Highlights
Pet care experience
Can I be friends with your dog?
I spent 10 years of my life BEGGING my parents to get me a dog before they finally relented when I was 12 and got me a miniature dachshund, Bailey. Because I got Bailey as a puppy, I’ve experienced every stage in a dogs life from puppy to senior so I’m comfortable taking care of dogs at any life stage. Bailey was an IBS girlie who ultimately passed away after a yearlong battle with cancer, so I’m also very comfortable with dogs who have illnesses. Currently, I volunteer with Austin Pets Alive in the parvovirus clinic taking care of sick puppies and dog walking in their main facility. I believe all dogs regardless of age, size, breed, or medical condition deserve love and I’m here to give it to them.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe the key to providing good care for pets is communication and respecting the desires of the pet owner. I commit to always following the “rules” of whatever pet I am caring for, whether it’s keeping them inside during the hottest part of the day, avoiding contact with other dogs, or any other specific needs of the pet or desires of the owner. It’s your fur baby after all, you know what they need more than I do! I will always communicate any issues with the owner as soon as they arise and I’ll be available for a check in at any time during my visit if you would like to see how your pet is doing.
Ratings and reviews
Mackenzie took wonderful care of our dog and home. She was responsive, punctual, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away.
My pup Walter loves Mackenzie! So thankful for her visits/walks that get my 8-mo-old mini dauchsund through my work day. He is happy and well cared for & I appreciate that Mackenzie is reliable and great with my pup!
Makenzie was wonderful! Our dog took right to her and loved her playful relaxed energy. Very timely and responsive.
Makenzie did a great job walking my dog for the first time! Would highly recommend her!
Makenzie was wonderful! Took such loving care of my sweet Nora girl!
Makenzie was so great with Tortilla, and I’m so appreciative of her for being so flexible and communicative when our travel plans took some unexpected twists! There’s nobody I’d trust more with my baby :)

Schedule
I am currently focusing on several different volunteering jobs as opposed to a paid position, which means I have lots of time to watch over your pets! I’m free Monday-Friday from 12-8 and after 10 am on most weekends.
