McKenna
Certified Trainer with 20+ Years of Fostering & Care Experience
Hi there, my name is McKenna, and dogs are my everything! In addition to always growing up with at least one dog in the home at all times, I started caring for other dogs from a young age! When I was a teenager I started fostering for a non-profit dog rescueโ it was my responsibility to look after pups and help train them in obedience & household manners while they waited for forever homes. In 2012, I became a positive reinforcement trainer at a large pet store chain, and helped families train & build bonds with their loving companions. I began pet-sitting professionally around that same time, offering clients peace of mind when they needed someone to look after their pups ๐ถ! I currently have three of my own dogs, who are great with doggie-visitors. I am still involved in fostering, and occasionally have one in my care while they wait for their happily ever after. Dogs are my everything ๐ Iโve been caring for dogs for over 20 years - I started fostering for rescue around age 15, and professionally I have 15+ years of experience. Iโve worked with all ages and have special experience with medical needs, fearful dogs, reactive dogs, and aggression (though I wonโt interact with my own dogs or other clientsโ dogs during stays). What makes my care style unique? Staying with me & my pack is like a daycare experience, but controlled, peaceful, and not overwhelming. My home offers a safe space for pups who may be more timid around other dogs so they can build up their confidence, while also offering playful dogs the opportunity to socialize with stable, well-mannered resident dogs.

We left our senior chihuahua, Chico, with McKenna for a couple of days and she was absolutely wonderful. She has a great dog-friendly backyard that Chico loved exploring (always supervised), and he was safe and secure in a kennel at night. Chico can be very picky and difficult when it comes to taking medication but McKenna has a ton of experience and made sure he got everything he needed. She also kept us updated with photos throughout his stay which we really appreciated. Thank you, McKenna for taking such great care of our little guy!

McKenna took great care of my two dogs, Brody and Remy. She was very careful to ensure that both dogs felt comfortable with her, her home, and the other dogs. She provided detailed updates along with photos and videos. I could tell that she cared a lot about how the dogs felt and keeping me updated on their progress throughout their stay. I loved that she had a yard for the dogs. Both dogs came home happy after!
