The North Carolina medical board states it may take up to four months to issue my medical license, so my schedule is pretty free until then. I will be away for a few weekends for family weddings this summer, but I will keep my Rover schedule as updated as I can!

Safety, trust & environment

I have one cat at home who is up to date on vaccines and friendly with other animals. I avoid toxic plants and keep food, cleaning supplies, etc away from pets’ reach. In your home, I do my best to follow instructions given and keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable.

Information McKenzie Y. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any medical conditions or quirks, let’s talk about it in advance! I’m happy to give medicine, go on longer walks, whatever is needed to keep them and you happy.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks to both exercise the dog and let them smell lots of things on the way. For rainy days, I can get creative and help with indoor stimulation activities.

Pet care experience

I’ve had at least one cat and dog in the house, my whole life, and my family fostered puppies when I was in middle school. I now have a cat of my own that I rescued in college and adore. I volunteer at Blue Ridge Humane Society, and have been trained to work with their dogs. I’m a PA (physician assistant) student, so while I’m not trained in veterinary medicine, I am trained in people medicine. I understand the trust it takes to have someone else watch your pet, so please reach out with any questions or concerns!

SO RESPONSIBLE AND DEPENDABLE! When we leave our pets we are depending on walkers and sitters to be there for us and our pet….McKenzie covers all the bases. She came over to get the lay of the land and asked the right questions. Look no farther for a fantastic walker and great communicator!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
