I’ll be working a full-time internship during the summer since I’m a college student (typically early morning to mid-afternoon), which allows me to be available before work, in the evenings, and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine through morning walks/feeding, evening walks, playtime, and consistent check-ins. I’m committed to maintaining a dependable schedule and making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything tidy while ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive during walks, use secure leashing, and monitor behavior to prevent any risks. My goal is to provide consistent, trustworthy care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

Information McKenzie S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, and any behaviors like anxiety or leash reactivity. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities and will adjust my care to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood.

A typical day

A typical day includes morning walks, feeding, and plenty of playtime to keep your dog active and happy. I like to mix in both physical activity and mental stimulation with games, new walking routes, and exploring nearby parks. In the evenings, we’ll go on another walk, wind down, and make sure your pet feels relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for.

McKenzie was great! She took fantastic care of my two pups and sent updates throughout the day. She left our place in great shape and even came back later in the day to check on them before I got home.

McKenzie has taken care of our dogs for several years now and is always so great with them. She plays ball with them, snuggles with them, feeds them well, keeps the house well kept, and more importantly just loves on our dogs like they are her own. I feel comfortable leaving out of town knowing she is watching our home and our beloved pets that everything will be fine and taken care of.

McKenzie was so wonderful to work with! She was so caring with our energetic Australian Shepard, Hank! Not only did she exceed my expectations for a dog sitter- she was so communicative! I appreciated the photo updates, along with the extra and time and care she showed our pup. I felt so comfortable leaving her in my home, & will definitely be using MaKenzie any time I need a dog sitter! Highly recommend!!!!!

McKenzie has helped me take care of my dog, Smalls, anytime I have asked her for help for months now. As a full time college student in 16 credit hours and a full time employee working 40+ hours a week, my schedule is always packed full from 7 in the morning until late at night, meaning sometimes I am gone from home for hours. Anytime I have asked McKenzie to help take care of Smalls, whether it’s a quick check up or a long walk, it’s always no questions asked and never a concern for her. She always sends me updates about their walks together, how they play with the ball, and their visits to the park whenever time allows for it. McKenzie is extremely reliable and takes care of Smalls as if he was her own pet. I cannot recommend McKenzie enough!
