Highlights
Pet care experience
3–5 Mile Hikes & Lots of Love!
I owned and operated my own dog boarding and hiking business from 2017-2025 called Happy Tails On Trails, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at once and led group hikes, giving me plenty of experience managing different personalities and energy levels while keeping everyone safe, happy, and well exercised. Running my own business also taught me how important communication and trust are when caring for someone else's pet. I got to know each dog individually, communicate closely with their owners, and make sure their needs were met while they were in my care. I eventually closed my business after having my daughter and moving to the Valley, but my love for dogs and years of experience caring for them have never gone away. I'm excited to continue doing what I love by providing dogs with a safe, active, and loving home away from home! 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great communication with me about day to day activities, I loved that my dogs were exercised everyday and worn out when I picked them up
Mikenzie is amazing! She is so sweet with our elderly dog, & he adores her. She cared for him for nearly 3 weeks while I was out of the country, & when I returned she had even cleaned the house & bathed my dog. Mikenzie is definitely a keeper!
Mikenzie did a great job with my pup! She was able to help me on a last minute booking and sent me super cute pics of my dog Mylah, just hanging out or on hikes, while I was away. Both myself and Mylah were very happy about her stay and I would definitely recommend booking with Mikenzie as I will likely do again in the future
Rowdy immediately loved Rowdy, & I was confident in leaving him with her.
What a blessing we found Kinzie!!! Our dogs love her and is always in communication with us via text, photos and videos. Charli & Shelby told me to tell you Kinzie thank you for taking great care of us!!!
Absolutely amazing!!!!

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, and I am home much of the day, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. Typical Doggy Day Care Schedule: 🕕 6:00–8:00 AM — Daycare drop-off & settle in 🥾 9:00 AM–12:00 PM — Walk/hike, approximately 3–5 miles 💤 12:00–2:00 PM — Rest, water & downtime 🌿 2:00–3:00 PM — Potty break & supervised outdoor time 🐾 3:00–5:00 PM — Outdoor play, potty breaks & relaxation 🏡 By 6:00 PM — Daycare pickup The schedule may vary depending on weather, the dogs in my care, and the length of our morning adventure. I adjust activity based on each dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. My goal is for every dog to go home happy, well-exercised, and ready for a good nap! 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is a comfortable, family oriented environment where dogs can relax, receive plenty of attention, and be part of our daily routine. I supervise dogs closely and take their individual temperament and needs seriously. Because we have chickens on our property, safety around poultry is especially important to me. I will need to know upfront, so I can keep them in the run if needed. I believe communication is a big part of good pet care. I want you to feel comfortable knowing how your dog is doing while you're away, and I'm happy to send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out on everything they're doing!
Pets
A typical day
My schedule is fairly flexible, and I am home much of the day. Because of that, I am able to provide dogs with companionship and attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I enjoy getting outside for 3-5 mile hikes with the dogs, but I also understand that not every dog needs or wants a big adventure every day. I tailor activities to each dog's age, personality, energy level, and comfort. I do have a family and normal household responsibilities, so I am upfront about my schedule and make sure every dog I accept is a good fit for the routine in our home.

- Before booking, I like to know about your dog's personality, energy level, training, and how they do around other animals. I especially want to know how they behave around birds or other small animals because we have chickens on our property. Please let me know if your dog has a strong prey drive, has ever chased birds or chickens, or has any behaviors I should be aware of. I also like to know whether they are comfortable being around other dogs, whether they are crate trained, and anything that helps them feel comfortable while they're away from home. I want to make sure every dog I accept is a good fit for our home and that I can provide them with a safe, happy stay.
