I am currently enrolled at Tulane, but I have an open summer to spend lots of time with your furry friend! When school starts, I will be a bit busier but I will have lots of time in the mornings, evenings and weekends to hang out with pets.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them happy, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar space. For cats, I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning, with plenty of patience for shy or special-needs cats like my own three-legged kitty, Sully. I love adapting to each cat’s personality—whether they want constant play, cozy snuggles, or just quiet company. For dogs, I make sure to keep up with their normal schedule for walks, meals, play, and potty breaks. I’m experienced with a wide range of dogs—from senior pups who need extra gentle care to high-energy dogs who love long walks and active play. I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. And of course, I know how important peace of mind is for you! I’ll send lots of photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

Pet care experience

I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! I’ve cared for my sweet senior dog, Pip, who needed extra TLC, an adorably picky Shih Tzu, and Louise, a high-energy Lab who never runs out of zoomies. I’m all about matching their vibe—long walks and playtime for the energetic pups, cozy snuggles for the laid-back ones, and making sure even the most particular pets feel safe and happy. I’ve also lived with cats who want to cuddle 24/7 and others who are nonstop players, so I’m ready for whatever mood they’re in. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home!

Kenzie provided outstanding care for my 14-year-old dog with special needs. She managed his medications reliably and gave him the patience and attention he requires as an older dog. It was clear she understood how to care for senior pets and made his comfort her priority. She also took excellent care of my cats, ensuring all of my pets were well looked after during my time away. I returned home to happy animals and a well-kept house. I highly recommend Kenzie to anyone seeking a responsible, dependable, and skilled pet sitter- especially for pets (and nervous pet owners!) that require extra care.

McKenzie is our dog whisperer. She is so attentive to our dogs, she can sense what they need before they need it. I appreciate how much she cares, and they both love her so much. I have utilized her services for pet sitting and walks, she's a dynamo and very dependable. Be sure to ask about her 3 legged cat Sullivan.

I can't say enough great things about McKenzie! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and is incredibly responsible. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It's such a relief to know I have someone I can fully trust with my pup. Highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
