About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I love being outside and seeing happy dogs on walks! I grew up with a dog that I loved dearly, and enjoyed nothing more than spending time inside and outside with him! Since his passing, I have gotten a little over a year of experience petsitting and dog-walking, and am looking to expand and help more families keep their fur babies happy! Whether that be by dropping by for a walk and some tummy rubs, or hanging out while you’re on vacation, I am ready and excited to help out! I’m a high energy person who loves playing with and caring for dogs; please contact me if you think I could be a good pet for your best friend! I have also become a big cat person in my personal life! I have cats of my own and I love them very much. They both have some minor medical conditions that require prescription feeding and monitoring, so I am used to sensitive kitties who need a little extra love. I would love to help care for cats in the area, so other cat people can travel and vacation and have time away from home knowing that their furbaby is well cared for and loved in their absence! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am available throughout the day for feeding, walking, playing, and relaxing with your pets! I am very detail oriented and can ensure that the care your pet receives from me mimics the care they receive from you, to keep your furbaby comfortable and relaxed while you're away!
“Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.”
About: I raised two Boston Terrier sisters from pups to senior dogs. I'm familiar, comfortable, and prefer the sheduele that a pet dog(s) requires. As well, I've rescued several stray dogs that were later adopted into loving families or relocated to their home. I am passionate about the safety, care, and basic needs of each pet with intentions to exceed expectations above and beyond. I only work part time, majorly during the morning hours; therefore, I'll have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to care for your pet! Also, I have complete open availability during the weekends. I would love to spend my free time getting to know and love your pet! I have a massive yard for pet play with plenty of grass, trees, and free range to roam. Although I have three cats, they are all indoor and outdoor which works perfectly depending on your pet's own personal needs regarding other animals too. Most importantly, your pet would be in a quiet and loving environment surrounded by nature.
