Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitive, Reliable & Dog Obsessed
Hi, I’m McKenzie! I’ve been a dog lover for over 10 years and currently share my home with my sweet Bernedoodle, Ollie. 🐶💛 Caring for dogs is more than just a job to me—it’s truly a passion. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cuddles, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your furry family member, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities—from high-energy pups to laid-back seniors. You can count on me for regular updates, photos, and plenty of tail wags while your dog is in my care. 🐾 Can’t wait to meet your pup!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
McKenzie was so wonderful with my pup. She sent daily pictures of their trips to the park and walks and was very communicative. Her dog Ollie and mine got along very well!
McKenzie did a great job and I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was very responsive, communicative and friendly and sent me lots of photos! Her pup, Ollie, is also very sweet. I would definitely recommend McKenzie.
I have never met a person that loves dogs and pets more than McKenzie. She treats dogs like they are humans. Dogs love her just as much as she loves them. Her love for dogs is what makes me comfortable leaving my pets her in hands and care.
She treats pets like they were her kids, always attentive and caring. My dog gets zoomies every time she shows up. We need more dog sitters like her!

Schedule
Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine since I already care for my own Bernedoodle, Ollie. We go on morning and evening walks every day, with playtime and potty breaks built in throughout the day. On weekends, I love spending extra time outdoors with him, whether it’s walks, dog park visits, or just hanging out at home. Adding another pup into the mix is an easy fit—I already plan my days around keeping dogs happy, active, and loved. 🐾

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, dogs are always supervised and treated like family—never left unattended in unsafe situations. I keep my space dog-friendly, with plenty of room for play and cozy spots for rest, and I make sure pups are comfortable alongside my friendly Bernedoodle, Ollie. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, crate training, or medication. I make sure doors and gates are secured, walks are on-leash, and that every pup gets the attention and care they need. No matter the setting, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and in good hands. 🐾
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping pups happy, active, and loved. Mornings usually start with a nice walk to get energy out and some fresh air. During the day, I mix in playtime—fetch, tug-of-war, or whatever games your dog enjoys—as well as plenty of cuddles and attention. If your pup prefers a slower pace, I make sure they have cozy spots to relax and feel comfortable. I also love taking dogs on neighborhood walks or to the park (with your approval) so they get stimulation, exercise, and new sights and smells. Evenings are for winding down with another walk, snuggles, and sticking to their usual routine so they feel right at home. Every dog has their own personality, and I make sure to tailor the day to what makes them happiest—whether that’s extra play, training games, or just lots of love.

- It’s really helpful for me to know about your pet’s daily routine, energy level, and any quirks or special needs they might have. A few things I like to ask about ahead of time are: Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions or allergies 🍽️ Medications or health concerns 💊 How they do on walks (leash manners, reactivity, triggers) 🚶♀️ Comfort level around other dogs/people 🐾 Favorite toys, games, or comfort items 🎾 Any rules at home you’d like me to keep consistent (couch, bed, crate, etc.) 🏡 The more I know, the better I can make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for just like they do with you!
