Many years working with animals!
Pet care experience
I have been working with animals, particularly dogs and cats, for over 6 years. I've worked in a veterinary hospital as a trained technician and kennel attendant as well as at a dog daycare and boarding facility as a manager. I'm reliable and friendly, and have experience with a variety of animals, from cats and dogs to fish and birds and even horses! I currently have 3 cats of my own, all with varying health needs. I am skilled in many aspects of pet care, including feeding and special diets, medication administration, subcutaneous fluid administration and tending to individual needs. I pride myself in the care I am able to give your pets and look forward to creating long lasting relationships with both you and your pets as a trusted pet care giver!
Reviews
Makenzy was fantastic! Sent us photos every day, did exactly what we asked, and we felt our pets were in really really good hands!
Makenzy is definitely an animal whisperer because my usually shy cat came right out to greet her during our "meet and greet". She's very professional and I knew my boys were in great hands with her while we were away. I would absolutely hire Makenzy next time we go away!
As always, Makenzy was great! I can relax when I go away because I know from past experience that she can handle anything that might come up We’re in good hands!
Makenzy’s an outstanding kitty caregiver: Attentive, patient, and clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. Our two cats are not used to meeting new people; they’re shy & don’t make new friends easily. They also have some dietary needs that can make feeding time a little complicated. Plus, this was our first time going out of town following our move to Greenfield last year, which was really stressful for them, and we knew they would be anxious with a new caregiver. Makenzy clearly cared a lot about making them feel at ease. She was excellent at evaluating and responding to what the cats needed based on their behavior, offering thoughtful suggestions or following our guidance depending on the situation. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos & updates at least once a day about how our cats were doing, what they ate, etc. She kept their needs met and even got them comfortable enough to enjoy hanging out in their favorite windows. We can’t say enough good things about Makenzy. She even left our plants in better shape! We’re so happy to have found her & we look forward to having her watch our cats again, knowing that they’ll be in good hands while we’re away.

I will care for your pets exactly as you request. I want them to feel as comfortable and as happy as possible while you are away.
Information Makenzy R. would like to know about your pet
I don't judge against any breed of dog. However I would like to know everything I can about your pup (or cat!) before sitting for them! Any allergies, favorite toys, fears, medications and/or feeding regimens as well as activity preferences are all helpful for me to get to know your dog or cat as well as I can so they're happy while you're away.
A typical day
I am happy to take your pet out and engage in their favorite game or walk. If your pet is a senior or has difficulty being active, I am more than happy to assist them outside and spend time doing whatever they are happy and capable of doing.
