Loving, trustworthy family ❤️
Pet care experience
We are an animal loving family who knows just how hard it is to find someone you trust to love and care for your pets when you are away! I can promise you that we are those people and we look forward to proving that to you! Dogs and cats have been in my life for over 25 years and I have cared for others pets for over 10 years. We currently have two golden retrievers of our own who we would do anything for- our dogs are a part of our family and when your pet is in our care they will be a part of our family as well!
Reviews
This was our first stay with Mackenzie and her family. I felt incredibly comfortable, the videos and pictures are received showed Schmidt running and playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend and will definitely use again.
I don't know what we would do if we didn't have McKenzie to watch after our sweet girl Lola! We travel frequently and I never have to worry about the care she receives while she is there as she gets treated like a member of their family. I love the updates and pictures and she always comes home exhausted! Best pet nanny ever!
McKenzie is an amazing pet sitter! She gave us regular updates and pictures of our pup, and it was clear she was treated just like a member of the family. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, personal and attentive pet caregiver!
McKenzie was a great dog sitter!! Our Sunny (cavalier King Charles) loved staying with her. She sent lots of updates and pictures, played so much fetch with Sunny, took her for walks, and gave tons of couch cuddles. She was professional, easy to talk to, and priced fair. She and her family really love animals, and it shows. 10/10 dog treats. Would recommend again and again.

Safety, trust & environment
Unlike large boarding facilities or other private sitters- we only take a few clients at a time. If your dog is staying in our home it is our top priority that they feel loved, safe and at home! They are welcome to lounge on our couch and even sleep in our beds- I'll even share my pillow! When we are away, we crate all dogs for their own safety and have a camera monitoring them at all times. We have a very large, fenced yard that all of the dogs LOVE- it's basically a park! We love to spoil our guests with lots of cuddles, love and our clients love all of the pictures and updates we send! Boarding: Our family has three young children under the age of 10. For this reason it is required that your dog be familiar, comfortable and friendly with children. We also board dogs from different families, so it is required that all dogs be up to date with vaccines, treated for fleas and ticks and socialized positively with other dogs. All dogs are required to come with their own crate/kennel, food for their stay, a food bowl and a leash. Every service; dog walking, drop ins and boarding will include a complimentary meet and greet! This way your pet and your family will have the opportunity to get to know us and feel confident in the care that your pet will receive.

Information McKenzie G. would like to know about your pet
Vaccination status, if they’re crate trained, if they experience separation anxiety, their experience with children and what we can do to help them feel at ease! We also like to know if their likes and dislikes!
A typical day
I am a stay at home mom and my husband, Mike, works from home! For the majority of your pets stay one of us will be home with them. When away we crate all dogs for their own safety and monitor them through our home cameras at all times. When we are home we rarely use the crates as we prefer to allow dogs roam freely and make themselves at home- lounge on the couch, sleep in our beds, whatever! A typical day for your pet will include lots of outside play, walks, and of course lots of love and cuddles! We average about 2 walks a day pending weather and dogs willingness. You will also receive a lot of daily pictures and updates which all of our clients really enjoy.
