After 6 years of working with Miller's Menagerie, and recommending them to so many people, it…read moreabsolutely pain and saddens me to have to write about my most recent (and last) experience with Jonathan. Please see below for the message I had to send: I think it goes without saying that effective immediately, Daisy will not continue to be under your "care" in any way. After speaking with multiple friends with dogs, other dog walkers and her veterinarian, there is not a single person who thinks what transpired today was remotely okay. You not only told me you'd drop her off in the morning and didn't communicate a change of plans, but I had to go looking for her. Using her GPS collar, I found her sitting in the back of your van, in full sun, on a 70+ degree day with the front windows cracked one inch. She was with at least one other dog that I saw. She sat in these conditions for 1.5 HOURS. Not for an emergency or a car repair or an accident, but because of soccer?! Those priorities do not work for me. According to our veterinarian, it takes a 75 degree day to kill a dog in this way. She came home, and for the second time this week after your "care" she drank half her entire water bowl in one go. The first time she did this a few days ago, I thought it was a fluke but now I'm starting to put it together. Even more bewilderingly, this was an ELEVEN minute drive from my house and I was home the entire time wondering where my dog was. After looking at her GPS more thoroughly, I realized that she spent the night near Santa Cruz, at an unknown location for 17 hours. I did not giving my permission to take Daisy out of San Francisco, especially with her injury. It doesn't matter if it was *only* a 70 degree day, it doesn't matter that she was okay, NOTHING you could reply to this trying to justify your actions is valid. I know Daisy, and I know these conditions would make her, or any animal, very stressed. After 6 years, I feel angry, upset, betrayed and sad that our working relationship has to end like this but you've lost my trust to take care of her. Drop my keys off tomorrow- you can leave them under the mat and pick up your leash/ it will be hanging on the door.

My shy mini goldendoodle, Olive, has been part of Miller's Menagerie for about year now and we both…read moreLOVE them. Here are just a couple of pros: - The most flexible dog walker I've found. They are very accommodating to last-minute time changes since my work schedule - reasonably priced - they occasionally send photos to you throughout the work day and send you a lot more early on to reassure you which is nice - the outside time is closely monitored but off leash and in a park which Olive loves - They're careful to towel her off if she gets crazy dirty. (We have white couches..) - employees genuinely seem like they're super compassionate and love dogs. Olive gets overwhelmingly excited whenever she hears me open the gate for them. - they text! Makes updates super easy I sincerely love Miller's Menagerie and will continue to use them for as long as we live in SF! Photos below are ones they've sent to me of Olive on walks!

This review is LONG over due. We got our Oban in 2020…read more After graduating puppy school at Smarty Pups, we thought it would be a good idea to continue socializing Oban through daycare. I did a fair amount of research via Yelp, but found Good Dog via Instagram. We met Erik and Teal for "testing" at their facilitating near the Alemany Market, and phew!, Oban passed. The facility is spacious, clean, and has an indoor and outdoor area. We started Oban with 3 days a week playcare. He is picked up between 10-11am and home between 4-5pm. He is exhausted by the time he gets home and we don't experience the witching hour that we do when he is home all day. Unlike off-leash plays at the beach, we are not concerned that Oban will bring home lbs of sand or worse off run away. You can tell that Teal, Erik, and Yvonne all love dogs and they take great care of all of the pups. Sometimes, our Oban sits and stares at the door waiting for one of them to come through and take him away to his happy place. We don't know whether to have hurt feelings, or feel joy because he is so happy to go there. When we were finally able to travel (COVID and all) we boarded Oban with Teal and Erik. They sent us daily pictures and updates about his well-being, and what he was doing. These people just plain love dogs and treat them well.

