Your Dog's (other) Best Friend
Pet care experience
Hey, I’m McKenzie! I recently graduated from USC with a masters degree and I’m a full time dog lover. I grew up caring for dogs—first the family dogs, my own, then professionally—so I’ve seen it all. I’ve spent ample amount of time training and teaching basic commands. I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood to adulthood. Additionally, I have experience caring for sick dogs, old dogs, and dogs healing from injury. My dog caring ethos is pretty simple — walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks; let’s keep everyone happy. I’m here to accommodate your dogs individualized needs! **Sliding scale fee if deemed appropriate, I know Covid has impacted us all.
Reviews
I was so lucky to find McKenzie on Rover. She is always dependable and is so sweet to my Chester. She puts up with me checking in on him when I'm gone. I would highly recommend this experienced and charismatic sitter. Thank you McKenzie!
I have had McKenzie watch my dogs and cat on multiple occasions. I have two 55 LB mixed breed dogs and a calico cat. She is responsible and attentive. I can leave home in peace knowing I've left my loved ones in good hands. The only room for improvement I can think of is that she sometimes spoils them a bit too much with in-between-meal treats. Of course, my pets love that about her.
McKenzie is the. most. dependable. sitter. She is flexible and available. I never have to be nervous or feel rushed to get home when McKenzie is there because I know my babies are safe and loved. Honestly, my dogs love her more than me.
McKenzie did a great job watching Loui. Loud took an instant liking to her and I felt comfortable leaving them for the weekend. Come back to perfect house and happy puppy.

Each dog is different, so I’m here to learn about your dog’s individualized needs. At baseline: I make sure the water and food are restocked and fresh. Lots of bathroom breaks and walks. I think the most important thing is making sure the dog doesn’t get bored; there’s an unending amount of attention and love!

Information McKenzie M. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know if they are used to any special routine! Also, any idiosyncrasies. Like, I once had a cat who loved back scratches but hated if his ears were touched. That kind of thing. :)
A typical day
Walking, playtime, hiking if location allows. I used to jog with my dog so if you have a particularly active dog, that could be worked out.
