I will make time for your pup just as much as I will mine so they do not feel left out. ❤️ • Aggressive dogs will not be accepted due to myself having pets.

Information MacKenzie T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any of the following: • Commands they know • Favorite treats • Medications • Potty break schedule • Allergies • Likes/dislikes • Play style with other dogs • Special needs • Injections that must be given • or anything else that your pet needs!

A typical day

Safety is my main concern when it comes to having your pet in my home. Here’s what an ideal day looks like for us: • Playtime in a partially-fenced yard • Lots of mental enrichment opportunities such as sniffing, lick mats (provided), puzzle games, and more! ** If it is too hot for your pet outside, outdoor playtime may be decreased and we will be in the house using other forms of mental enrichment • Lots of one on one time with me • Treats and snacks provided

Pet care experience

If you’re looking for a pet sitter with years of experience and loves every pet like her own, you found her! I have experience in training dogs young and old, am a veterinary assistant, and have lots of experience with senior dog care and special needs. I am CPR certified and am currently enrolled in dog training courses to become a certified dog trainer.