5 stars is far too few for Good Dog Playcare. After our baby was born last year, we realized we…read moreneeded a better dog care situation for our handsome bichon-poodle mix Teddy. We found Good Dog via yelp, and we quickly understood the 5-star reviews that came before ours. Teal, Erik, and Yvonne are absolutely fabulous hoomans who clearly LOVE doggos. Teddy has so much fun with his friends! He comes home every day tired from all of his playing, but then can't wait to go back the next day. Good Dog makes it super easy for us by picking Teddy up and dropping him off at home, and we love the photos (both on Instagram and sent to our phones nearly every day). And their prices are super reasonable! In short -- if you have a doggo and need daycare, call Good Dog today!!!

I live in SOMA where it is hard for dog walkers to drive over due to the traffic.My dog is also very temperamental and hates strangers and other dogs which made it more difficult to find a dog walker who was alright with that. I've been turned down by quite a few dog walkers and Wag walkers because of my dog's behavior and I was at a loss until I was referred to Power to the pooches. When we first met up for assessment, Patrick took my dog for a walk around the block and while she did exhibit some hostility, he was willing to give her a shot! It's been a year now and my dog has transformed from a people-hating, hostile dog to one that actually got so excited to go out for walks with her assigned walker, Porfirio, everyday. This shows that they really care for their dogs and are willing to work with the problem ones too. I also like the fact that they go to different walking routes. Sometimes they go to hiking trails in the city instead of the same dog park all the time. They also know which trails/parks are best for dogs depending on season to prevent burrs from being stuck to the dogs paws or where it doesn't get too muddy during rainy days. My dog is usually out all morning and back in the early afternoon where she then takes her nap until i'm home in the evening. They also have one of the best price points compared to Wag or other dog walking services which was a plus. In terms of communication, Patrick and team are always readily available through text. Highly recommend !!

No show again; then when he finally got our dog at 8 pm, he fed him at 10:30 pm without checking with us. Our dog vomited, and he claimed that he had kennel cough w/o evidence, & insisted on returning him to us immediately that night. Of course, he demanded 150% of the daily boarding rate to return him & clean up his vomit, and threatened to not return the dog's belongings. Our dog was vaccinated & was healthy & acting normally when we got him back. Not happy and definitely don't recommend!

Not only do they include pick up & drop off (for a super reasonable rate), they provide incredible care and are very flexible with scheduling. They are both kind and trustworthy individuals that my dog loves! They also both own and manage the business personally, which I much prefer to the corporate feel of the larger daycare services. They also provide boarding services at their own homes, so you don't have to scramble trying to find care when you go out of town, and I always know that my pup is super safe and happy with them. I can't recommend them enough! Plus, they'll send you super cute pics :)

I…read morebrought my 4-month-old puppy Lychee there because I noticed that she kept getting really shaky and nervous whenever she saw another dog while out on walks. Leon was great about getting her accustomed to the space and did a really wonderful job the first day of letting her gradually meet friendly dogs one-on-one in her own little spot before mixing her with the group. Now when we're on walks instead of running away from the other dogs she keeps trying to get us to walk towards them! She has gotten so much more comfortable and better socialized. She also loves Leon and Bonnie and runs into their arms without really paying me any mind when I go to drop her off. I also really appreciate how they take the time to tell me how she did and who she played with. Leon even sends me photos on my phone because I don't have Instagram. If you're a new pup parent like me, I'd strongly recommend checking out Paws Pet N' Play! It's been a great way for me to get a bunch of stuff done for a couple of hours and rest assured knowing that my puppy is having a blast.

Mike is fantastic!…read more He works with our 1.5yr black GSD who is beyond energetic and a little psycho with strangers. The first time they met, she kept barking at him and he was completely unphased. He knew exactly how to handle and behave around her to get her more comfortable. The first 2 times he picked her up, she was a little wary. However, by the third time she knew what was up and looked forward to going with him. We love Mike because he took his time to talk to us and the patience he showed Nezzy. Not only does his walks help with her energy management, but she has also become so much better overall. At the park, her recall has improved significantly. On the walks, she's not as reactive anymore. Mike is hard working, no nonsense, and dedicated to his craft.
