Highlights
Pet care experience
Behavior-Savvy Dog Care
I approach pet care with a strong understanding of animal communication and what they need to feel comfortable and secure. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including livestock guardian breeds and terriers, and I am confident adjusting my care to match each dog’s personality and energy level.
Cat care experience
McKenzie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can recognize any changes early and adjust my care, and I always prioritize safety through secure handling and a clean, calm environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you are away.

McKenzie is amazing! Prompt, thorough, and so caring with all our animals. She even got our fearful dog to warm up to her within the first visit. I trust her completely with the care of my pets and will definitely book her again! 🫶

Schedule
Summer Availability Update ☀️ Hi! With summer here, my schedule has shifted a bit due to work. I currently work most days from approximately 11 AM–5 PM, so I’m generally available for drop-in visits and walks before 10:30 AM and after 5:30 PM. My exact work hours can occasionally vary slightly depending on event bookings at my job. I will also have extended availability from July 3rd through the morning of July 6th for holiday bookings, especially for house sitting and drop-in visits. For house sitting, I’m primarily available on weekends. I may also be available during weekdays for overnight-only care, depending on the location and your pet’s needs. Please note that availability also depends on distance, as I currently only accept bookings within walking distance (about 2 miles from my home). Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to discuss scheduling and see if I’m a good fit for your pets!

- I love getting to know each pet so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. It is really helpful to know their personality, energy level, what they enjoy, and their usual routine. I also like to be aware of any health issues, allergies, or medications. If there is anything that makes your pet nervous, any quirks, or behaviors like reactivity I should know about, that is always appreciated too. The more you can share, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and right at home while you are away.
