I have been professionally pet sitting on Rover for almost 3 years and it has brought me immense joy + healing. It started out as a side hustle during a very vulnerable health challenge and since has actually reversed my symptoms. This is currently (and gratefully) my full-time gig now so I have a super flexible schedule. If it is your first time booking through Rover, you can use promo code MAKENM79315 to receive $20 off your first service :-)

Safety, trust & environment

I am someone who values communication more than the average person so you will be able to have peace of mind while you're away. I know how it is finding someone you can trust to take care of your munchkins. I always follow whatever special requests that clients leave for me and am happy to accommodate your additional needs from watering your plants, checking the mail, light housekeeping, and so forth. IMPORTANT for drop-ins: For any clients over 10 miles from my home - there is a $5 charge per visit added to the standard rate (excluding holidays). I will remind you of this charge before we book so you are aware. I am no longer able to take any new clients over 15 miles from my home.

Information Makenzy M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your feeding routine, any allergies, dietary restrictions, medications, and behaviors that I should be aware of. What sort of snacks or toys do they like to play with so I can best stimulate them? Do they have separation anxiety? What are some of the commands you use? Please be sure to have the care information section filled out in advance. It's super important to include vet info as well as an emergency contact if you plan to be away from your phone. It's always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I appreciate you considering me for your pet care needs!

A typical day

I will always treat your fur babe just as I would my own with lots of attention, treats, pets (if that's their thing), stimulation with toys, and love! I always provide detailed updates and lots of pictures (as long as they aren't too shy) :P

Genuine & Intuitive Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have been a cat and reptile mama for 6 years now. I also always had pups growing up as a kid and am eager to have one of my own hopefully in the near future. I hold a really special place in my heart for animals and see them all as their own unique beings with different needs to be met. I have experience caring for a wide range of creatures to include iguanas, snakes, chickens, rabbits, goats, hedgehogs, birds, and many others. Additionally I am First Aid/CPR certified through ProPet Hero!

Makenzy is just wonderful with my little Kitti. Her photos are delightful and make me laugh out loud. She tells me how he acts, feels and the funny things he does. It makes such a difference to know how he’s doing.

Makenzy is so wonderful with my little cat. She is very conscientious and great with my pet. She’s my kitty’s good friend as I can see in the lovely photos of him, happy and playful. She tells me how he’s doing and I really appreciate her lively descriptions. She is a delight to work with.
