About: Hi there! My name is Mackenzie, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I was raised around both dogs and cats of all ages — from energetic puppies and curious kittens to gentle seniors — and I’ve developed years of hands-on experience with everything from basic training to daily care and affection. I maintain a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive, and personalized care for your pets. On my days off, I’m fully available and committed to making sure your furry family members feel safe, comfortable, and loved — whether that’s through daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is always safety, comfort, and consistency. I approach every pet with patience and respect, making sure their routines, preferences, and needs are followed closely so they feel secure while you’re away.

took my baby in last minute and he was so excited to meet someone new! he also made some very nice doggie friends along the way that he could play with as well. highly recommended☺️ also a really great communicator! Red will definitely want to visit again soon.

Aiko was awesome! We had a long stretch of time we needed to board our girl, Rhea, and right at a holiday too. She treated our dog like her own, and I got much loved updates and pictures. Rhea even had a weird adjustment period while there where she was being weird about her food, and Aiko was so accommodating and worked with me on ideas that could help. Rhea also got along with the other dogs boarding and Aiko’s dog, so I’d say she met some new play date buddies too 😊

I was very concerned about finding the appropriate sitter to leave my pup with while being out of the country for 11 nights. Charlotte F was the perfect person for the job. She cared for Rokco like her own dog. I was given regular updates via text, pictures and videos. I was comfortable knowing he was in such good care that I got to enjoy my vacation without stressing whether or not he was okay.

We had a great experience with Will and so did our dog Frank! He communicated well throughout the entire stay and followed all of our special requests. His relaxed personality made Frank feel right at home, and we felt reassured the whole time. I would definitely book with him again!
