We had a troubling experience boarding our dog Zazie, with Jet Dog. After successfully working with Jet Dog to take our pup on weekly walks, we were excited about the prospect of them boarding her while we were away. Unfortunately very disappointed with the experience. While being boarded, our dog Zazie was bitten by another dog. We were never informed that she would be boarded with dogs she had never met, nor were we notified when the incident occurred. In fact, we only learned about the bite two full days later, and only after a wound became visibly noticeable. When we spoke with the boarder, we were told the bite did not warrant a vet visit because the wound was "nice and red and not smelly." We had to push for veterinary care ourselves. Once seen by a vet, it was clear this assessment was wrong, as the wound required cleaning and stitches. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. The cone that was placed after the initial vet visit either came off or was not properly monitored, resulting in the stitches coming out. Zazie had to be taken back to the vet for a second procedure involving staples. That visit cost $280, and despite the injury and follow-up complications occurring entirely under Jet Dog's supervision, they refused to cover even a portion of the cost. Incidents can happen in group settings, but what matters is transparency, urgency, and accountability. Jet Dog failed on all three fronts:     *    No disclosure about unfamiliar dogs being boarded together     *    A two-day delay in notifying us about a serious bite incident     *    Downplaying the wound that required medical attention     *    Refusal to take responsibility for resulting veterinary expenses When you leave your pet with a boarding service, you are trusting them with your dog's safety and well-being. In our experience, that trust was not respected and we are sharing this so other pet owners can make an informed decision. read more

JetDog has been great for our family (oh, and the dog!). We always feel like she's having fun and kept safe on her pack walks! The JetDog crew communicates very well and makes everything super smooth. read more

My staffy mix LOVES going out on the adventure pack walks. He comes back tired and happy. Highly recommend!

Audree, Hargo, and the JetDog crew were amazing and extremely accommodating. We've been using another service for our pup, Bernie, for a long time, but that other service became unavailable for some months. Audree and Hargo agreed to take Bernie on a temporary basis, even though their packs are often full. Bernie went out with Hargo almost every day, and he could not have been happier. They liked each other immediately, and Bernie fit in with the rest of the pack. Hargo sent pictures of Bernie out with the other dogs, and was very responsive when I had questions or needed to change my schedule. 10/10 would recommend to anybody who wants their dogs to be happier, healthier, and to have more enriching days. read more

While Jet Dog's walkers are priceless jewels that taught my pup to swim and reinforced his training over the span of five years,... Jet Dog's owner, Audree is very challenging to work with, and she no longer has any interaction with the dogs ( and never had any interaction with clients except to send self- serving contracts, raise rates, change the business model to a " subscription", or make you feel guilty for paying a bill late). I have recommended this service to dozens of Dog owners over the years because the walkers are great. But faced with a client that paid late, she'd rather punish your Dog by taking away wallkng services than be compassionate to a person with a disability that relies on her services, and simply add a late fee. I believe that in this economy, and faced with a client that has special needs, business can't afford to be nasty to their clients. There is always another option with better business savvy and (DOG forbid) some appreciation for the clients that have made the business succesful. A solid thumbs down for the owner of Jet Dog and her business practices. read more

Jet Dog - Dog Walkers Near Me

Our little Luca, an Italian Greyhound, has been walking with Jet Dog for the last four or five months, 3x per week. Luca loves it so much, and it isn't easy to describe just how excited he gets when Hargo arrives to pick him up! All of the walkers treat the dogs like their own family. I completely trust them to safely take our dog out for a fun, exploratory walk or hike and he always comes back thoroughly exercised. I feel like Jet Dog is the perfect partner to help with dog ownership. Not only do they give us a couple of extra hours each day, but socialization with other dogs and training reinforcement are invaluable. Luca has stayed over for a boarding night when we wanted to have a night out. Jet Dog will always be our boarder and walker of choice. We also love getting to see Luca in their Instagram photos and videos. How cool is it that our doggies are out there in the world, romping around with their friends?! :) read more

Jet Dog - It takes real skill to get five dogs to pose all at once! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Can't recommend highly enough. We have been sending our beloved pup on pack walks with Audree and her crew for over 6 years (and about 4 moves) now. Every time we move, we absolutely factor in whether we're still in Jet Dog's pick-up zone, that's how much we love them. They truly treat our dog like family and have done everything from dog-sit, help us figure out how to introduce her to new neighbor dogs, work on leash aggression, etc. Our dog is now around 12 years old but you'd never know it, everyone still thinks she's a puppy. I like to believe the extra love, fresh air, and rigorous exercise every day with Jet Dog have something to do with this! read more

We have been using Jet Dog for dog walking and training for several months now. Our pup Luna has really learned some important social and impulse control skills with Hargo and Jet Dog. We see her getting better every week. Hargo consistently reinforces the commands and expectations and takes the time to make sure we are doing the same at home. You can tell he has a real love for dogs, he is patient, kind, and a total natural with pups! Audree is also very helpful on the backend, she calls to explain things, answer questions, and has helped us come up with a plan for our Lunita. We are very grateful to Jet Dog and trust them fully. read more

