Safety, trust & environment

I have friendly cats and an Aussie, who are all fixed. All animals are current on all vaccinations, and I have experience with pet allergies and special diet requirements. All animals are welcome on furniture and if your furry friend needs extra walk time, I will happily oblige as I am very close to a park. I also have insomnia so late night or early walks are no bother to me.

Information McKena F. would like to know about your pet

I ask that you let me know ahead of time what special needs your pet has, such as medication or activity limitations, so I can plan accordingly. I would also like a heads up if your dog is reactive towards other dogs especially on walks, I have absolutely no issue accommodating this, but I want to do everything in my power to keep your furry friend safe and if that means special walk adjustments that is totally fine.

A typical day

For dogs, I would take them to the park that I am very close by. I have a portable water bottle, waste bags, toys, balls, and treats if needed. Any activities your dog likes, I am happy to participate in. If they need extra sniff time, I can accommodate that as well.

Pet care experience

I have worked with all kinds of dogs since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs as large as mastiffs and as small as chihuahuas. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs too. I also have experience with administering medication to cats and dogs. I have cats currently and care for their wildly different personalities. I also have a service dog who is an Aussie who loves everyone and everything. I have had labs, golden retrievers, dachshunds, etc. I am very good with all types of pets and if your dog needs some extra care like medication or other needs, I have handled that as well.

McKena was reliable and easy to work with. She handled my cat’s meds no problem. I’d be happy to work with her again!

McKenna was wonderful—she was communicative with me while I was gone and sent plenty of pics and videos. My dog adored her and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
