Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs of all sizes my whole life. I am currently away from my dog at home, I am at college. I have had two dogs. Cooper, my current dog, uses a doorbell and “talks” with buttons. He is also very food motivated, so I have a lot of experience keeping things put away out of reach, in cabinets or pushed away! While I do love that he is very laid back, I also enjoy working with pups who love to play and walk! I have worked to aid in training of two service dogs. I currently own two gerbils, but grew up with a turtle and various rodents, including raising guinea pigs. At my job, I currently care for a dog missing one eye, as well as her owner. I take her out and play with her throughout my shift with her owner. I love to meet new dogs and be outside.
Reviews
Makenzie is always very reliable and great with our 2 dogs. Great with communication as well! Always a joy to work with!
Makenzie was great! Extremely helpful, kind, and easy to work with. I’d highly recommend her!
Mackenzie was great with our pups! Very responsive to communications. Was a huge help to us on a short notice!
Makenzie was awesome! Super communicative and worked so well with Luna. Luna can be very high energy but Makenzie handled her perfectly.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
During home visits, all rules will be followed to the fullest extent: crate times, walking, and potty breaks. I try to keep the animals under my watch away from other unknown animals, to avoid any possible incidents on either side. I keep careful watch of all animals in my care to ensure a safe environment as well as they are not getting into danger or escaping.
Information makenzie b. would like to know about your pet
If any special information or requests are needed before I meet your pet, let me know. Including: any necessary medications, typical exercise needed, allergies, etc. Please plan to let me know about anything that your pet may like to get into, so I can make sure things are put away and doors are closed. I would love to spoil your pets, so please let me know treat, chew, or lick mat restrictions!
A typical day
I love to go on long, interesting walks. Exploring new places and smells on walks and play time. If desired, I love to play with pets in a safe space. Whether chasing around, playing tug, or fetch, I love to see a dog extra playful and happy. I love to take pictures of your pets and what they are up to when we are together!

Availability
I am currently off for the summer from college, but am very close for when I head back. I work part-time, the occasional Wednesday, 4pm-12am and most Saturday’s, 8-4pm. Also I sometimes work a four hour shift, but have a relatively adaptable schedule with the shorter shifts, and can put them off if needed! Other than that, if you send me a request, I typically can provide for the requested time, or very close to. If house sitting, I am able to provide care before and after work, if your animal allows for that time gap!
