Pet care experience
Your Dog’s New Bestie 🐾
I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have grown up with dogs my whole life, including my family’s chocolate Labrador who is now 13. I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ dogs of different sizes and personalities, from Labs to smaller breeds like Yorkies and mini poodles. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with puppies for walks/playtime (as long as they’re potty trained for overnight stays), anxious dogs who may need extra patience, and keeping owners updated with photos and communication along the way.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a fenced yard, which gives dogs a safe outdoor space for supervised play and potty breaks. Because I share the home with roommates, I do prefer pets stay off furniture, but they’ll still get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m not a good fit for aggressive dogs, but I’m happy caring for friendly dogs who may need patience, structure, and lots of love. I’m naturally very responsible, communicative, and respectful in other people’s homes, and I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet.
Ratings and reviews
McKenna was absolutely amazing with Remi! We were gone for a whole weekend and she made sure our little weenie was well taken care of. She communicated the whole time and made sure to send lots of pictures. Remi can be a little much at times with the barking and anxiety but McKenna handled everything so well. 100/10 we will definitely be asking her to watch weenie again!
McKenna is amazing! She responds quickly, arrives promptly, my dog loves her, i hope McKenna is available every time i go out if town!!!
We appreciated McKenna’s help and her sending cute pics of our dogs!
Mckenna was a fabulous dog walker. She was on time, helped me find my dogs leash, and had the BEST walk with her. My dog loved her so much which is unusual as my dog has a hard time getting used to strangers. Super sweet girl! I look forward to scheduling her again.
Wow, this girl really knows how to walk dogs. Somehow she’s got multiple dogs listening, staying in line, and actually enjoying themselves. That’s honestly more impressive than most management skills I’ve seen. The confidence, the patience, and the fact that every dog seems obsessed with her is pretty impressive.
McKenna has demonstrated exceptional responsibility, compassion, and dedication when it comes to caring for animals. Over the past 15 years, she has helped care for our Labrador Retriever, who is now a senior dog requiring extra patience, attention, and consistent care. Throughout our dog’s life, she has been deeply involved in daily responsibilities including feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, grooming, and providing companionship. What stands out most is McKenna’s genuine love for animals and her calm, dependable nature. She is attentive to details, follows instructions carefully, and understands the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and emotional well-being while their owners are away. She is also trustworthy, punctual, and communicates responsibly. I have complete confidence in her ability to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for any dog entrusted to her. I would highly recommend her to any family or individual seeking a responsible and caring dog sitter.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule this summer and am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight care. I do have a summer class three days a week during June, but outside of that I have plenty of availability and can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to your home on time is never a problem.
