Hello fellow animal lovers & owners

Pet care experience

In my past, I have taken care of an IMMENSE amount of dogs & cats due to my mother working with rescues & working with our local animal shelter back in Roswell, NM. We brought in new dogs into our home weekly, potty training, basic training & administering medicines to all the helpless pups we had so we could help find them their furrever home one day. I've worked with so many different personalities, ages, and breeds that I consider myself a devoted & loving care-taker of anyone's animals. When I left for college in 2017, I made it a plan to do some community service work at the local Flagstaff, AZ animal shelter, where I cleaned kennels, fed pups, took them on walks, & of course gave them LOTS of love. With all of my experience throughout the years, I would be happy to give your animals some love when you're out of town, at work, etc.!

Makenzie is super accommodating, proactive with communication and photos, and was even helpful in detecting a UTI in my pup after only knowing her a couple days. She rocks and I will certainly be asking for her daycare services again.

Makenzie is great! She was quick to respond and was flexible with my ever changing plans. My pups loved having her around and I felt so relieved to be able to enjoy a night away knowing that they were in good hands.

Mackenzie was very accommodating - from initial contact to final pick up. Her warm personality and communication during my dog's stay were very comforting and reassuring. Thank you Mackenzie!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pretty large home, with a very large backyard. The fence is very tall, so I would hope your pups wouldn't be able to make the jump over, ha! I have LOTS of nearby parks and a lovely neighborhood for walks. I also recently decided to adopt my own pup, named Finn who is now 5 months. He is a chow-terrier mix. He is potty trained, and knows his basic commands now & loves to meet new friends. My roommate also has a lab mix named Latte, who LOVES LOVE & constantly wants attention & is VERY well trained. As my roommate, she said she'd be happy to have dogs here at our house, because my pup needs all the exposure he can get at this age. If you are not comfortable with our dogs being around yours, I'd be happy to put them in they own area in our house, OR I can watch them at your home. Please write me if you have any other questions or special inquires!

Information Makenzie S. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences! Love them all! But I would like to know how they are with other dogs, cats, people, etc. How old they are would be nice. How often you prefer to take them out to potty. If they enjoy walks or trips to the dog park. BIG note: Do they get car sick? I'll let you know ahead of time if I have any other questions!

A typical day

I have many nearby parks where I'd be happy to take your pup out to train, sniff around and go on a nice walk. I buy my dog a toy almost EVERY TIME I go into pet smart, I swear... So I'd be happy to play ball, tug-o-war, or any of your pups interests. I can also give baths, as I am getting better with the "scared-y cats." Haha!
