Hi all! My name is Maycie and I am currently a zoology major at Oregon State University. I've had rescue dogs my entire life and currently have a sweet two-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Shih Tzu mix named Frankie, but have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages including a Great Dane and multiple puppies. I’ve also rescued dogs with special needs, so I am familiar with dogs who need a little extra care and attention. I have an energetic seven-year-old cat named Skipper as well, who I rescued as a kitten. I’ve worked in pet retail giving me quite a bit of knowledge on behavior, safety, and nutrition. Along with this, I have consistently pet sat cats and a wide range of dogs since I was around 8 years old including deaf, anxious, and elderly dogs and puppies. I look forward to working with your animals! I’m currently home in Bend and have a lot of free time on my hands to care for your pets. I volunteer at a wildlife hospital on Sundays as well, so I’m filling my time caring for all sorts of animals! When caring for a client’s pet in their own home, I try my best to keep their routine as close to normal as I can. As a strong believer of stability in a pet’s life, I know a big interruption such as a pet sitter can easily cause some anxiety. Keeping to a pet’s normal schedule can ease that anxiety and help the stay go smoother for everyone. Having quite a bit of animal behavior training and knowledge, I understand each pet is very different and I try to find what works for each specific animal and how to best care for them.
