Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Experienced Sitter
I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 different families in the past 5 years, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have a 10-year-old terrier/pitbull mix named Anna (we mostly call her Chicken), who is sweet, loving, and incredibly loyal. I truly see pets as family. I grew up around animals and have owned 4 cats, 2 dogs, 5 hamsters, a hermit crab, and a fish tank. My first cat was a Turkish Angora named Mr. Baby when I was little, so I’ve been comfortable with animals my whole life. I’m very friendly, open, and attentive, and I will treat your pet with the same care and love I give my own. If your pet requires any extra attention—such as medications, specific routines, or special care—I am always open and willing to accommodate whatever is needed to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and always pay close attention to behavior, routines, and needs. I have a very sweet and well-behaved 10-year-old dog named Anna (we call her Chicken), who is friendly and used to being around other animals. I follow any instructions given closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate training, or special care. I keep a clean and safe space, monitor pets closely, and make sure they feel secure, relaxed, and at home while in my care.
Ratings and reviews
She is always on time, helpful, respectful of our home, and most importantly, loves our dog well when we have to travel on extended trips (usually 3-5 days). This was our third stay having her, and our little old guy loved her company and our home was well taken care of while we were away. She even gave him all of his medications and he did so well! Looked happy the entire time. Highly recommended! Thank you!
McKinnon is very professional and trustworthy. Always communicative and took excellent care of our senior pups while we were gone for a long weekend. Came back to a house the way we left it and happy pups. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!
McKinnon was great. She made sure to take great care of our dog that has some medical needs. Would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet.
She did an outstanding job helping us by house and dog sitting while we were away and our elderly dog had just had surgery and needed extra love, attention, meds, and special instructions during her stay at our house with him. I was super nervous to leave him with all of this going on, but he was as happy as could be and didn’t have any issues with McKinnon. She sent lots of good pictures and updates and checked him and cared for him well. She did a lovely job protecting and caring for our dog AND our home. I’m so grateful! Booking with her again for sure! Thank you!
McKinnon took great care of our pup. She kept in touch with us and sent us photos (which we love and so appreciate), and Frasier was obviously well cared for and happy while we were away. Thanks so much, McKinnon!!
McKinnon was very professional and understanding of my special needs pup when he had an accident!

- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, medications, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. I like to keep pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress. Also let me know how your pet does with other animals, feeding preferences, and any triggers or anxieties. My goal is to make the experience as smooth, safe, and comfortable as possible for your pet.
