“Makenzie is amazing! She always includes tons of photos and is great at communicating around anything with the regular walks. My dog is very nervous around new people, and she immediately loved Makenzie. She has a great presence with dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

“Destiny is very knowledgeable about dogs. I appreciate her ability to come and minister to Huck as he is a rescue. Huck has independent rebellious ideas. We are trying to calm him to let him know he is safe and we care about him. Destiny can handle him and he likes her very much. In fact last visit he talked to her! I noticed it. Thanks Destiny!”

She loves on them all the time and in addition, she makes fresh dog food for her own dogs and shares it with mine when having them stay with her. Since my guys are little, Savelina welcomes them to her lap on the couch when relaxing or TV watching, which makes them very happy. When I return, they are somewhat reluctant to leave the lap of luxury and come back home with me!”
