Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other dog walkers is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring the best treatment for your fur babies! My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various time slots, making it convenient for pet owners. Additionally, my reliability and attention to detail guarantee that both the pets and their homes are well taken care of, giving the owners peace of mind.

Reviews
Makenzie is great with my pup Riley. She's very communicative, sends pictures and updates, and is very reliable! I will for sure be asking for her help again in the mear future (:
Mackenzie has been amazing with my dog. She’s on time and trustworthy. My dog can be difficult since he’s full of energy and can be a little crazy sometimes but Mackenzie is very good with him. I would recommend Mackenzie to anyone that’s looking for a sitter or a walker. You can definitely tell she loves animals.
I am so happy I had Makenzie watching my kitten while I traveled for the holidays. She was on time, communicated perfectly (photos, videos, and real-time updates), and did everything I requested and more (feed, play time, clean, took out trash)! It brought me a lot of peace knowing my cat was being cared for so well all week and I am happy to have someone I can trust to visit my home. Looking forward to booking Makenzie for trips in the future! Makenzie—thank you so so much!!!!!
I am writing on behalf of Makenzie, my neighbor and current dog sitter. I cannot speak highly enough about her as a person and animal care giver. I have known her since she was about 6 years old and have witnessed her steadfast love and devotion for animals. Her family have always been pet owners, including both dogs and cats. She has been a great support to me and my Mastiffs throughout the years. I used to have 2 Mastiffs she would help me with, and currently have my Mr. Henry, a 140lb Cane Corso she takes care of 5x week who loves her to death! This includes walking him, feeding him, and spending time with him to keep him company during my work day. She has known first hand what it takes to care for animals as a child and her love and sensitivity she has for them has only grown stronger. I put 100% faith and trust in her to care for my current dog and any I have in the future. She is been nothing short of attentive, patient, and compassionate with my dog and her own pets. I would recommend her without hesitation to care for your animal and give him/her the love and care you would give them yourself.
About Makenzie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Caring for a client's home and pet involves many important steps to ensure both the pet's well-being and the home's security. First, I will always make sure to securely lock all doors when leaving and returning to the house. Keeping pets on a leash at all times to ensure their safety. Making sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, such as feeding schedules, medication, or any particular routes for the walk is something I promise to do and always pay attention to. Cleaning up after the pet during the walk to maintain cleanliness and respect for the community. Lastly, providing the pet with fresh water upon returning home and spending some time with the pets to ensuring they are comfortable and settled before leaving.
