Top Notch Pet Care

Pet care experience

*** I ALWAYS BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS- IF YOUR KIDDO NEEDS SOLO CARE I AM NOT THE RIGHT SITTER FOR YOUR BABY. *** My name is Mackenzie, I am a professionally certified dog trainer and a pet sitter for over 10 years. I have a large apartment with a huge backyard for doggy fun complete with a doggy pool in the summer, light up toys at night and outdoor furniture for naps in the sun. I provide an enriched environment with puzzles, toys, scent games, chewing activities and relaxation in addition to their socializing with each other. I am very protective of the animals in my care, their comfort and safety comes first so you can leave with peace of mind that they will be safe and comfortable while you are gone. *If you have a dog over 100lbs reach out to me because I take them on a case by case basis.

Mackenzie was a fabulous sitter for our cats over the holidays. Super responsive, Mackenzie also took the time to share photos for each drop-in visit and we came home to 3 very content cats. We would definitely use Mackenzie again and would recommend to friends. Thank you!!

Mackenzie is the best! I trust her with my cat every time I go out of town. She is very reliable and responsive! Thank you once again for watching Luna.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a structured daycare (boarding) schedule with set potty breaks, feeding times, outdoor play, indoor play, paired play/scent games, anti-anxiety activities before and during relaxation time (nap time) and I also put on music and movies for them on rainy days. Calming activities are as important as play and exercise. Mental stimulation receives equal focus. No worries every movie is rated G!

Information Mackenzie W. would like to know about your pet

I really want to know what your dog needs in terms of specialized care but also who they are. All fur babies have their own flair and personality, tell me about them so I can make their stay fun and relaxing while you are away. Diet? Feeding schedule? Allergies? Medication? Fears? Anxiety? Does your dog bark a lot? Are they comfortable in a crate? House trained? Do they have a favorite game? What is their favorite naughty behavior at home? (Trash Can Snacks? Mark the rug? Shred the shoe?) How are they on a leash? Around other animals? What motivates them-food/toys/affection? Do they have no touch zones on their bodies?

A typical day

We will go on walks in the park, play in the backyard, go to the dog run/play dates (if that’s ok with the parents) and hangout at the house watching movies and sports on the living room sofa like a member of the family. In the summer I put a pool in the yard to combat hot days and in the winter we can go for play in the snow at one of the nearby parks together or with some toys at the house. I can also provide Instagram worthy photos of your pets on their “vacation” while you are out! *If you have a dog over 100lbs please reach out to me as I take them on a case by case basis.

This is my full time job in addition to professional dog training. If you need training for your dog please contact me directly for rates. Please note that I have multiple animals in my home for various service so if your baby needs to be solo then this is probably not the environment for them and I am happy to offer referrals for private sitters that only accept one client at a time.
