I should known not to meet up w her hubby when he came to pick up my pup. The fan smelled nasty, my dog was shivering and the guy looked he dirty and not probably showered in days - red flag. If this is what they do they should be reported about "house sitting" - ie leaving the pets outside ontheir property instead of inside their home.

They were the only dog walkers we could find that were willing to work with our schedule. Our dog is a blind Puggle with a big personality. She absolutely loved every time she got to have her play dates with Jason. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about each dog. We even had them board her while we went on vacation a couple times. Honestly I'm not sure I would trust anybody more than Paws About Town with my dog.

Now he is so excited when they arrive to take him on his trail walk. Year round, he gets to hike in fun parks with his "friends" and his beloved Good Hound team members.

Amanda was sent from heaven for Maia and I. After having issues with the local doggy daycares not…read moretreating the animals right and keeping them locked in a small room to play, I was skeptical of having someone come into my home even and having them take Maia for walks. Being a professional with a crazy schedule, I can hardly make it home at lunch to take my princess outside. She likes to be at home and is comfortable there (doggy daycares make her nervous and she ended up losing 2lbs in a week- she's a 6lb Chorkie). Amanda came by the house and met with me and right away I could see that Maia was in love with her. She started the next day and since has done nothing but prove me wrong in that there REALLY ARE people out there who treat animals like their own. She takes Maia for walks and sends me updates and pictures of her. She also gets to meet new dogs, which I love! :) I come home and Maia is exhausted yet satisfied. I can see it in her eyes that she's telling me "mom, i had a good day". I'll use Amanda forever. I feel secure in that my home is in good hands, and so is my princess. Trust me, you won't find anyone to do what Amanda does and at such a good price, but I have to say... you CANNOT put a price on your pet's happiness! :D

I rescued a dog at the beginning of September and knew the first thing I needed to do was get this…read morepup a reliable dog walker. I spent some time searching and found the Purrfect Woof website. I contacted her through the site and she contacted me within a couple hours. We met and she was such a nice kind person. My dog is a rescue with some behavior problems (like humping her) and she was really great with him! Because I can't afford a dog walker each day, she was really open and was willing to just come however many days I asked for the following week. It made Cooper's transition to home life so much better. She is really the perfect person to be walking a dog and really observes how your dog is acting. She'll text 'Cooper was shaking his neck a lot-i think his ears are bothering him. You may want to take a look tonight!'. One of our dogs even had an accident, and she let us know AND cleaned it up! I even (only once!) asked her to walk the dog with only a few hour's notice after I had woken up late and didn't think he got enough of a walk before I had to get to work-and she was so there for me. We have another dog as well who is 10 so she doesn't need a walk. Amanda lets her outside in our yard before leaving so she can have a pee break too (even though she doesn't need it). I'm so glad that my family found her-she's a HUGE help to us!

Why is this called Newton Dog Walking? The location of the play group is Sherborne. Ask Corbin if…read moreyou can check out his facility before you sign on. You should be able to inspect the facility where your dog goes everyday. Corbin seems more of a businessman than a dog person: when my dog died, he merely scratched her off his list without any acknowledgement of my loss. Dog walkers not allowed to text dog owners: all communication was to go through him, leading to mishaps, no-shows and confusion. If something happened to your dog on a walk, wouldn't you want to know right away? I should add that my problem was with the way the business: my dog walker was excellent. I last used Corbin several years ago and perhaps things are different now. Somehow I don't think so.

Bark and stroll is also very affordable compared to other dog walkers in the area which was one of the reasons I chose them in the first place. Sookee absolutely loves her!

If we are working on training, Debbie incorporates it into her time with our dog so that there is continuity in the messages she receives from her handlers.
