Grace has been a godsend for us and our dog. We adopted a rescue that has severe resource guarding issues and had not been socialized with people nor dogs. He's a unique dog, and for a while we weren't sure we would ever find someone who could effectively and safely handle him, but Grace was able to not only speak his language - but also safely integrate him into walks with other dogs and help muzzle train him. She quickly became his favorite person and was one of the only people he trusted. Grace went beyond the walks and basic training and would sometimes ask if she could take him overnight to get him used to being around different dogs (hers) and people. He always loves these sleepover and has learned to better read other dogs and communicate as a result. Our boy has come a long way, and we owe so much of that to Grace and Lucky Dog! read more

We had to find a kennel in a rush because of an unexpected situation. We called all the kennels we knew of but they were full, so we went looking at the "unknowns". This turned out to be the perfect place for our dog. Jeff and Grace keep great control over the animals, and keep the numbers way down. Our dog was unsure of herself for the first day or so, but quickly joined the pack because I believe she felt very safe at this place. Great big fenced areas to play in, and best of all communal sleeping on furniture! She felt right at home. Highly recommend this place. You can see her airborne flying with the pack in the second photo! read more

Just wanted to update to emphasize how wonderful, patient, and flexible they are! Our dog has had a couple of medical things come up, and we had to cancel some trips. Lucky Paws was super compassionate and understanding and willing to work with us to see if we could make things work. 100% recommend their business! They care about you as a client. read more

Lucky Paws Tennessee has been the biggest blessing for me and my dog. I travel a lot for work and my dog always goes to Grace's house when I am out of town. He has spent a ton of time there and absolutely loves it! When Grace comes to my door to take my dog to her house, he is so excited he can't get in her car fast enough! I never worry when he is at Grace's because I know he is in the best hands. I receive the happiest pictures of him playing in her yard every day. Grace trains my dog too and I have seen huge progress in him! She goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my fur baby. I recommend Lucky Paws Tennessee to everyone, we have truly had the best experience. read more

I was extremely pleased with Lucky Paws Tennessee. They were professional, took great care of my two pups (and even went above and beyond to help celebrate my older dog's birthday while in their care), sent updates while I was away, and my dogs came home tuckered out from playing all day and very happy. Will definitely use their services again and highly, highly recommend!! read more

My 8 month old border collie mix has been "working" full time with Grace for the last month. He's very high energy and it's been so difficult to find the right "job" for him. I work long hours and he would destroy the house if not crated so I needed a full day out of the house option. Our SPCA trainer recommended Grace! Grace picks him up around 9am and drops him off around 4pm. He has started sitting near the door around 8:45am and his ears go up the minute he thinks she's coming up the stairs. He clearly adores her and is beyond ecstatic to say hello when she arrives. The van they ride in is clearly meant for dogs, it's large and spacious and has ceiling vents of some sort. Her partner stays in the van while she gets the dogs, which is nice to know they aren't left alone, plus she never seems rushed picking up or dropping off so we get to chat briefly about his day. He's always happy and tired when he gets home which is hard to achieve with his breed. I love seeing all of this adventure pics on Luckdogsanfrancisco's instagram. Makes me happy to see him going to different parks and trails everyday! He loves variety. Plus I like seeing what other pups he's hanging out with. We completely trust Grace and know that she has Chance's best interest at heart. It has been nothing but smooth and easy since she took on our lil guy. Highly recommend. read more

I have been using lucky dog for a couple of years now, and I have to say when Grace says "we treat your pets like family" she is not kidding. Since day 1, Grace has demonstrated genuine interest in getting to know my dog, and making sure she is getting exercised, socialized, and a fair share of mental stimulation. As Kana is my first rescue, Grace has been especially helpful to coordinate with on special training and figuring a good balance between meals and treats. I kind of like to think we "all got to know each other" at the same time, and Kana couldn't be happier getting picked up in the morning, and coming home to us in the afternoon. On top of the personal connection, I have to say that Lucky Dog is reliable and gives me a lot of piece of mind as a full time worker. I know well in advance of holidays, have very reasonable policies, and they really stand out by addressing most of my questions in the same day. Lastly, the Lucky Dog Instagram account keeps me connected with my dog throughout the day. Maybe to sum it up: the last time I moved I based my entire search on being able to stay within Lucky Dog's service range - the quality of life it provides to both my dog and myself is just too good to let go of! read more

