Many years of experience!
Pet care experience
For the past five years, my family and I have adopted and fostered for both the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue and for the Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue. We have also boarded dogs as a branch off of Ridgeside K9 in Loudoun County. I have experience in small dogs to large dogs, having owned a Toy Yorkie and even fostered a German Shepherd/wolf mix. Through this all, I have learned about different training, playing, and discipline methods. Whatever you’re dog needs, I can try to my very best ability to provide to make my services the absolute best. I also have a very flexible job! I have a fenced in backyard and three dogs of my own. If introductions go well, they can be around my dogs, ALWAYS supervised. I have daily experience with dog-aggressive and dog-reactive dogs around other dogs, so it is 100% possible for me to accommodate aggressive or reactive dogs. No human-aggressive dogs.
Reviews
Thank you for staying with Lyra again and keeping her company. Great job!
Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with our four German Shepherds. It was our first night away from them and she made the entire experience stress-free and took great care of them. Would recommend her to anyone!
We are so happy that we found MacKenzie! She did an excellent job. We felt very secure leaving our home and our pets in her capable hands! We highly recommend her services!
Mackenzie house/dog sat for my 2 dogs while I was on vacation. She was responsive and sent pictures of how the dogs were doing. She was flexible with timing with my dogs are their needs and left my house in good order.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard with two other dogs that love other dogs! They will be one with my family. If they are dog friendly, they will be out with my dogs, always supervised, and will be crated only in the case of no one being home or during the night, if needed. Lots of playtime in the backyard and with other dogs!
Home
Information Mackenzie V. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog has dietary restrictions, or any food habits (grazer or picky eater), if your dog is aggressive or reactive towards other dogs, how many times they eat a day, any medical conditions/medicine.
A typical day
I have a big neighborhood for walks (however many you wish per day)! I have plenty of dog toys for them to chose from and play with during their stay!

Availability
I currently work a very flexible job, but an inflexible school schedule. I have gotten pretty good at working around my school schedule. In the early morning they will get food and playtime, same around lunch time, and then in the afternoon. Plus extra playtime in between with other dogs, if allowed!
