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.
“My dogs stayed with Lyndsay over a weekend and had a wonderful time. She made sure to send photo updates throughout the weekend and was very responsive to any questions I had. She responded very quickly to my inquiry and was very flexible for drop-off and pick-up times. She was also flexible with allowing the dogs on furniture and in/on the bed. I would definitely recommend Lyndsay for dog boarding and intend on boarding with her in the future.”