I am writing this review as I have observed Grace many times as she brings her pack to the dog park in Golden Gate Park. As a dog owner, I tend to watch dog walkers as they bring their packs into public dog parks. Grace impressed me right from the start. She is upbeat and friendly with all of the dogs in her pack and reinforces their behavior with a gentle tone and dog treats. I have never heard her raise her voice with any of the dogs in her pack. She also has GREAT command of all the dogs. When she calls them, they usually respond within a few seconds. If your dog is one of Grace's pack, he/she is in GREAT hands! read more

Grace is one of the best dog walkers I have had the pleasure of working with, and our dog loves her! She cares a great deal about the wellbeing of our little Hazel and makes sure to take her out for a decent amount of time. During that time she plays with other dogs of varying sizes, and gets some good hiking in, visiting different parks and beaches throughout the area. Grace always makes sure that all of the dogs are taken care of and even works with specific requests that your dog may need. I would highly recommend Lucky Dog for all of your walking and pet sitting needs. read more

Grace is warm and reliable and our dog Max loves her. Not only does Max come home tired and happy every day, he has also become more affectionate and playful since joining the Lucky Dog pack. He was never the most social dog with other dogs and had a lot of anxiety, due to being a rescue. But under Grace's care, Max has become more confident and puppy like even at his older age. Grace provided thorough updates after every walk while he was getting adjusted and has always let me know if something out of the ordinary happened. She also posts pictures to Instagram daily. Max is out of the house for a couple hours and gets a mix of on leash hikes and off leash play time. We really couldn't be happier with or more grateful for Lucky Dog. read more

I cannot overstate how amazing Grace is. She's so kind, gentle, patient, flexible and just overall an absolute delight. My dog has dealt with anxiety ever since I got her at 4 months old and I've tried and tried to get her socialized and get her to be more confident. Just as I was at my wits end, I saw Grace at the dog park. I couldn't help but admire how great she was with her pack and she was so approachable and kind that when I went and inquired about her services she immediately got back to me via email. It's been just over a month now of Grace walking/training my dog and the improvement is astounding. Grace has helped my girl come out of her shell and really boosted up her confidence in a way that I couldn't quite accomplish. She is amazing, trustworthy, and truly incredible. I can't express how thankful I am for her service and encourage anyone reading to go check her out as well. read more

Grace is the absolute best! After the first day our puppy would sit by the door after breakfast every day just waiting to see Grace. She would send us reassuring updates and post pictures of our happy puppy everyday. When we told Grace we were working on training our pup not to jump she immediately started helping us with that while he was in her care. We could not ask for a better dog walker and recommend her to everyone! read more

Grace has been walking and dog-sitting my two dogs since November 2017 and I'm so glad she's in our lives. Once she started walking, my older dog dropped under 40lbs for the first time in 5 years. She was 38lbs when I got her in 2011 and had been hovering around 44lbs for the last few years. I've noticed a positive change in the behavior of both of my dogs since they started walking with Grace. My Foxhound now responds to "Come!" and my chihuahua doesn't bark at strangers as frequently. Grace has also been kind enough to incorporate morning feedings into her routine. She said it helps bond her with the dogs. She's also communicative and transparent if anything unexpected happens during the walks. For example, my chihuahua recently got stung by a bee on a walk. Grace told me as soon as it happened and coordinated care with me. She even checked up on him in the afternoon to make sure he didn't have a reaction. Overall, Grace is thoughtful, considerate and thorough. She's easy to trust and rely on. Her pricing is right in the middle by San Francisco standards. Her services are not as inexpensive as Wag, but she's reliable and routined. Highly recommend! read more

As a fellow dog walker, I cannot recommend Grace highly enough. Some dog walkers are not everything they seem but Grace is completely wonderful. She adores the dogs and is exceptionally responsible. She is hardworking and deeply caring. She is very trustworthy and honest. This means the dogs are given tons of love, attention, and she works very hard to keep the pups happy and safe. I have watched her with many, many dogs. You couldn't ask for a better dog walker. read more