What an amazing group of dog-people! We had a great experience with Jet Dog. Our dog-Bruno adores his walker/friend Patrick. You could tell Patrick loved Bruno as much as we did. We have recently moved out of the area and frankly Jet Dog is one of the things we missed the most about Oakland! read more

We can't imagine what we would have done without Audree and her team! We moved to the Bay Area in 2015 as two full-time working doggy parents to a 1 year old golden retriever mix, Meli, and knew we would need support to make it all work. Over the past five years we've lived in three different Oakland apartment/homes, taken countless trips, gotten married, went on a two-week honeymoon, and had our first human baby. And Jet Dog has been there every step of the way, literally. We've used Jet Dog for weekly pack hikes, short and long overnight stays, on call to watch our sweet Meli when I went into labor, and even invited a Jet Dog-er, Hargo, attend our wedding to keep Meli polite and happy as the dog-of-honor :) Audree, Delaine, Hargo, Gus, and all the walkers we have encountered over the past five years have been amazing. They love Meli and Meli loves her. Meli comes home happy and tired any time that she plays with Jet Dog pals. When we are away from home, we always get updates and photos. When we got married, Delaine bathed Meli for the big day. When we picked Meli up to meet her new human sibling, she had a sweet homemade pom pom necklace - blue for baby baby. Meli even got her own Christmas stocking this year while we were gone for the holidays! Audree and the team treat their pup clients as family and we're so grateful to have worked with them for the past five years. Look no further for responsible, caring, and extremely reliable providers for your pups. Thank you, Jet Dog! Here are a few photos of her adventures over the years. read more

When we contacted Audree and Jet Dog, we were pretty desperate fur kid parents. Our dogs, a Cocker and a mini Aussie Shepard, were sweet but they were mischievous and misbehaving little buggers. They did well with sitting, down and shaking but that was it. They barked uncontrollably when people came to the door or when they saw other dogs and people when on walks. The Aussie also liked to bite the man of the house. Audree has changed our dogs' lives and ours. For the past few months she has worked with them to become angels. Now they sit, stay, bark a lot less when people come to the door, and they go on off-leash adventures in the dog park with other dogs. They are friendly to other dogs and people and there is no more biting. The improvement in their behavior is remarkable. We love that Audree is trustworthy (she has a key to our house), conscientious, has a great sense of humor and is an incredible human being and dog trainer. Our dogs love love love her! The videos, Facebook posts/pictures and email updates are an extra special bonus. Audree knows dogs, knows how to influence positive behavior and she was able to come up with a plan for our dogs after her first outing with them. We recently took a trip to Europe and Audree and her team came to our home and stayed with the pups for two weeks. She sent us text messages so we could see the kids when we missed them. Audree is our only choice when it comes to an Oakland dog walker and dog trainer. read more

Our dog Trigger loves Audree. He waits for her at the door all morning and gives her a big hug when she comes to pick him up. I could not be happier to see my boy come home from his walk tired but feisty, having had a lot of fun and exercise. I must add, Audree looks just as happy which is reassuring - it's great to do business with people who enjoy what they do. It's also good to know that we can trust Jet Dog and its owner Audree our doggie when we go away. She is super responsible and we know Trigger is in good hands. read more

I met Audree through mutual friends and am I glad I did. I am currently in the process of becoming a dog professional and I was granted the opportunity to learn from and observe Audree in her element. I have acquired a deep admiration and respect for this amazing lady. Her understanding of dog behavior is key, she understands how they learn, interact and guides them into reaching their full potential. Creating packs can be a challenge, but each time I shadowed her and her selected group, I saw her knowledge in action. She establishes great relationships with each dog, knowing their limits and supporting their different personalities, all the while building their confidence. Observing other dog walkers and going on pack adventures with them makes me realize that Audree is one of a kind. She has a great understanding of dog body language, see's things before they happen, and knows when to step in. She constantly rewards good doggy behavior and removes rewards for unwanted behavior. For instance: If a dog keeps rolling in the mud, she'll give them a warning, maybe two, then if it keeps happening, uh oh, what happens? Leash is put back on, oh well, too bad for naughty doggy. Dogs learn by consequence, enforcing their natural way of learning is the fastest and best approach (and scientifically proven). Positive training is rare among the masses, and this is what your pet will receive when walking with Audree, dogs responding to positive training makes them want to learn. A happy pet equals happy owner. If you are looking for a great walker and mentor for your dog, Audree is the one, get in quickly because this gal is blowing up fast! read more

