Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Mama

I currently reside in Richmond and have a pretty open and flexible schedule and availability. I am an avid animal lover and a pet mama of 7 (5 cats and 2 dogs). My babies are my whole world. I grew up on a farm and my parents used to own a pet store so am I familiar with many types of animals. I was a dog walker and sitter all of high school and college. I have had a myriad of pets growing up. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats, as well as many breeds. I also have experience with managing and administering different types of medication. I love animals and would love to care for your pets, as I know you want the best care for these members of your family. I offer dog walking, drop ins, and staying with your pet while house sitting as well. Please contact me with any questions you may have!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of experience with house sitting and have even done long term house sitting for families (about 1 month). I am very trustworthy and will put your pet's safety first while trying to keep them on their daily routine and keep a consistent environment for them.

House Sitting • Jul 22, 2026

I can’t say enough great things about our McKenzie! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were loved and cared for gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs and cats were so well taken care of, and it was obvious they were treated like family. We received updates, photos, and could tell they were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s such a relief to come home to pets that are relaxed and a house that feels like everything was handled with care. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend her! We will absolutely be using her again and again!

This was my second time with McKenzie helping take care of my girl Luna and she did a great job! I appreciate the pics from her visits and that she has great communication.

McKenzie is a wonderful dog/house sitter! She watched my little guy at my home and took the time not only to send many pictures, but to play and snuggle with him. Very friendly and obviously a dog lover, McKenzie was responsive and responsible. She showed up on time, responded to messages immediately, and left my place immaculate. She even taught my dog to catch pop flies! I will undoubtedly ask McKenzie to watch my dog again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and energetic dogsitter.