Grace has been walking my yellow lab puppy for the last year. I very highly recommend her. She has excellent communication and is 100% reliable. I have seen her at the dog park with all the dogs and she is excellent with knowing all of their behaviors and training. I really appreciate her and love working with her. read more

We've been with Lucky Dog since February 2018. They've been absolutely amazing since day 1 and we're so lucky to have them our lives. They proactively update us on how our dog is doing via text, even if our dog has a rough day. We know that our dog can be sometimes a handful as she lots of energy, wants to meet every dog, but can play a little rough, thus, requires breaks or 1 on 1 attention. Based on the feedback we get from them, we can tell they truly care for our dog and give her the care and attention that she needs. They really do go above and beyond. A great example is when our dog got sick and wasn't allowed to be around other dogs. The timing was great as my spouse was traveling work and my boss wasn't very thrilled about me working from home. Without asking, they offered to do 1 on 1 walks which was an absolute lifesaver (thank you again!!!!) We love Lucky Dog so much that only looked in neighborhoods that they service when we recently moved about 2 weeks ago. You guys are the best and thank so much for taking care of our dog! read more

Grace is AMAZING!!! I've been working with dogs for about 5 years in San Francisco and I've seen all kinds of dog walkers out there. Grace is professional and loving with the dogs and I highly recommend her. I wouldn't trust many people taking care of my dogs since many dog walkers out there use force and abusive "training methods" that I can't stand. When I needed help with my clients while I recovered from a cancer, I had total peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands while I'm away. I've seen Grace with the dogs at the park for about 2 years and I have nothing but only great things to say about her. My dogs and clients love her and so do I. If you need help with your dog, call Gracie! Your dog will thank you :) read more

Grace takes care of my yellow Labrador Retriever and she is amazing. He can be a headstrong dog but she is excellent and being both firm with him, which he needs and very loving towards him. He sits at our kitchen window and waits for Grace to arrive every day. When he sees her, he gets so excited. She integrated him into the pack and we are beyond thrilled with her professionalism and expertise. We highly recommend her. Scott R read more

I don't even know where to start! I have so many wonderful things to say about Grace/ Lucky Dog. We have a rescue pup with a lot of energy and some anxiety issues when he's in public, needless to say, he can be a handful. Grace goes above and beyond for our Moose in ways that we never expected. She will set aside extra time for him to do a solo walk if he's having a rough day! She gives us text updates about how their day was and always posts adorable pictures on Instagram, so we never miss Moose's adventures. You can tell how much Grace loves dogs and she treats Moose with the care and compassion as if he were her own. Moose waits by the door for Grace when he knows it's about time for a walk! Thank you Grace (and Ryan!) for being more than dog walkers, but for being part of Moose's family! read more

Grace is absolutely amazing, and I can't recommend her enough. We rescued our dog Kiki in Los Angeles and just a couple months after adopting her had to relocate to San Francisco. The move was hard for her, and she definitely had a hard time trusting new people and even other dogs. Grace was completely understanding and so willing to work with her through her trust issues. Grace really took her time to get to know Kiki had allow her to get comfortable, first with just her and then slowly integrating Kiki into the pack. At this point, Kiki basically sits by the front door in the morning and starts whining with excitement when Grace gets here. I can't recommend Grace /Lucky Dog enough, she is incredibly professional and so much love for all her dogs! read more

Grace has been amazing to us over the past year - she is so compassionate towards all the dogs and is incredibly professional in all of her communications. She does a great job of working with the pack on their recall and loose leash walking - we've seen so much improvement in our dog's command of those skills. Our dog loves being with Grace, waits by the door every morning, and is so excited as soon as Grace walks in the door. We also frequently send our dog with Grace for overnight stays where she goes on fun adventure hikes. We can't recommend Grace highly enough! read more

Gracie took fantastic care of our pup, Wrigley. She walked him for about a year, and during that time was flexible with us, and devoted to him. Gracie was observant of changes in Wrig's behavior, and noticed if something was awry. She was always on time, and we never had a moment of concern that he was either unsafe or unloved. She was able to dog sit for him when we needed her, and always thoughtful about sending photos to us when we were away. You won't have any regrets if you work with her. Thanks, Gracie! read more
