Pet care experience

FT Dog Mom to 1, Part Time to many!

FYI, after 8/14 I will be relocated to Loretto. I am a true animal lover, with a special place in my heart for dogs. We have owned a 3-year old Golden Retriever, and have been around dogs all my life. In addition to owning a dog, I have experience in boarding and house-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. This has allowed me to gain exposure to different breeds and temperaments, and learn how to adapt to their individual needs! We just really love dogs and know how important it is to have a good, safe dogsitter or walker!

Makenzie was absolutely wonderful! She did a great job watching my pup. She was responsive and accommodating, and I know she took great care of my pup when he was scared of nearby fireworks. I knew my pup was in great hands while I was away, and I would 100% recommend a stay with Makenzie!

Very professional and responsive. Our dogs got along great and from what I can tell my dog had a blast over there for the weekend.

Loved how easy it was to work with MaKenzie. Eli had a great time. She made me feel (and delivered) that Eli was in a safe and loving home while we were away.

Schedule

I work remotely full-time so I am able to care for my dog and others throughout the day and also allows them to roam freely versus being in a cage or alone all day. This also allows flexibility with potty breaks, walks, and playing!

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is very friendly and well trained, she and clients pets can have full range of the house when we are home. We do crate train our dog when we are gone but being honest we like to bring her with us whenever possible! Our townhome has a nice yard with local parks near by great for walks and playing.
