I’m a teacher who LOVES animals! 🩵

I have a huge heart for animals!! I grew up with show horses and now we do show cattle. I’ve taken care of so many different breeds of dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs since I was little! I have had all sorts of sizes of dogs, Dalmatian, dachshund, golden retrievers, labs, and corgis, and so many more! I love all dogs big or small!! I treat any dog as they are my own! I have experience caring for, feeding, potty training, walking, bathing, and giving medicine to animals! I have one fur baby, her name is Rebel and she is a corgi who loves meeting new friends!! For boarding: I have many toys, balls, Konas, lick pads, and much much more! You dogs will love staying here and I will treat them as my own! 🩵 please provide updated shot records in order to book with me!

Makenzie was an absolute life savor for me & my two cats! She was great with communicating and went above and beyond for us. Could not say enough great things about her.

Seriously the best sitter, she went out of her way to drive miles to watch my dog at very short notice and she kept me very updated to where I wasn’t anxious at all about leaving my baby with someone new!!

I can’t give Mackenzie enough stars! It’s so nice to not have to worry about our fur babies when we go out of town! She gives regular updates and has great communication!

Romy loves visiting MaKenzie. She is so sweet and loving towards him. He runs to meet her whenever he gets to visit, which is very unusual for him. I would highly recommend her to take care of any pet, she has a wonderful disposition and attitude.
