Experienced, Loving Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is McKinley, and I am a 27-year-old part time college student. I grew up around animals and my love for them has only grown more in my adult years. I am especially passionate about caring for dogs but have a deep love and appreciation for all animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets, caring for family and friends’ pets, and multiple years of pet care through Rover. I also have medical experience from caring for my personal senior dog which included administering insulin shots for diabetes. I am experienced in caring for animals with anxiety as well. I believe patience and kindness are key qualities in caring for animals and I stand by these practices in all circumstances.

McKinley was super accommodating and caring with our dogs stay over. It was the first time we left him, and it turned very well. McKinley made everything very comfortable. I would highly recommend.

McKinley was a fantastic pet sitter! She communicated in a timely manner, made a nice connection with my somewhat high needs Catahoula dog and elderly cat. She provided excellent care and left my home in perfect condition. She sent updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay with my pets. I will definitely book her again!

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.
