I currently work from home and spend most of my time at home with my own pets, so I’m able to provide frequent bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routine is for animals and try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

Information McKenzie C. would like to know about your pet

Please share any medical conditions, medications, dietary restrictions, or behavioral quirks before our first visit. The more I know going in the better I can care for your pet. I am very comfortable with special needs animals and pets who require daily medications so do not hesitate to reach out even if your pet has complex needs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A typical day

Every pet is different so I follow your lead on what a good day looks like for them. Generally we will enjoy walks at their pace, playtime, quiet cuddle time, and plenty of one on one attention. I keep things calm, engaging, and as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel relaxed and loved the whole time you are gone.

ER Nurse • Calm & Attentive Care

Pet care experience

As a former ER nurse and lifelong animal lover I bring a level of attentiveness and calm to pet care that most sitters simply cannot offer. I know how to spot subtle changes in behavior or health, stay composed in unexpected situations, and follow care instructions with precision. I have two cats of my own including a special needs rescue and a dog, and have been caring for animals my whole life. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and safety are always my top priority and I treat every animal like family. I work from home and am available throughout the day for walks, feedings, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet has special needs, takes daily medications, or just needs a calm and caring presence while you are away I have got them covered. I also offer boarding and doggy daycare at my home in Marina del Rey for dogs. It is a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. Please note I am only able to board dogs at this time as I have cats at home. I am happy to house sit and can be present for extended hours or morning and evening visits. Due to having a special needs cat at home who relies on me I am unable to sleep overnight at a client’s home in most cases but I am always happy to discuss what works best for your situation. I am also currently completing my pet CPR certification so you can feel confident your pet is in the most capable hands possible.

McKenzie was great! Millie has a wonderful time playing with her dog Penny! McKenzie was super fast at responding and gave me updates throughout the day. Would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable doggy daycare!
