Highlights
Pet care experience
Your best friends, new best friend!
With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide attentive care to every pet. I’m experienced in working with puppies: helping with basic training, socialization, and crate routines. I’m equally experienced in caring for senior pets, including administering medications and offering gentle, patient companionship. I am a third year student at Texas State University, studying animal science and veterinary medicine. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping a watchful eye, your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority. As well, I have a mini dachshund of my own, Milo, who is very social and loves all friends!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Makenzie took such great care of my fur baby. She sent a lot of photos and updates which was very comforting. I would highly recommend Makenzie if you’re in need of a trustworthy, communicative, and friendly sitter!
Makenzie is super sweet and took great care of our little guy Baz for 5 nights. She kept me updated and communicated frequently too.
Great dog walker!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, as I have a dog of my own. I schedule my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet needs. I’m a full time student but I'm flexible and available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, ensuring your pet’s care is consistent and stress free.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m doing drop-in visits in your home or caring for pets in mine, safety and comfort come first. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, free of hazards, and I follow all client instructions closely. I treat every home and pet with the respect and love they deserve.

- Before watching a pet, it's important to know their basic info (name, age, breed, personality), feeding and bathroom routines, exercise needs, health concerns (like medications or allergies), and any behavioral quirks. I also ask about their favorite activities, commands they know, food and sleeping habits. This helps me stick to their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.
