Pet care experience

Behaviorist and animal lover!

Hello! I am a board certified behavior analyst that moved here from California about 6 months ago. I have dog and hose sat for numerous families in the Bay Area over the past 10-11 years. I adore all animals and believe that they truly make the world a better place! I love variety which is why I like to house/dog sit. I believe with my background in behavior and fun upbeat personality I would be a perfect fit for your fur baby and I will absolutely treat them as my own ❤️

Makenzie was awesome. She kept in touch frequently and updated me all about my boys the whole time I was away. She’s a fantastic person and I’m glad she was able to watch my boys for me while I was away

Makenzie was great. She gave regular updates and photos of our pup and kitty while we were away. When I can back home they were very relaxed and not anxious at all. Thank you for caring for our pup and kitty

Makenzie Welch is a board certified behaviorist working for the Los Altos School District. She has a deep love for children and animals. Makenzie uses behavior modification with her children and own pets. She is a mother to our mini aussie. She is available weekends and evenings. During the day she is changing childrens lives. Makenzie is a very responsible adult who will always put the care of the animal before anything else. She has been dog sitting for family and friends for the last few years and has been in high demand. Animals are drawn to her and feel her sweet spirit immediately. She has a bit of a dog whisperer in her. Cats are also a passion for her. Any household with pets will be in good hands.

Makenzie has spent a lot of time with our dog, Woodson, and he absolutely loves her. She has done over night stays with him, and we trust her to take great care of him. She provides regular updates, takes him on long walks and gives him all the love. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
