Dog Walking in Winter Gardens

“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!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over four years, including senior dogs and energetic puppies. I’m trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and provide lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and reading dog body language to keep pets safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or structured care, I treat every dog like my own. I’m currently don’t work, so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding all day every day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays with ease. I have a secure one acre fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends! Your pup will be safe, socialized, and cared for in a loving home environment. I can also crate your dog if needed and always follow the owner’s instructions for safety and comfort.

About: Experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs. Volunteer Therapy Dog Walker. Prior pet store employee before enlisting. Not skiddish of any other animals. Raised my eldest dog from 4months to now 10 years. Our zoo has six animals. They are all friends and hang out peacefully… or rambunctiously. They are well taken care of and can spare mom for other friends that need it thanks to Dad and Other roomates. I follow guidelines set by pet owners. I try to teach good habits and reward positive actions. Not all animals learn the same so tailor to each animals learning style but stay consistent in the Do’s and Dont’s.

“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!!”

How I Care for Your Pets I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Here’s what you can expect when I care for your pet: • Daily Routine: I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe. • Lots of Love & Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch, brushing, or just sitting together quietly, I spend quality time with your pet to make sure they feel cared for and never lonely. • Safe & Clean Environment: I ensure food and water bowls are cleaned regularly, litter boxes are scooped, and any accidents are handled with care and cleanliness. • Exercise & Mental Stimulation: From long walks and park time to puzzle toys and games, I keep pets active and engaged based on their age, energy, and personality. • Regular Updates: I send photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Every animal is different, so I always ask about medical needs, behavioral quirks, and preferences before you go—so I can give the best care possible.

Lastly she’s great with communication and accommodating my insane schedule with the military. I could not recommend her enough.”
