Safety, trust & environment

While I can’t host pets in my apartment, I provide calm, attentive care in your home to keep your dog in a familiar environment. I prioritize your pup’s comfort and routine, keeping their feeding, exercise, and playtime consistent. I keep a clean and safe space, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you're away. I also love photographing the dogs I walk so I’ll make sure you get sweet snapshots of your pup’s day.

Information McKenna D. would like to know about your pet

Any specific behaviors that I should know about, energy levels, how your dog reacts to other dogs in the street, and any silly quirks your dog has!

A typical day

I love to go on long walks catering towards your dog’s needs, whether that’s a jog or stopping every few feet for a stiff. I love to practice tricks and play your dog’s favorite games. Once the fun is over, I love to give a good back scratch.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs my whole life, from walking neighbor’s pups as a kid to raising and training my own Golden Retriever, Ainsley, from 8 weeks old (currently at home in Syracuse, NY). I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and ages, including high-energy puppies and senior dogs with mobility needs. I’m known for treating every dog like my own, whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or just keeping them company. I also know how to help a choking dog and am confident handling multiple dogs at once.

McKenna was great with my 3 dogs (my lab and 2 pitbulls). She was very sweet when I first met her and followed all of the instructions I left for her. My dogs are usually pretty rambunctious and McKenna said she’s used to that and once they got to know her they were calm and she handled them with great care. I would definitely recommend McKenna for dogs of all kinds.

It is clear from watching McKenna interact with animals that she cares deeply for their well-being. She ensures that they are fed, watered, and loved. I highly recommend McKenna for the care of your pet.
