About McKenna C.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease when they’re away (been there!), and my goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I’m naturally very dependable, detail-oriented, and used to being trusted with important responsibilities. I bring that same level of care and attention when looking after someone’s pet. I know dogs feel most comfortable when their routine stays the same, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for walks, feeding, and playtime. I keep things calm and positive so the dog feels safe with me. I give dogs time to warm up to me, especially if they’re shy at first, and I use play, treats (if allowed), and walks to help them relax. Since I have a young golden retriever of my own, I understand how important it is to know your dog is being cared for with patience and kindness.

Information McKenna C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know all of your dogs “isms”! All dogs have quirks (Sully has many!). That way I can make your pup totally comfortable and give you both the best experience.

A typical day

With my own golden, I have found that dogs need both mental and physical stimulation. When taking Sully for walks, I love to allow him time to sniff all the things and really enjoy himself - so I would do the same for others! Practicing commands/tricks with treats (if allowed) is another great way to get their mind working. Other than that, the classics (tug of war, fetch, etc) are always fun!

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! My name is McKenna. I have been a registered nurse in the Charlotte area for 5 years. I have had dogs all my life, walked dogs through Wag all during college, and now have a golden retriever of my own. Dogs have definitely always been a huge part of my life! Being a dog mom, I understand how scary it can be to trust someone else with your pup. My own experience with Rover and the amount of love Sully received from his sitter put me at ease. I strive to do the same for other pet parents!! I only work 3 days a week, so drop in visits or walks are the perfect way to spend my days off. :)

McKenna is one of the most reliable and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She’s always had a natural connection with pets and treats every dog like they’re her own. She’s attentive, patient, and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Whether it’s going on long walks, sticking to feeding routines, or just giving extra cuddles, she goes above and beyond. I 100% trust her with my dog, and I know anyone who books with her will feel the same way.