Jet Dog has been a great addition to my doggy's routine. I know my pup is in good hands and I love seeing spontaneous photos of him on their Instagram page. I see a noticeable difference in his behavior after he's been out on a hike with Jet Dog. He comes home calm, socialized, and totally tuckered out! Highly recommend their services. read more

Audree took Rumi on many happy walks when I was away. I did choose her because I saw her working, she really gives her pack a good workout, not just a stroll in the park. My dog loved her right away!! read more

Jet Dog has been there time and time again for me and my pup, Wilson. Professional, caring, and accommodating, I always feel like Wilson is in good hands and that is a comfort to me while I'm at work or away. I would highly recommend Audree and the Jet Dog team, I have had great experiences with both walks and pet-sitting. read more

Audree and her team are fantastic. After moving to the area a year ago, I struggled finding a day care or dog walker that our pup Gracie loved and was grateful to find Jet Dog. Whether taking Gracie on adventures, keeping her overnight, staying in our home to watch her and our kitty while we're away, or providing training guidance for Gracie's protective behaviors around our home, the Jet Dog team has been professional and dependable. Gracie loves going on adventures with her friends and having overnights with Audree, and I have peace of mind knowing my pup is happy and well cared for. read more

Audree & gang are wonderful. I used her service for years when I was working. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

My 8yr old was so impressed with the dog training Audree did, she blogged about our visit - http://iamwilliam.me/2014/02/16/yoda-the-dog-trainer/ - and keeps talking about it. read more

After a pretty disappointing experience with another dog walking service, I was a little bit nervous about handing my little one, Pumpernickel, over to someone new. However, after meeting Audree I was immediately put at ease. Pumps has been having adventures with Audree and all of her new friends for about a month now and we couldn't be happier! Not only does she get to go on LONG outings, she has also received some wonderful doggie training time. Her recall and leash behavior have both improved greatly. I look forward to her days with Jet Dog as much as she does! read more

Audree and the Jet Dog team are professional and passionate about making sure our fur baby Peanut is taken care of during the workweek. The pack walks helped her become socialized with other dogs and she always comes home exhausted from her adventures! I really enjoy that the groups are always small so that our dog receives a more personalized experience. I highly recommend Jet Dog if you need walking and sitting services for your pups! read more

Best Dog walker in Oakland! After going through several flakey Dog walkers, we found Jet Dog and couldn't be happier. Audree's service is above and beyond. She is not only a fabulous dog trainer/ dog walker ... but she is a trust worthy, conscientious professional you can count on. I also love that she sends pics and reports, and is flexible and easy to work with. Thank you Jet Dog !!! read more

Audree's team is professional, reliable, and loving. Our Luna has had a really nice experience using the neighborhood walk service when we are in a scheduling pinch. Recommended wholeheartedly! read more

Audree is spectacular with our pups, Buddy and Penny. Like most east bay dog owners, we treat our dogs like children! Audree doesn't make me feel crazy about it :) She's always there for the little guys, super dependable, and always easily contactable should I need to change or add a walk. She posts videos which I LOVE watching while I'm chained to my office desk. Sometimes we play the videos at home and Buddy and Penny go craaaazy when they hear her voice. They immediately run to the window and the door and start whining for their walk. read more

I couldn't agree more that Audree is a fabulous dog walker. I moved to Oakland about 6 months ago and needed a dog walker for my beloved pooch, Nelson. It turns out Audree lives less than a couple of miles away, and we decided to try dog boarding him there while I'm at work. Nelson now has some new best friends, gets VERY excited to go see Jet and Audree, and I feel such relief dropping him off there in the morning (or Audree will pick him up depending on the timing), knowing he is happy, loved, and not alone. I have seen Audree in action as a dog walker, and she is constantly tracking the needs and safety of the pack, and really knows what she's doing. I wholeheartedly recommend Jet Dog, and am so grateful for what Audree offers. read more

Audree and the team at Jet Dog have been helping to care for my fur-baby Luna, a sweet but rambunctious 1.5 year old husky/shepherd mix. From dog training to pack walks to solo adventure walks around the neighborhood, I've been super impressed with Audree- she's patient and reliable, a clear communicator, and offers clear and honest feedback about training and dog care. Luna is my first dog, and she's a handful- it's so nice to know that she's in loving and experience hands out in the woods, and it's such a delight to come home to an exhausted and happy pup on her days with Jet Dog. I'd highly recommend Audree for anyone looking for training or dog-care! read more

Audree and all the walkers are fantastic! My dog Casey is very skittish and shy and Audree took the time to get to know Casey and get her comfortable with her and the other walkers. Casey loves the adventure walks. read more

My dog has been going on adventures with Jet Dog for almost two years now and he loves them! I rely heavily on Audree and her team to help with my wild dog during my busy work weeks. It is great to know that I can rely on them to take care of Malcolm as if he was their own. They are super reliable and really amazing at accommodating my sometimes ever changing schedule. Malcolm loves his adventures with his friends at Jet Dog! read more
