Experienced, Loving Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is McKinley, and I am a 24-year-old part time college student. I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and caring for dogs. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have medical experience in caring for my personal dog which includes administering insulin shots for his diabetes. I also have experience in caring for dogs with anxiety. I believe patience, kindness and enthusiasm are key qualities in caring for animals and stand by these practices in all circumstances. I understand that your dogs are not just pets, they are cherished members of your family. As a passionate dog lover, I am dedicated to providing a warm and nurturing presence where your precious pups can feel safe. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to share countless unforgettable moments with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From the mischievous puppy stages to the golden years of gentle wisdom, I have been there to support, love, and care for each dog I've had the privilege of meeting. With 8 years of dog-sitting experience, I am well-versed in tailoring my care to suit each dog's unique needs, quirks, and preferences.

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!

McKinley was excellent with Penny who is not easy and has anxiety around people and other dogs. She was great with her!

McKinely was amazing! She not only took care of our pups but was a very respectful guest in our home. She also was amazing dealing with our smart lock locking her out while we were away. Highly recommend!
