Kate and her staff at My Kind of Hound have been invaluable to us. They both regularly walk our…read moretwo dogs and have house-sat them when we have left for short vacations. The simplest thing I can say is that we trust them completely -- and when our dogs (which are family to us) are in their hands, we have no worries. What separates Kate from other dog walkers or dog boarding places we have tried is somewhat of an intangible: she exudes kindness and care and the dogs pick up on that immediately. And she seems to have chosen staff who share that quality as well. One of our dogs, who can be rather difficult and shy, took to Kate and other staff instantaneously. As other reviewers have noted, she is super-flexible and willing to focus on whatever quirks or skills you want to emphasize.

They are always able to deal with our last minute changes. They are always understanding and don't make us feel like jerks for requesting a last minute walk. When we got locked out one night Kate had her husband bring us our keys. They could not have been nicer about it. I had totally inconvenienced them and they were so understanding and nice!! After that I am a costumer for life! lol

We've been using Snappy Paws since early 2012 and could not be happier. Carla and her team are the…read morebest dog walkers we've ever had. Carla is very responsive and is always on top of things. Our dogs LOVE their walkers, even though they don't see them as often anymore because I now work from home. We use Snappy Paws whenever we go out of town too. Their vacation sitting service is the best! It's great to be able to let our dogs stay in their own environment when we do have to go away.

Thank you, Snappy Paws! Why am I so thankful?…read more Well, Snappy Paws has been providing my dog with walks for over 1 1/2 years. When I began looking for a dog walker, I called a number of places because I needed services for my pup as soon as possible. The owner, Carla, called me back right away, scheduled an introductory meeting quickly, and my dog's walks began immediately thereafter. The prices are fair. Each Snappy Paws walker has been responsible and trustworthy. Moreover, Carla has always accommodated last minute requests for additional walks or schedule changes, even when it would have been reasonable to decline them. Most importantly, these walks help me keep my buddy happy and healthy, which makes my life better.

I heard of Albany Bark from my neighbor and was hesitant but they were fantastic! This company is…read moreamazing, they were able to accommodate me 2days before I needed service. They're friendly ,knowledgeable and work hard to make sure your fur baby is cared for . I dealt mostly with L ( names not shown for safety reasons) mainly and she was awesome and had great personality. She actually loved what she did and that says a lot to me considering most people don't like their jobs. Also a few of my neighbors would see her and tell me how wonderful she was with my fur baby. I would use them again ,definitely recommend them to any of my friends who have pets .

To the internets to search for a dog walker! One email to Kim, a response within two hours, some details about Kaspar and timing, and Alessandra was here the very next day. My dog has decided Alessandra is his new girlfriend and now spends the time it takes Alessandra to get upstairs sitting by my front door shrieking with excitement. If it weren't frowned upon by society, I get the feeling Alessandra would do the same. It's clear she loves our little dude. And he loves her. He gets his little midday walk in with someone who really enjoys him, I don't have to accidentally fall down three flights of stairs to let him out. It's a win-win.
