Therapist and Dog Lover
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a part time psychotherapist looking for a way to spend my extra time with the animals I love. Starting in September I will have plenty of time to help you with your pet needs! I have been dog sitting and dog walking since I was 17. I have raised my own Mini Australian Shepherd and have walked all sorts of doggo friends from Chiuauas to a 100 lb St. Bernard named Barklay. I have my Masters in Family Therapy, and I absolutely believe our pets are an essential part of our families. I also believe in the immortance of our pets regarding our own emotional support and well being. Therefore, our pets deserve just as much love and care as their owners do. As an avid exerciser, I am delighted to extend my daily activity into providing play time, walks, yard frolick sessions and visits to the park with your pet. Let me provide a therapeutic environment for your animals and a sense of comfort while you are way in knowing that your pet is happy, loved, understood and appreciated.

Lenzie is awesome! She’s very responsive and took amazing care of our puppy. She sent regular updates and pictures on their walk. :) 10/10!
Lenzie has been walking little Yoda regularly for about a month now and has been amazing so far! She is extremely communicative and seems to have a true love for animals, which is greatly appreciated. Her pictures and summaries in the post-walk "Rover Cards" are always very detailed and make it seem like her and Yoda have a lot of fun together on their walks. I highly recommend Lenzie for any dog-walking/watching/loving needs!
Lenzie is a responsible walker and caregiver that provides peace of mind to me! Not to mention, my golden retriever, Bentley loves both her and her precious pup, Nuka. She is very flexible and will make sure your pup gets the exercise and love that they need while you are away!
Lenzie is great with animals! I have two labs, both over 70 pounds — and they absolutely adore her!! My dogs are basically my kids, so I wouldn’t trust just anyone with them. Lenzie always takes the best care of them and I always have peace of mind when I know she is watching them!

Information Lenzie A. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences! But I would like to know as much info about the dogs breed/mix before we get started, only so I can get a head start on their temperament and energy level. I would love to know how well they get a long with other dogs, their energy level, any sore or sensitive parts of their body due to arthritis, etc., they're favorite treats and activities...basically anything the pawrents are willing to let me know about!
A typical day
Much of my activities with your pets will be similar to the daily activities I do daily with my own dog to keep him happy and entertained! Walks are obviously essential, but I try to mix up the places and spaces we travel to in order to keep them interested! For example, I love walking around my neighborhood in midtown, but I often make it over to the quieter parts of Virginia Highlands. The dog park at Piedmont Park is a great place for me to check out with your pup as well! I also plan to take any dog I'm taking care of to the Morningside Nature Reserve, as long as this is ok with the pawrents. Ball and frisbee tosses are another great daytime activity. I have access to a dog run at my apartment and a small yard in Virginia Highlands (in the house I grew up in) where I can take active pups for playtime. Indoor playtime is a great option when its gross outside. This often involves training for treats!
