A Dog Walker Who Goes Above and Beyond I cannot recommend…read moreMichelle highly enough. She has been Don Tot's dog walker for nearly 9 years--since she was a puppy--and the care and dedication she has shown is truly exceptional. Michelle has such a thoughtful approach to her work. She runs both morning and afternoon group walks and takes great care to match dogs based on their personalities. Don Tot has always been perfectly matched with her group, and they all got along beautifully. Whether it was playtime at Stern Grove, Fort Funston, or the local dog parks, every outing was a happy adventure. Unfortunately, my dog is a senior and she has some health issues. What really sets Michelle apart is how deeply she cares. I'll never forget when one of her clients' dogs got out while the owners were traveling (not during a walk). Michelle immediately sprang into action--she set up a ring camera outside the home, placed the owner's clothing near the residence hoping the scent would draw the dog back, and then stayed in her car all night keeping watch. I brought her dinner that evening, and sure enough, the dog came home. That's the kind of person Michelle is--she treats every dog in her care as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your dog like family, Michelle is that person. She services, Sunset, West Portal, St Francis and neighborhoods in between.

Michelle really does go above and beyond for the dogs under her care. Mochi always listens to…read moreMichelle. The dogs are matched well and all get along in their packs.

She is reliable, professional, and also tremendously knowledgeable about all things dog related--care, behavior, training, referrals etc. She takes the time to know every dog in her pack and is sure to give them the individual attention they need and feels they deserve. She treats the dogs she takes care of like they are her own because she truly cares about their well being. A true animal lover, Carla is always there in a pinch or to help out in an emergency. Not only do we love her, but most importantly so does our Lab! Jake waits eagerly at the window for her arrival and goes berserk with excitement when she walks in the door. When we travel, Carla frequently stays and sits with Jake. Before she leaves she makes sure that we are back in the city so he is not left alone too long. Rain or shine she is dependable and trustworthy. Carla is more than a dog walker, she is a real caretaker and I can't say enough wonderful things about her!

Very professional, Pamela arrived for our initial interview and walk with documents in hand, asking about Niko's history and his special needs. This was very comforting, considering that Shibas are known "flight-risks", and Pamela took this information very seriously. I have been using Pamela's Roaming Hound Dog Walking services for just about 2 years now, and I highly recommend her services!! AND, Niko loves her too! He comes home exhausted from play with a smile on his face... that speaks volumes.

I can't say enough great things about Top Dog SF! This might sound a little unconventional, but I…read morejust hosted a 10th birthday party for my dog here after he went through a really intense health journey last year so this milestone meant everything to my family and I. From the very beginning, the process was incredibly smooth. Reaching out through their website and coordinating the booking for a non-hosted event was so easy, and the communication was clear, responsive, and genuinely helpful. The space itself was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for to celebrate with close friends and family. Everything came together seamlessly, which made the day even more special and stress-free. I catered food and brought my own decor and it was an easy set up and takedown. I'm so grateful to the team at Top Dog SF for helping make this meaningful celebration possible. I would 100% book here again. Thank you so much!

The bond she has with the Top Dog team is incredibly special. They're accommodating and communicative with scheduling and focus on safety.

They genuinely put the happiness and well being of the dogs first and we're lucky to have Natalie and the Top Dog team in our dog's life.

By far the best dog walker in SF! Since our first interaction with Kate, we could not have asked…read morefor anyone better. Our little schnoodle Lucy is a very anxious and stressed out pup, but she immediately felt comfortable with Kate and the rest of the gang! Lucy loved her daily trips to the beach and was always so excited to see Kate. Afternoon naps were a must, so she definitely got her exercise everyday. And Kate consistently went above and beyond - weekly report cards, texts when she noticed anything out of the ordinary, swift responses to any questions we had, and TONS of pictures! Kate truly cares for the dogs as if they were her own, and gave us peace of mind that Lucy was always getting the best care possible. We've since moved out of the Bay Area and miss Kate's Play Dates tremendously. If you're looking for a dog walker in SF - it doesn't get any better than Kate!

He's got friends, wrestles, runs on the beach (Kate runs with them) and comes home happy and ready for a nap. Kate is amazing at filling me in on what's up with Linus and the pack, and even called me when another dog had a cough, to let me know it could be contagious (it turned out not to be) and to watch Linus for symptoms. She does careful intake, which put me at ease. You can tell it's important to her that all the pups get along, feel secure, and have fun. She is very affordable given her level of experience and professionalism. We love Kate!

WLTDO is the place! As an anxious dog owner myself, it makes me nervous to have my dog with strangers or unknown dogs. The owner, Lauren made me feel immediately comfortable and welcome and she took the time to talk about, meet, and understand my dog, his needs and my needs to match him with an appropriate doggie play group and dog walker. Shoutout to my dog walker Brandon, he is so kind, helpful and always sends me pictures of my guy playing, active and having a blast with other dogs. Shoutout also to Apollo who has watched my dog for 3 trips I've been on from the lengths of 3-6 nights. He did an incredible job and was very communicative. My dog absolutely loves time with Brandon and Apollo and the other doggies Who Let The Dogs Out (WLTDO) is reasonably priced compared to other companies and I could not been more grateful to have found them. Going back to my job this week 8-4. I have a lot of peace of mind, knowing my dog has found a doggy playgroup for an hour every day that will come to the home and take him to a doggy park and give him some excitement and social socialization in the middle of the day so I am not panicking to get home at the end of each day like I used to be.
