Pet care experience

Comfortable care for your pets

Hi there - I’m recently moved to the Hershey area, but definitely have lots of experience with animals. I have grown up around dogs and cats, and have now volunteered with, fostered, and owned several of my own. I am looking to start dog walking and house sitting your furry friends in the Hershey/Harrisburg area. I am comfortable working with senior or reactive dogs, as well as other animals, and can help continue whatever training/routine/management you have started. I do require a meet and greet prior to sitting for your dog to make sure they are comfortable with me and I am comfortable with their routine. My schedule is flexible, so please let me know what your specific needs are. Feel free to reach out if you have specific dates in mind, or are just trying to establish with someone for future needs!

Safety, trust & environment

Prior to watching your dog, I will ask you to walk me through their routine. Do they stay in a crate? How much food do they eat and how often? How often do they need to use the bathroom? Do they take any medicine or have any specific triggers I should avoid? I will ask you to outline their typical routine for me and I will adhere to that as best as possible!

Makenzie is the best! I can't say enough good things about her. She is accommodating, passionate, and amazing watching our little girl. She checks in daily, sends pics, and even shoveled my driveway!

Makenzie took very good care of our pups while we were away. Beau is reactive and can take a while to warm up but Makenzie was great with him. He keeps going to her room to see if she is there! She also went the extra mile with Bailey and fed her rice when she got a nervous stomach. Would definitely book Makenzie again to take care of our pups!

Schedule

I am currently a full time student with a flexible schedule that allows me to walk or stop in for visits during the workday. Prior to booking, we can discuss a specific time line and can go over what that looks like.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Makenzie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral concerns. Let me know their overall temperament, anything that stresses them out, or anything that they absolutely love. Also, let me know of any rules in place while on walks or in your household (i.e. no furniture, type of equipment used on walks, etc.)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
